Good point about the comments. I think I need to make it a point to visit blogs directly more often

I think I have the same selective blindness–and so do most people, at least among the thousand or so who appear to visit W.a.r. each day; thus the tiny and shrinking click rate. In the end, removing the ads was an aesthetic decision: They’d become clutter. (Hey, if I didn’t want people reading via RSS, I wouldn’t provide a full-text feed. You don’t see the comments, though–and I get great comments some times, often much more interesting than what I have to say.)

I seem to have developed selective blindness when it comes to ads on the web – I no longer see them. Oh, I know they’re there, but I just blank them out so most times I couldn’t even tell you what they’re advertising or what company they’re from. So they don’t bother me – they don’t have an impact at all. (In any case I read this blog via RSS so I’ve never really noticed the ads here, anyway )
