6 I run a technical website with around 6k visits per day, and my
7 experience is that ads which aren't irritating and annoying don't pay
8 much. I had an almost-nice experience with Text-Link-Ads, but they
9 have a manual URL submission and approval process, and they turned
10 down my most-trafficked pages.

12 The other recurring difficulty I've had is finding an ad network which
13 comprehends technical markets. Since I can't find an ad network which
14 runs ads relevant to my users, I don't show ads.
