I have a blog getting about 100 uniques a day and I am looking for an easy way to monetize it, hint hint, it is in my signature.

Should I just hit them nuggas with an ajax pop-up with a affiliate offer pertaining to their interest or wait for more traffic?

May vishnu bless you..
 


work on getting some more traffic. It shouldn't take too long to go from 100 to 500+ a day.

I have a friend whos monetizing his small blog. Gets around 300 hits a day. Currently making a little under $100 a month from play-asia's affiliate program. not sure if that's right for your own blog though.
 
The niche is pretty hard to be monetized. I think you won't succeed putting some affiliate offers on it nor adsense.
Here's what you can do. Promote your site on social networks like digg, stumbleupon, reddit. You should get fairly easy 1000+ visits / day. Then, apply for a good CPM company (TribalFusion is my favorite but it only accepts websites that have at least 2000+ visitors / day).
 
IMHO if you devoted the same amount of energy into building microsites/ microblogs you'd get a much better return on your time and money.

My first foray into what I thought AM was was building a huge gossip site. Wonderful traffic, terrible return on money. Very difficult to monetize niches where people are there for pleasure reading, not in "buy mode".

Mi dos centavos.
