Adsense works reasonably well for me as I’m in a niche that has high value products that don’t sell in massive numbers.

I make a bit less from paid-for links each month than I do from Adsense.

I’ve been meaning to setup some advertising space on the sidebar of my blog but I’ve been meaning to do this for months!

Adsense is working best for me but affiliate ads aren’t doing well since my website doesn’t have a particular niche.

Kontera ads are doing ok to but they dont pay as much as Adsense.

I think it always comes down to quality. Quality content will always be in demand. Of course, “quality” is in the eye of the beholder, however, I think everybody recognizes gibberish, meant only to plant a link, keyword, or to take up space, when we see it.

Affiliate sales and adsense works best for me at the moment.I just started selling advertising on my blog and it is slowly picking up speed.

I have been using adsense for the past 2.5 months (that’s the time since i started blogging on a self hosted wordpress), and i must say I am not impressed with the way things are going. Your poll might give me an idea what alternative I must be looking at. Bookmarked and saved

My strategy to make money has always been to first create a well visited site or blog, then I start to add affiliate links inside my posts or pages. I have found that to work best for me, compared with standard banners and adsense.

well, i feel adsense will suffice all your monetization goals. Especially if they are image ADS . click thru rate is comparativley above average.Correct me if i`m wrong.

Adsense is definitely the easy way to go, but not the best . . .

I’m always a little ambivalent about the click-through rate on page banners, as I’ve never been on a site and clicked on an add. What do you guys think?
