    You can start whenever. As you grow you will generate more revenue for yourself. Just remember that for the best results, your blog should pre-sell the ads. By that I mean since you have a tech related blog, you would do best with tech related ads.

    The faster you add the banners or aff products the faster you will start to earn commissions, I don't know why wait, your traffic are receiving good information, so a few ads will not bother your readers if are related ads.

    Start right now. No matter how many visitors you have, they can click your adds if they are interested anyway. Choose the products mostly corresponding to your blog topic.

    I would start showing affiliate links now. You might make a little bit of money from it right now, but as your blog grow you will make more money.

    You could also consider putting up some Technology-related freebie offers like Email & Zip Submits where they get a free Macbook, or iPod, or Blackberry.

    I would've been starting instead of posting this message, you can do well with 200 uniques a day. If you don't want to try to pre-sell cpa campaigns throw up adsense and see how that does for you, im sure you'll get a few clicks if you place the ad right.

    There is no exact right or wrong answer for when you should start monetizing your site. It is refreshing to hear that you chose to blog first and try to make money second. Most people pick out their affiliate program and then try to write content for that program.

    As far as what service to use adsense or affiliate programs that too is a tough question to answer because in the end it all depends on what is going to work best for your traffic. I suggest testing a little of both. Adsense is usually good for a quick hit of money because it is self targeting, while affiliate programs can in many cases lead to more income.
