I don't think you need to change your advertising policy at all. There isn't a negative thing I have to say about this site. I like the design, the content is great, and like everybody else I am shocked that its only been around a few months. Keep up the good work. I just started my own website and I hope I can generate traffic like you have been able to. I would also be interested to know what other sites you have. Drop me an e-mail and let me know if you ever get a chance. JD - I think your ads are very unobtrusive and appropriate for this site. I don’t think you need to change your advertising policy at all.

You are providing an actual service to the readers here, and not requiring any direct compensation from any of them. The adds really don't distract, and if they keep a worthy website going (or even just make the pain of running it a little less), then they're completely worth even the small amount of irritation they may cause.

Your articles appear very cleanly, you clearly get your message across, and you're making a good deal of money on the side. Awesome job! Also, I would like to thank you for sharing your information on this post. I'm putting together a site of my own and information like this seems very hush hush.
