		<description>I couldn&#039;t agree more about not getting &quot;Too Greedy&quot;. Sure we all need and like to make a bit from our blogs, but if you burn the very people that come to your blog in the first place then it&#039;ll be a very short lived money making experience. Having said that, we are all exposed to A LOT of commercialism and therefore we do accept some advertising so long as the content being offered is useful and valuable for the time we spend on the blog.

Cheers

		<description>Very good advice i have ads on my blog and I&#039;m not looking back now! Its common sense if you feel bad about putting ads on your site, it is probably because you don&#039;t feel like your time is worth anything. And that is a lie! If you are delivering good content why not make a few cents a day! If you aren&#039;t delivering quality content than yes you should feel like a sick sick puppy ha ha jk!</description>

		<description>Actually before I jumped in I got some advertising req. from marketers who think that it&#039;s a good opportunity to buy text ads on my blog for their advertisers as I got a 4 page rank. 

Your post make me feel comfort with what I am doing! Thank you for the nice advice!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad to hear someone say this. Monetizing is essential if you&#039;re blogging for your business. Bag the guilt trip. If you don&#039;t get over that, you can continue working for free if you WANT to, but if you don&#039;t monetize, don&#039;t expect income to come magically. 

And monetizing does NOT always mean ads. It can mean a lot of things. My readership is very small right now, but I have one system that makes quite a bit of money with only about 1k visitors a month. I started with a banner on top from the beginning, because I wanted to be upfront that this was not something I was doing for free. If someone has a problem with me running a business, then they&#039;re obviously not the kind of reader I&#039;m looking for.</description>

		<description>My blog has been around for about a year now. The first few months I didn&#039;t make more than a few dollars.  After I started getting indexed by google and my pages started showing up in searches, the traffic started coming.  

After the traffic came, the money started coming in as well.  I&#039;m one year in now, and my blog is close to paying my mortgage every month.   I know I can do even more!   Everyone else out there can do it, it only takes hard work, lots of good content, and some creativity in how you bring money in.</description>
