text: Dear Houyhnhnm,\n\nProbably the best place to start would be to visit most popular program that pay per impression. It is\n\nhttp://adsense.google.com\n\nThis way, you will get paid, for the number of people who see advertisement on your blog, even if nobody clicks on the hyperlink.\nIn my opinion, this could be better solution for you. I saw advertising houses, such as www.valueclick.com dropping their pay-per-click (PPC) programs and switching to a CPM (cost per thousand) or affiliate programs (you will get pay for the actions your visitors take on the advertiser websites, such as: buying products or subscribing to email newsletter). Some affiliate programs, however, do offer pay-per-click, but will automatically switch you to percentage option (you will be paid percentage of revenue your visitors generate) if your conversion rates are low. Affiliate advertisers in the Investing industry pay some of the most generous rates.\n\nThe other website you should consider is: www.blogads.com.\nTheir ads are combination of image and text, and offer some very competitive rates.\n\nHope this helps,\n\nEdvard
