So can i make a little money from my blog or not?
-
Hadn’t really thought about making money from my blog, but then suddenly thought “Hey, why not at least try”.
I’ve no idea where to start (to make money), so would it be possible for someon in the know to have a check of my blog and see what they think?
Thanks

you can’t put ads of any kind that would help you make money because it’s a violation against the terms of service. do that and you will be suspended. wp.com blogs are not allowed to put ads, unless you’re part of their vip program which costs a lot to be part of.
if you’re serious about putting ads, you should download the wordpress software and host it on your own. otherwise there are other blog host providers who allow ads. however, from reading around the forums (you can easily search past threads with keywords like ‘ads’) there isn’t much money to be made unless you have a large readership for your blog.

Since ads (except for one discreet link to Amazon) are not permitted on WordPress.com blogs, the place to start is at wordpress.org with a self-hosted blog.

Without knowing your stats it’s hard to say, but on the surface you’ve got a specialist blog which doesn’t seem to have a wide readership as there are hardly any comments. I doubt the pennies you’d make from Adsense would be worth the expense of paying for a domain and hosting, nor the upheaval of copying and pasting your content to blogspot. I’d stay put for the time being and have a look at the adsense upgrade if/when it arrives.

Not a chance. It’s not worth trying to commercialize until you’re getting a thousand or more hits a day, really.
Besides, and more to the point, it’s impossible with a WordPress.com blog.
