Super tips... the OP is offering something that we should all utilize and that is to not put all your eggs in one basket and spread your wings. Any long term successful business model has more that one revenue stream.
Do you think there is a balance required to keep your users loyal? I can think of many websites I have been on that are covered in revenue creating mechanisms like you have listed, with little quality content. It scared me away instantly, and I'm sure it will do the same to the majority of users that land on such a page.
