		<description>You made your point, Melvin!

Actually, Monetizing a site/blog shouldn't be a priority for those who are starting their sites. You'll end up dissapointed and having a wrong, negative conception about advertisement programs such as Adsense, chikita, AdBrite and others.

Yes, you &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; put those ads on your site but as Melvin said &lt;strong&gt;don't expect to get lots of money from them&lt;/strong&gt;. You certainly won't get any.

&#60;blockquote&#62;I think it’s like having sex. You don’t enjoy your partner if she’s just around 10-16 years old (tell me if you do)&#60;/blockquote&#62;
WTF?! Lol :P</description>

		<description>@james, yeah you got it. actually putting an adsense block on a blog that doesn't have traffic yet doesnt make sense.. at least thats what i think..</description>

		<description>Wow, you got my problem spot on here. I have just started my blog and I am considering to place some Adsense on it but I really don't think it will have any effect on my site as of yet. Hence I have left it ad-free for the moment. Interesting post, I will definitely be doing some more research on it!</description>

		<description>@nelle, thanks for your reminder
@ tom, your point is my opinion beofre.. Actually its true but I actually think that its hard to focus on acquiring traffic when you're already monetizing your blog.. you'll have your focus on traffic get robbed by monetization tactics.. just my opinion ;-)</description>

		<description>I think monetizing a blog early is a good idea. Look at John Chow, he has about 21 ads on his front page, but it really doesn't look like that. The ads blend in very perfectly. John Chow uses ads a &lt;em&gt;lot&lt;/em&gt; but it doesn't annoy the user too much. If you have unobtrusive ads thats not a problem.</description>
