Hey guys and Gals

I started a blog recently and wanted to get some expert advice on when/if i should offer advertising?
I want to allow people to advertise and give the money to some sort of charity but a friend told me advertising can cause people to leave the blog or be annoyed...

any ideas/guidelines?

Thanks heaps!!
Pete

Why don’t you place a donate button in your website and describe about your charity, there are lot of people who love to donate for charity.

How many traffic you have now? And your traffic stable? If you got useful contents and layout the advertisements appropriately(for example, no popup ads, no unrelated ads and make sure your ads won't influence visitor's reading), there won't be any problem.

I dont think ads turn any readers off. There are ads on every content based site. No reader can expect you to release quality content and not get something for it.

You can start to advertise without even getting traffic. It doesnt change anything. But, you will need a few hundred hits a day in order to actually make any money from it, even just a few cents.

Check the ads on your site to see how relevant they are to the information on your site. Better targeted ads means more clicks, and more clicks mean more money.

Thanks guys!! very interesting points ideas and suggestions!!

I think it will start with a donation button and see if that generates anything.. once the traffic grows a bit i will try to find some sort of relevant ads...

Cheers

In order to make money from ads you have to have traffic.
There is no rules that says when to place an add to your site. It is your site ... mostly you do what you want with it and when you want.

Donation button doesn't work on all blog. It all depends upon the topic/cause of your blog.
I too used it but didn't get any success. Now I use ad-sense and found it much better than any other source of income for a newbie. When you start getting 100 visit per day then you can add it or even before. Make sure the placement of your ads should be in such a way that it do not annoy your visitor, like do not merge its color with those of content of blog. It should be clear that it is advertisement and people should click on it when they found it interesting, then it will be less annoying.

Cheers.

I think it could work. Make it very clear that you are going to donate all the money to charity.

hi,
if your motive is to generate money for charity and if you have a good traffic to your blog and if the organisation for which you want to generate the fund has a website, just put a link named donate and redirect it to the donation page of that organisation. this way the funds can generated for charity. Ads are a good medium to let people know about what you are offering but they are not that useful for generating funds for charity. instead of that give ads of social media portals that is much more usefull in this type of case...

**sandrah** · 04-18-2011, 04:03 PM

I think it is quite reasonable to allow placing some adverts when your blog has a good page rank and lots of traffic. Your sponsors should be sure that you get good quality products.

**andrejka** · 04-18-2011, 11:41 PM

A good thought with a donate button when speaking of charity...Concerning ads on your website, it's quite alright. Use Google Adsense or advertisers that match your website subject (topic) best. Just do not overdo with it and everything will be okay

**Shirlyn** · 04-22-2011, 10:30 AM

Hi, First create your blog reputation for any niche and after try to put ads strategy.

**cheesee** · 04-24-2011, 10:49 PM

You can places ads on your site as soon as it is released. Ads are a part of the internet, just make sure your site looks professional, and your pages are not over crowded with ads.

**justo0** · 04-25-2011, 11:44 PM

Your advertisement is best designs very much attractively, do not too trash be possible

**Jeanne02** · 04-27-2011, 10:24 AM

Thanks for the advices. I just received an email that my ads account has just verified. These info really helped.

**summerwilkins** · 05-03-2011, 12:57 PM

stability of traffic is very important before placing any advertisement on your site...
once you're able to sustain traffic,
then that would be a go signal for ads..

**~ServerPoint~** · 05-05-2011, 05:11 AM

It is always "in time". But be careful - unreasonable ad abuse may realy turn the visitors off from your blog.

**peteuniverse** · 05-16-2011, 07:09 AM

So i added one small AdSense placement on the top of my blog and Komoona (self serve) on the side bar - i am very curious to see how this panes out

Thanks y'all, again.

so many ads and banners always hurt the serious readers but be careful if your blog is new and have less traffic on it, small ad that must be one or two at start and then look at the response.
