Authority site - too much monetization?
I'm new to IM, but have made a decision to create an authority site within a particular niche that I am very passionate about. My question was about monetization strategies for your site. Ideally, I want to utilize the traffic on my site to build a list for a longer term monetization strategy. However, I was also looking at things such as having affiliate products and maybe ads on my pages - even having a "store" sub-section on my site all relevant to my niche.
So, question is - does having multiple means of making money on your site look too spammy? Also, would it make it harder to rank in search engines on Google if the site starts looking too commercial in nature? Lastly, how many monetization strategies do you employ on your sites?
Thanks
