you’ll get pocket change

A lot of people talk about starting a blog and making millions from ads.

But think about those click bait stories on Facebook. How long do you wait for the ads to load before you see what that celebrity looked like at 10 years old… and then, who really cares enough to wait?

It makes a website:
look cheap
get off the target of the page and
can send visitors away from the site.
