Ads on this blog
After much debate, I’ve decided to introduce ads on this blog. The content of this blog falls outside that of my general marketing consulting site. Most of the people reading it are interested in the blog content, as opposed to marketing consulting services. So I see this as separate from the rest of the website. Moreover, with the thousands and thousands of visits I’m receiving, it makes sense to offset some of the costs.
That being said, if you read my blog posts on the main Vancouver Marketing Consulting Blog page or scroll through my full blog, you won’t see ads. You’ll only see them if you visit the page for an individual article (such as this one). That way, most of the people seeing ads are people coming in through search engines, not regular readers.

May I recommend adjusting the background colour of the Google ad to match the grey background colour of the entry? It’ll probably double your clickthrough rate.
