On of the questions I often get asked is when is the best time to put advertising on your blog?
Nowadays, people are trying to earn money from some unusual sources. Before now people used to earn money from a particular businees, or trade, but now money is so tight that people can’t depend on single business. Many people start blogging to earn a bit extra so that they can pay their bills, or whatever.
As I said earlier, earning money from blogging is not easy and it takes patience. If you are greedy or need to make money in a hurry then blogging shouldn’t be your choice. Yes! I have to say that because blogging will not make you a rich person overnight. It needs a lot of experience and perseverance to make your blog popular.
Everybody knows that money CAN be made by blogging, but you need to have enough visitors and not only visitors, but potential visitors. If you are thinking of making serious money from blogging then you have to take decision of putting advertising on your blog. Advertising ads on blog is an effective method to make money online and you should know when to put ads on your blog. You should ask yourself before putting ads on your blog, when is the right time to put advertising on my blog?
What is the best time to put advertising on your blog?
I thought a lot about it before putting advertising on this blog. I read lots of articles on the internet about this topic and I came to some conclusions from them which I want to share with you today. According to me, you should have at least 100+ unique visitors per day to put advertising on blog. To get that many visitors is quite easy. If your content is good, well written and unique then you will get visitors for sure. Keep adding new content to blog and you will get more visitors.
The niche your blog is in, is quite important. For example, if your blog is related to technology, make money online, health, celebs etc. then you are sure to get a good number of visitors who will keep visiting, but if your blog is a personal blog or a very general blog, or very niche blog, then it will be little more difficult to get visitors,but conversely it may be able to keep them and develop quite a loyal following.
Why 100 unique visitors per day?
I said a 100 visitors per day, but this is quite a small number if you have a general niche blog. Many different niches require many more visitors before you can start advertising on your blog.
Many visitors just come to get one specific piece of information and will close the window after reading what they want. This type of visitors are always in the majority i.e. around 85-90% and although this percentage is totally dependent on the content of your blog so it can vary from time to time. Your blog should have strong and interactive content so that large number of visitor will surf through more content and will also come back to see what is new on blog.
Even if you are planning to put advertising then don’t just put ads from one or two advertising network. I would recommend you to use a combination of one PPC ad and one text link ad which will give better results. Give time to your blog to grow, add new content on regular basis and slowly experiment with ads of different networks. Make sure you are always informing your readers, or combining information from different sources so as to shed new light on a subject. Also try and reward your readers with giveaways and coupons so that there is a real, tangible reward for their loyalty.
Now I think it would be good to hear from you, dear reader. When did you first put ads on your blog? What was your experience? What changes did you make as the results of your ads started to come in?
