Because some stuff on my blog has become popular, I freqently get emails from folks who want me to list their site on my blog, or to join some advertising program or affiliate network.
I am a strong believe in the value of online advertising. For example, I am huge fan of Google AdWords. And my company Kayak.com is an advertising supported company.
Yet I have chosen to keep my personal blog to be advertising-free, and to have its content be stuff which I find, vs. stuff which people send to me. Thanks for respecting this decision. :)
(If you like something you see on my site, you can just try kayak.com to thank me, else give some cash to one of my favorite charities. :)
