Well while reading this I very much understand that your first instance would be that why do not I use AdSense on my blog, but let me clear this up, I am totally against ads at least on my website, its for sharing knowledge and I would not be using it to monetize, though you can always buy me a beer here, but seriously this is just a test phase of a new type ad format.

Okay to begin with, ZAPUNITED is a nice looking advertising network they basically have just appealing images and are sure to generate a nice CTR if placed at the right place, like below the article or nicely in the sidebar. they are a PPC network and would pay up 0.1 to 0.2 Euros/Click (peanuts compared to adsense but they are altogether a different story....)

Have a look here at their sample widget: Just Scroll Down To Comments :P

I will be running the test for 1month to check out what they got and then decide what needs to be done with them, since I got a nice amount of traffic, lets see what do we get to.

Cheers!
