The New York Times published information on what percentage Google Adsense premium publishers receive in the Google network.

It's a lucrative 78.5 cents in the dollar for every click for premium members - but this figure is thought to be around 10-20 percent lower for "normal" Adsense publishers.

Adsense is a fantastic way to earn money by providing quality content but, unfortunately, a fantastic way to earn money by scraping unique content.

The New York Times reports:

Google's advertising network sales, which come largely from its AdSense advertisers, reached $675 million in the third quarter of 2005, the last period for which Google reported results. That figure was up 76 percent from a year earlier. AdSense generates slightly less revenue than Google's primary revenue engine, its search Web sites, which sold about $885 million worth of ads in the third quarter of 2005, a 115 percent jump from the previous year.
