I recommend listening to Podcast #64 of Stackoverflow where they discuss their disappointment in Adsense.I also tried it on my personal blog where I get only about 50 visitors per day on the high end.  In that case it's definitely not worth it and after a few months I ended up taking it down. From the Stackoverflow podcast mentioned above:On the crushing disappointment of Google AdSense on Stack Overflow. The  theory of AdSense, matching topical  ads to the content on the page, is  fantastic. The reality of the type of  ads we actually saw on Stack Overflow  is a terrible disappointment. They  were barely relevant, and often quite  ugly.Our hand-selected ads, targetted to our audience, perform 50 times better  than AdSense. We believe that if  Google could somehow tag a site with a  specific audience topic (such as, say,  programmers) it would do much  better.If a site like Stack Overflow, which does almost a million pageviews a day,  cant make enough to cover even one  person at half time using Google  AdSense, how does anyone make a living  with AdSense? Does it even work?Joel says the only people making decent money with AdSense are scammers  who specifically build websites to do  nothing except target high  pay-per-click keywords. I am not sure  this is what Google had in mind. It is  a stunning indictment of the power of  the algorithm.
