BlogAds Dumped Me

I've had BlogAds for a long time, and I liked them. I never got any money from them, but I liked thinking that I was helping a small business or individual advertise. I've let friends advertise on there for free, even.

Apparently, however, BlogAds didn't much like me. Why do I think that BlogAds didn't like me? Because they dumped me.

I got an email from Christopher, of BlogAds, informing me that I've been ditched because BlogAds didn't like their placement. He sent me an example of a blog with proper placement, and it was exactly the same placement I had. I've moved the BlogAds spot all over my sidebars, imitating the placement of other blogs' BlogAds, and I guess nothing was good enough.

Yesterday, I got a check from them, so apparently I've been cashed out and discarded. I feel so. . . cheap. And, ridiculous though this may be, sad.

Being discarded is never any fun, even when it's total strangers whose directives made no sense, and the loss really makes no difference in one's life.

Goodbye then, BlogAds. I'll remove your icon from my sidebar since you don't want me any more.

I would have advertised almost anything for you, if only you had asked me. But you didn't ask me.

Got BlogAds? You'd better check your placement. I moved mine all over the sidebars for them, but it was never good enough. That's how they getcha.
