   Hi,

   What happened to your blog? Ok, I’m not a big fan of the new design but I can live with that. But this page is plastered with GoogleAds. All the ads together probably make up 90% of the page. Looks a bit out of balance to me with only one line of real content.

   I’m wondering if the irony in Alex’s comment was intentional or unintentional… and I’m also not sure which way I find it funnier :)

   Hey Alex,

   Are you visiting my page from Google Reader? The reason I ask is that I do paste alot of ads when the referrer is from Google. Google searches generates a lot of traffic, so I tend to up the ads a bit when the referrer is Google. I never considered that traffic from Google Reader, so I will update my algorithm to ignore Google Reader traffic. People coming from Reader are regular visitors and should not have to see the other ads!

   Hi Jim,

   I see. Yes, I’m using Google Reader. Looks much better, if you visit the site directly.

   Thanks
   Alex

   Alex, I have updated my code so if you visit from Google Reader, the Ads are minimal!
