Unfortunately, I have eight kids, and two in college. I need the revenue.

I write at length on con men of every type, their schemes, scams, and fraud. My blog has no ads, no popups, no bells or whistles of any kind–just large, clearly readable type.

I try to keep it that way because I think my message is too important to be distracted.

I wish more bloggers felt that way. Surfing would be so much more enjoyable in that event.

Ad supported content is a Good Thing. IMV, subscription content tends to attract true believers. Ad supported makes it possible for individuals to find a wide diversity of opinion and analysis.

On the other hand, blinken-ads (flashy animations, etc.) of the sort appearing even within the subscription portion of RealMoney drive me crazy.

Ads are pollution. I block all ads. So I won’t see yours. If you think you have something reasonable to “sell”, charge a fee and start selling.

Blogads.com is also another option, and you get paid a flat fee (no “per click” as far as I know).

You probably would have more control over objectionable content, as well.
