This was very helpful. I’m hoping that I can grow my blog enough so that I can offer advertising. It would be a nice addition to my site.

Great article. Thanks for posting link on Twitter. I’ve heard both sides of the coin that advertising on blogs does and doesn’t make money for the blogger and advertiser. Recently I’ve heard it does (Dooce.com featured on Oprah- makes 40k/ mo. ). As a result I’ve poured more ad spots into my site. I think I might have gone overkill. Requesting feedback on twitter @renewbie . Thanks in advance !

If your blog covers a niche topic such as online advertising, seo or search marketing or even weddings you are more likely to have an ‘engaged’ reader. An engaged audience is more likely to spend time on your website and be aware of your advertising. Your audience wants information.

If you are using a ‘packaged’ blog such as Blogger or Wordpress there is likely a download that will enable you to place advertising on your website. Its important that the advertising widget for blogs will allow for several ads to ‘rotate’ so you don’t serve the same ad constantly. For maximun revenue you want the ability to serve multiple ads, even if it’s just affiliate ads and google ad sense.

You make great points.

I am already doing similar on my Yorba Linda blog.

I am using RSS Footer plugin which I can then insert Text ads into the footer of every post and I also have it setup to rotate diferent businesses.

I am also implementing the Sponsor monthly Thank you post and then I also offer sponsors to provide content for posts (max 1 per month) that allow them to advertise upcoming specials or events they are holding.

@#3 – A monthly sponsor thank you post.

I am not really sure about this. I subscribe to a lot of blogs, and the ones that have thank you posts usually get scrolled over. I can’t even tell you what some of the companies are that have been featured in these. If it is a free placement, then sure, go for it. But I would be weary of actually paying to be placed in a sponsor post.
