Some say yes, and others say no. In fact I use Adsense on my blogs. I don't feel like it is really worth it if you are only creating a blog to attempt to make money. If you do that, then you are going to lose. There are countless blogs, webpages, and sites that use Adsense. The entire thing about them is that they have content that stands apart from everything else. On a forum there is a lot of different content and opinions. On a blog there are a lot of different articles and content.
The problem is that the ones who claim to be making millions with Adsense claim to do so by setting up countless spam domains and then filling them with content that is specific to certain high paying keywords. The latest one was Melanoma I can't really say why this skin cancer is such a highly sought after keyword. Some say it pays a dollar per unique click. But blogs and sites that capitalize on gaming Google get shut down eventually. Which leads to the owners going on the Google Webmaster forum and screaming about how Google is ripping them off, and how they have a legitimate site.
I've been to some of those sites... In early 2000 those sites could be bought with Adsense coded in to them. The articles were all laid out and all you had to do was upload them to your web space. These were nothing but spam pages that were meant to give information, but more to display the link code to everyone. These sites were later penalized by Google and also started dropping from search engines when the new algorithms came out that removed duplicate content. It was sad to see how many webmasters thought that Google was only out to get them. They should have known that gaming the system would amount to no good in the long run. It's karma.
Blackhat ways of making money will eventually come back and bite you. You know you are doing something wrong, and after a while it will catch up to you.
