I’ve actually been quite happy with the ads on my blog as of late – many are for Hyatt’s “Big Welcome Back,” which I legitimately promote a million times a day. Then there are some that make me laugh. Take a look at the screenshot Gary took:
Ah, yes, an online course to get a career in homeland security. I’m guessing those that fail this still have a future with the TSA (assuming they don’t have multiple felonies).
With those kinds of ads I expect my ad revenue to be through the roof this month. 😉
I guess I might have to disable my firefox adblock plugin for your site
@ Steve - oh yes, the Adblocker!!! I have that on my firefox too, I don't even remember what it does anymore ;) too bad, lucky :)
@ caelus - I don't know what your situation is, but I have been enjoying (mostly) ad-free browsing by using the Ad-blocker Plus package for Firefox. It is very nice to read web sites without a lot of "noise."

I think this is now due to google showing ads from other networks, so we now are seeing more and more ads that are tracking the sites we visit.
Strange, coz I have never seen an ad on the top of your webpage, even now. Perhaps only visible in American region? But I'm not complaining : )
