I’m sure at some point or another, people think about advertising on their blog. We put a lot of effort into our posts, it would really be nice wouldn’t it if we could get compensated? I, for one, toy with this idea every now and then, but for now I haven’t.

I go on a variety of blogs, and here’s what I’ve noticed:

1. Mommy blogs have a nice way of doing ads. Not intrusive, just off to the side, in boxes. You click on what you’re interested, or not. I’ve actually clicked on a few, mostly for other blogs, and I’m usually glad I did.
2. I agree, I don’t like ads that interrupt text. I never read them; do they actually work?
3. Depending on the industry, ads are kind of useful. A lot of blogging sites have helpful links.

I think ads are a good thing to offer a readership, so long as the ads offer a good value for the type of readers you get. I would look at it as recommending a product or business to your readers that would help them out.

I think Brian of copyblogger originally wrote that the key to online is to sell your own information products and don't depend on ads. You're on a good path. J.D. Meiers last blog post..Help Your Colleagues Look Good

Whatever puts food in your family's mouths and a roof over their heads. You've gone your own way in the past, and it's really paid off for you, so it makes sense to continue on that way. Best of luck with it! Dots last blog post..Thank You!
