Personally? I don't.

If you get high traffic, then selling advert space can be worthwhile - it's what keeps this place running, after all - but for a low traffic site, the amount you are likely to earn is so small that you have to think very carefully about the "screen real estate" the ads are going to take up compared with the content of your site. And what are the ads going to be for? How relevant are they to your site content? Do you have any control over content? Because if they are irrelevant then a lot of people (myself included) will enable AdBlockPlus and never see them anyway. Which means you lost X square cm of screen space for no income whatsoever.

And too much advertising can hide your content pretty well - if only because people will visit once, see it's covered in cr@p and never come back.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
