Another slow week, I haven't been doing many surveys over the last couple of weeks as I've been concentrating on this blog promoting it and writing articles. This is the first week I haven't made any money from adsense, this is because I've been moving things around and trying different things. I've moved the adsense ads down to make room for the Adbrite ads as I think in the short term Adbrite has the potential to earn more money than adsense, I think once I'm getting more visitors then this will probably change. I'm going to keep experimenting and seeing what works and what doesn't, once I have some answers I will let you know.

Of all the methods that you are actively using (i.e not adverts) are there any you can recommend that will provide regular money that are internationally available?
Hi Rob,
the only methods I use that don't involve adverts are the paid surveys and writing reviews for Ciao. I would recommend Ciao as they provide surveys and you can do reviews, the surveys only come in now and then though and are only worth between £1 and £2 each and can take anything upto 20 minutes to complete. The reviews are a good option if you are a good writer and you have lots of things you can do reviews about.
Another thing you can do, but I'm not actually doing myself is writing articles for other sites. I know there are sites that pay for good quality articles that can then be sold on, I can't recommend any particular ones though.
I hope that helps, maybe I'll do an article about it soon as well.
Cheers
Martin
Careful- you can't have adsense running on the same page ao other contextual based ads....

I made mistake #1 on that list, lol...
Meanwhile, I'm keeping an eye on your progress, and keeping my fingers crossed, hoping you find some success.
