the ads that end up running on my blog are all over the place because my content is all over the place. fallout shelters, which i talk about a lot, attract some interesting ads (at least my zombie paranoia is only in second life . . . well, for the most part)

i suppose that ads on blogs reflect more on the perceived value the readers of that blog portray. i use dooce.com as my poster child example. she writes a post daily and has McDonald's are her one big sponsor. in fact, it may be the only ad. but that brings her $40K a month (lol, not Lindens, the real USD)

another blog i use as example is doshdosh.com, mainly for those looking at how to monetize their blogging efforts. Maki (at doshdosh) writes very informed and helpful posts on everything from affiliate programs (like threadless which will pay you like $4 or 5 for any t-shirt sold via your ad) to how to blog effectively

i'll go to her post now and check out Dreamwidth. it's a neat name and I want to see how it compares to hosting your own blog. thanks for the interesting read =)
