Advertising for new blog | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

My approach to this, as a new blogger has flip flopped but basically come to this:

I have adsense running on main page side bar, and as a footer within a post, I also have 1 affiliate link on main page side bar.

My goal will be to migrate fully to affiliate links, but in order to obtain the most attractive ones I need pageviews/uniques increased.  Therefore I will leave adsense running for now, maybe making $40 per month and also keeping the look of the blog consistent, then once I hit higher readership levels will use the same ad location and swap out adsense for an affiliate, ideally using a rotating category box to keep things fresh and expose the reader on the first page to a variety of options.
