Adsense Advertising is it Worth it?

I have a blog as many of you know on blogspot.com as The Secret Blog prepaid09.blogspot.com. My question to the more experienced bloggers is: Should I get involved with Adsense by Google for advertising on my blog?
I really could use some feedback on this subject. My main concerns are 1. How much does it cost really? and are their any hidden cost 2. Is CPC really effective and 3. Will I really make any money worthwhile using Adsense advertising on my blog?

Adsense is one of several ways to earn which you should try initial.

I would suggest that instead of asking whether "Adsense advertising is worth it" you should rephrase and ask if "monetizing my blog is worth it".

Not every type of media advertising and sponsorship works for every blog, and most of the time .. somethings work, and other things do not work.

If you want to monetize your blog, then adsense is one possibility, and if it doesn't work for you - try something else. If, after trying a lot of other things it still doesn't work out .. there is something else wrong with your blog (too low traffic, wrong clientele reading your blog, controversial issues, general content, etc)

1. It doesn't cost anything to start Google Adsense. All you need is an account.
2. It works its effectiveness varies based on several factors.
3. Yes, Google Adsense is one way of earning money through your blog. You'll earn money if you get heavy traffic on your blog.

I wasn't sure if you were asking about putting Adsense in your blog or using Adwords to get traffic to your blog. I have failed miserably at getting any traffic via Adwords.

If you are planning on making a lot of money off adsense.. Don't bother.. Especially if your traffic is mainly other bloggers who also have adsense and they have developed a habit of not clicking on their own, which naturally moves into the realm of not clicking on any ads anywhere.

But if you don't care how long you have to wait in order to make any decent money by using adsense.. then by all means use it..

I don't have a ton of traffic to my blog, but I do have a consistent amount and have possibly made enough for a 16 oz. latte. If they decide to kick me off because of making this statement.. lets just say it wouldn't be a great loss... lol!
