What monetization techniques are possible on blogger. If I set up a free account, can I put up banner ads, text link ads, widget bucks, amazon affiliate links...etc on a free account? Also, how many free accounts am I allowed to sign up for and do they force ads in any way for them to make money? All help greatly appreciated. Thanks.
blogger blogs can be treated same as blogs with your own domain. you put all the ads you want as long as it is not against the adnetwork's tos. if you are thinking of google adsense, 3 ad units, 3 text links and i think 2 referrals. you can use widget bucks and amazon affilliates there too. you can have as many free blogger accounts as you want.
Thanks for the help glasshoper. Do blogger place forced ads on your blog, if not how do they make their money?
NO, you sign up with Google adsense first. Then open a blogger account. In your blogger account you will see the feature to ad the adsense. Those adsense are your own; you make money if anyone clicks on it. It is same like having your own . All the ads there will be your own.
