I'm not terribly interested in money unless there's a lot to be made. I could probably spend a while tuning my ads and such, but ultimately it'd boil down to a lot of boring work, so the payoff would have to be huge.

Right now, it's more of an experiment than a money making endeavor. Depending on what happens through the end of the month, I'll either stop or continue (imagine that….). Like I said above, I don't have high expectations. That's partly because of my unwillingness to expend significant effort, and partly because I don't think my audience is the ad clicking sort.

The page-traffic I get to this site, based on what I can cull from my analytics, is mostly people looking for a solution to a specific problem or a Subclipse/Subversive comparison. Neither case lends itself to spontaneous ad clickage, in general. There is also a large about of feed-traffic which I'm not capitalizing at all, except across click-throughs to the site. There are relatively few of those (except via aggregators), since I intentionally syndicate full entries.

However, if you want results you should check out optimizing the location and color scheme of the ads. undoubtably can make or break ad clicks. Also dropping some inline ads in/on your trackback urls will be a value add.
