Every blog has two types of visitors : returning readers and first time visitors. Returning readers already know what to expect on your blog and come to your site for its content and for what you write. First time visitors, (mostly search engine visitors), come because they are looking for something particular, look at the page, and leave.
The returning visitors should be treated as premium members because they spread word about your blog and link to you. Anyways they are least likely to click on your advertisements. So no point in showing a lot of adsense advertisements to them and put them off. I shall rather show them CPA advertisements to them as they trust my blog.
Whereas one time visitors are most likely to click on the adsense advertisement as they are looking for something. If I have to monetize my blog with adsense then I shall show the adsense advertisements to these one time visitors. However the compexity of the code required to determine if the visitor is a regular user or onetime user deterred me from using this strategy.
However now you can control the display of the advertisements using who sees ad plugin for wordpress
While inserting the adsense code you just mention what type of user can see the ad. The plugin takes care of everything else.

If you are a student and you have a blog, then you may consider applying for a $10,000 scholarship at College Scholarships.
You need to submit a 300 word essay answering the following questions
* If you nominated a friend, what makes them and their blog so special?
* What is the most interesting or inspiring blog post you have ever read? Why did you find it inspiring?
* How have you used blogging to help yourself or others?
* What is the most powerful social change you have seen come out of blogging?
* Why did you start blogging? What does blogging mean to you? Why is blogging important to you?
This looks like a really good opportunity for student bloggers.
