Not a virtual pet site but my first site was a personal blog which I started using as a multi niche blog site later. Even though I managed to make money in the first month through donations, it took me over two years to make $100 from advertising revenue.

Unless you can make it insanely popular, I imagine it take a few years to start earning anything.

A couple of months and I was up to $150, which was a lot for a 12/13 year old at that time.
They paid CPM, and I was in the $1-3 CPM tier. The person I partnered with, and stole the game, was in tier 1 at $7-13 CPM and didn't even want to pay me a little more than I was making; he wanted it all.
Those were the days...

$150 per month after a few months? That's impressive especially for a 13 year old web developer. Keep up the good work!

Which ad company were you using during that time period? I remember that at one point, ValueClick was a good CPM ad network for monetizing games, along with Tribal Fusion.
DoubleClick was also effective and offered CPM rates, although it’s now owned by Google. Google AdSense also offers CPM ads, but its rates can vary.
