Let me explain: regular readers will be aware that I give back to society every day by working in an advertising agency (an industry in which one does well not to take oneself too seriously). As we spend quite a lot of time giving people on advice on, for e.g., "web strategy" and suggest they do things like "banner advertising" and what-have-you, I have decided to see how it works "live" and from the consumer-interface-first-hand-experience/experiential widget clickthrough type dimension. (So far, so good: I press some buttons and then apparently the Google will send me a cheque. Result!)
In the meantime, if you want to know what Andrew Lloyd-Weber and Clive Owen thought of this blog and how much Will Self likes me, scroll up and down a bit on the right.

Hmmmm... either I happened to miss the whole thing or Firefox's rather brilliant ad blocker plus is doing its thing so well there isn't even a trace. However, I've never quite understood why it's a bad thing to make a penny or two off your own excellent writing?

Ah, there they are, the ads. Funnily enough, at the moment they are advertising engagement rings.

So how about you start paying us for our opinions? Assuming the pay rate is high enough to justify our paying you 35p up front...
No, I will not pay you for your opinions.
I am however going to take the ads down. They are VERY annoying, and very cheap.
