You probably are overestimating the income ads bring in. It’s a violation of my terms of services to discuss it in detail, but try to guess how much we get per click on an ad, and how many times you’d have to click to make that $5.

Average of $0.08 per click making it 62 and a half clicks to make it $5. I’d say on a good day AdSense makes you about $175, but realistically it’s even less because AdSense appeals to users of the internet whom aren’t that savvy. Your dealing with a demographic that has ads blocked and even if they don’t have grown accustomed to ignoring them.

Anyhow though most people on the internet look at Google AdSense as the epitome of ways to make money on the internet it can be a cruel mistress. One month she pays for every bottle of Jager you drink the next you’re searching for a generic alternative. If anything I’d suggest maybe trying new means of advertisement. YPN used to pay out nicely but now they’re pretty much on the same levels as Google. Maybe look into TLA, Federated Media and finally The DECK though it’s virtually impossible to get into.

And to finally answer the question this thread asks; I’m on the fence of whether I’d pay or not I’d have to see the price and the terms of that price.
