Website Adverts good or bad?

If you know me you will know I’ve tried out several methods of advertising on my sites, for example Google adsence, affiliate future, amazons affiliate, adbrite, 1and1 referral and now trying to sell advertising space.

But what has made me any money 1 has made me $2 and that was 1and1’s referral advertising but this was on one of my less busy websites, yet the popular sites haven’t pulled in ANYTHING this was a big problem when using advertising which you cannot get any money out untill you earn $100.

So my new adventure is selling my own personal advertising space, as you might have noticed I actually have some new adverts around the page for sale their cheap as you can find out on the advertising space page it is currently run using openads so if someone wants a advert on this site they can pay me say a months cost once I see the money (in paypal) I will put the advert up.

Unfortunately it isn’t all automated i need to set up the adverts myself which personally I dislike as it doesn’t insure absote accuracy on the ads compared to the client putting it in.

Which to me is bad I believe potential customers would find it bad as well, I’m only saying that because I went totally off topic.

So overall $2 made and all I’ve ended up with is a messy website and a big bill for the websites.

What I’m getting at is that if your website isn’t that popular don’t put adverts on your site use the clean and tidy look to rake in more people if you visit a site and theirs ads eveywhere you don’t want to stay do you but if its clean you consider reading it.

Only when you can put one small ad on your site and get a little money are you ready to put more on your website so be careful not to overflow your site with adverts.
