I have been wondering about how to get myself out of Google searches altogether. What's the point of getting all those hits anyway? They don't boost my ego as they once did. Most of them don't read my stuff or ever come back. Is there really enough money in Google ads to make a profit?

For example, the free version of the Opera browser has Google ads, and I bet they get enough hits to make it worth their while. But I don't think the average person is going to be making quick, easy money by slapping a Google ad up there. I am sure some people make money at it.

I certainly understand your distaste for recent commercialization of blogs...I just received an email from a marketing company (very well respected) with a headline: "CASE STUDY: 7 Practical Tactics to Turn Your Blog Into a Sales Machine" I resisted any mention of my business when I first started writing in 2003, but finally caved in to some (hopefully) tasteful referrals to my business. I trust that you, and/or folks like you, will knock me on the head if I somehow succumb to the wave of blatant blog commercialization. I certainly enjoy your writing. Keep up the good work!
