Right now, I am leaning heavily towards the latter option. I'll take any suggestions that you may wish to put forward

I think you should concentrate your effort on speeding up your AdSense earning, instead of trying out the alternatives. Usually click through rates are almost the same with the alternative while we all know that AdSense offers rather high cost per 1000 impressions. If it took you that long to make $50, something is definitely not right. Try gaining more traffic, more link, get some cheap form of advertising at other blogs, get listed on blog directories, guest blog at other popular sites, do SEO, concentrate on certain relevant anchor link text for your blog, experiment with placing of AdSense ads, etc. If you do all this right, you will be praising AdSense every month instead of looking for an alternative. Maybe then you will even earn $30-$40 a month with AdSense or even more, who knows?
