Some of the blog networks mentioned at the conference looked really great too and I think as soon as I switch a couple over from blogspot to hosted domains I will try some of the other networks. Never hurts to test them out! That’s true about the Google Adsense Blog-Killer Hammer. :-) I know Kelly uses Chitka w/good success on his website.

While I realize it wouldn't work for all bloggers, my blog is a relatively focused niche blog. The blog is still in its infancy right now and the Adsense income is still just dribs and drabs every day. But I have noticed the income growing as the blog grows. And we know, of course, that it works very well for sites like Suite101. The only thing that scares me a little about Adsense is the fact that your account can be canceled with no warning if Google believes you're doing something "wrong". At least that's what I've been told by other writers who've had their adsense accounts terminated. So, a back-up plan may not be a bad idea but I believe that Adsense is a feasible way to monetize the right type of blog :-) Angela, I agree with you about Google Adsense.

I organized the panel and in hindsight, I should have considered that option. The best thing about these blogging conferences, and Blissdom in particular, is that it gives you the opportunity to meet really smart women, such as yourself, that you can learn from. I look forward to learning more from you!!! Angela, I totally agree with you and did not take it the wrong way at all! I organized the panel and in hindsight, I should have considered that option.

I hope it didn't come across as a criticism - I am a web content producer by background....the Adsense-specific articles are what kept my kids out of daycare and provided my family "fun money" before I ever came into blogging so we are definitely coming at it from two different angles. ;-) I agree Google adsense would not be the best option ( AT ALL) for someone who is a journaling-type blogger vs someone with a clearly defined niche which lends itself more easily to adsense ads.
