[Hidden-tech] Taking advertising on a blog

[Colin Panetta]

I find that 99 times out of 100, having ads on a blog decreases the value
of the blog in a manner that far outweighs the few dollars to be gained. If
you want to make more than, say, $20 a year on blog ads, you have to either
have huge amounts of traffic or be a savvy and dedicated marketing person.
If you don't naturally have either of those things, I
wouldn't recommend it, and consider an ad free experience a gift to your
visitors, which is far more valuable.

Best,
Colin
