How much money do you make from ads on The Apple Blog?

Four bagillion dollars per day.

I think the design is fabulous and don’t mind the ads at all but then I’m a pragmatist: how long do you think you’d be able to publish without advertisers? — and they won’t buy if they think their ad won’t be seen when placed in some obscure corner

@Patrick, apologies if people took what I said as “yelling”…that wasn’t my intention. More just frustrated with many people’s mindset on internet advertising. So to anybody that wishes to discuss that further, just email me and we’ll chat.

As for me and ad blockers, I most certainly do not use any sort of ad blocker. I respect other publishers desire/need to profit off of their time/effort and so not blocking the ads and helping them just a little bit is the least I can do.

Nice design! I agree on the ads issue, it takes cash-money to keep a massive site up and running. But yelling at your members probably is more detrimental for you the next time they read an article you post.

Either way, very nice design and I love the on-the-fly comment preview. Also Josh, do you use ad blocker when you visit other “content” sites?

In response to the ‘josh’ who left ‘constructive’ feedback. We could be an F-grade mac news site for all I care. Why is that? Because we aren’t a news site. We’re a content site. We don’t just report news. We report opinions, thoughts, likes, dislikes, reviews, and occasionally news.

to the ‘josh’ who didn’t leave any contact information on his ‘constructive’ comments -
since i can’t email you back, what in your opinion makes TAB a ‘b-grade mac news site’?

We don’t feel like regurgitating every little apple item that you can find on a dozen other blogs – how does that make us stand out? We [usually] try a little harder to put some thought and commentary into the stories we post. I think most of our readers recognize that and come here for just that reason.

Anywho – if you’ve got any actual ‘constructive’ points you’d like to make, ie, things you think aren’t being done to your expectations, please share…

way to go on the design Josh. it’s definitely head and shoulders above V1 and 2.

nice work ….. you have accomplished what I had in my mind into customizing the K2-theme on my italian (and principal) blog.

i’m with the party of “strimmed down” width of the ads ….. they distract too heavily from the main content …
