AdBrite is a *tiny* fraction of AdSense revenue for me, and much more work.
But it is sufficiently different to be worth running the two in tandem for diversity...

Do you have Adbrite on the same pages as Adsense.
I'm just wondering, maybe you are losing Adsense clicks if someone clicks on an Adbrite ad?
On average do you get more per click with Adsense?
Has your overall ad income increased using both systems?
Yes I have AB and AS on the same page.
No, I don't think they interact with one another, eg stealing clicks from one another.

I've been over at AdBrite and browsed around for a few minutes on several occasions. Each time, I left thinking the ads seemed to be geared more towards "pop culture" (for lack of a better phrase)
Put another way - if I have a site about industrial widgets, I can count on AdSense providing ads from widget manufacturers, widget service companies, etc. From what I have seen at AdBrite, it doesn't appear if they are going to attract that type of "serious" (again, for lack of a better term) advertisers.
Am I wrong? If Yes, I welcome any examples.

Looks interesting and a good fit with Adsense.
Farmboy, I saw this ad system implemented on a website that had good industrial advertisers. The ad system was called Kontera, they provide in content links,
By "this ad system" do you mean AdBrite or Kontera?
Speaking of Kontera, don't they require several hundred thousand impressions per month just to sign-up?

AdBrite is *not* content targetted in the AS sense of examining the page and automatically deciding which are relevant ads to show.
AB runs the the same ads wherever you put the AB slot.
Advertisers may "target" their ads to your site, but that is not the same at all.

This is simmular to advertising with adwords while runiing adsense on your site.
I mainly use AB to advertise rather than earn revenue: at least 20:1 in terms of expenditure:income. And I am adversiting pages that support AS ads.

cheque is not printed on name.. :( very handy! NOT
Kontera does not place minimum requirements on traffic - just go and sign up.
What's this on the page listing publisher qualification at Kontera:
To qualify for ContentLink™ your website must:Generate more than 500,000 page impressions per month

Adbrite usually pays 10 cents per clicks
Adsense usually pays "many times more" (depending on the topic).
Adbrite targeting is poor (you will get bunch of casino ads); Adsense targeting is supreme.
Are you satisfied with the answer?
I don't think that the AB/AS difference is quite as stark as that!
But yes, my guess is that for most people that can run both (eg appropriate content, not banned by G, etc), AS will be much better in terms of revenue and effort.

My site earns roughly $60 a day from Google. I triead Adsense for about 6 months and my daily earnings never exceeded $3. It's a rip off, believe me.
Huh?
I thought Google and Adsense were one and the same. Adsense is a google invention.
There are no real advertisers that I am working with at adbrite, it's just those network ads which I myself do not find very interesting as far as the enticement to click on it is concerned. (clarification: I do not click on my own ads, It's just how I see different ads running on my site and the 'enticement factor' in it.)
The reason why I still am with adbrite is because I can't put adsense to appear on pages with search results e.t.c. (against their guidelines) so I am just filling up the ad inventory there. Average CPC at adbrite is less than 0.4 cents no matter what the keyword is.

I think the poster meant AdBrite instead of AdSense.
He makes $60/day with AdSense and $3/day with AdBrite.
