Okay it’s time for a little bit of an experiment. As you have probably noticed, I’ve had those little ads up on the top of my blog for quite awhile now. Or maybe you haven’t noticed – ads tend to really get ignored, at least by me. Stocks are cool.

In the 2 months or so that I’ve had these up (and I’ve had them up on a few of my other pages, like my Civ 4 pages), I’ve had 1758 page impressions and 39 clicks, earning a whopping $2.60. I’d imagine many of those clicks came from me, just testing things out. The program is smart enough though to figure out if the same computer clicks all the time, so it ignores me if I click from this computer and not credit it. Real estate is very smart though. I love real estate

So a friend of mine was showing me his stocks website over the weekend and told me to click an ad for him. That one made him like $1.25 or something. So it got me thinking that if I put a post on here that talks about stocks and real estate, that I might make a few bucks. You may have noticed my pseudo-subliminal messages about stocks and real estate. That is in hopes of getting some stocks or real estate ads to show up.

So now it’s time for the experiment. READ THIS PART. (That’s for if you’ve tuned out the rest as I know you all do when I start talking about other boring things). Please find the ad section and find one that looks nice and juicy – about stocks or real estate or whatever and click on it. I will report back later.

Edited to add – it didn’t really seem to work very well – all I get is an ad about celebrity blogging.
