@Andy, now that I’m in my third year of the site, I’ve found the work I put into it is MUCH less than the first two. I put in maybe an hour per day total. I make as much per hour as my day job, but with a fraction of the hours (2080 vs 365).

This was a great article and I have followed a similar learning curve to you. I recently looked at my pf blog revenue streams and did a quick comparison with other bloggers. It takes about 1000 subscribers a day (average) before you can start making some decent money from a site. But it is constant work!

Kevin, I’m sorry you feel that way, but I will take it as constructive criticism and keep it in mind for the next renewal periods for some ads.

Honestly, I advertise credit cards because I myself can use them responsibly and try to enforce that elsewhere in my site.

I only promoted P2P for one month, and don’t quite see how that is bad anyway. You have to justify your reason for getting the loan and all parties supposedly win (lenders get interest, you get a lower rate).

And I never said I’m a “Clever Dude with finances”. I often say how stupid I am, thank you very much.

Personally, I think you’ve sold out with a lot of your advertising.

Someone who presents themselves as a “Clever Dude” with finances and who advertises credit cards, debt consolidation, P2P lending, HELs, etc. in my opinion should not be considered a trusted source.

20-Something: If Adwords are those in-content links automatically added like Kontera’s, then count me out. I hate sites who use Kontera. I also hate sites that use previews of the url target when you hover over the link. It gets in the way and provides no value to me.

Actually, Kontera links seem like the author is trying to trick me into giving him clicks. I expect a link in an article to be something given by the author, not some third party. Believe me, I’ve turned down Kontera directly and will do so again and again.
