Some people make big money from Adsense

So there's a site called Plenty of Fish (which incidently I had never heard of) - apparently it's a free dating site, a bit like Match.com or something I guess (maybe the Craigslist for getting a girlfriend - are you listening George? ;-)

Anyway, it turns out this is run by one person (and a big hosting bill......) and he gets all his money from Google Adsense revenue. He posted a pic in the link below of his latest check from those guys - apparently 2 months of traffic netted him almost a cool million (not sure if this is US or Canada dollars, but with the exchange rate being nearly 1 for 1 these days anyway, I doubt it matters much). That's a pretty nice way to make your millions. Now I just need to work out how to drive a lot more people to this site (maybe more posts and little something that's interesting every now and again might work, but don't hold your breath too long - the blue colo(u)r doesn't suit you).
