Of all the startups/websites that use Google Adsense as their main revenue model (according to <a href="http://www.bizak.com">Bizak.com</a>) their earnings per visitor (EPV) is just $0.06. That's not what they earn per click but rather based on the number of visitors they have. In order to make $1,000/month they need over 16,000 monthly visitors - not an easy feat. Better to monetize with services ($1.67 EPV) and/or subscriptions ($1.02 EPV). Even with these poor earnings 22% of startups/websites rely on Adsense as their main revenue source. 17% services and 8% subscriptions.

Many sites get most clicks from 1 cent to less than a dollar. I don't think I've ever gotten more than a dollar for a click. I like the point the John Chow made about getting .07 to 1.50 per click.

Some say the lesser the number of ads, the higher the payout. For me, it makes no difference as earnings are minimal. I wouldn't take it out completely though...as it is still money afterall. So, why waste? ;) I’m now trying to reduce the number of adsense ads on my site. Some say the lesser the number of ads, the higher the payout. For me, it makes no difference as earnings are minimal.
