I have whored my blog
Posted by Chris @ 1:03 pm
I am a blog pimp. I have whored my blog to the devil of Google AdSense. Why, I hear you crying? Well, why not. I tried it once before and to be honest it didn't do too well, basically because I put it in a rubbish place. But now, I've put it in amongst the posts, in the hope that you, the reader, will find the ads helpful / accidentally click them whilst browsing my site. But also, as they are in amongst my posts they pick up more relevant content, and so the ads are more relevant (more so than the religious ads I was getting when I first tried it!)
I have tried to make them as unobtrusive as possible, but the idea folks is to see how few dollars I can generate from my site! I'll keep you update on how much I make, in the first week I've managed $0.29, so I'm off to a flying start!

Im disappointed, thats seriously whored!!I for one WILL not be clicking your ads purely on the principle that they add far too much page spam.
I also find it ironic that you praise google so much yet still prefer msn search ?!?!

Yeah, a bit of controversy, this is what I like. I'm a man of the people, if it causes real problems I might remove them! Thing is, if you don't try, you never know do you!As for praising Google but still using MSN Search on my site, simple answer is this. Google services, Analytics, AdSense, GMail, Google Maps, etc are all good, easy to use, services that do what they say they will do. However, as far as search goes and maintaining accurate indexing, for my site in particular, MSN Search is miles better. Simple. See previous posts on this matter.

I won't be clicking them either. Not after the abuse you gave me when I told you the last time I clicked one was because I felt sorry for you.I might even stop reading it directly and just use Google Reader instead... and if you then stop publishing your full post content in your feed, I'll stop reading it altogether in protest!
(If you want to make money, why don't you just sell your wife? She'd make you more than $0.29 methinks...)
