    Ok, so can somebody explain for me please. I started a blog on blogger, I put google ads on there, is there a way now to get affiliate links on as well? I am so utterly confused :o

    Would I be better doing it some other way altogether?

    THanks

    Although the google ads are affiliate ads iirc? you can add more by signing up for another affiliate service (amazon or many others) and copying the code they provide then going to the part where you added adsense in blogger and there should be an option to add html? i believe you just paste the code that you have copied into there?

    Just had a quick look at your blog and noticed the adds were hidden at the bottom of the page? it may be worth moving them to one side of the blog and making them more prominent? Also have you submitted it to Google and yahoo ect so that it gets listed with them?

    Wow, a personalised service! Thank you for taking the trouble :o

    I can figure out how to move the ads, but how do I go about submitting the blog to a search engine? Sorry to be so clueless and thank you for the advice.

    *more noob questions*

    Can anyone recommend a decent host in the uk that charges a reasonable price? i was going to go with these people http://www.evohosting.co.uk/ until upon trying to sign up i found they don't accept debit cards :mad: so now i am left looking for someone else. ideally they will have a reasonable amount of web space and bandwidth as i was hopeing to do a website with a wordpress blog bolted on? fasthost's and 1&1 both seem to offer services that would fullfill most of what i need but charge about twice what the first company was going to charge :eek:
