I reloaded your blog after disabling adblock and barely noticed the ad. I don't blame you for keeping it there. Why don't you have any ads on your C Programming Tips site? I'd be interested in the number of hits that gets compared to your blog.

  The C site does has ads, actually. Far right, right under the Contact Us link. Hits in last 31 days (5 month running CTR avg): http://kennethfinnegan.blogspot.com/ http://kennethfinnegan.blogspot.com/ - 4,574 0.33%CTR http://ctips.pbwiki.com/ http://ctips.pbwiki.com/ - 544 0.14%CTR http://www.ducttape.pbwiki.com http://www.ducttape.pbwiki.com - 1,073 0.14%CTR http://kwf.dyndns.org:5821/ http://kwf.dyndns.org:5821/ - 164 (Mostly script kiddies attacking my Chumby) 0.86%CTR The C tips site was a half-finished project. There was a lot more work to be done and I never promoted it. And yes, all of them are very stale unformatted html pages. Web development isn't my interest or skill, and plain pages like those have never bothered me. Most of it is useful notes to myself, which I think others will find useful. The Duct Tape site actually pays much better than my blog per page view, bringing in 2-3 cents per 1k, where the blog almost never brings in anything per 1k, but the blog pays $0.30-$1.50 per click, where the tape site only brings in 5-15 cents per click, so the blog brings in about 95%, the tape site the next 5%, and the C site brings in 2 cents on a good month.

  I never understood this, what sort of "alpha" male goes on the internet and looks for advice from other people on how to be a man? The first step in being a real man is not looking to others on how to be a man. (Or at least finding a mentor with true character, not Maxim magazine articles and other garbage) I still think your site has a great potential for an audience though, I fell for the same sort of BS when I was a freshman in college. Took me a couple years to undo the stupidity I had come to believe about what being a "man" really meant.

    I'm sure I'll be making some changes as the site grows, but my target demographic is college kids and early adult males.

  Really? Just from my head shot? I think the best you could do was "Damn bro, you need a hair cut, and I hate your brand new glasses" But being rude wasn't even the point though, was it? This is really just blogspam...

    Look bro, quit being so sensitive. This isnt blog spam. That said, I stand by my first assessment. I suck at photoshop, but it appears to me and I bet everyone else, that you fit right in. Nothing to be ashamed about bro. You need to OWN your identity. Just Be you bro: http://www.alphamal.es/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/msft.png http://www.alphamal.es/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/msft.png
