A rule of thumb that I learned from the great Ken Evoy, is to wait until your traffic is to at least 20 visitors a day and you have 30+ pages of content before montezing.

OOOOh Wendy…a new blog??????

Wendy – this is so interesting. I have dabbled in affiliate marketing over the past year, but I really haven’t learned enough to make it pay off yet. I have earned some money using a handful of affiliate products, but I know I am leaving so much money on the table.

Learning more about affiliate marketing is one of my near term goals.

Amanda, I think with blogs it’s a bit different. I’m about to launch a more commercial product-oriented blog, with the offers in the actual posts. You’re right that adding lots advertising around the site can be too much. But it also depends on the value you add along with it.

Personally, I don’t want to build something to a large audience and then spring a bunch of ads on them. I’d rather build the site with the advertising in place as much as possible. That way people don’t get thrown off when a major change happens.

I will try this again. If it gets double commented sorry!

I signed up with commission junction but I am always hesistant I feel that my viewer base isn’t strong enough to throw more ads in their face. The site already has ads by kontera, and burstmedia and i’m happy with that so far but its about creating the loyal reader base first before adding more sites.

I mean is there a way to know when it is time for this?

That is true and you have to be careful about your ads my ads are making my site lag a bit but its better. I’m always hesitant for affiliate marketing I’ve signed up with comission junction but I feel that my sites viewer base isn’t strong enough I bet a lot of people have that feeling.
