Kind of throws a whole new spin on things now doesn't it? I wonder how many other folks actually think this way? Probably as many as those who think there is a scheme behind everything. Maybe more considering the rampant use of PPP and the like. You and I suffer the same problem then. The desire to monetize but we don't want the ads to be noticeable. A but of a conundrum isn't it?

While I have ads on my blog I try to limit it so that the focus of any post is the post itself and not the ad. Meaning, visually, I hope that the ads don't overwhelm the content. That said there is a total opposite side to ads on blogs. I read a recent post by a prominent blogger that says he assumes everything is commercialized. Meaning, if a blogger writes about Pepsi he assumes the blogger is getting paid by Pepsi (one way or another). This doesn't mean it's true, just that it's safer to assume it is than not. I was rather surprised to read that - I guess it's the type of blogs I read, but with PPP and other review me schemes maybe this is a good attitude to have...? I struggle with this myself.
