		<description>Yes, put ads on here. Make some money. I&#039;m sure you deserve it. One suggestion though is to only serve ads to search visitors. That way you won&#039;t tick off regular visitors and you&#039;ll also have a stronger click through.</description>

		<description>Simple

Do it!

As long as you don&#039;t end up looking like a directory site, go for it.

At the end of the day (it gets dark), but every little helps!</description>

		<description>Well said, you have basically summed up what my intentions are. I&#039;m still debating the issue but it looks as though sometime in the future I may provide advertising which is non-obtrusive and useful to my visitors. Thanks for your input :)</description>

		<description>OK, I&#039;d like to offer something more meaty than &quot;Thank You&quot;... 
IMHO, successful blogs DO feature some advertising. There is NO way a blogger can spend significant time blogging without some monetary compensation for all that work. And that is usually thru displaying ads.</description>
