whatever, but I'd

I'm in the midst of creating a couple of personally owned sites. Neither are aimed to be the next Facebook/Twitter/whatever, but I'd like to be able to make some money off of them, at the very least to cover a portion of my hosting costs. The problem is, I'm not sure where to look. I know of things like AdSense and other PPC 3rd party advertisers, but am worried about their relevancy. I don't want ads for things that aren't at least tangentially related to my content. I'm also concerned that these generated ads will be ugly, and detract from my site.

And, to clarify, I'm looking for ads to display on my sites, not for a service to advertise my sites on other sites.

So, what would you (the collective you) suggest as the best bang for my buck? Ideally, I'd grow to a point where I could get direct advertising, but that's definitely a long term goal.

I physically went to stores in the near-by area, printed out a few pages of my site, and asked them if they would like to advertise their business on my site.

I made 4X's as much as AdSense this way.

You could try project wonderful, it has a pretty unique model. It's really transparent, and it's a relatively rare opportunity to get pay-per-view ads even on a small site.

I would say AdSense is a great place to start (but not to end up with), in small sites, there un-expensive, easy to manage and with enough traffic, profitable!

Eventually affiliate systems and direct ads, will be necessary, but not until you have sever hundred* daily visits.

Good luck!
