Today I added advertising to this site. Not a lot, but some. Is this a big deal? Lots of sites have advertising. Lots of blogs have advertising. In fact probably everyone has advertising.
I have resisted the urge to add advertising to this blog since it’s been up for a few reasons. Pretty much the key one is that I frankly don’t get enough traffic. Who reads this blog? My friends (occasionally), potential employers, anyone who googles my name. And I have no desire to piss these people off with a lot of ads for no return.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Today I did join Amazon’s affiliate program though. Why? Because I have recently finished an awesome book, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and I wanted to share this experience with my friends. I thought of writing a review, or atleast a “I recommend this!”.
So does a recommendation comprise advertising? Or is it just content? I could just post a pic of the cover, but why not link it to Amazon? It a badly kept secret that I prefer to do my book shopping on Amazon, and I love my Kindle.
I don’t think I’ll be getting rich off this any time soon, and I will not pollute my blog with a ton of advertising, but I don’t think linking to some of my favourite products is so bad. So maybe I have sold out a little, I hope the two or three of you whom read will forgive me.
