I’m a bit confused about the term ” blogging for dollars.” Does it mean, one can earn dollars from bloggin. Ha-ha! you got to be kidding me dude.

I’m not a fan of any of the ads — either adsense or GoogleAds — due to the visual clutter.

They are a distraction to what I am trying to accomplish with the blog — influencing the debate, education, and personal archiving.

IMHO, the amount of money ads might generate won’t offset the distraction of the ads. If i did this for a living, or alternatively, if it thru off $5-10k a month, that might be worth the trouble. For now, I’m happy with the traffic and the cleaner design

The one surprise I found was that the books I mention generate the astounding sum of about $35/month via Amazon, but that doesn’t even pay for the books mentioned/reviewed.

Thanks for the link Darren. I should note that the Wealthy Blogger ad placement is largely thanks to Darren’s advice (here and on IM). It’s really paid off with this influx of BW visitors ;-)
