Where's My Jetpack?: Save Us Some Time and Tell The Truth

Truth in advertising would be so cool, even at the lowest levels. I was inspired to create this after stopping at a yard sale this morning.

so what did you buy from them?

btw, do you get paid every time a visitor clicks on the banner ads? let me know, and i'll make an effort to always click before leaving.

I bought nothing, forging through that awkward moment where you wander the tables and then just make an exit.

To date I've made about $96. (Google doesn't issue a check until you reach $100.) I've had ads on the blog and feed for roughly 4 months, so until I reach super-readability, I'd think it's almost a nuisance to the regular visitor, especially the purists who see it as a sell-out. But click away!

$96 in 4 months? you could probably make more money holding a yard sale.

At our tag sale two weeks ago I “marketed” an object from the backyard. Even had one looker too.

And the word verification for this post was “nonse.” I thought it fit the sound of your ad sense low profitability level.

The very concept of truth in advertising is so detached from what we perceive that you could blurt all out truth but we're still conditioned to call bullshit.
