Does Adsense make cents?

I decided to put up some ads from Google on my blog yesterday. When I looked at my "new" blog and saw the ads, I wasn't sure if I liked them. It kind of makes my blog look...well, just not as appealing. I am going to keep them up for a while to see if I can make some money from this. I know it wont be much, especially since I do not have a lot of people viewing my blog yet. That being said, I made .98 since yesterday. If I could make a dollar a day, that would be an extra 30$ a month and every little bit counts. So, whoever clicked on my ads yesterday...thank you! I will update you guys on how much money I can make with this in a month! I would say my goal for this would be 30$ for January, however, I don't really have much control over it...so I will just see what happens.
