Over the years I have considered putting ads on my blog, but have resisted because I felt I would be essentially making money off of my friends, which I have a strong aversion to.
However, recently a few friends who read my blog have encouraged me to throw some ads up, saying they wouldn't mind them at all. They were kind enough to say they thought my content was worth it.
So I went for it. If I don't earn more than a few bucks, I'll take the ads down after a while. If you have a problem with them in any way, please let me know (in the comments or using the email link in the sidebar). Thanks.

Hey man, I don't mind the ads at all. I read your blog on my reader, though, so is it better for you monetarily if I click on through to the main page?
ReplyDeleteIt is, but I'm looking into possibly adding ads to my feed as well.
ReplyDeleteYES! Keep us updated on the loads of dough you make!
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to change the link behavior of the ads? It'd be nice if they'd open in a new tab rather than taking me away from your blog.
ReplyDeleteNope, sorry.
ReplyDeleteHeck! Guess I'll have to Cmd+Click.
ReplyDeleteDude, you have earned it, I'm glad you went for it. I even clicked a few links to hopefully give you a little tip.
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks, but per my agreement with Google (and in case any of their spies are listening in), I am not encouraging that. :)
