To Ad or Not to Ad!
November 18, 2006
Now I am no ad hater. In fact I am an ad appreciator. I don’t mind ad subsidized weblogs like Tech Crunch, the information produced by these sites take hundreds of thousands of hours of research, travel fees etc.. In fact most of my favorite companies are dependent on ad revenue. But can someone please tell me why people think it’s ok to post ads on personal blogs? That’s like advertising on business cards or resumes. Or worst yet tattooing goldenpalace.com on your forehead.
The Excuse:
I have to recoup my web hosting fees.
The Solution:
Get a free one. There are tons of free web loggers use one. I know I know you’re saying…
Well they have ads well they’re providing a service that they should be compensated for.
The Excuse:
Time is money and I need to be compensated for my time.
The Response:
If you want to make money blogging, create a business. Blog about something beneficial, but keep your personal blog separate.
