Perhaps the top 2 schemes for monetizing your website at the moment (from the perspective of a webmaster who is a publisher - a person who earns money from publishing schemes on their website) are:
AdSense for content automatically crawls the content of your pages and delivers ads (you can choose both text or image ads) that are relevant to your audience and your site content—ads so well-matched, in fact, that your readers will actually find them useful. - https://www.google.com/adsense/
Make more money by selling text based ads. Sell simple, relevant text ads on your website. Retain full editorial control over the advertisers that appear on your website. http://www.text-link-ads.com/
Adsense will serve contextually relevant adverts on your website depending on your websites content. For example, if your website is about web development (like this website), you will get web-based adverts (image or text) from advertisers performing through the Google Adwords scheme. Unfortunately, Adsense does not perform well on low traffic websites and all your earnings depend totally on your website traffic. A website can have high page rank but very little traffic - so Adsense would perform badly here because nobody would hardly click on an advertisement.
This is where you can use text link ads to your advantage. PageRank - Google’s algorithm for determining the importance of a web page has an influence of pricing for text link ads (along with traffic however). Text Link Ads will allow you to publish text links on your website from advertisers who are willing to pay to have the weight and traffic of your webpage to influence their own website. Depending on where you place each text link, how many text links and importace of the webpage all effect the price of a singly text link - priced per month.
To conclude, both schemes can be used together on the same webpage without the chance of ruining the terms and conditions of each scheme, so you can really monetize your web page to the best possibly monthly income.

I see so many sites that have various click ads, bidvertiser and commission junction to name a couple.
Are you saying that you cant combine various Ad revenue sources. I could understand not being able to combine the ones that have transparent windows that pop up over the words because they may compete with one another for the same word, I could be wrong though.
I’m just trying to get a better understanding over the various systems and there effects on one another in terms of TOS.
Typically, you can not combine revenue sources which give the same functionality as eachother.
For example; using Yahoo ads and Google adsense would breach TOS, because they both serve contextually targetted adverts. Adsense and Text Link Ads can work together because they are used for different purposes.
