I have added ads to see how they work. The revenue will offset the cost of the site. Any net revenue will go to charity. I have also acknowledged my debt to Candidia Cruikshanks and the good people at Wealth Bondage for their tireless efforts on behalf of a better world according to money. Links to the most recent 10 posts are now displayed on the right hand sidebar. My hope is to improve communication between those in Wealth Bondage and the world of philanthropy. We have The Bradley Center for Philanthropy and Civic Renewal at Hudson leading the way for humankind. And we have the Philanthropy Round Table facilitating giving within the enlightened worldview of wealthy business people. But, in my estimation, the best role model for Stragegic Philanthropy on behalf of the interests of wealthy people (and therefore the world at large) remains Candidia Cruikshanks. Her social venture, Wealth Bondage, is both self sustaining and self serving in a major way. I may be biased, though, since Candidia sometimes throws me a bone from her table. So, when Candidia asked for a little recognition on Gifthub, I was happy to sit up and beg, rollover, fetch, and lick her boots. You would do the same in my position. Who are we kidding. Giving is all about getting ahead. It is what makes the world go round.

The problem with giving is the getting ahead part.

P.S. I have some suggestions for your ads if you are interested.

Jane, thanks. My choices are to include or not. I am averse to advertising supported media, and will probably get rid of the ads unless they serve some nonfincial purpose, if only by way of irony. If it were possible to highlight worthy causes in an automated way that would be great, but I don't know how to do it.

Where and when will said ads show up on the site?
Posted by: Gerry | August 22, 2005 at 03:35 PM
They are their now, on the right hand sidebar, at the bottom of the listings.

Ahh, I see now. A nice out of the way place, probably not what the advertisers would want, but they're not exactly paying for placement, are they?
Posted by: Gerry | August 24, 2005 at 02:18 PM
Probably the better the placement, the higher my revenue. Long term, I would rather stand on a street corner and play a kazoo for tips than accept corporate ads, but I would like to see how they work, since they are getting to be such an easy and accepted thing to do in blogging.
