Yaaay, Blogads!

I'm happy to say that, thanks to Blogads, this site is finally paying for itself; in fact, revenues from this month should cover the better part of half a year's hosting (which is really this blog's only expense at this point). It may well tail off after the election (although I've actually gotten no campaign ads yet, so we'll see), but it's sure nice right now.

If you're a blogger, I highly recommend Blogads. It's a great service, and they're probably doing more than anyone this side of Blogger itself to make blogging a viable mass medium.

And please check out my advertisers, if you have a moment or two. Clickthroughs are good for repeat business! (Yes, I DO make a point of clicking on Blogads on the sites I especially enjoy, and even occasionally buying the products advertised).

Since I really don't know... how much influence do you as a blogger have on the advertisements that appear on your website? Do they require your approval?

And speaking of BlogAds... on Powerline they currently have an ad for a GOP merchandise company with the tagline... "Backhanding the left into submission." Such a violent tagline, don't you think?

You can approve and reject any ads submitted to your site. You also list yourself by topic and, politics is a topic, by affiliation.

Violent tagline? Speaking as a table tennis player with an abnormally good backhand, I'm not sure I follow...

If it means more of you, maybe Blogads isn't such a great idea.

J-dog,

Wow. Something's brought the barking moonbats out lately. Wonder what it was?
