    I just converted my site to a blog. I want to try to make some money off google adsense. Couple of quesstions...do I have to many adsense links? On the home pape I have one in the header one on the side and one on the bottom...But If you go to any page or click on a post there are a total of 4. Can you look and tell me if there are to many.

    Next, how would you market this. I havent made any posts yet, I just finished getting the blog up and debugged. I need traffic. Any quick suggestions on how to go about getting traffic or any other ideas on monetizing the site?

    the site is anonrecovery. com (notice the space before .)
    Please tell me your overall view of this site

    Definitely a unique blog you've got there. I think an affiliate program focusing on private investigation gadgets would probably be one of the better ideas for your blog. You'd be better off implementing the Adsense ads underneath the right hand sidebar, as the current position doesn't really work too well, however I don't think theirs too many.

    I'd also strongly suggest you get yourself a better looking theme, as your current one looks like something that was made when in the 1990's. Don't take it personally, but to succeed you need something that is visually appealing to your viewers.

    You might want to check out an article I recently wrote up that may benefit you.

    As far as getting traffic goes, there's an article on my blog explaining how you can get some free traffic. Do feel free to grab some ideas from my blog.

    So this theme doesnt work? Why put the ads under the sidebar verses where they are now?
