ADVICE• Do not be desperate to make money from ads by placing it

all over your site, you do not want to scare your readers away or make them think they are visiting a marketing show

• Try and keep your content clean of advertisements, you’d be surprised how easily a reader gets distracted if you have a advertisement right between your content.

• Try and make the ads blend in with the theme of your website, Google Adsense allows you to customise the look of text ads.

• Don’t click on your own ads, most ad providers can pick this up and will disable your account.
