Good luck with the banner sales. I still haven’t quite convinced myself to drop AdSense entirely, since it does bring in some good money, but I’ve set it up so it will only show up on posts older than 15 days.

Great post, I just reworked my whole blog to incorporate these ads and took off my adsense to give my site a little more credibility for advertisers, I’ve still got a lot of work to do but I feel more confident with this than Adsense.

@Raman I've sold most of my ads via email so far. There's a very low sale-to-email ratio, sadly. I probably send 10-15 emails for every ad I sell. Half of the ones I send never get replies, and the a few get a polite "no thanks" (I wish people would do that instead of just ignoring...), and I get an occasional sale. Lucky I only have to go through it all a couple times a month.

I had considered advertising my ad space on SitePoint, but hesitated at handing over $10 when I hadn't sold anything yet. Now, I may consider it sometime in the future, but I'm sticking with email for the time being.

I know someone who may find this suggestion useful though. Thanks for sharing your success story.
