The most succesful I've heard of is sites able to cover their hosting costs
(approx US$300/mth) from ad revenue - sorry I can't give specific examples.
However this is heavily dependent on the type of site & the kind of visitors
it attracts.
eg Sites that attract a high number of pubescent lads, do well with 'adult'
industry ads.
IMO, the kind of people who'd be visiting a permaculture resource site are
probably unlikely to be very susceptible to any type of advertising, thus
click through rates would probably not be high.

ps I think the idea of making the entries on the plant DB non-month and
non-hemisphere specific
is a jolly good one!
