Opt In: Adds


-The cost/benefit decision on hosting adds is to gain money, having commercial companies pay for space on a site. This can potentially repel some viewers of the site.

-The goal of my blog is to show what I know. Hosting adds would not support that goal because I have no intention to make money; I take an interest in engineering because I enjoy it, not because I want to make a profit. Adds would detract from my blog because it would make it look more like a corporate idea than an interesting one about facts.

-A person makes money off of adds on blogs by hosting them. When people click on them, they get more views and that causes commercial companies to pay. I guess the conditions that would support monetizing my blog would be trying to advertise something having to do with engineering and certain ideas I might, in a rare circumstance, come up with.

  1. Hi Gabby, I'm definately not interested in seeing adds when I check your blog so your analysis resonates with me.

    That said, i do hope you can make some money off engineering down the road. Pay is a recognition of your contributions!
