James Sherrett did a great presentation at this year’s Northern Voice, which led to my decision today to remove the ads from my personal blog.
I think that you can’t be a “little bit” commercial. You can be commercial to some extend (more or less), or non-commercial. And if you’re non-commercial, you shouldn’t be adding Google Ads to it. Be pure. It’ll feel better.
I learned a lot from implementing Google’s AdSense on this site, and I have taken that knowledge and used it on clients’ sites, and I now have a lot of other places I can use to learn more, and so I’m happy to be reverting this blog to its original condition.
You can scroll right easily by holding down the SHIFT key and using your scroll wheel. (Firefox users trying this will end up jumping to old Web pages until a) Firefox releases a fix, b) they change their settings like so.)
