Tonight I removed my Google AdSense ads from my blog. I installed it last April as an experiment, intending to leave the ads up for one month. After a month I never took them down, but the results were about what I expected: virtually zero income. Now, a year later, I just canceled my AdSense account with a total earnings of … wait for it … nearly thirty dollars! Goodbye ads!

Making $30 for posting a Google ad isn't bad. Imagine if you bought a share of GOOG at last year's price. But for sure, the "post an ad and watch the $ roll in!" stories are pretty much bunk.
Yeah, I'm not complaining: 30 bucks is 30 bucks. I just don't think it's worth it for the "ugly" it creates.
