Google Adsense - Embedding AdSense is a simple way to attempt to make money but if you're not getting tens of thousands of page views, I am not sure if it's worth it. Google adsense does provide an interface which allows the customization of ads, however if implemented incorrectly it's an excellent way to lose visitors.
Some bloggers have been successful with it, but not me.

Affiliate Sites - I tried adding links to both Text Link Brokers and Review Me through their affiliate program and even after a few hundred referrals were sent to both sites, I didn't see a penny in return. If anyone has had success as an affiliate, I would love to hear about the programs they had success with.

Feedvertising - FeedBurner offers an easy way to monetize your feed by embedding graphical ads within the RSS Feed. I ran a few ads for Verizon Mobile phones for approximately 3 months and in return made 22 cents.
