Hi Sean

I have no adds on my blog yet as I am still building it, but I am really grateful to get this information as it will save me time by not making errors in this area.

Adsense ads are usually very well targeted Jill. If you are finding the ads on your site are un-targeted, it may be possible that there are not a lot of products that are relative to your particular post content.

Hi Sean,
Sometimes I make the mistake with too many ads on my site. Right now I have one affiliate product on my blog and a couple Adsense Ads.

My problem is that the ads are not very closely related to the blog content. Even Google is having problems relating ads to content…I have noticed.

I know I have to improve a lot with SEO. In the meantime I will be aware to follow the advice in this article and not overload my site with too many ads. Thank you.

Hi Sean,

I don’t have too many ads yet and I’ll try not to make this mistake. I have one affiliate product I intend to start marketing and I’m considering a second complementary product.

I’m thinking of using the primary one as the one I’ll use most of the time. But, there are certain posts that I think I would do better to use the second one on. In that case I wouldn’t use the primary one at all. Do you have any advice, Sean?

Thanks for that.

I had never thought of exit pop-ups. What a great idea.

I do already follow your advice in that I try to make what are actually my ads fit in very naturally to the content and in no way either distract or annoy. I don’t know how successful I am, but I certainly am conscious of how offensive the hard sell can be.

Personally I am totally put off by the hard sell in any area. In a department store if the clerk begins a hard sell, I just walk away, even if I really wanted the item, I will go elsewhere to buy it.

So, I feel that it is no secret that what I am trying to do is sell, but I hope to do it in an attractive and reasonably subtle way rather than ramming things down throats.

Thanks for the article.
