Does Adsense Make Cents?

Or Dollars for that matter? Each time that I update my blog settings, it tempts me to sign up for Google Adsense. What type of success have people had running advertisements from their own personal blog? I could see people coming to a blog that is for a dedicated topic. But, I fail to see why or how any significant traffic could be generated for a personal blog, replete with the minute details of one's personal activities. Maybe if your name is Wil Wheaton, or you were otherwise a celebrity, people would be willing to read about your life.

In any case, I may try to experiment with Adsense. We'll see if it makes any sense.
