		<description>You made your point, Melvin!

Actually, Monetizing a site/blog shouldn&#039;t be a priority for those who are starting their sites. You&#039;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&#039;t expect to get lots of money from them&lt;/strong&gt;. You certainly won&#039;t get any.

&lt;blockquote&gt;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)&lt;/blockquote&gt;
WTF?! Lol :P</description>

		<description>@james, yeah you got it. actually putting an adsense block on a blog that doesn&#039;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&#039;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&#039;re already monetizing your blog.. you&#039;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&#039;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&#039;t annoy the user too much. If you have unobtrusive ads thats not a problem.</description>
