Just a thought I had, don't know whether it's relevant or not. Their loss. It might also help if you ad an "Advertise" page and set it up with links to paypal - I get quite a few advertisers that way for theadmaster.net, you can check out my page at http://theadmaster.net/?page_id=61 - sometimes people are just lazy and if you give them an easy way to advertise on your site, they'll grab it.

I surely don't have your popularity, but to have opportunities based on Google Rank is silly and hurts quality bloggers. I understand.

I don't know much about SEO or probably nothing at all but it looks like Matt has some good stuff right there. Wish you the best! :) It’s no surprise you have tons of traffic coz you have a really cute blog and fun posts as well.

Regarding SEO, I know my stuff pretty good & I must admit it is a bit odd that you don't even have PR1 considering your backlinks & unique (i hope ? ;) content history. The only thing I can think of offhand is that you changed your URL structure or something? (I notice all posts are rewritten to the root directory, prolly a wp plugin - was that always installed?) Also it might be a good idea to add a few more words to the homage title of your site besides the actual name - 'Mommy blog' or whatever. Something people search for. As for the cashola aspect - you really have to seek out & test different affiliates, as opposed to 'sponsors' seeking you out. Think of what your readers are already purchasing & provide them easy access to do so or good deals on those items etc I have successfully monetized many blogs & websites and you sound really sincere so I had to leave a comment - hope it was helpful.
