In this chapter, we looked at how you can place advertisements on your blog to generate revenue. We began with an introduction to Google AdSense and the Awesome Google AdSense plugin, which allows you to place AdSense ads in a variety of locations on your blog. Next, you learned about affiliate programs, in particular, Amazon Associates. We set up an Amazon book widget and placed it in the sidebar. Finally, we looked at display advertising and how you can set up ad rotation using OpenX.
In the next chapter, we will look at strategies to help you cope as your blog grows and the number of visitors increases.
