Can anyone recommend a good alternative to google adsense?
I have built up a reasonable amount of hits to my site, but not getting too many clicks based upon the number of visitors - which I am looking to improve on.

So would anyone recommend a good alternative to google adsense?

Creativity and Idea generation Apr 3, 11, 2:49 p.m.

I am compiling a list of creative and idea generation sources, something I have always found quite inspiring.

Since college I have been collecting books, magazine articles, quotes, and games on the open subject of creativity and idea generation and lateral thinking. Mainly for my own use, to refer to when I feel a bit creatively blocked.

I thought it would be interesting to share some of these links, and to ask others to contribute inspiring, creative, idea generation sources - whether it be music, creative exercises, books, quotes or websites.

Please do add your links, quotes, books, sites, music, games and anything else that could inspire.
