Congratulations, that’s hard to do in 6 mo.

How do you see only one ad?
I have four ads along the left side of my theme, and one ad in the middle of my content posts.

I have tried ad programs such as adbrite, but haven’t received any offers yet.

Keep reading, there's lots of ways to monetize your site. I know I'm just scratching the surface with mine. But it does take time.
I update mine regularly too. While I may not be able to think of something new to write every single day, it does sound like a good practice to get into.
