I Put More Ads Up
By stephanie - Friday, June 29th, 2007
They aren’t too intrusive, but I put another set of Google ads along the left and some referral boxes on the lower right. The sad thing is, even though this site seems to get some decent traffic, I am lucky to make $3/month off of it. Woo hoo! I’m rich!

Hi Stephanie,
The ad thing can be tricky to sort out. I don’t have ads on my blog so I don’t have to worry about it, but I enjoyed skimming through J.D. Frazer’s book “Money For Content and Your Clicks For Free : Turning Web Sites, Blogs, and Podcasts Into Cashâ€.
You might also want to have a look at Darren Rowse’s site – ProBlogger – for some tips on what sort of ads etc. connect with different users of the site. If, like me, you read the site mostly through a news reader then I never see the sidebar ads. On the other hand affiliate links in posts (especially the reviews you do) might work better. Rowse’s article the other day on Amazon links was an interesting read.
