If you are interested in making money online, you are probably familiar with all of the standard money making techniques; Adsense, affiliate programs, contextual links, signature files, etc. These are all pretty standard within the industry and they work quite well.
Most webmasters place Adsense as well as ads for other publishers and give them premium placement on their sites. Even though they will only make a few cents per click, some sites bring in thousands of dollars in advertising every month. However, very few small sites bother to place ads for their own (or affiliate) products on their site and this is a big mistake. On a per click basis, each click on your own product’s ad can easily be worth 2 or 3 times what you are getting from other advertisers.
For that reason, I always place ads for my own (and affiliate) products on every page of my sites. This method works great and is responsible for about 25% of the affiliate sales that I generate each month. I design my own ads for these products and put I them in prominent locations on every page. I vary the placement and look of the ads so that a visitor may not even realize that they are looking at an ad for the same product. In this way, each page looks unique and visitors do not become blind to a particular ad (or location) because of its repetition.
So if you are excited about the advertising money that you are making with your site, try including ads for your own, or affiliate products. Used consistently, this technique can easily double or triple the value of each click and the amount of advertising money that you are making each month.

A tide of public awareness?
By: www.mywebusage.com | 02-07-2008
you seem to be confident that these changes are only taking place on a corporate side. I fear that this assumption could be a little shortsighted. How do you propose that advertisers can counteract the rise in public awareness of advertising technologies which were previously operated "under the covers". After all how many people are prepared to stop and talk to marketing or PR enquiries on the high street? when people are given the option they invariably decide to opt-out.How can the "marketing intelligence industry" tackle this rise in "public awareness"?
