Here’s a common fear I hear from people who are considering monetizing their web sites: Putting ads on my site will cripple my traffic.The ads will drive people away, and they’ll never come back. What do you think about this?

Don't do pop-ups. They just piss people off. If you just do banners, it's fine and people will stay happy.

I don`t think the traffic will decrease. People love to visit your site and they will do it again and again till you satisfy their needs.
