So I added them.
Then I saw a couple of ads for items that not only wouldn't I buy, but things that are offensive to me.
So I killed off the ads.
Don't worry. They won't be coming back.
So what if I don't make any money from my essays? I don't care. Every now and again I will get inquiries about rights to use some of my photos and I have earned some money from the blog that way. And I often use this place as a writing exercise for works that I later sell. That's payment enough for me. I can do without ads for obnoxious things--some of them downright vile.
From here on out...just the essays and the photos and occasional jots of works-in-progress.

What was offensive? I applaud your stand, but nothing made me wince. Maybe I missed it.
Don't these ads only pay a few pennies anyway?
Depends on how many times people "click" on them and which ones. First day I earned $2 because someone watched a video that was linked from my site. A couple of days I earned about four cents.
Then the ads started popping up for shit that bugged me. So I killed off the option.
Kirk: It was an ad for gun products. I don't want anything to do with guns in my life. I'll be damned if I'll allow them to be promoted on my blog.
