Is the web too saturated now to make significant money with adsense in a niche?

I have been on the Internet pretty much since it began, but it wasn't until I developed a website myself a few years ago that I discovered adsense. Until then, I had never heard of it.

I think there is still money to be made with adsense and with websites in general. Just my

I totally agree with that, i started making websites back in the 90's and not alot of people knew about advertising revenue or adsense then, even though it existed (not as google though) it existed through mostly rotations of banners sometimes earning £3 per click! Although the average user then would not know that if they clicked the ad the webmaster would recieve money for it. I'm pretty sure that is the case for a pretty large percentage of users these days too, although most users assume the webmaster will recieve some sort of revenue from advertising I don't think they suspect it as sole incomes for websites.

I generally believe that you can still make money out of Adsense if you plan it right, but do not make it your sole income and don't just have a website purely for adsense, because that just sucks.

I am kinda stuck in the same rut. (In a sense)

I started making a website that would contain content/information about things I enjoy...then I started to understand SEO a bit and realized the daunting task of even being able to show up in search results....was slim....

So, I have decided to make a website about a more specialized thing I enjoy doing. Here's to hoping that, when the site is finished and in full swing, I won't end up on Google page 1-bazillion this time.

What matters is if your website really has good contents. Adsense can come later after you have regular visitors.
