Earnings: $810.74

Over the coarse of a week it works out to over $2 per click, so that should give you an idea of what is possible. The key to make that kind of return is having highly targeted/ high quality (from search engines) traffic.

To sum up earning with adsense, you either need massive traffic for a more general topic, or quality traffic in a profitable niche.

If you are going after high value traffic - you'd better know your SEO.
You earned $810.74 in a week (assuming because you wrote "over the course of a week")? That's awesome! I see from what I've been reading that certain keywords pay a lot more than others per-click. Look at this list The #1 Dumbest AdSense Mistake or How NOT to Earn $10,000/Month some keywords get up to $64 per click!

Also I read it's against the rules to start a web site solely for the high paying keywords and that Google has ways of knowing what sites are doing that. Basically, if I have quality genuine content on my site and/or sell a product I should get around that right?
