The ad networks scan the article, then find relevant ad according to the written content and display those ads beside the articles. This makes the article content and process much more understandable to the reader. Google Adsense pays on per click basis.
Direct Advertising:

Clickbank.com is a great site for affiliate product selling. It provides the details of product you want to sell. Be sure to have the one with great goodwill and good payout. It can give you up to 80% commission, but it is the case with some products, not all.
