The first thing I did when I logged into Blogussion after returning from my vacation was take down the 125×125 banner ads on our sidebar. All paid for ads had expired, and all that was left was a few affiliate banners and an “Advertise Here” banner.
When I took the banner ads down, I wondered to myself why I even added them to the blog in the first place. Did I want to make money from my young blog? Or was I doing it because that’s what all the blogs nowadays do?
