OK, I know this goes against the point of the post, but it’s in the title so guess I’ll comment. When it comes to google ads, I don’t think they’re technically supposed to be on most personal sites anyway. Lotsa people do, but I think it goes against their usage “rules” in most cases. I agree in that ads seem a bit misplaced in personal sites and blogs. I have no problems in putting them on community sites though. But although I solely run some community sites, I don’t consider them personal by any means, mostly because I’m not expressing an opinion on them so there’s nothing personal about it. :)

No way.. no ads on my personal sites either. Cramps my style, usually doesn’t match with the design (if not always) and generally shows a poor image of the site owner. It would be like putting stickers on the outside of your house advertising for K-mart or something like that.. sure you may get a tiny bit of money for anybody that said “I saw it on that house” but it’s not significant enough to make me want to do it. Is it a pride thing? or a morals thing? or a policy thing?

dude you probably already know the answer to that one. You are after all, “smarter than the average bear”. Go on, join the rest of us and sell out ~ it’s profitable and chicks dig phat wads of cash not to mention the near orgasmic attraction of a lethally sharpened bizniz mind twinned with a slam down hip-ass street style that says u in the house gettin paid like trump.

Whoah.. that sounded like you, and hey.. I still need to be impressed :)

…well, ok, I always want more dough.. I need faster toys. And nothing wrong with showin’ a little playa-playa even though I’ve tapped out of the game.

I already have profit from my job and contract, so there is no need to sell out.

I’m getting married, so the desire and need to impress betty’s is wilting ever so quickly.

‘Course, I dig good impressions…
