Blog Idea # 2

I am against putting ads on my blog to make some revenue out of it. It is not that I don’t want to make money from my blog, but my feeling is that there will not be much clicks on to the ad displayed in the blog.
Some of the reason for making a wild guess are :

  • The rss technology has changed the way people read blogs today. The much sofisticated RSS Readers provide related feeds and makes people away from the actual web pages where the blogs are hosted.
  • Less than 1% of your blog readers gives a comment back for which they visit your website.
  • I never use to click on  or even view the ads placed on the google search unless I am doing a competitor comparison of where we stand against him and what ads he place in google.
  • The ads on Blog has changed from the goolge random ad model to the fixed ads for which the money is paid upfront on a monthly pixel basis.
  • Unless you are too much focused on a very particular subject, putting ads are waste.

Cheers - Ranjith
