It’s a shame I’m so late to the party, I have some thoughts on this. Considering the state of Weblogs Inc. around the time this post was made, I would have reminded Calacanis that he’s not building now, so much as growing, which means he has more to lose than he did five months ago (circa ’05.) That ought to weigh heavily on decisions like this. The last thing you want to do is stunt your growth with such great potential.

The network, even at its size in 2005, had leverage that smaller networks and individual sites do not: the availability of sites on which to trial new ideas. What were the numbers back then, 70 or so blogs? There must have been a few that would have stood to benefit greatly from the potential gain in ad clicks while having the least amount to lose inside the network from upsetting users.

It’s still a good theory today, too. So long as you mitigate your risks, anything is worth trying at least once.

I wonder what Weblogs pulls in today from ads..

I’ve been seing ads in between content for some time now in other websites. Most of it have been picture ads like those in Cnet. But having adsense text ads in between content should be ok for smaller sites and not big ones like Jason’s. Just my 2 cents.

There certainly is a fine line between having well positioned ads and creating spaces for ads that just make an ugly or hard to manage site. I personally don’t like the ads that run in the middle of the comments section. It’s a little distracting as a reader and in my opinion it’s almost as bad as asking for clicks. (which you can’t do) But I certainly don’t stay away from nor does it discourage me as a reader, I have no problem skimming by. So I say, whatever works. Like everything, trial and error will produce a good working model for a Bloggers particular audience.
