There are differing opinions as to when a person should add Google adsense to their website.  Many people will tell you that you should wait until you have a strong userbase and are getting over 1000 unique visitors per day.  Their logic follows that if you clutter up your site with adsense ads then you’ll turn potential repeat customers off to your site and it’ll take that much longer to gain a userbase.

Others will tell you to not wait and put the ads on right away.  It can take years to get to over 1000 unique visitors a day.  During that time your website isn’t making you any money, little as it may be.

They’re right, you shouldn’t wait until you get 1000 unique visitors per day, unless you’re the first into a popular new niche that’ll take a long time.  But you should also not clutter up your site with adsense.  You should add your ads in a way that makes them part of the overall template so that they don’t look out of place.  To do this you need to incorporate them much sooner than 1000 visitors per day.  But when doing so don’t make your site look like it’s just made to serve ads.  You definately should wait until you have most of your pages indexed by google as your adsense ads will be wildly off target until google has most of your site indexed.  You can determine this by using google’s webmaster tools.
