   There are many of them. The most common is Google Adsense. However I think it's important to be reality based and to have realistic expectations. If your site is not currently drawing 1,000 - 1,500 hits per day every day you will not make any more that pocket change from advertising. Very few bloggers have the degree of expertise required to produce original content that brings in the massive number of hits on advertisements that are required to make a living from blogging. Also, the economic realities we now face mean that making an income from blogging is becoming increasingly more difficult.
   
   You will never make a significant income from blogging if you lack expertise in a specific niche and you do NOT know how to:
   * be a skillful blogger;
   * create an archive full of high quality original content;
   * structure a search engine optimized blog;
   * promote your blog via social networks and other means;
   * establish and maintain a faithful and growing readership (organic traffic).

   Also the nature of the blog, the niche it’s in, and the quality of the contents are all factors that go into selecting the combination of advertising and affiliate plans that may be workable for any given blog.
