Adsense vs Adsonar
Adsense is more than double what you can expect from Adsonar, plus, with adsonar, ads seemed to be way off giving my website a 'spammy' appearance.
Adsense vs Bidclix
No comparison here! Adsense beat Bidclix without question and again, the ads seemed to be off target.
Adsense vs Clicksor
Adsense made Clicksor look Ridiculous – the payout was not only unimpressive, but downright poor! Adsense beat Clocksor no problem.
Adsense vs IntelliTXT
IntelliTXT didn't pay quite as good as Adsense, but the support is absolutely awesome. You’ll get an account representative who treats you with respect and genuinely cares about how your site is performing. It’s nice to know that if you have a question, you can simply contact your support representative. Adsense vs. IntelliTXT, great support, targeted ads, great service made this a hard call!
Adsense Alternative
I have always wanted to know what Adsense Alternative is out there, so I put together this list of contextual advertising programs. I have tried each one of these alternatives and list the amount that each program pays and what they look like when you're logged in. The reason I set out to join each program and do a comparative analysis is not because I am dissatisfied with Google's Adsense, but rather I didn't feel comfortable having all my eggs in one basket. I have to tell you, after all my research, Adsense is by far the stable advertising program on the net today with YPN Publisher Network paying the Highest.
You'll notice a table at the top of this page listing each contextual advertiser and associated results for 1000 clicks. The statistics, such as click through rate, clicks and earning per click have all been based on actual figures, but can still be inaccurate. Day of week, advertisers spending limits and more can cause these statistics to change daily, even hourly. For me, they satisfy my desire to know what programs other than adsense, are really out there.
Adsense is not listed as I am not permitted to display statistics, but I can say that Google's Adsense out performs the best of programs by at least double.
I should also say that Vibrant Media is by far the most personable advertising program I have found yet. You'll get a representative that works with you every step of the way to get you up and running and that's just the beginning! More about Vibrant Media can be found here at IntelliTXT

How much is your blog worth? In acquiring Weblogs Inc., AOL has provided some concrete metrics to future valuation of blogs. How much will traditional media be willing to pay for a blog? Conversely, how much would you sell your blog for?
AOL-Weblogs Inc. Deal – Benchmark for Future Blog Valuation
Weblogs Inc was established by Jason Calacanis and Brian Alvey in 2003. It is a network of blogs which includes under its wings successful blogs such as Engadget and Autoblog. Jason Calacanis pointed out that Weblogs Inc. earns in excess of $1 million yearly in Google Adsense revenues alone.
AOL purchased Weblogs Inc. for a confidential sum assessed at somewhere between $25 - $40 million. After said purchase, Tristan Louis came up with a blog valuation scheme based on the deal. He created a chart of blog value using the value of each inbound link to Weblogs Inc. as the basis. It is common knowledge that blog readers follow links. Search engines also act as users and primarily determine blog quality rankings based on linkage data thus direct and indirect value links are a great proxy for value measurement. In the blogosphere, conversations that nurture connectivity represented by links and indexes like Technorati give a vantage view of the value of a blog.
Tristan Louis itemized the publicly available data (list of blogs indexed) at Weblogs Inc. network including the number of inbound links (Technorati blog numbers) per blog divided by the purchase price to determine the value of an inbound link to a blog. At the rumored price of $25 million, the estimated value is $ 564 per link. At $30 million, it is $677.57 per link and $903.42 at an acquisition price of $40 million. Interestingly, the consumer segment chalks up the biggest percentage of linkage. Engadget represents over a third of the overall network traffic.
Applying Tristan Louis’s Weblogs Inc, sale, Dave Winer has also sold http://Weblogs.com to Verisign for a rumored price of around $2 million. Blog entrepreneur Nick Denton, founder of Gawker Media has signed a deal with VNU Media to publish Gizmodo (gadget blog) across Europe in six languages.
