How old is the blog? how much traffic is the blog getting? And how much content does the blog have?

Your earnings and monetization depends on all these factors. If you are still having a new blog, and want to monetize the blog already, its not a wise decision. let it grow and get good traffic from referrals and search engines.

Then start monetizing with proper ad blocks of adsense, the placement and size of ads makes a big impact on the earnings and click-throughs. Then if you want to try other monetizing options, for a health(cancer) related blog, try out the CJ affiliate network where you would get many affiliate offers and you can try them for more monetizing of the blog.
Generally for the blog of this niche, its hard to find direct advertisers so CJ and adsense are the only 2 best options.

Earning money from your site should be a by-product of it's success in attracting visitors. Stick good content on it regularly and get a following, and once the visitors start rolling in, there are plenty of ways you can earn from it

I think I have seen your site somewhere in a .edu site where someone was donating $$$ for your research. How was your exams?

Well, WMT is just one stop on the sig link dropping tour!

Yeah and that's not particularly welcome here. If you want a place where you can meaninglessly dump your spam, a place that doesn't give a rats about quality posting then I suggest you go elsewhere

It definitely depends on your following and traffic volume. Are you taking subscribers too? If you're building a list now, that opens up a whole new avenue...

Tell me about the traffic and viewership, that's the first thing you need to look at when thinking about monetizing.

Side note: I'd read Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk. It's a quick read, but he talks all about this kind of thing. And, with him as well the first and most important thing to do is pump out good consistent content.

You might want to Google the term "stop words" and see what the current list is.

The reason is because Google Adsense will not produce ad revenue for certain subjects like death, sex, porn, drugs, etc.

So if you want to monetize your blog, you may want to consider PayPal donations.

i think it is better to search clickbank for cancer related ebooks and start selling them on your blog .

It is better if you're goign to target your visitors by joining in health forums or link exchange in any medical websites/blogs.. Then if you know SEO then do it to have a good rankings in Google. BUT it is very time consuming.
