So, I'm setting up Google adsense and planning on implementing it on a few websites in order to improve on reoccuring monthly income.

How much do you guys typically earn from websites with Adsense? What's the most you've ever got?

I set it up on a website a long time ago, but my traffic was pathetic.

Made maybe about $0.10 a month?

The website is now long gone by the way, so not making anything currently.

$108 YTD, $29.72 best month this year

Not much weight without proof: http://imgur.com/YiyEke0

Most of mine has come from a single post about uses for a Raspberry Pi[1].

I've done a lot wrong when trying to build site traffic (multiple domain/url scheme changes, etc) so I think I would be doing much better if I had focused more in the past.

The highest I earned was $20000/month. Now making $10000 - $15000 each month. It varies significantly month to month.

Historically, I got a payout once a year of something over $100. This year, I am still way short of hitting a payout.

But I would really like more info on traffic, content, etc from the guys reporting serious dough from this.
