Depends on the site. There is no silver bullet.
Depends on the offers available for that niche, the demographics I'm aiming at, my visitors, and quite simply just what I have tested and works. I've got all three running and working quite well, but I know for a fact that if I swapped them over they would perform really very horribly.

In the past I had only run a CPM chain (Tribal Fusion, Burst, Valueclick, Casale, etc) as well as Adsense. Now I am still doing a chain but I have Gorilla Nation representing my website and bringing in some premium advertisers who are paying mid $x CPM for most campaigns. In the fall when school starts back up, they are planning on selling some custom campaigns (branded micro-sites, homepage takeovers, sponsored promotional contests, etc).
I talk to my account rep on AIM (or phone if its important) a few times a week and he's giving me input on my sites redesign and business plan for a new site I'm working on. My income also shot up back to what I was used to earning with Tribal Fusion in their glory days (late 2004-early 2005) and then some - so I'm very happy

Very interesting and this is really the key to long term stability in internet marketing is legit conent sites built for the long term. I think many of the super affiliates know this and have been doing it for sometime but they aren't really sharing that with us. I feel there is still so much opportunity to capture some niches and make great money in the future once you get high in the serp's.
90% of my efforts are for the long term with contents sites. I feel that they will act much like real estate does in the offline world and produce a semi-passive income in the future. Please tell us more about Gorilla Nation and other monetizing efforts you are using. I haven't heard of them? What are they doing for you? I'm specializing in travel and niche mortgages. My ultimate goals with these is to be a direct affiliate with strategic companies where I control 100% of the lead capture and delivery, thus making sure I am in 100% control of my income. Plus I think adsense will play the biggest role for me and act like a renter would in my home and bring me in passive income with some low maintanace. I would love to hear more about this and your experiences and I'm sure it would help Noob's to understand that this is what they should put more focus on then selling e-books or ringtones. Quote:

I have one that I've put quite a bit of work and time into. I've written over 50 articles for it, some into a couple thousand words. Very nice content. I get the most traffic to it from all of my sites. I've paid for backlins, I'm linked to. I rank #3 in Google for it, right behind the manufacturers of the product. And guess what? It produces no money. Any advertising I put up always has a minimum of 2% or more click through, but no one buys.

Who here actually runs long term content websites?
