Why Are Ads Displayed On This Site?
By default, KenLindsay.com displays ads on most of its pages.
These ads offset the costs of hosting the site. The ads are
obtained through Google's
AdSense program and are chosen automatically by Google based
on the content of the page. If no applicable ads are available for
a given page, Google displays a series of public service ads.
Ad Alternatives
There are alternatives to including ads on a site, as I'm sure
you already know. You can ask for donations through the Amazon
Honor System or via PayPal. Or you can charge subscription fees to
view "premium" content. Or you can place glaring image-based ads
on your pages. Or do nothing.
I've chosen to display ads from Google's AdSense program and
ask for donations. You get access to a lot of good, free content
this way. Hopefully the ads won't be annoying: if Google's
algorithms are working correctly, the ads will be very relevant to
the information on the page.
How To Thank Me
Whatever you do, though, please do not click on ads
willy-nilly in an attempt to generate more revenue for my site.
Only click on ads that truly interest you. If you want to thank me
for anything, do any or all of the following:
- Send me an email
with your comments. These are really appreciated!
- Buy
one of my books. Even better, post an honest review of one
of my books.
- Read one of my published articles. If you like it, tell the
site that published it that you'd like to see more of my work.
- Visit my Anvil of We the People site.
- Buy some T-shirts from my granddaughter
Reader feedback is always appreciated. Sometimes I'm
looking for new topics to write about, for example, and someone
will send me a question that gives me an idea for an article. It's
hard to write in a vacuum, even if you're an introvert.
