Some websites will be best running Adsense. Seriously. I know a guy who, at its peak, was running a website making 5 figures a month off Adsense.
Many websites will work well with affiliate marketing - find a product that your audience wants that has an affiliate program (where you're paid commission for either selling it or generating leads) and recommend that to your audience.
Others are obvious fits for a designed product, or an email list, or upsell to consultancy, or - the list goes on.
There's no one-size-fits-all solution, I'm afraid.
It also depends on the person running the website. Do you like doing A/B tests and have a gift for selling? Affiliate marketing may be the way forward. Are you a fantastic writer? Ebooks, my friend, ebooks. Do you love interacting with your community, have a skill for building huge traffic, but hate selling? Adsense.
After hearing lot of suggestions and googling, i found that i will use Adsense as default way for generating revenue with upgrade plan which can filter ads and provide other fancy extra things.
Thanks for your help
In the fastmoving world where everything is going better, it is hard to believe that ads are still surviving and sitting comfortably; where all entrepreneurs cleverness goes , why don't they solve this problem.
Did you consider having a paywall for a portion of your content?
Payway is good but it will limit the audience which I really don't want.
Something i think i should run donation campaign then deep inside i accept that i am not Wikipedia.
