<b>When should I put ads on my site?</b>

Q: I have a few hundred visitors a month. Slap ads on now or wait?

A: Short answer: wait — at a few hundred visits ads earn pennies and can hurt you. Longer answer: display ads pay roughly per thousand views, so at low traffic you're trading user experience for coffee money while adding slow scripts that can drag page speed (a ranking and conversion factor). The smarter sequence: get to consistent traffic first, then monetize with the highest-value method your niche allows — usually affiliate or your own product before ads. Many owners qualify for a real ad network around 10k sessions/month and only then does it move the needle. Early on, your "monetization" is building trust and an email list you can sell to later.
