I've decided not to runs ad, for now anyway; although I do like the Feedburner advertising I've seen on some blogs. It's very subtle...but I wonder if it works? I'm holding fire on this for now. I may revisit it in March, after one full year of publishing. Again thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I really appreciate it. Thank-you everyone for the advice and guidance.

I'm really poor, after all. Still in college and whatnot, I've often thought bringing in ads might help. But in the end, I decided not to do it. I just couldn't subject my 13 subscribers to that kind of abuse...kidding. I just didn't want to. But you gotta do what you gotta do. I’ve thought about this myself.

His approach is to leave his home page and his RSS feeds uncluttered. Anyone reading an archived post sees ads. His idea is that he protects his loyal readers by shielding them from ads, but that people who find him via a web search, or by going back through past items, have to put up with ads. Seems like a good compromise, but I don't know what kind of cash he brings in. I'll be trying the advertising route soon on a PR blog. It will be interesting to see how that goes, and whether it turns off readers. You should check http://www.darrenbarefoot.com. His approach is to leave his home page and his RSS feeds uncluttered.

I firmly believe that independence is a great thing. No adverts means no clutter, no risk of bias and no risk of competitive activity. On the financial side only you can answer the question of revenue potential. Let's simply go out there and show the market what they are missing out on by not retaining the services of a dedicated, experienced, professional and damned good team to have on their side!

Looking forward to your experiment; I hope you report back on it. My guess is that it won’t generate enough revenue to make up for the clutter (and potential for competitive conflict), sorry to say.

There may be other services that work better. A blog:www.dcrtv.com uses something called "blogads." I do think it would be interesting to see which ads pop up on Strive Notes but I am very interested in reading what others have to say.
