Having ads on the site.

August 21st, 2006

My brother and I have been thinking of putting ads on our website to see how much revenue we could bring in. While anything we put up would be unobtrusive, the question I have is would you guys be bothered by the ads? If most of you wouldn’t mind, and would still come visit the website, then I would give the ads a try for a period of time before evaluating how it was going. But, if most everyone objected, then we’d most likely not put the ads in. Leave a comment with your response.

  5. well, if you give me a 5% cut of your revenue… i’m sure the ads would be bearable.

  13. I was the one that echoed dave - what do you mean by break even? What about the joy of having a hobby that you do for your own pleasure? what about fighting against corporate America? What about the simple pleasures in life?

  14. haha this is still a hobby, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t make money off of it, or use it to cover what it costs to keep this hobby. :razz:

  15. I haven’t been here in a while, and I didn’t even notice them before you mentioned it.

    Good job on “hiding” them!
