    Once you have traffic, I would tryout google adwords, as i find they pay the highest cpc.

    I don't see how link submission and blog posting could hurt you, unless you have some insanely low bandwidth limit and too much traffic. :)

    Traffic is the best way to get some revenue...

    When you get that traffic, you will also get enough clicks on ur adsense.
    And then, you can supllement by using CPm networks like tribalfusion etc

    Hey thanks for all these valuable advice, i really appreciate it, i tried out 5$ stumble today from the stumble upon website, i immediately got 100 hits within 5 minutes, not even a single click, i feel that the traffic is not at all real, i check google analytics and found most hit's time on site was 00:00 doesnt it mean its fake ?

    Don't buy fake traffic.. unless it is for genuine advertisement/promotion.. That is you feel that those visitors will become loyal..

    You do that once you have a good amount of content and you keep adding fresh content..

    otherwise you site looks good...

    its not fake traffic, people just went by your site so fast, because they were probably repeatedly clicking the stumble button
