Are you saying I should charge people to subscribe to a site newsletter?

If you let them just float around and "surf"... that's exactly what they'll do... nothing. |
I’d like them to click on ads, as I plan on having my primary income source from ad revenue, but you can’t exactly tell people to click, because then you could get banned from their programs. All my offerings on my site are free (viewing my info, registering, etc.)

I suppose my site is more of a “fun site”, and I write about a variety of topics, so I’m unsure of what exactly the “niche” would be, and whether my traffic is targeted or not.
