Even with very moderate traffic, if your website has the right audience you can use Google Adsense to cover your hosting costs quite easily, without ruining the experience. I have a _single page_ web site (driven by a Rails service) where I am able to cover all of my hosting costs, across several providers, because AdSense returns a $3 CPM for me. Could I afford to keep the site up without it? Yes. But why? Having AdSense on the site takes zero incremental work after the initial setup.
