    Is that less than 100 unique visitors per day or per month? If it's per month, then I recommend focusing on getting more traffic to your blog first. Either way, make sure you provide value to your readers in your blog posts. As for finding affiliate programs, you can search through the networks like clickbank.com, jvzoo.com and warriorplus.com. You can also use offervault.com to find a ton of products to promote in various networks. Hope this helps!

        Yes, you can definitely have ClickBank promotions and AdSense on the same pages, as long as the site is otherwise AdSense-compliant.

        As a ClickBank affiliate, it's not something I'd do myself, as I want my own sites to come across to my visitors as "authority sites" rather than primarily "advertising", I don't want to look like "mostly a marketer", and I don't want AdSense on my pages because my primary purpose is to collect the opt-in and build my lists, so I don't want to give my traffic additional ways to leave my site (which don't pay me a lot) rather than staying there. But that's purely a personal approach, and there are plenty of people who do combine AdSense and ClickBank.

        But under no circumstances would I promote ClickBank products on Blogger sites, for all the reasons explained in the threads linked to above.

          The main point she is making is that it is better to use wordpress blogs, so that if you host them on your own domain you own them. And there are many plugins and themese which can give you flexibility with a wordpress blog.

          What if you have 100 daily hits to your blogger blog, and google takes it away (as they own it) - you will be left with nothing.

          All the more reason to switch to wordpress.

          Hi Alexa!

          So, you don't do Adsense at all?

            Sorry, have only just seen your post from 4 days ago this very minute!

            No, I don't use AdSense at all. I'm not knocking it, and I know some people do ok out of it, but it doesn't combine with anything I do.

            I'd truly hate any of the visitors to any of my sites to see AdSense on them - given my traffic demographics, it would totally blow the site's credibility and hugely reduce my opt-ins - and on sites intended primarily for list-building.

            Rightly or wrongly, I haven't split-tested it myself, and won't: I've seen enough "other people's results" and had enough general chat/feedback from my subscribers not even to be willing to test it, with my traffic. I know that I make extra affiliate sales through not having it, because enough of my customers whom I've got to know have told me, and pretty openly, that "no AdSense" was a reason for their not running away from my site as they do from so many others.

    You should take a look at your visitor demographics first to see what type of ads they are interested in. You will only make money if your ads are targeted, and a website with irrelevant ads is as useless as a horse with no legs.

    Matt makes a good point. I've had free blogs and web 2.0 properties yanked out from under me before with no warning - and even after fighting it, was NOT able to get them back. A few were ranking for high traffic terms too.

    Not cool.

    I don't suggest building your business on such an unsteady foundation.

      I would agree. I appealed to have my blogger blog reinstated, but it didn't get reinstated even though the content was fully original and monetized with an accepted affiliate program.

      It seems that Google doesn't even bother looking at blogs during the appeals process and they just have someone clicking a button. If that isn't the case then I really don't know what they're doing.

    adil, I would definitely get a wordpress site up and running on your own hosting. Don't kill the blogger site. Instead use it to continue to post good content and provide links back to your main site you set up.

    As far as running a wordpress site, not difficult at all. There is a ton of information available for no cost on how to set this up and manage.

    The best way to learn about WP is to continuously use it. Also, check back here for threads about WP.
