Really? Do you really need that 5 dollars a year you get from Google if someone clicks an ad on your site? More like 400 someones–just to make $5? I don’t. And I am poor.
I think it’s just like all the other trends.Someone monetized their blog so someone else did it and so on.And let’s face it:sometimes the only new content in a blog for weeks or months are the ads. So there’s a service they do provide. I don’t mind ads in blogs.I do mind picture ads that are so close to the content that if I click anywhere near the ad all of a sudden I get whisked away to advertiser land,disrupting my read of how much someone hates Lindsay Lohan or is jealous of Ms.Jolie’s beauty. Yes I read that crap.
My point is don’t clutter up your site or blog with ads picture or text and annoy your random readers all in the name of tiny money. Because you will make more cash just by keeping your eye out for loose change on the sidewalk.
Wait until you have the traffic to justify it then annoy whomever you want.
