Goodbye Banners

This blog has been around for more than 7 years. During that time I have experimented with advertising banners. For the past month, I added 20 banners from some very reputable companies. The marketing company that deals with webmasters (like me) says that I've had 205,279 ad impressions. Impressive? Maybe, until I see that only 32 people have clicked the banners! Most of the 32 people have been me...testing the links. Needless to say, I sold nothing.

I am not saying that the marketing company is a scam.  I am saying that I am no longer going to waste time with them.

For these reasons, I have decided to dump the "banner farm" approach. If you want to donate money directly...No, keep your money - and keep visiting!

Thanks!
