PPC profits, do they exist?

[padma]

I'm just curious how many others have sites created just for ppc profits, and how well you are able to do with them. I've heard of people making in the
10's of thousands and I have a hard time believing they get that many clicks. My site (which isn't geared towards ppc but I don't turn away the $) makes a meager few dollars per day/week, but is new and doesn't have a ton of traffic yet. Is it really possible to get your ads viewed enough to make thousands on ppc?

They do exist. But most are pretty wimpy. Good content ones do better. A friend of mine has a site that is a clothing store and she makes $3k per month with 7 thousand uniques with adsense.

I have one, http://sportsmedinfo.net, that up until a couple of months ago was a Joomla experiment. I did not like it in Joomla and it indexed poorly. So the joomla part will be changed into a review of products section. It's still up there, just not connected. And you can see it at

I had thought affiliate marketing would be good for this site but I'm finding that a lot of the products I want for it are sort of obscure. So I'm only able to get them through amazon associates. They give you 24 hour buy window which is really tight. Other aff programs give you a week to 30 days. I have eastbay so I can get the knee strap but I want the one recommended by the sports med docs and it's not always in stock.

So right now, it's an adsense site and a work in progress lately as I add more content. It's slow since I only want articles from medical professionals. I just got two from a foot doctor. They take some time to do since they send me docs with no subheads. I also have them take a final review since their reputation is up there on the internet. I also like to have pictures so that adds time, too.

I just re-read this answer from ItalianJob and wanted to bump it for others to read because I thought it was both inspiring and some good info. I hope this isn't against the forum rules.
