Adding Ads

By Daniel Miessler on October 2nd, 2006: Tagged as Blogging | Business | Sysadmin

So part of my big move is going to be putting ads back on the site. Hopefully this won’t get much pushback; it’s really little more than an attempt to recoup the additional cost of hosting the site under the new model.

I also think it adds to the perceived legitimacy of a site to have ads on it. I know that seems kind of weird, but when you go to a site that has a bunch of ads on it you usually think, “this site must be pretty serious.”

Anyway, hopefully nobody will mind the additions; they’re pretty minimal really, with just a column going along the right side in both the blog area and the main content. If you do happen to be annoyed by it then let me know.

    I still preferred the ads when it was a horizontal bar beneath the article. On the side there it pushes content down.

    Well, _I_ don't think that. Nor do I think "This site must be pretty weak" if there are no ads. But, your ads are not flashy or annoying, so I've no problem with them.
