Today I was approved for Google Adsense and experimented today with all variety of ads. So far, I have been basing my placement and color schemes on Joel Comm’s book, the Adsense Code. Since neither MeridianConcepts.com or any of my other channels are indexed yet, I’m not expecting much - but I’ll keep you posted.

So far, I am looking at several monetization mechanisms - with Google Ads being primary.

1. Google Adsense

2. Kontera

3. Affiliate relationships with Amazon/Ebay

4. Additional opportunistic affiliations through Commission Junction, etc.

5. TextLinkAds

I’ll be glad to share my experiences as I learn. Please feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions!
