I know there are debates about whether or not to advertise on a blog, since there is a tendency to write about subjects that will draw good ads.  I just try to write posts about theology and technology as I think of them.  Whether or not it makes me any money is secondary.

If anyone is out there thinking about using Adsense, yes, it really does work.  But, remember that your click throughs will probably be below 1% (in my case it is about 0.37%).  With that in mind, you will need to drive some serious traffic to your site in order to make any money.  I’m sure some people get a check every month or two, but it takes alot of pageviews to get that.
