I guess I should read up on my TOSes Thanks for updating me!

In my limited experimentation, I’ve found contextual delivery/presentation is the only one that attracts clickthrus. But the majority of my blog traffic comes from context-specific search engine inquiries, so it follows that such ads would be most successful.

Actually, AuctionAds won’t really be completely contextual. If you look at it, you’re just manually feeding the keywords via PHP.

Actually, that is not true. Google changed their TOS: http://www.problogger.net/arch.....y/adsense/

Naturally, doing this means you’ll have to choose between AuctionAds and AdSense, as I believe Google’s TOS still prohibits competing contextual ads from sharing pages with its placements.
