There's two things I'd like to point out about this picture. One, I hate ads. Even "tastefully" done ads by Google Ads (which is who does the one on the side there). Secondly, that ad creeps me the hell out.So instead of focusing the creepiness, I think I'll talk about Ads and 4PlayerPodcast. We've been told multiple times, you guys should put up some ads. Start making some money. As much as it is a dream for us to quit our day jobs and do just this, I don't think it's going to happen by just putting up some ads on our blog. It's going to take a lot of work and sacrifices. To create something special and different we're going to have to do something special and different. We can't just be any old website and follow the normal procedures.
From spending time with the community at PortCon, I know we're on the right track. We have a great community. I've been told multiple times from JTV that our chat room is polite and helpful. I'm not sure if we ever officially thanked everyone for contributing to the E3 fund. But THANK YOU!
There is something different about our community. We are not the internet stereotype. We're not a drag on the internet society. More than anything, that it what is most important.
Thank you Stephanie, Jerry, Alex, Caroline, Trey, Joe, Ricky, Oswaldo, Nick and Joseph.
I will promise you, if there is a way to make a website without using blog/forum ads, I will find it.

I'm wondering why you picked that particular ad...
It's pretty easy to make a website without ads.
The only problem is that you would have to maintain the server (and maybe bandwidth) costs just off of what you make each month. Coupled with bills and everything else, I doubt it'd work very well.
Although, if you could find someone that already has a webserver and there's no bandwidth cost, you could set up a site with them, provided they're willing to help you out.
At any rate, the blogspot is fine. It could use some color, but it's fine as-is.
Yeah that ad is pretty damn creepy. I half imagine a warehouse somewhere with beautiful Asian women in cages. >_>
Also you're welcome for the E3 support. I helped out with alittle bit. I'm kinda on hard times, but you guys provide alot of entertainment for when I get home from work. So keep up the good work with the podcast and the feed. ^^
Are you making money from showing those ads in your blog post?
I agree with Nezz. I think blogspot is a great website for you guys to be now. Further down the road, you may need something a little more flashy, but I like how intimate blogspot feels.
Keep on keepin' on, guys. :D

Do you have an address?
I emailed you a way to make money along time ago david but you never read it.
Amazon have some pretty good advertisement services, you can make them alot more descrete and relevant than just some crappy banners on the side. Their affiliate program allows you to make make much more focused advertisements, you can set it up to advertise specific products. So you could recommened games and give a link to buy it or have the advertisements on the end of reviews to buy that game. You can make a commission on any sales they get from people who follow the advertisements/links.

Not sure how it works in America, but in England you have to apply for the service though, and they decide whether your site is worthy or not. It shouldnt be too hard for you guys to get accepted though, if you wanted to give it a try.
I just remembered something, the 4PP community is awesome
Ow, my heart. :[ I'm not part of the 4pp community?

If you have a domain and a server get e107. It's free and works great. I use it on my own on site.
