Having Ads on a Blog

• Cost: Ads are annoying, and mostly everyone thinks that. However, not all ads are annoyinbg and ads on the side of a blog are not so intrusive.
• Benefit: Hosting ads ona high-traffic website cna be a nice source of extra money. I have personally put ads on another one of my blog, and you apparently gain around 50 cents for each ad clicked. Whille this might seem like little, it can really add up, and I've heard of people earning about $50 from having their ads clicked.
• Goal: For some, it might be to make money. Ads in this case would be awesome. For others, it could just be to post about something they lovea nd stay in touch with fans. Might even be a bit of both, but in most cases I think that there's almost nothing wrong with adding ads.
• How others make money: Google runs a service called AdSense. Advertisers pay Google for them to put their ads on the many services that Google runs. Depending on how much people click on ads, Google will give a certain amount of money to the advertiser. They also give a cut to the person who is hosting the ads, because of their promoting these ads.
• Verdict: Ads are a great way to make money on your blogs, and I just recently added ads to one of my blogs. The benefits far outweigh the problems from a money making standpoint. From a keeping your clients happy standpoint, it might make them a bit more unhappy but ads on blogspot aren't that intrusive. In the end, ads are worth it and I don't see an big reason why you wouldn't want to try ads on your blog.
