Google AdSense…

Did you notice? I added Google AdSense banners to my site. I would be a fool to say that they’re not too obtrusive. I did try my best to get the color scheme to match my site. What do you think? Am I a sellout?

If you want to know why? What it is I’m trying to achieve. Well, I would like to move this site to a host where I can run a Java based blog. And, if you didn’t know it is about 4x more a month in fees. Lets see if Google can help.

    I think, its your site so you can do with it as you please. If the ads become to much for me, btw so far they are not, I just won’t visit anymore.

    From a technical standpoint I am interested in hearing about what the java blogs offer that other languages do not?

    For me its the content. Now if you had adds with Sandra Bullock, I’d never leave. 😉

    Hey Mark,

    Yes, I guess this is MY blog so I can put ads here if I want to. 🙂

    One thing that amuses me about the Google Ads is what they actually think “makes sense” for a page. I go to a site (javaranch.com) a lot and they push a lot of ranch ads on the site when it’s really a java site. I think it’s funny.

    I am a java programmer by day, and a java hacker/ programmer by night. I have no problems with MT and the other blog tools that are in Perl, PHP, etc, but being a Java guy. I’d just like to use a Java-based blog tool. Nothing more then that…

    And on Sandra Bullock….. I love her…. My wife knows it, and I’m glad to hear you’re a fan of hers, too.

    Erik
