I have decided to take down all Adsense and Kontera code. I personally am not earning anything but about $1 a day from both combined. This is still a new blog, and I started it out all wrong. I want to build up readers before I decide whether or not I want to try and earn some money from advertising. Right now I’m just going to focus on one thing. Blogging.

I think other bloggers out there should think about doing the same. If you have a relatively new blog, don’t slap some adsense code into it. Nobody likes seeing ads, and unless you have a fairly large amount of traffic, you’re not going to make very much from them. Now, on the other hand, more popular blogs can make tons of money from just 1 or two blocks of code, but here’s the thing, when you have a high traffic website you actually make money instead of just “trying”.

If you feel the same way, voice your opinion. Wouldn’t it be great if the next big viral blog buzz had to do with the taking down of ads. I’m not saying that Ads are a bad thing, I’m just saying that you have to know when to use them and when not.

When I visit a site for the first time, and I notice that it’s new, and it has a slew of ads all over the place, I almost unconsciously  click the Stumble button. Just something to think about if you’re starting a new blog, or you already have a blog and trying to gain traffic. Taking down your ads could be a big turn on to your readers.

So give my site a look, subscribe to my feed, but don’t look for any ads to click on.
