As you’ve noticed (unless you’re adblocking Google ads), I’ve been adding more, bigger ads to both this site and the Sporting Gnomes.
Basically, I can always use more cash to pay for my hobbies. Since whoring myself out to 500 fat chicks for 100 dollars each — or 50 really fat chicks for 1000 dollars each — isn’t an option and since I don’t need $50,000, I figured GoogleAds were the best way to go.
Really I’m just trying to break even. That means I need to earn about $8/month. So far I’m above $5 for the month of September. I have more than doubled the $2.23 I earned in August. And as proof that I am not getting rich off this, I have now earned $13.01 since October 2005. (March, April, and May were a little lean as they only generated $0.03.)
If you find the ads to be overwhelmingly bothersome, let me know. I’ll let those of you who complain cut me the cash to keep everything operating smoothly at the mediocre level you’ve come to expect.
And all this goes to prove that if I were smart I’d just move everything to a good, free site (not blogger) and pump an extra $96 a year into my IRA. Of course if I were smart I’d also quit drinking, lose 15 pounds, and put extra effort into my job. But that just wouldn’t be any fun.
