What monetization method has worked best for you?

[Nomad]

I have tried multiple methods, such as network ads, affiliate ads, selling digital products, selling ad space, selling merch, etc. Even with the network ads monetization method, I have used multiple ads. However, the best monetization method for me is adsense.

With the shift to different CPA models, Adsense is nowhere near what it once was.

Seems like you are going to generate (on average) a few hundred thousand visits a month just to clear $1000.
One of the major issues with folks that want to push ads on their site... they WAY overdue it trying to maximize their income... not realizing that in reality what they do is either
A) Run users off that don't want to see all the ads
B) Force users to use ad-blockers, which reduces your return

The other issue with Adsense is you don't have much control over the ads.

Depending on your niche... affiliate marketing can have higher returns.
