As I review and/or endorse various products and services for monetizing your website, they will be listed here.  "Virtual real estate" is a central business interest of mine, so I keep up on what's new and what's hot.  New products and services are jumping up like daisies!  I won't tell you about every last one of them – just the ones I know are valuable.

AdSense Secrets by Joel Comm is one of the books that started it all, and is still regarded by many as "the bible" when it comes to making money with AdSense.  And of course his suggestions apply equally to YPN and MSN ads, as well – or to any of the smaller text based ad networks you can join.  Joel gives you all kinds of tips and tricks, and you also get an ongoing newsletter after your purchase.  This is a "must have" for all contextual advertising publishers.

Adsense Videos from adsense mega-earner Michael Cheney is a great video class on nearly every aspect of how to maximize your income in any contextual advertising program. Michael starts with the basics, but also discusses some advanced techniques you may not know about. One good trick learned from these videos could boost your income enough to cover what you paid for them in only a month or two. By the way, Michael does not advocate machine-generated sites. His are real unique content sites.

Blogs are a great way of increasing the traffic to your main website, or maintaining a simple, standalone website that can be monetized with affiliate links, contextual advertising, and banners. This service not only gives you ten blogs and the simplest blogging platform I've ever seen, they also build and monetize a website on the topic of your choice for you each month. In addition, they will also promote the URLs of your choosing on their large site network, helping you get even more traffic.

Keyword research is vital for any website, but particularly valuable if you are monetizing your website with advertising. Remember, your search engine positioning and the free traffic and link exchanges it brings you all revolve around the keywords and keyword phrases that you optimize for. This tool is worth its weight in gold, and hands down the best keyword research tool on the market, in my opinion.

Monetizing your website with adsense or affiliate marketing requires a constant supply of fresh, unique content. Now you can have keyword research, fresh monthly private label articles, a site-builder that boasts very high contextual advertising click-through rates, a members forum, and access to free, expert coaching, all in one monthly package.

Private Label Content is the simple way to keep your website growing, but one of the problems with it is how widely it can get used. This site strictly limits access to their PLR articles, and gives you website headers and a semi-automated blog installer so you can start a site from scratch or add a blog to an existing site with minimal effort. They also have a feature through which you can buy totally original and unique articles written by their top-notch staff of writers, and then passed through their editors as well as a double-check for duplicate content, for as little as $6 per article. In my opinion, this site is among the best bargains on the net.

Put your website on autopilot with this killer new software package that automates just about every aspect of maintaining your site. You can set up pre-formatted article, blog, and RSS posts, generate site maps, and a lot more. This tool knocks the socks off anything on the market! 

Research, Market, Publish is the motto of this membership site that not only teaches you how to do keyword and market research, but also provides you the tools to create authority sites that can be updated manually, or put completely on autopilot, bringing you revenue month after month, with only occasional intervention on your part. They even offer to build you one site per month as part of your monthly membership fee. I am a member myself, and love it!

Track and analyze your contextual advertising statistics with this invaluable tool from an AdSense super performer. You can get your daily statistics sorted by website URL, referrer, keyword phrase the visitor searched for, and lots, lots, more. One use I discovered after installing the software was that by analyzing the search terms my site visitors are using, I could then develop even more keyword targeted pages. Instead of logging into my stats for each website individually, I now have them all in one place, so I can see at a glance which search terms are used most often, and which of my pages are getting the most traffic.
