Google is also improving all the loopholes where people without hosting anything, just get contents from other sites and have google AdSense on the same page and used to earn money.
I remember there was a company in Kitchener-Waterloo area whose business model was on AdWords and AdSense. Not sure what it is doing right now.
Hi Garvo. I hope you dont mind me asking this and I assume you run this website, but if all you are getting from adverts is $500, how do you make money of this site. Or is this not a profit making business?
Btw on a side note you can think about investing in forum software like vbulletin which is less headache to maintain and has more features.
No, it is not a profitable business at all. I have to survive on my full-time job.
VBulletin is expensive and also memory hog. The cost of migration to new platform would be much higher. Also we are not just a forum, and VBulletin will not provide all the sections we have.

impressive. if you need any help let me know.
Designed a few websites myself.
I agree with pratickm. During the dot com era, they said Walmart will be gone. There was a desi dude who gave a speech in Buffalo saying that all retail including mom/pop shop will be gone. Well, how things change. The dude is not to be seen anymroe anywhere, Walmart is still doing profitable business. Lots of desis lost their jobs during the meltdown.

Internet will be the lead source of advertisement as compared to television,radio.
So don't think that the companies like Google will be gone.
Don't compare it with online shopping/online stores etc.
Technology like Adsense will apply to every kind of business as every business needs advertisement.
