You won't get any benefit, instead your blog could have a drop in the ratings because as your blog is new, you do not have much content, consistent traffic and putting ads at this time is not a wise move. So put the advertisements when you have a consistent traffic of say 500-600 unique visitors daily and when you have something good for your readers so that they won't mind the advertisements. You can have a good start with Google AdSense and Infolinks.
