What free sites can I start a blog on, and use my AsSense ad account on it?

    The title probably says it all. I'm wondering which free websites will let me set up a blog on their server, and will let me put my own AdSense ads on my blog? I'm basically looking for ways to make a little extra money from a free account, and also drive a little traffic to my main website.


    Edit: As soon as I posted this, I noticed that the word "AdSense" has a typo in the thread topic! It's unfortunate, that the "d" and "s" keys are so close together, and my left hand isn't more coordinated. I certainly wasn't trying to insult AdSense at all. I'm rather fond of AdSense! :)

    Blogger.com should be the best free blogging platform. I don't find anything better than that.

    of course blogspot.com alias blogger.com.
    It is owned by the Google, so you will implement adsense very easily on it.

    good luck :)

    If you already have a main site as you said why wouldnt you setup a blog on the main site? That way the traffic is already there and your PR will benefit.

    See if your web host has Fantastico in your cpanel. if so, installing wordpress will takes less than a minute. You can also easily add adsense to it.

    I agree. If you already have your own website, that means you have your own hosting, why are you screwing around with free stuff.
    It doesn't make any sense.

    Download wordpress, install it on a folder or subdomain, get your self a theme and do what every you want.

    By the way, adsense is not that easy to make money with..you need a lot of traffic. If you have your own hosting, why build up traffic on a free blog that you don't own?
