I know this subject has come up before but I think its worth asking how or if people make money on their blogs, general sites.
For most of our clients sites its direct sales, though a few use adsense, and we at Venture Skills make a side profit through affiliate and reseller bits and pieces.

My top earning programs at this time are adsense, kontera and the fast approval submittions I got in my directory.
Regarding Darren's post, I think it feels a little strange that his #1 money maker is displayed with a referal link attached. Especially when there are so many debates regarding that company....

I was surprised he is normally pretty good at pointing out when its an affiliate link but almost all those links went via his affiliate id's, I only noticed when I bookmarked a couple.

I know that Darren Rowse is one of the most respected bloggers out there, but in my honest opinion he has a "special" connection with this company. I don't have any fact to support this, but I remember him as the one who created the buzz about this company before 1-2 years....

not sure its his own business but its a glowing testimonial I should point out that I think that's all it is, I made my post tongue firmly in my cheek!
at the moment AdSense is my highest income stream with about $50 a day.
Excellent.
I know that adsense and traffic are directly related. The more traffic, the more adsense revenue. Therefore, I believe a "How to obtain traffic" thread is in order.
