I've been wrestling for some time with the idea of using my blog as a source of income. On the one hand, I'm perfectly happy to earn a bit of extra cash. On the other, well, I find that ads tend to accumulate and make a site look a bit cluttered.
I recently signed on with Amazon's web associates thing (both the US and UK versions) and have been tinkering with how to make the advertising links as unobtrusive as possible, so here's what I've come up with.
When I mention an item that you might want to purchase, I'll put a little parenthetical after it that looks like this: (USA UK).
So for example, a couple of posts earlier, I mentioned a song by The Be Good Tanyas, called "Littlest Birds." You can find it on their Blue Horse (USA UK) CD. It's a different version than the one in the video, by the way.
