Adding ads
In November of 2012, I began adding Google Affiliate ads in some blog entries. However, I have since moved to using the amazon associates program for affiliate ads.
I never felt like I understood exactly how Google's affiliate program worked. For example, Google Affiliate Ads is supposed to work in this fashion: "When a blog visitor clicks your affiliate ad and makes a purchase, you may earn a commission for referring that visitor." Why does the "may earn a commission" clause mean? What instances would a commission be denied?
I also found that the universe of possible products that I would like to endorse was not covered by Google's affiliate ads. If I did find a product I would like to endorse, it was often selling at a higher price. Using Amazon solves these issues. I can endorse almost anything, and the price is always competitive.
Of course, the proof is always in the sales numbers. I will make (very happy) updates if there is ever any progress on that front.
