Here’s a potential way to make money from Google that is not AdWords or AdSense related.

You can sign up to help them test products through Google User Experience Research.

If they select you, you have an opportunity to make money by either traveling to them, or right from your own computer.

In the FAQ the answer to the question “Do I Get Paid?” states:

Yes – it depends on the type of study, but typically we pay $75 for each hour that you spend with a Google researcher, either in person or on the phone. Most studies last for one to one-and-a-half hours. We don’t pay for your travel time, or travel expenses, though. For online surveys, which you complete from your own computer, the amount varies, depending on the length of the survey.

I’m not sure how good your chances are at being selected, but if this sounds like something you might be interested in, you can check it out here.
