I mentioned the introduction of Tradedoubler's new contextual ads a few weeks ago. At the time I didn't realise that they had catered for Google Adsense publishers, so I mentioned that you wouldn't be able to use Admatch alongside Adsense.
On further investigation it transpires that you can run the two simultaneously if you turn of the contextual code.
Simply login to Tradedoubler's control panel and go to create an ad using Admatch. There's an "advanced settings" section that you can select. Once in there turn off "automatic keywords" and set your own keywords.
It's not dissimilar to Chitika's non-contextual option

One of the reasons why Wordpress has become so popular as a blogging solution is that it can be easily extended and customised through the addition of plugins.
While many of the plugins may add functionality or tweak an aesthetic aspect of your blog, there are others that can make monetizing it that bit easier.
Rather than try to rehash the subject have a look at Lorelle's excellent post on the subject. (via)
Since Google changed their rules about contextual ad placement you can now run Chitika in contextual mode.
You don't need to change your code much - simply change the following line:
ch_non_contextual = 1;
to
ch_non_contextual = 0;
You should start seeing contextual ads appearing on your site within a few minutes.
For example, on GeekToys.eu I used to run non-contextual ads by choosing one of the available product channels.
Since switching over the ads served have been directly related to the content and the earnings have increased.
They've also introduced a "cloud" system, which could be interesting, though I haven't had a chance to test it yet.
EDIT: I had forgotten to actually change the code above - nicely spotted!
