No ads are good ads

I just turned off the ads on my blog. I would like to think that it is mostly because the sort of ads people were getting lately (online dating with oriental ladies, ads to lose weight, or invest in gold bullion) do not sit well with me. (The first is fake, the second misguided, and the third, although probably sensible, appeals too much to people's fear and/or greed.)

But I have to admit that it is probably also a question of sour grapes (as in Aesop's fable): after more than a year of ads, I have earned exactly 0.18 Euros. My soul (and my readers, hopefully) is (are) worth more than that.
