Placing them up using the default theme requires little effort ... and yields little results. The number one thing to do is remove the borders and make the ads blend into your site. Add a gray background and make the link colors match your other links. Also, try other ad units like horizontal ones. Experiment more and see which give the best results. Check out ProBlogger.net for more great info on this stuff. I make a few bucks a day on AdSense, but it adds up to a nice $100+ a month. You can start by actually modifying the ad colors.
