Whatever Google Adsense felt like showing you above my posts via RSS:

Hand-picked stuff I think you might like from Amazon:

AdSense paid me $50. Amazon paid me under $20. One took no work. The other was me trying to find what mattered to people I care about.

As I explore the different ways people make money from the web, it’s interesting to see what works and what doesn’t. I’m on the advisory board of Izea for the same reason. I want to better understand this. I follow Angel Djambazov’s work on Revenews for the same reason. I learn from smart people like Jim Kukral, Darren Rowse, and by going to shows like the Affiliate Summit.

But that result above merits noting. Not that one should festoon their site with ads. There are lots of ways to make money. I’m learning about them a bit at a time, to share with you, so that I have more to give to interesting causes (like buying some bricks), and so that I know how others are using the web. So, what does this mean for it all? How will ads be more relevant, less relevant?

And how does this affect the way companies look at the online space in general?

What do you think?
