Keep ads as close to the content as possible and blend them
Try to get into the head of your reader. Let's say someone is looking through Google for a solution to some problem and hit your page. That user will scan the article looking for keywords and if it is interesting will continue to read through the rest of the text. You need your advertising close to get an eyeball close enough to see the ad even.
3. Find content specific advertising
Go off to Tiger Direct or Think Geek and join their affiliate program and then in your pages offer specific items that your viewers will be interested in. One of the best ways to offer these products is through text hyperlinks within your content.
4. Offer articles with solutions
Stories of problems and the fixes that tech news blog you offered as a solution are a great topic for you to use as content and in my tech blog I have done this as well in the past. As well as being a very satisfying way of sharing your knowledge it also offers you the opportunity to show a solution using a product that you are an affiliate for.
