I saw one friend's sight which was practically dedicated to nothing else but ads and a few posts. It made things difficult to read and I've avoided her blog ever since. I guess this is why I decided to eschew ads on my site entirely. Anyway, the possible money i may get from ads arent the point of my blog site. Its to try and make a difference one word at a time. And to me, that is what is important. Not money, not ads and not becoming a millionaire-blogger. Although I am new to this blogging game, i wholeheartedly agree with your thoughts on ads.

For the doubters, just ask Google how a great product can replace any need to advertise. Amazingly well written.

All of the conversations I've heard recently about putting content instead of those little programs that will end up making you a few $'s, have made me reconsider my stance on such programs, and things like BlogRush in the end may just not be worth the few clicks they bring to your site. Excellent food for thought. Great article Travis.

Blog saturation is ridiculous- without really relevant content you've got no chance. Especially in the future. I've been in the research phase of a new blog for months now. It's got to be valuable or bust. I'm going to adopt that goal: to create and enable. Thanks for passing on the late night inspiration. Such important advice.

FreelanceSwitch does a fantastic job integrating their advertising, which relates to their market.

Even some of the big sites (TechCrunch) can hurt their appearance with lackluster advertising.

If that were case, how come the most popular blogs are plastered with ads? The right type of advertising integrated correctly can actually enhance your brand by making it look similar to the top tier sites.

I totaly agree. Advertising is not going to change anyone's life. Even if you are a lucky person who can support yourself via advertising on a blog, it's very time-intensive work. You can't even take a vacation without covering every day. So advertising is not an end-game for very many lifestyles. Blogging can change your life if you know how you want your life to change. Blogging can open doors, but the hard thing is not to blog, the hard thing is to know the door you really want to open. Penelope Hey, Travis. I totaly agree.
