So as you will have seen, I no longer have ads on my blog. I felt it was a valid experiment but they are ugly and while clearly I never expected at all to make serious profits the amount of money generated was tiny.* All I really want is readers, and even then only because I am a writer, not because I have something super-important to say, and I think the ads probably detract from people hanging around to read (unless they are really immune to them). I think I also kind of suspect that the ads make the blog look like it's not actually active anymore, which I suppose most blogs aren't.
So that's that.I'll still give money to Save the Bilby.
*And it did not increase the amount of traffic here.
