The Advertisement module for Drupal is pretty darn powerful and is quite adequate for serving ads on the site on which it's running. That is, you can configure the module, add in a bunch of ad nodes, configure a block to select ads from given ad groups, and they show up on the page. This module also supports "remote ads". This is a bad name for the functionality but "remote ads" generates a bit of javascript which can be embedded into other websites to display advertisements hosted by the Advertisement module. I've been using the Advertisement module to host ads within the Drupal instance on which the ad's are running, however I am partway through converting to using the remote ads feature and am liking the result so far.

You want to put advertising on your web site, and one easy simple way is to sign up for affiliate programs. In many cases affiliate programs offer some kind of banner advertisement you can display, and rather than paying out per pageview the affiliate programs of course pay if the user does something like click on an ad and then buy something. It's easy to become signed up with dozens of programs and if so it then becomes tricky to manage the advertisements.
