Tracker of Plants

You may be aware that some bloggers make a lot of money with advertising. Not only do they have ads crowding the sidebars, but the most effective and most annoying method of getting clicks, which is often what gets you paid, is to trick the reader into believing the ads are part of the blog by shamelessly placing them the middle of paragraphs of actual information.  I love money

as much as the next guy but have yet to advertise on my blog for several reasons 1)anticivilizationist blogs and their audiences don’t really lend themselves to commerce 2)moral and ethical concerns and 3) the biggest reason, IT’S DAMN UGLY!

Okay, this is actually pretty cool.

I recently wrote an article on Making an Herbal Glycerite for squidoo, one of many sites where you can earn money for content, just to feel it out…and it made me feel like a squirrel on crack.

Head Squid

My article is realtively plain and straightforward compared to, say, this one which is touted by squidoo creators as an excellent example:

I shouldn’t be so hard on squidoo, since unlike other sites, authors can and do donate royalties directly to charity, but visually it just  makes me feel like I live in Idiocracy.
