Adsense can be a very successful way for the Internet marketing content producer to generate income from content. Using Adsense, contextual ads that target your visitors based on why they came to your site, are useful for the visitor because the visitor gets exposed to more resources in the area of interest.
You as the publisher can get reimbursed for your writing and information procurement skills by providing the context for the ads.
Using Adsense is not always as intuitive as one might think and I have found actual case studies to be very useful in helping to answer the question of "How to make money with Adsense".
These case studies are available for free on the Google Adsense blog. Take a moment to read a few and see if they inspire you.

SEO Tool for Adsense
Considering running Adsense on your blog or website to generate income from your writing? Just slapping some Adsense on your site and hoping for the best is not the smartest strategy.
Some keywords seem to generate ads that are not very appealing or relevant to the actual market. This is one reason why it is helpful to have some knowledge of your target market as you are preparing your Internet marketing strategy. If you note that the ads are not appropriate or relevant for your site, you may choose not to run them at all.
Labnol has a very handy SEO tool, Google Adsense Sandbox, that allows you to quickly view the ads for a given keyword. It is the only one of its kind as far as I know. Check it out and bookmark it for future reference.

Wrong AdSense Publisher Number on Blogger?
I discovered a serious problem with my Adsense Publisher number of my Adsense ads after I switched over to the new blogger blogging platform.
The worse thing I did not realize there was a problem for some time.
Here's what happened:
When you add the Adsense page element to your new blogger blog, at the bottom of the Add Gadget dialogue box, your adsense publisher number is listed at the bottom and it asks you if you want to change your publisher ID.
First, I was careless and did not immediately check that the AdSense Publisher number was right. I just assumed it was. Big mistake.
Once I realized the first mistake and not checking that the right AdSense Publisher number was being served up, I knew I had to change it.
I clicked on the "change publisher ID" option thinking that would easily fix the problem. It did not. Oh boy, time to google.
I did find several instances of this problem but no one quite seemed to have a difinitive answer that worked for everyone. Add to this the fact that Google Adsense support appears to be quite non-existent.
The best answer I found was to try to clear the cache. That did not work for me.
In desperation, I decided to just remove the whole Adsense gadget and try to start over.
That worked! I was so happy (after starting to really get mad).
So double check your Adsense Publisher codes on your new blogger blogs. If they do not match your code listed at the top right hand of your Adsense account, try closing all of your adsense gadgets on your blogger blog and then re-open them and see if that works. If it does not, log into your Adsense account and create a new ad. Copy and paste the html code for the new adsense unit and add a new "html/Javascript) gadget to your blog with the code in it.
Any other suggestions? Please leave comments.
