I was considering purchasing some links off a few sites and now I havedecided not to. I do use Adsense on my blog (which is farily new) and I did so on the advice of a friend of mine. I hope that maybe a visitor or visitors find the information I am providing useful but I also hope that maybe a adsense ad that isbeing displayed will be useful to them as well. Ithink monetizing is a good thing just as long as it doesn't take away from the actual informationbeing provided. Once again thanks for the post and I am finding your site and information very interesting. First thanks for a very imformative post.

But you do need plenty of visitors to generate any income. Amazon and Adsense are easy to plugin into Wordpress so it would seem to be the sensible option to derive some income from your Art.

But Melissa is right that now that everyone is out there doing it (via Blogger, etc), it makes me wonder whether I'm missing out on even a little easy money. This does sound like a good topic for the Spring Fling discussions. I haven’t seriously considered running ads on my blog.

Although I once made a very good living through my writing, I have, so far, maintained my amateur (doing it for love) status on my blogs. Still, in the last couple of years with the explosion of garden blogs (mostly via Blogger) and Google Adsense plugged in, I find myself wondering if I haven't missed the boat. I'm still thinking about your advice over putting up an Amazon store. I feel a bit better about that because I like to write reviews and when I love something I can't wait to tell my friends about it and get them to try it. Thanks for sharing your experience. Maybe we can talk more about this during your Spring Fling discussion. “To monetize or not to monetize?”, that is the question.
