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 :
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.

yes i do agree!
infact i opened this page from Google read JUST to leave comment.
Ads just destroy the beauty of “personal” blog and most of people these days are getting frustrated by “Ads by google” tag on good blogs.
An interesting fact - one of my friend also is using ads on his blog, i just asked him how much he earned in last three months, he said $8! then i just suggested him to get a ads free site for just $8/three months, isn’t that cheap!
nxt time visited his blog, it was looking so beautiful
anyways so you returned from US or still there?
