I think I would have bought a domain and joined some advertising programs/networks earlier.
I had a site on my ISPs free hosting for 3 or 4 years, with my site as a subdomain.
It was short and I was only young (about 13 when I started). This was the only reason I was rejected from various ad networks as my traffic was pretty good (and I have spoken with the people who rejected my site since).
I could have made a packet in the dot com boom, but missed out by being too late and omains are cheap, as is professional hosting.
You live and learn...
