Is it possible to make money from the web's ads??

Bill Thompson from the BBC wrote in [1] that according to ZenithOptimedia, advertisers will spend 448 US$ bn worldwide in 2007. That is just a lot of money, I can see why Google has an endless pocket. My question is how can I get a slice from that?. First I will have to build a really good and innovate web application or make a nice and useful website, so I decided to make some research, I found that Hal Varian (Chief Economist from Google) [2] says that 2% of ads might get clicks. So with that information I made an example: (I guess this could be the worst scenery).

Traffic (users per day)

Your ads's income could start to be interesting if you receive 50,000 of people every day, that is 100 US$ (Google pay you checks since 100 US$). It can be disappointed, so much work to receive only 100 US$!!!, seems a bad a idea, but I still believe that I can do a better job, the idea is to make something new and useful, I will still thinking, maybe I will come up with an idea. If I am wrong let me know it.
