Most of the hits I get from /. are in the Firefox browser, and I assume most of them are using ad blockers and may not even see the ads. Try adding a text-based link to a tip jar (PayPal, Amazon, what have you...) somewhere obvious on your site. Depending on the content of your site, this may actually work.

BTW, I use Typepad and it handled the traffic without any problems. Worth every penny -- and they handle comment spam, too. - Mike I’ve been Slashdotted twice in the past few months, and surprisingly a mention of my blog in the comments generated more traffic (an all-time record) than a story I submitted which had my blog name and link in the beginning.
