Update

Since I fist started this the blogging side has exploded. Tumblr is a big earner for most and all are welcome to join it.

Evidence of past couple of days:

Grouped Earnings
Takings

As long as you post a picture with it hyperlinked on tumblr you'll be fine earning big. As well as it being something everyone is looking towards, a trending topic.
It also highly depends on the country that the people clicking comes from. Any low economy countries give a smaller earning, any bigger economy countries like US, Germany, UK etc. etc. give out the bigger pay off.

So as you're aware there are currently millions of advertising link sites where you post your links and they place and ad on and pay you. As of the current time adf.ly is one of the most popular.

Now a key to getting adf.ly or other sites to pay out in big quantities you'll need a few techniques and tips.

Blogging:

This is one of the main the key sources of income through the advertising links. If you can build up yourself a fanbase from posting/reposting popular topics you can then abuse that right by posting your advertisement link with the posts to a site that relates to the pic posted. Or you could bullshit your way through it which a majority of people do, where they lead you to a questionnaire site which never actually allows you into the site.

Youtube:

As expected this is one of the main ways to grab clicks and unique clicks. A majority of people get most of these unique clicks through posting something like "check this hack" "hack tutorial" "HabboHotel free gold" so on so on. You get the general idea. Then they post the advertisement link to a faulty site, poor download, virus etc. Now this is a good way but then you have to advertise the video out. It would take a while to do so but it's worth the effort. I personally do this on some of my videos.

Social networking:

Now this is an an issue with some social sites they frown on you advertising on them to your friends. Although you can mask them with link shorteners such as bit.ly. So this can be done by the popular way nowadays of Facebook Pages or Twitter two of the biggest to use. There are others but you'll have to research them for yourself. Anywhere you can get a fan base is anywhere you can get an earning.

One main thing you want to try do is get American, United Kingdom and a majority of Europe countries to select your links. As these are the biggest payouts.

Here's a show of my earnings so far:
