Google's Adwords scheme can be very effective as its highly targeted (you buy keywords so your advert is only shown if someone searches for the word you buy) you can also target by country, but it only suits some sites, for example one shop I work with is an online homeopathic store, for this it is very good as not many people bid on the more obscure keywords (market forces determine the price) and the returns are quite good. Something like car parts would suit this as well.
On the other hand with things like hosting, ringtones, porn, domain names etc the bids can get very expensive.
Oh and if you do go down this path remember to double check that you have limited your budget, you don't have to pay up front and if you don't set a limit the bill can get VERY high.
BTW the ads are the little text based ones on the right when you do a search on google, not banner ads so this might be irrelevant to you!

Hi, I have used this, but its currently suspended. Not enough sales per click, and the clicks are expensive because its very competative.
