I have to make a confession. I got a little greedy, but not only greedy, but also a little curious. For the past year or so, I enabled Google AdSense on this blog just to see what it would do. I wondered how it would impact the look of the site and if it would generate much in the way of revenue. The answers to this question are as follows.
One, I don't think it made the site unsightly. I think the ads worked well within my format. Two, it earned me almost nothing. Heck, it did actually earn me nothing because AdSense pays out when you reach a hundred dollars in views and clicks. I currently stand at a paltry seventy four cents accrued.
Of course, its been twenty months since I've posted anything to this site and readership has certainly dropped off. Fans want content, or else they'll move on and forget. I can't blame you.
The exercise was not without other rewards. You actually have to jump through a few hoops in order to qualify for AdSense in terms of blog hygene. I'm pround of myself that I actually made the changes necessary to qualify. So regardless, I just wanna say.....thank you Google! It was a good experience.
Anyway, I am going to leave ads up for now.
