[DIYbio] Blogs and Ads

Hey everyone,
Im going to finally update my blog and move all science posts to my WordPress blog religiously once a week. Before making any changes I would like to get your opinion on the use of Ads in blogs with DIY content. I had the idea to put small science related Ads in my blog to help fund the lab. I would make all the proceeds go toward lab reagents, and keeping the hosting going. If I get enough of a following I may invest in making it a video blog with lights and cameras and all that pro stuff.

I don't want to offend my potential readership with advertisements so its your call as to whether or not I do it. Ill still post to it, but the extra albeit small income would help. My day job does not exactly pay well. Lab slave salary is always low as many of you already know. Heck, I can even post the books so people can see where the blog revenue is going. Total transparency.

So what say you all? Yes science ads or no ads period.

If ads, know of any decent methods of incorporating ads to blogs using a service or method that does not do evil things?

Thanks in advance for the honest opinions. Im really excited to get this show on the road ads or not!
