Blog Ads

I'm not talking about ads for my blog, I'm talking about ads on my blog.

I get solicitations for running ads weekly when I get my updates from Lijit and ads are also available through Google.  These ads would run on the sides of the normal blog body and be generated based on a number of factors that I have only limited control over.  It's like having a bill board on the side of my blog. Bloggers get paid for this service based on the number of times readers "click" on the ads displayed on their pages.

I know that a number of blogs that I read run ads. In fact, some of you blog in order to run the ad space. I can't ever remember actually "clicking on an ad from a blog. I have clicked on ads on Facebook and it's pretty much the same kind of thing.

I'm not really concerned about the income this might generate as much as I'm wondering if there is any negative impact.  Don't get me wrong here -- the only reason I'm thinking about it is that I'm curious about the potential income. It's not like I'm in need; just curious about an unused but available resource.

So how about a little feedback?

Try it.
Don't do it.
No opinion.
Something else.

Leave a comment. I'm interested in what you think.
