Putting advertisements in your website is one of the most common blog monetization techniques. Advertisements that are relevant to site content prompt the reader to take action in order to find out more about what you are promoting. Each click through blog advertisement brings revenue. At times, just a visit to the page where the ad is placed gives revenue.
Getting Maximum Returns through Advertisements
Every site owner wants to get the maximum returns from blog ads. How is this possible? What determines the revenue…… ad popularity or site traffic. If you want to earn serious blog money through your ads, you must not just put popular ads, you also need to have the kind of traffic that it takes to generate the money you expect from your website.
Now the question is timing. When should you really put ads on your blog? Do you put ads right from the beginning or do you put ads when you get a certain level of traffic. Just how much of traffic must you gain before you begin to put your ads? This is something that every site owner or blogger must consider because the level of traffic determines the possibilities of people clicking at the ads posted in the website.
Timing of Ad Placement
Let’s first take a look at what happens when you put ads in your blog or website, right from the beginning. If you choose to put ads just as you launch your website, you would be getting hardly any earning through the ads. Maybe a dollar a day and this can be an amount at the end of the year.
However, if you put in the blog ads at a later time, when your blog is receiving significant traffic and even comments from visitors, your ads will be clicked more often and this means higher revenue. It’s basically the kind of strategy that you seek to adopt. There are ads that you can put that earn you money, even if a visitor does not click them. This means just site traffic will gain you money from them.
The ideal situation would be to put in ads when your site traffic is growing. Put something small, at first, then wait to see the kind of money that you make from it and as your site traffic enhances, you can put in some more. People visiting your site will get used to the ads and when they find it relevant to what they are looking, they are most likely to click it. Compelling content is the key to get the right level of traffic and this in turn reflects on the kind of blog money that you can gain from your ads.

Hello mate
Usually, if you leave comments on others blogs that are related or relevant to yours, you stand a higher chance of driving more traffic to your website. So I add you on my site. Thank for nice information you gave
It’s very important to time your advertising just right.
Too soon and readers will thing you’re just blogging for money but too late and you’ll miss out on a ton of opportunities.
Like you said, you should ramp up your advertising as your traffic grows.
On one of my blogs, I made the mistake of placing ads too early. They didn’t get clicked.
I took them off and a few months later, when the traffic was really coming in, I placed them back in and started generating some great revenue.
Just do it when it feels right, not because you want to monetize it too soon. Get your readers, then get your money.
