I’m being overwhelmed by schoolwork. Anyone want to write and Ed. Psych paper? Or how about a book review over Ain’t No Makin’ It: Aspirations and Attainment in a Low-Income Neighborhood? Come on, you know you want to.
I understand how nice google ads are for websites. Not only do they generate revenue, but they place ads that are relevant to what is on your site. That being said, what I don’t get is the fact that more and more personal bloggers are using them on their site. My problems with this are:
1) Most bloggers don’t generate enough traffic to make the ads worth it. A site of mine generates a fair amount of traffic, but the $ recieved is only about 25 cents a day.
2) Most blogs are personal, so what ads could actually be placed? Most ads are of stuff that no one would really be interested in buying.
3) IMO it makes your personal blog look tacky.
I for one will be boycotting google ads on my blog. It wouldn’t be worth it, even though I do generate a fair amount of traffic. Would the 10 cents a day be worth it? No. What I have to say is personal, even though I do post articles of scientific and politcal nature quite frequently. So fellow bloggers, ask yourself, is it really worth it?
I’m so tired. Friday night we went to a party. That was alright. On Saturday night we went to Joplin for the Magical Mystery Tour. Otherwise known as a WSG show that wasn’t in Springfield. It was fun. We had two vans go down. What kind of sucked is they were supposed to go on first (at 8:00, which they thought 9:00) so we got there 20 minutes late. No big deal, they just switched spots with the second band. Then the third band didn’t show up. Also, this place was full of 14 year olds. It was a skate park in Joplin. Probably the only thing to do for kids in Joplin. Overall, it was a good time.
