I added Google ads to my web site in January. Over the weekend my earnings from running the ads tipped over $100, so I should be getting a check by early July. Woo-hoo! I'm rich! Gimme some more of that Internet cash!

Early on, I spent a lot of time trying to customize my ad settings so that pro-LDS products would not be advertised on my site. After a couple of months, though, realizing that I was fighting a losing battle, I gave up and quit trying to block ads from certain domains. I decided it was more subversive to let DearElder.com pay me a few dimes for running their ads than to try to keep them off my site. I'm laughing all the way to the Penny Lane change-counting machine at the Commerce Bank around the corner.
