I came across this problem on the forums today. How can you randomize which Ad Sense ad to show using Javascript?

The solution, it turns out, is very simple.

Widget Bucks is a relatively new ad network. At first glance, they appear to be a great alternative to Ad Sense - attractive ads, competitive eCPM rates, and CPM payment for non-US visitors.

After trying them out though, I found one aspect of their network - the CPM ads for foreign visitors - to be entirely disappointing.

Update: I no longer feel comfortable recommending TNX as an ad broker. Check my more recent post about how TNX links could damage your Google traffic.

A couple weeks ago, I mentioned that I was looking into using TNX as a text link ad network. This is basically a way to make money off of your sites link popularity and pagerank - regardless of click-through rates and traffic.

After some more research, I think I’ve got a better idea of the potential of TNX - and I’m liking it more. Let’s take a look at potential earnings on the site.

Although Google Adsense is easy and convenient, it isn’t always the best choice for monetization. My click-through rate and eCPM is relatively low - but there are other methods to turn traffic into cash.

One method is to sell text link ads. A major ad group on this front is Text-Link-Ads. However, while I’m building up my pagerank, I decided to test out a different provider - TNX.

If you operate a website (like this blog), Google Adsense is probably one of your main streams of revenue. Although you may eventually outgrow Adsense, chances are you’ll have used it at some point.

While looking through my Adsense stats, I noticed an odd trend. This trend suggested a few things about monetizing a site through Adsense - questions that I don’t have an answer for yet, but that I will be looking for.
