[…] The problem with adding a bunch of ads from the beginning is the core subscribers, the ones who also have blogs and have traffic to link in (and most of which don’t click ads anyway, I believe), will be less likely to point to sites that look like splogs, and very little content surrounded by a lot of ads looks very sploggy. Conversely, lots of space for text and no ad intrusion is very reader-friendly. There is a very delicate balance here that only good, original content has a better than average chance of survival.

I’m agree with for not using a template for the page, my suggestion is, if you found a good template to follow, make some modif on it and rebuilt the web
