So like your gut is telling you, fall back on things like Kontera and Adsense when you want it to run on auto pilot or you just need a boost (delayed by 30 days remember) in income. But in truth, working on your product, your lead generation and your funnel (with a dash of copywriting education) has been the point that I've come to.

Just my two pence.
Yup, I was referring to your Kontera article. I am a big fan of multiple monetization strategies (at least right now)... but none of them can jeopardize my primary focus of listbuilding and product creation/affiliate promotion.

Since I focus on building content-heavy niche sites, I get enough repeat traffic (i.e. newsletter informing subscribers of website updates) that having on-site monetization is a benefit. I've gone back and forth with Adsense... if they ever offer the ability to open in a new window, I'll probably include it on all my sites (it's still on several, but not prominently).
