You may have noticed I placed ads on the site through Google Adsense. I had misgivings about doing it, but in the end I thought I would try it. Making money through blogging is not the reason I started this site or the reason I’m continuing it. I started this site because I have a love of writing and wanted a forum to express myself. The additional, unforeseen benefits of starting this blog are all of the great people I’ve met along the way.
That said, I decided, mostly out of curiosity, to see what kind of money could be made with ads. I just reviewed my Google Adsense report, and I’m proud to say I’ve already made a nickel! Plus, if you’ve seen it, you have to admit that The Potty Stool is really cool. It looks like a throne! King Babito must have one!
Anyway, I hope the ads don’t bother or offend anyone. Any money that’s earned through the ads will go directly into Babito’s savings account.

Ads are no big deal. Sometimes they actually add to the site. People don’t need to click on them if they do not want to. Unfortunately, the Google Adsense program pays ‘about a nickel.’

Good stuff DD. Would you mind putting up an ad for this new crotch deoderant I’ve been working on? I’ve got kids in the Phillipines doing all the grunt work, but they should be ready to ship it out to the US soon. (Or they’ll get beat). Anyhow, it’s only been tested on prisoners, but if people can get past the burning sensation, I think it’s going to be a huge hit.

Nick: The ads on other sites don’t bother me either.
Andrea: I will be happy to put up your ad. What does the ad look like? How much will you pay me? Call my literary agent and work up a deal. Thanks!
