The question is why one blogs in the first place. I didn't do this to get rich, but to get an audience where mutual respect might be fostered. Still, I like having ads, because barring that audience, it would be nice to get a little something extra from writing daily. I dunno.

I've been pondering a few options lately - it'd be nice if a high-traffic site of mine could pay for its own bandwidth. But I'm not really sure. Guess I really want to know about conversion rates.
