I just don't see readers paying a subscription for the content I offer, and I'm very attached to being compensated for my efforts. I don't feel good about some of the contextual ads served, but I tend to only filter out those that are just totally irrelevant or just plain harmful. I figure that most people who click on ads are just first-time visitors who might end up at that destination one way or another. I do a combination of contextual ads and affiliate programs.

What I do want to do differently though...is beyond disclosure...I think my brand...to the 800+/- people that see me monthly is more important than making $1500/month selling thesis. And I like (love) thesis.The perception of you erodes into someone that wants to sell 'em something... Thanks for the linkback.
