I recently signed up for (again), a Google Adsense account. The idea is simple and straightforward, you sign up, inject some code into your web site or blog, and ad's are delivered via Google. Google tracks the click through's from your site, and depending on a number of factors you begin to earn revenue.

The ad's will gradually adjust so that they are relevant to the content of your blog. This is accomplished by some arcane algorithm that Google uses as they index Adsense enabled sites and blogs. At the moment, the ad's on my blog seem to have developed a fixation with my name, "Bob" and I have ad's for "Bob The Builder Pajamas" and "Bob Dylan Art".  And somehow it decided that my blog was the perfect forum for selling woman's underwear last night and I had tall "skyscraper" images of scantily clad women all over my blog. (Try explaining that one to your wife!!!)

As of yet, I have earned a grand total of... Drum roll please.... ZIP, Nada, Zilch! But it has been only a few days. I also signed up for the affiliate program with my webhost, and if someone clicks on their banner ad's on my site, and meets some other conditions, I can earn referral fee's etc.

So if you need a good, .NET enabled, dasBlog friendly webhost, please come to my site, and click on the banner for WebHost4Life, and then sign up for a year of no hassle, worry free, low cost webhosting!  My wallet will thank you!

Cheers,
