The same thing happened to me. I played with some others, such as ContextWeb and Clicksor. They didn't generate much revenue and were never really "context" appropriate. After much thinking, I've come to the conclusion that Google Adsense is ruining the web, and have decided not to run any "context" ads on my sites - only direct sponsors. I also refuse to ever click any Google ads on any site, ever.

I would definitely check out Yahoo! Publisher Network. Some people have even had better experiences with it than Google AdSense.

I'm not sure. I've seen some smaller sites that use YPN. DaniWeb was invited into YPN's beta program without even requesting an invitation, and we don't have 20 million pageviews a month (yet).

Check out Commission Junction for a nice listing of affiliate programs.
