I just wanted to inform all of my readers of some changes that I have made and will be making here in the next few days.
First off, the big ad banner at the top of the blog is gone. While it might have brought the blog some revenue, it was, admittedly, annoying. There were many that told me this and I sort of agreed, but wanted to make the cash. However, after thinking about it — I realized that while making money is great fun, being an annoying person is not. Therefore, I canned that ad and the huge ad in the side bar, in favor of two smaller button ads that should be appearing shortly. As I said, the last thing I want people to be is annoyed when coming here.
I am also thinking and just may reduce the number of in-line ads as well. I believe I have that setting cranked up to max; which is a bit annoying. Therefore, I will be dialing that back as well. Personally, I find inline ads quite annoying, but they do make the money, if the traffic is there. This is why I went ahead with them. However, I want them to be within reason and not annoying to the user experience.
That is it for now.
Enjoy!
