What is your experience with Google Adsense?

[Nomad]

I first started using Google Adsense through Hubpages. That was back in 2012. I did not have trouble getting approved for my Adsense. I used adsense on my Blogspot blog back in 2013. I used Adsense on my self hosted website for the first time in 2015. In less than 6 months, I was using Adsense on half a dozen sites, but I did not receive my first payment until 2017. Since then I have been receiving Adsense payment every month.

Do you use Adsense? When did you start using it? Do you make money with Adsense?

My experience is that they can be unduly picky about things if a forum has a very broad range of content and aren't always reliable at scale. For something small they should be fine. Ethically I snub them but that's more on them being the industry flagship of a borderline malware delivery service that harvests everyone it touches.

I have Adsense and started using it on one forum I co-own a few years ago now. I recently got accepted for another forum I own too but at the moment, not making too much but have made something.

This is an interesting interpretation.
I have been using it for almost 12 years without any issues, making is not always easy but it is better than nothing. Certain niches pay really well through Adsense, for instance insurance and finance niches can earn you really well.
