SEO Roundtable has a nice summary of a session at SES Chicago with Jeremy Schomaker and Jennifer Slegg (notice they both have JS initials – could be something in that!) on the topic of Earning Money From Contextual Ads.
There’s not much in it that experienced contextual advertising publishers won’t already know but it’s a good recap of some sound principles of contextual advertising for beginners.
My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from this new and dynamic medium from blogs like Digital Photography School and TwiTip - Twitter Tips.
Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

JS are the best initials to have IMHO!

It mentions monetizing error pages, but I thought you’re not allowed to use ads on error pages. Or is that incorrect?

I think it depends on the type of error pages… but I do think you are right.

@LearningNerd & The Geek: Actually you are allowed to have ads on error pages, as long as you have some type of content along with the error message.
If you use Wordpress, just edit the 404.php with a paragraph or two of content (summary of your site with keywords works well) and place your ad along with the Google search your site feature.

I love to go back to read the basics, there is always one or two things I forget about as I learn more.
