Not so new newbie approach to widgets

[Iya Ifalola Omobola]

I am finally getting my feet wet in this world. I had to have a long talk with myself because in struggling to provide conscious and educational content and products, I've become so overwhelmed at times, I almost gave up. I eventually put all my focus into a couple of giveaways (which give good temporary leads but they are a tough audience) and they do not do well by me. Not good - yet - at getting folk to go where I ask them. Still in the formative stages of developing relationship. My major website now (had at least five of them before) is actually a blogger blog, although I have my own sites. I am focusing on gaining trust in my expertise. I have a couple of widgets on that site now as well as Googlesense, Bidvertiser and Amazon, as well as a couple of my affiliate programs. How do I decide how much advertisement to put on my site without it driving folk away?

"How do I decide how much advertisement to put on my site without it driving folk away?"

That's a really good question. I think it has to do quite a bit with what your market will support - what they are used to...For example, I don't think many folks at all are put any longer by Adsense. But when you start adding a ton of stuff, including my widget, it becomes too much noise.

One good measure would be revenue...are you making money with the widgets? If not, drop them. Or at least test them. See which ones help your readers most, therefore helping you most.

My thoughts, love to hear others...
