Yani bir yıllık bedel olan 30 $’ı ödüyorsunuz ve yazılarınızın içinde WordPress’in kazanç sağladığı reklamlar çıkmıyor. Bence profesyonel blogger’lar için gayet güzel düşünülmüş. WordPress [...]

But I don’t really want casual visitors to see ads either. So I have stumped up the $30 for a year of no ads. Thanks for all the feedback.

I tried that and now I see the ads:

I think I will pay the $30. Thanks.

Mostly its folks who fall in through searching. For example, if you log out, clear cookies, and then Google [WordPress.com ‘no ads’ upgrade] your site is #5. Clicking on it gets ads for me.

This is more of a factor for my blog than for yours, I am guessing, since a major portion of my blog’s traffic is ranking for commercially relevant queries. As such, I’ll be dropping the $30 ASAP.

Remind me to start writing again someday, too ;)

The reason I don’t host this blog myself is:
1. Laziness. I don’t have to worry about keeping the software up to date. WordPress does that.
2. Capacity. I don’t think my own server would have handle the 56k hits in a day that the ‘software awards scam’ got.

But I am prepared to switch if circumstances dictate.

Even if WordPress did start showing ads, I doubt I’d even notice them. They’re so ubiquitous that they blend into the background.
