Adsense on blogs really just makes Google money. My choice of blog advertisement is <a href="https://chitika.com/mm_overview.php?refid=writt4" rel="nofollow">Chitika Inc's eMiniMalls</a>. Not only do YOU select and control what advertisement category shows it is actually quite easy to fit into any theme. Now it is a big no-no to talk about how much I pull in with my single advert, but lets just say I can usually pay an MMO subscription for a month and I barely have any traffic compared to some of you. As long as you don't spam the advertisements I see no harm in them at all and since it pays out monthly as long as you get $10 it is the premiere choice for bloggers IMHO.

As of today, I've paid out a total of $9.61 at $1.05/day. If he reads this article, I'd be interested in finding out how much of that he receives. To date, the ad there has sourced two applications: one from the person who saw the ad and then another from his son who applied at his suggestion. At $5 per application, I'd say that's a great response. I actually haven't done the numbers on my other ads, so I can't provide specific comparisons but I'm curious enough now where I'll do the math at some point. If anyone's interested in the perspective of an advertiser, feel free to ask me questions here or just PM me via my website; I'm happy to answer them. This is the only <a href="http://www.gunpowderandmagic.com/Adwords/061117adsummary.JPG" rel="nofollow">screenshot </a>I have uploaded at the moment; a month old, it's not particularly representative at this point. I passed the $700 mark yesterday and will approach the $1000 mark by Saturday when I'll close out my recruiting campaign until the expansion releases.

He trimmed this one way back to keep readability high, so I’m not even on the edges of this one. It was quite interesting to see the different ‘regions’ of the MMOGosphere continent, with the players to the south and the academics to the north, and those creepy SL people thankfully off on their own little island.
