Selling Out
I decided to try this Google Adsense thing you see to the right to recoup some of the fees involved with running this site. Every blogger seems to be shoving their Party affiliate links down their readers' throats to pay for their sites and maybe make a little extra on the side. But since just about everyone who is reading a poker blog already has accounts at every site worth playing this seems to be more trouble than it is worth to me. So rather than beg people in every post to sign up for something that they probably already have anyway (as about 82 other poker bloggers do) I am going to mix in some unobtrusive text ads. Will it even pay for my server costs? I doubt it. But it is an interesting experiment.
I have had the Amazon ads on the left ever since the blog began and they have racked up a mighty $2 in ad revenue for me. I don’t care if they never make another cent anyway. They are there more as recommendations. Actually nobody has ever purchased one of them through the links, but some people clicked a link then bought something else from Amazon so I still made a couple beans. I wonder if I am going to have to claim that $1.92 on my taxes.
