Wohoo! I just got my first adsense check in the mail. It’s a free $120. 
With what I pay for hosting this site, this check will almost cover the whole past year, not including the domain name registration fees. Awesome! Let’s hope my check won’t bounce.
Thanks to everyone who clickered my adz or white listed me in their adblock.
Several people asked me this so I figured I’ll share it here: this site usually earns me $30-40 a month. For example I earned $40 in March and about the same amount in April so far. In February I think I got around $30 and January was $20 something. Some months are better, and some are worse. It’s not big bucks but it helps to pay for hosting.

Yeah, I think it’s worth it. Just don’t click on your own ads.
I did that once, and I got a nasty email saying not to do it again, on they will suspend me.
Google knows when you are sleeping, they know when you’re awake, and they definitely know when you click on your own ads.
$120!
I’ve gotta get off Wordpress.com. I could be making money doing this.

Definitely. I think you get enough hits to make some decent cash of it.

Part of it is getting enough hits, and part of it is choice of ad boxes and their placement. The square and skyscraper shapes seem to earn more for some reason than the banners. Go figure. I’m still playing around with the placement, but the way I have them right now seems to be working.
Did you mis-spell cheque or is that the American spelling?
and also.. would you be able to fool the “no clicking your own ads” thing by using a different computer? I see no reason why it would be able to link the two so I’m guessing it would…
In any case, well done for being able to make money out of the internets without having to charge anyone for your services
