Sponsored Post: I’ve gone and done it now
I’m sure you’ve noticed all the little badges peppered around my blog now. I’ve gone and signed up with Pay Per Post to see if I can’t make a little money to help pay for this blog’s domain and hosting, at the very least (and a little pocket money for little ol’ me).
So what do I think about ads on blogs? So far, it’s not been too bad. I haven’t grown horns nor has my writing IQ diminished.
I’ve also made $0.45 on my Adsense and it’s been a little less than a week? Pretty soon, we’ll be able to afford real butter!
But what’s more important is, what do YOU think about ads on blogs? Do they compromise editorial integrity? Or is it just business at the end of the day?
ps. Pics of beautiful Eastern Washington later. We took 700+ pictures, I shit you not. Go get your Flickr on if you want to see them all.

I think your movement is good, I mean, you built your readership before making money. Sometimes, I feel not right about myself to put money first before I started something, as it always says, if you have nothing valuable to share or exchange, money will never come to you.
We need to make our income somewhere, and I believe no one will doubt your effort on maintaining and writing for your blog, most importantly, the ads are not flooding everywhere
Congratulation and wishing to see you making lot of money from your blog.

I think blog ads are fine as long as it is a blog with a few ads and not a giant ad with a little bit of blogging. So far I think you have a very tasteful balance and I still enjoy reading your blog. The photos from your trip are breathtaking!

I think blog ads are fine as long as they don’t strip the attention of the blog. Like 95% ads and 5% non-ads. In which case, people have a choice. To come or not to come.

I think you’ve done a great job. They don’t distract from your writing.
