Update Your Widget Ads
While you're tapping your pencil on your desk, thinking about your next fantastic post, don't forget to update your widget sidebar ads regularly.
While your Atmail account may be the spammiest email account in existence, it's worth wading through it every so often to find those promotions from your affiliates. They'll send out notices of short-term ad campaigns (3 Days Only! 50% Off Entire Site!). If you pay attention, you can snag one of those to use in one of your sidebar ads.
I know that right now, Mother's Day is a big shopping holiday, so almost all of my affiliates are throwing the kitchen sink (literally - there's an ad for a sink) at me to promote on my site. I waded through all the "Solar Panel" ads on Atmail to dig out these promos. They send code links right in the email for you to use. Couldn't be easier, but you need to check them on the actual site because they rush them together so fast sometimes they don't get them quite right.
For my site, I use no more than 4 banner or text ads on my sidebars. I don't use generic ads - just specific cooking/baking affiliates. I change my ads about every two weeks or more depending on the promo (a very generic promo like "Food Network" can stay longer, while the "3-Day Sale" of course has to change more often). It takes very little time and keeps things fresher.
