One thing is if your not really getting revenue from all the ads (which are slow to load, irritating, and annoying) you have to consider maybe you'd make *more* money by making an effort to be completely ad-free. I've made an effort to keep my website ad-free and that sentiment has garnered alot more in donations, that is for sure.

Why not? If you like what you get. Why do you tip in a restaurant? For good service. Same thing here. I donated 5$. Why not? If you like what you get. Why do you tip in a restaurant?

We are in recession, nobody is buying stuff, online advertising revenue is down 40% compared to last year, companies are cutting back their marketing budgets. Nobody will pay you for just visiting a site - you have to buy from one of those sponsors - this is how it goes.

I will bet he doesnt profit a dollar on this site.. in fact he probably spends money monthly on it. you act like the webmaster is making a ton of money off of the ads that you have yet to click on…You know what it costs to run sites like this?

Few readers emailed me and I am giving them a platform to do it.<br> No problem, I did not ask for donations and never will. Few readers emailed me and I am giving them a platform to do it.

If you didn't have so many ads, I'd feel different about donating. No offense, but with all the advertisements on this site, I consider each visit I make to it as a donation.
