You can advertise without any visitors. I do, and it doesnt affect people coming to the site.

There is no magic number :)

How about just affiliate programs?
Ones that have people sign up, then you get paid.

Ebay Affiliates is a high paying one.

I did not notice much of a drop over that period at all.

I guess it all depends on your site topic?
My site kind of lends itself to the holidays as I sell products that people buy for people for...

You can also make certain pages/folders access denied using .htaccess.

This is the easiest and most secure way to do it, I would not rely on javascript.

I like it. I often look for layouts I can use as I have trouble getting them to work myself.

So you dont mind if we use that one? :)

Yes, my visitors only visit 2 or 3 pages on average.
Which either means they really dont like my site, or they are just clicking ads instead (which is fine with me) :)
