Adsense makes a little sense!

I consider myself to be self taught when it comes to the computer, internet and making my own web site at Kristiscovers.com. I Have just recently chose to monetize it. I made a few dollars in the first day and stayed steady for a day or two but I am realizing how much work goes into getting even more traffic to your website to get those oh so needed clicks and search users. I know about seo and other ways of driving traffic to my site but I seem to be stuck on getting an actual site I really like that keeps people there longer than a minute or two. I do just fine with people who have been personally referred, but to the average pregnant mom looking for custom crib bedding to go in her nursery, I guess it is just too much work to inquire about the products.

I feel like I should just quit designing and just make up pages of nothing but ads. I could do this with no problem. But I like what I do and just need that extra nudge to get a little "buzz" going on at my site.

This is where the ads came in. I figured if I had a little traffic and some ads it would sort of go hand in hand and get a better listing over time in searches engine listings. It's slowly working but I, like everyone else, need it to work sooner than later. I will keep steaming along trying to find the right combination to get all the pregnant mommies to really consider my custom nursery bedding while they are still pregnant and to also get these adsense ads to work for me!

I know it can be done!! If you have any hints even obvious ones, please let me in on them!
