It is not for me. I am just saying that could be one of the the reasons you are not getting the response you were hoping for.
If someone is just starting out as a writer he probably doesn't know much about ads, SEO, getting an Alexa ranking etc. Maybe make a post explaining the importance of that. It is not just about the quality of the content you are able to produce but how you can advertise it and where.
The link above describes how to add an ad on your site, that is not what I meant.
