12:25 pmRun To Win Website
I am playing with my ad scheme on the site. I will no longer be showing ads on the current days posts, and will be showing more ads on things that are more than a month old or so. I am going to play with how that all works over the next few weeks, but the general plan is to not bother the people that check the site every day.

Keep us informed how this goes…will be interested in your findings for my own blogs / sites.

Well, I can not really go in any direction but up, since I do not make anything currently anyway. The main reason for doing it this way is to keep from annoying the people reading recent content.

I’m not sure that your regular readers find the ads all that annoying as they are - I certainly don’t. I suspect a lot of people just ignore them when they read current posts.
Is most of your traffic from people reading current posts, or older ones?

About 10% to 20% are current posts depending on the day. Right now there aren’t any ads for today and yesterday, and then as they have been for all the older posts. I will probably put more ads on the ones more than a month old, unless somebody clicks through from somewhere else on the site and then it will be as it is now. It seems to be a happy medium.
