is it possible to make $400 dollars weekly by placing a few ads on your website?

You can make a full-time living from your website.

Like any business, you have to promote the products and/or services you offer. This can be done in a number of ways:
1. Get top positions in the SE's. This involves SEO and will bring a good volume quality targeted visitors to your site. This can take some time to achieve.
2. Join Social Networks and interact with the community members. Get friendly and give help on the subjects you are knowledgeable about. You will get a good reputation which in turn will build respect and trust. I belong to 3 networks listed below which will give you an idea of how to get involved and setting up Profiles:

Also get involved on Twitter and build a network of followers.
See me at Twitter to see how I Tweet:

Every day, I have a set routine to contact and interact with members on all these communities. Believe me, it does work, but you have to treat it seriously and discipline yourself to work every day at it.

Oh, and one more - create a Blog and post daily news snippets about your products/services. If you choose Wordpress or Blogger, again, get involved with the community. Comment on their blog posts and they will come back and read yours.

It's all about creating a massive network of friends who you can eventually convert to buying customers.

Do this, and within a month I forecast you will be making good sales.

All the best for your future,
Steve
