Don’t get me wrong I am not saying other networks are better than Adsense, all I am saying is, relying only on AdSense is wasting your ad inventory.

In fact when you first launch your blog the best network to go with is AdSense as it is easy to signup (no minimum traffic required), easy to setup, shows optimized ads and most of all when you start a blog have no idea which ad spots on the site will bring in the big buck but as you grow considering a combination of ad networks really helps.

After experimenting and looking around for a while I realized having a combination of PayPerClick (Adsense), Pay Per Impression (Tribal Fusion) and InLine Ads (Kontera) was the best way to go forward because of the way AdSense behaves when traffic spikes on a good day of the month or the week (read about AdSense Smart Pricing).

Once your traffic grows and you are in a position to understand which ad spot is working well and which isn’t that is when you should start adding other networks on your site. I originally had about 6 blocks of Adsense on a “Single” page which I later reduced to 3 and replaced other 3 with Impression based ads from Tribal Fusion. Reducing AdSense blocks actually increased the revenue from Adsense by a couple hundred dollars and the other 3 spots I replaced with Tribal Fusion brought in impressive revenues too.

Kontera is another sort of monetizing platform which converts selected words in your article to link-ads. Revenues from this source might not be as high as Adsense or others but will surely be enough to pay the cost of running a site (dedicated servers, etc..).

I’ve seen 70-80% jump in the ad revenues since these changes were made and today 40-50% revenues come in from the non-AdSense sources.

Today, there are more ways of monetizing your content than you are probably aware of. For example, Pixazza helps you monetize your blog images, Viglink helps you monetize the product links on your blog, etc.. while some of them help you monetize your content well, other will steer your readers away because of their in-your-face nature. Be a better judge of which monetization solution is good for your site and readers.

Though the secret formulae to higher revenue is “Great Content = Visitors = Revenue”, Optimization could be the low hanging fruit as you can do quite a bit to improve the conversion rate between “Visitors” and “Revenu”. So the key lies in experimenting and being open to changes.

Hope this helps, I am open to answer any questions without being too specific about numbers relating to total revenue or traffic.
