If you are looking for ways to monetize your site you might think about using Adbrite.
Adbrite works some what like Google Adsense in that you can place text or graphical advertising banners in a number of different places within your web page. You can set up your adbrite advertising areas so that it displays one or several text or graphical advertisements in a horizontal or vertical position.
Adbrite is not contextual, which means that you can use it along side Google Adsense advertising if you’d like.
When you set up your account with Adbrite you will set up “zones” for your website(s). You can set up your advertising so that you will only accept flat rate advertising – as in, an advertiser purchases an advertising space from you for a day, week, or month, or you can have a running rotation of ads that you either approve one at a time as requests come in, or allow Adbrite to approve the ads for you. The rotating ads will be text and or banner ads and they work through CPC, or pay per click as far as payment goes.
You can target the type of ads that you get by using keywords and site descriptions as well as your location.
You can also customize the coding for your advertising sections so that the ads blend well with your website. The Adbrite ads on this site are in the middle column towards the bottom.
Give it a try. I’ve been doing fairly well with Adbrite.
