I have an account w/adsense from Google. If you don't know what that is, it's a way for vendors to pay to have their sites/stores etc. advertised on various sites.
The cool thing is the script looks at all the content on the page and then displays ads based on what it feels relates to the content.
You may have noticed many camping and tent ads showing up, well, that's because of all the 'tent' and 'camping' words used on a particular page. If we all of a sudden started talking about cars on a particular post, after a while, car ads would start showing up.
This script will help the site earn money to paying for itself. Right now, we barely get a few cents a day so it's not doing much for us but when we get real popular, it just might pay for the domain name and hosting charges, which would be nice.
I know many don't like to see these ads, so I just changed the way this is being displayed, you now have the option to collapse the section with the ads if you don't want to see them. Just click the minus sign at the far right, in fact you can do that with many sections already.
