There are many advertising networks out there. Which one is best? The short answer, is none of them. Each and every one of them has pros and cons, that you'll have to examine before you use them. I'm always looking for ways to increase profits, and exploring with different advertisers is a great way to do this.
As a new blogger, Entrecard is almost a must have. Entrecard does not use cash. It uses a credit system. You will not make penny, but you will increase your exposure. Entrecard credits allow you to advertise for free, and credits are earned for 'dropping' your virtual card onto other blogs. Many of the readers at That Politics Blog came from entrecard, and a large portion of the traffic over there is from that network.
The only advertising system that gives you points for posting and being active is Adgetize. Everything you do in the Adgetize network is scored into points, these points are then converted into cash at the end of each day. Like Entrecard, you are rewarded for visiting other blogs (though, these blogs pay for their spots) but instead of being rewarded in credits, you are rewarded with points (which again, turn into cash). You also get points for each page view, and each ad view.
Another network that I use is cmf ads. CMF is unique in the products that it sells. Rather than selling displays without guaranteeing clicks, CMF sells clicks, and they're rather cheep. It also allows you to sell your adspace directly to your readers, ad prices you dictate, and pays you to click on some of the other blogs advertisements.
A new one that I've just started using is AdHitz. I don't have much feedback yet, but it's pretty nice. I feel like all of my bases are covered with the previous three, and I don't want to crowd the network with ads as readers don't like being bombarded with advertisements, but I'm experimenting with it.
There are many more networks out there, but these ones are very beginner friendly. I wouldn't recommend using any of these in conjunction with Adsense, as google is rather picky.
