“If you decide to generate income from your blog, then don’t be shy about it. If you’re going to put up ads, then really put up ads. Don’t just stick a puny little ad square in a remote corner somewhere. Puny little ads don’t earn money, and big fat ads in the middle of your blog posts look terrible! But if you want to make money as a blogger, you need to make sacrifices.”
