Ads in Place
As I indicated before, when I was debating using advertising on this site, I was actually a little wary of doing so.
However, I’m broke and no one gave me a reason not to do it. So ads are now in place here. You didn’t opine otherwise so you can’t complain, right? :-)
I figure if Darren Rowse can make oodles of money blogging, then so can I…. Right?

No self-respecting yuppie would sink so low as to have cheeseball ads on their site.

You might want to erase any reference to people clicking on ads. It’s against the terms of service of all ad suppliers to encourage readers to click ads – you will get yourself banned from the system if you do. You can mention you have them but a statement like:
‘Maybe you’ll click through to some of the ads posted and help me become unbroke.’
could get you in trouble if they find out. Best to play it safe.

Good call, Darren. Didn’t really think too much about it. Thanks.

I was wondering when you would start to put some ads up. I consider ads on a blog not to be a disruption or “selling out”, it’s just a way to get some money back (covering hosting costs, etc) and if you make a buck or two extra, why not?
You’re spending time on writing, maintaining the site, dealing with comments, interacting with people – this is usually not out of the interest of making money, but for the love of doing it, but if you can make some without any extra effort: do it!
On another note: everyone is doing it – whether the content (or blog itself) is “good” or not, so you’ve got every right to put some ads up, especially if they’re not overbearing… :-)
