c)      Private Ads: If you have a huge, loyal fan-base, then selling private ads is not difficult for you. Advertisers themselves approach you and you can set your own ad rates. The rates are usually directly proportional to your reader base.

One of the most popular ads network is Google AdSense, while some others are Chitika , Media.net and Infolinks.

The advertiser provides you with a unique link to track your affiliate code and you can incorporate it in the content as per your choice.
