So, what's with the ads?

FWIW’s Quality Control Officer — that would be Susie — has alerted me to a sudden, huge increase in the number of ads on the blog, and wondered whether I was aware of them. I wasn’t, because they don’t show up on the editing page, but now that I’ve looked … sheesh.

Since signing up for Google Adsense last year, I’ve received monthly payments between $165-$225 a month; that’s a welcome shot to defray the costs of running this blog which, between retaining a webmaster and maintaining my GAR and GMLS memberships to keep access to real estate news runs around $4,000 a year, but not serious money. So I’ll check at the end of the month whether this new tsunami of advertising is actually producing significantly more money, and if not, I’ll ditch ‘em.
