Here at Avenue Web Media we have chosen Drupal as our development platform of choice after comparing it to just about every other platform and CMS available.

Drupal is an Open Source Content Management System (CMS), designed for power and flexibility. Considered by many as the most important platform for the PHP programming language, Drupal has a large fan-base of professional developers that use the software for all sorts of commercial projects, and often contribute to extend Drupal with their own work.

Contextual ads, such as the ones served by Google's Adsense, can produce a few extra bucks per month, or even cover a couple of bills if your site has a lot of traffic. However, if your website business model is based on offering your company's products and services, then you are probably better off without contextual ads.
