Yes…Those Are Ads

Some of you may have noticed lately that I’ve added some non-obtrusive google ads to this site. I wanted to take a minute to explain.

Google ads are an easy way to make a little extra money from your website. Believe me, I’m not getting rich with this site, but given the fact that it does cost a little money and a lot of time to run it, it helps to have a little extra compensation.

I’ve tried to keep the ads as non-obtrusive as possible, so as to not to affect your ability to read the content. The colors blend in to the rest of the site so they’re not overtly “ad-ish”.

Also, google ads pay on a per-click basis. That means that I only get compensated if an ad is clicked. I don’t get paid for just displaying them on the site. If you don’t like the ads, then don’t click them. No big deal.

Believe me, this is a labor of love. I do not run this blog to make money, not in the least.

Just wanted to explain. I really hope no one minds. If you have an opinion, feel free to leave it in the comments below.

Speaking of ads, if you run adsense on your website, be sure to head over to RockinThemes.com where I wrote a post explaining how to rotate adsense blocks. I specifically wrote it for 2 people who need to share ad space on the same website, but you could use it to rotate ads with different color schemes, or any number of applications. It’s pretty simple, so head over and take a look.

Since I mentioned RockinThemes.com, Cory and I have released some pretty cool themes in the last day or so. Be sure to head over there and check them out.

Google ads are so unobtrusive, I can’t imagine that anyone would mind. I fully understand wanting a bit of compensation; hosting and domain names aren’t exactly free.

I like blogs with AdSense adverts. It gives me a way to “thank” the blogger for their time. I usually throw a few clicks their way to help. I blog myself and I know what a “labor of love” it can be…

Thanks guys, I appreciate the support!
