Hi
Now I am working on a new blog. For now i have around 10 posts. The blog it is not yet optimized and i haven't started to do back links, seo.... When i have 20 publications in it, i will start to promote it. Is it right to integrate adsense with the start of the blog or to wait to havesome number of visitors (for example 100)?

I would start putting them on now. If you're blog has advertising right from the beginning, it will make sure that no followers are "surprised or upset" by the sudden change to monetize.
Adsense is especially good to start as soon as the blog is up. Since it is primarily a PPC (Pay Per Click), it doesn't matter if there are 10 visitors or 1000 because all it takes is a click to turn profit.
You also may want to look into BuySellAds. They take a 25% commission, but it's a lot easier to sell ads a result.

Sure thing Dimityr! If you don't mind, could you put up a link to your blog? I'd like to see what you have done so far.

Love the blog..some nice recipes.
However i would just like to point out before putting up the ad's check with blogspot if they allow ad's on free blogs. SOme host will not allow it and it will be against the TOS policy.
Also, i would suggest getting a domain name and forwarding it to your blog that way it looks a bit professional and gives a nice touch.

Put them only if your blog is popular. Otherwise it is not worth it and it is harder to get popular. That is just my humble opinion.

You are right, Blogger.com does allow the user to have ad's on the blog. Quite a different policy from wordpress.com where i host my blog temporarily.
Good luck with your endeavor.
Cheers

Well, seeing that it is Google adsense and Google own blogger.com, it's probably something of a foregone conclusion

My quick answer - NO. To make $1 on Adsense, you need at around 667 daily pageviews from search engines.
Here is a simple math.
A good CTR average is 3%, or 3 clicks for every 100 pageviews. A good average amount of CPC is $0.05. This means that you may earn $0.15 for those 3 clicks. Now, to get a daily $1, you will need at least 20 clicks which you can get only if you have more or less 667 daily pageviews.
My blog on my signature is only 3 weeks old, with 13 posts. If you will check it out, I am not yet monetizing it with any kind. Coincidentally, I discussed my reason for not doing so on my latest blog post. However, I did not only cover Adsense there, but also other money making strategies.
But if you want to learn more about the pros and cons of putting ads on a new blog, here is a good guest post of Daniel Scocco of Daily Blog Tips to Darren Rowse' Problogger - http://www.problogger.net/archives/2...ng-on-my-blog/
Hope that helps.

If your goal is to make money through your blog(s)... I think it would be better to put Ads right now or from the very start.  Why? Because even if you're blog is not yet popular and or even it has not gain any rank in SERPs... still, it will have few visitors because of your forum signature. (unless you don't have your signature yet...)

As I have mentioned above, one will need around 667 pageviews and 3% CTR (3 ad clicks per 100 pageviews) to make $1. If you don't have any search engine traffic yet, Google will think that your ad clickers are your social friends.
Then, it will assume that you just invited them to click your ads. For the record, it is the visitors from search engines that are looking to buy. Visitors from social sites loves to read but hates Adsense, as they even consider them as distraction especially if they are above the post.
I can also assume that you don't click the Adsense of the blogs you visit, do you? If you are, it is only by chance or a reward to them. The big G is very smart and very suspicious. This is why a lot of Google Adsense accounts has been deleted even if they don't click their own ads.
Remember: Visitors will only click ads if they need them. And if one needs something, he will Google it and not visit his friend's blog.
Here is a post that explains more about it.

Always start advertising early in the life cycle of a blog. That way readers are used to it as the site grows. Just make sure you advertise tastefully.

why wait.. obviously it won't cost you any penny at all that's of course if you're using Blogger.com... and in addition, it will make you feel excited every after when you posted new article/info in your site, from time to time you will check your adsense 'cause you want to see results...

Yeah, right, you don't have to pay out of pocket if your ads don't get clicked on, do you?
If that's the case, then it makes more sense to set it up earlier than later. Sure, some people don't like ads, but if you embed them tastefully, I'm sure most will understand that cyberspace these days is real estate.

You could start putting the ads now as long as you are getting traffic.
