Popular Ad Networks for your blog monetization

Blogging can become an excellent way for you to make money online. But there is one thing you should know - the money  will not come to you just overnight. As any other way  for making money, blogging also takes a lot of time and your patience. If you already have a blog or may want to build your own, I will give you some ways how to earn money just blogging. 

All you need to do is to display ads on your blog, list of which is below. I have experience only with several of them, still have not tried all of them. How it works? You apply for the choosen networks and, if get accepted by them, you get ad codeand put it on your blog to display the ads. When your blogs readers click these ads, you earn money per click, it's little money, but still money.  Some of the networks pay per impression, means a certain amount of money per 1K views of the ads.

My list of popular Ad Networks:

• Google Adsense – Adsense is  called pay per click -
  
  PPC, some pay per impression. Earned money, minimum is $100 you can withdraw via check or direct deposit.
• Media.net – this ad network, owned by Yahoo, delivers targeted ads, based on the content of each page you have created. Media ad network pays out via wire transfer or Paypal if you have $100 in your account. 
• Chitika – this network is popular Adsense ads alternative. It pays monthly via Paypal if you have earned at least $10. Also you can request a check if earned $50.
• AdThrive – there are two levels of service: AdThrive Edge and AdThrive Premium. To be accepted for their Edge level ads you must have at least 100K page views per month,  for premium ads you must have 750K page views per month. Payments are proceeded monthly via direct deposit.

• Sovrn – it has been known as Lijit network in the past. Sovrn is a part of Federated Media. I have heard good news from other bloggers, that after they have changed things in Sovrn, they became much better to use and people earn more than when they were Lijit.
