Sky HD (including the BBC HD) need the sky HD box. It’s expensive, and not too brilliant. I can’t notice the difference.

Fuck em. Tell them to get adblock for firefox. It isn’t affecting your layout and you’re getting money for it, then it’s fine :)

To tell you the truth I didn’t notice the ads until you mentioned them. I think I’m partially blind when it comes to them since I’ve visited far too many sites which douse themselves in desperate plea’s for moolah. I can understand your reasons and they don’t make a drastic impact upon your layout or the general quality of your site!

Aw, poor Smudge! My cat Billy was run over (by my dad, on accident - long story), and we had to keep him confined for a couple of months whilst his leg healed. We made this little roofless cage for him and he used to escape with his leg cast and all! So many memories of us having to capture him using our coats - angry kitties can be lethal when they are perched on fences!

In regards to your comment on my website, my boyfriend, Mike, has a tonne of helix piercings which don’t look too painful after they’ve healed but tragus piercings look cringe-worthy. His sister had one which looked really cute but it looked really painful - funny because I’m not the sort of person to be squeemish about that sort of thing (I tug Mike’s piercings all the time, it’s a wonderful passtime).

On my website, I do paid postings, but not FREQUENTLY. I also use blogtoprofit, which I think is great, but I hate the fact that you only have one day to complete one post; ex. 5 days to complete 5 posts. It ruins the order and makes the blogging such a nausiance, and hectic. I wish they’d give a few more days =/ I completely agree; I think ads would be fine if you just don’t overdo it and make your site seem like a money making site, when it’s a personal site. (I don’t mean personally you when I say you, but people in general :) )

Lovely site! And pictures!

Actually, I didn’t notice the ads until you mentioned them in your blog. I don’t think that it effects your layout at all.

I’m honestly glad that you didn’t take my comment about your site out of context and get uppity about it. I truly do enjoy coming to your site, but I’ve just been disappointed as of late with some of the ads being here. I realize it’s your site, so I never said anything to you since I felt that I had no bearing on what should and should not be here because your site != my site! =)

Your ads are obtrusive, it was more so just mentioning that your site started to add ads and not so much that it was ruining the content.

So no hard feelings, I didn’t mean any! :cherries:

[...] person that has been rational and mature in seeing what I said, since I just read her entry, “Ads, Smudge and a fuck off huge TV!” where she asks her readers for their opinion about the [...]

*DOH* Unobtrusive! That’s what I meant!

Your advertisements are fine and there’s nothing wrong with monetizing your site. Without advertisements half of the webs content would never be found I don’t know why so many people have issues with adverts.

The pop-up/pop-under dirty ones I can understand as no one wants things thrown in their face but normal adverts placed on sites is no different than linking someone.

Sure you make money from it but just like with your blogroll or any other text link you put up for viewing it’s helping someone get their site out there.

Besides it’s not like you have a super giant ad dominating your page and it’s not like you’re just using your site for money. That’d be a different story so don’t worry about what that person said you’re doing nothing wrong ;)

I’d say your ads are very unobtrusive and actually I didn’t even notice them at first!

Small text ads rarely annoy me but a website plastered with them is a big no-no. And Pay per Post is a whole another story. I hate PPP and I hate web log entries that are sponsored by PPP because they are all the same, just link after a link to websites. Now, I’m sure some people manage to write interesting PPP entries but I have yet to find one

Kathy - I know what you mean thats so stupid, its like your being forced to blog and I like to wait a few days for the impact of smudge being in a cage for 4 more weeks to sink in to the blogosphere!

Jordan - I very rarely take anything seriously!! I just took it as constructive criticism!

Melissa - ew popups! I hate them but their less common now thanks to popup blockers etc. thank god!

BBC HD is free but theres (well when i was in the uk) fek all on it worth watching!

HD is currently only worthwhile if you watch sports or are prepared to pay the 5 or 6 grand necessary on the rest of the equipment including the tv!

give it a few years!

glad to hear smudge is on the mend but dont your parents realise he’ll get eaten in crazy lands like that!!

I hardly noticed the ads on your site :P I don’t think it’s a big deal to have text link ads, but sites that consist mainly of PPP or BfP links/ads irks me.
Glad to hear that your cat is doing fine! But it sucks that she will have to stay in that cage for 4 weeks. Is there any way she’ll be able to walk around a bit, or will she be stuck? Just wondering. :blush:

42″ plasma TV :love: I’m trying to convince my mom to buy one for us, but she still refuses to get one :crazy:

These smilies are absolutely adorable :lovechicks: I love them, they’re so cute :P

If anything you need more ads. That way you can buy me a jeep.

“She needs to run around and eat mice, its what she does, its so cruel keeping her in a cage, but it is for her own good.” - no WAY! I said the exact same thing about my sister the other day!

Your TV makes me smile and giggle!

I don’t think the ads affect your site. I think its all looks good you can’t even tell. Nice TV too.

You have moved your ads from the top to the bottom since my last visit so now I don’t see them as the very first thing so I am not affected at all :)

The link to your MB doesn’t work
Animals who had surgery is awful. My dog had to wear one of those things around her head until the stitches was completely gone after a sterilization and she became all traumatized from wearing it. I hope your cat will cope better of course :)

I don’t think the ads are obtrusive. It’s not even distracting. So yeah, it definitely merges with the whole website. I think it’s actually a smart way of putting ads. Singapore isn’t as hot as it seems. Be afraid, be very faraid if you’re going to travel to my country at this time of the year. because you’ll melt, no doubt. And they won’t find even a lick of trace of you. *lol*

heyy! just wanted to tell you that voting in my SOTM has begun! good luck ♥

You know what irritates me more than the adverts? The stupidly tiny text size for comments/in your sidebars :S

Sorry, I know this isn’t a “criticise eruanna.net” entry really :3

Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! dedffzlrdf
