I understand that people are in it for the money, but content has to come first. If three or four posts go by and I don't see anything but self-promotion, I start to lose interest. I think one promotional post every five or six posts is a reasonable number. It establishes that if I am willing to sit through the occasional pitch, I can find plenty of value at the site.

I still haven't added any ads to any of my blogs because I was under the impression that I needed 100 unique visitors per day before they would be worth the effort. It may be time to evaluate those options once again. Kathryn Thanks for the breakdown – it gives me much more to work on.
