What you've described is precisely what I do, though I also choose to have only static jpg and png graphics. Keeping ads very relevant is also of importance for me: office furniture ads against office design projects and articles. Selling your own ads takes work for sure, and a different type of work. Instead of technical know how, you need to put in time and energy selling ads and not just sit around waiting for sales to come to you. You also obviously get to keep 100% of the money from the sale which is nice.
