If anyone seriously sees any ads that offend, please email the exact title of the website being advertised and I can contact Google to have them removed (I hope) for good. What ads one person sees may vary from the next person, so don't assume someone else (or Brett and I) have seen the ad in question.
Also, just for the sake of full discloser and honesty, the ads are intended to appear in places that will be seen the most because we get paid a small amount for "impressions." Impressions are defined by the ads appearing on your screen. We make a couple of pennies for every 1,000 impressions. In the event that someone decides to click an ad, we get a boost in revenue (i.e. a couple of dimes).
So, Brett and I will continue to find ways to incorporate tasteful ads in spaces that are unobtrusive for you, the readers. The point of the ads is to pay for the domain name fees and whatnot that it takes to keep this place running. If we make a small profit over the course of a year, then great that's a bonus, but I will never exploit the loyalty (and friendship) I have with most of you in order to try and make a few extra bucks. That is one of the main reasons I decided to leave my previous place of blog-ployment.
So, please be a part of the process of making this place better and better every day by keeping the feedback coming. We really do appreciate it.
