After Neil posted his adsense earnings I *really* got motivated to start displaying some ads on this page. LIke Neil I do get quite a few hits to these pages, mainly from google searches for technical answers so the way i figure it is that if I’m providing content for google then they may as well pay me for it (in some small way). We’ll see how it goes. At least if I (or you readers) don’t like it then I can take it off. As for the regular readers I doubt it will make much difference to you as you are using rss readers aren’t you?
