I’ve come to a decision today. If I find Google Adwords or PayPerPost or any “we’ll pay you for putting our links on your blog” on YOUR blog, I’m blacklisting it. “part of the BlogHer network” = not part of my internet(yes it’s mine!)

You’re selling out.

I’m annoyed because some of the best blogs I read are awash with these(I particularly hate Adwords as part of a post template.)

Now I have adverts in my sidebar, you’ll have noticed, they’re identified as such, but none of these pay me to put them there. They are all sites I personally use and endorse, there may or may not be a requirement to show these links as part of the service. I’d show them anyway(the statcounter one for example). I do not have, and never will have paid advertising.

Sorry if you are losing a reader through this. I’ll keep a list of the blacklisted blogs on another page.

Oh, FF3 is out today, I wonder if it still breaks parkingwars, the beta did.

[edit] all my ads have gone now since I changed template, doh![/edit]
