Blog Monetization Update

It has been about seven years since I chose to allow advertisements to be shown on the blog. This was never expected to provide any real income and was merely an experiment to see how it would perform. 

I disallowed subjects like Politics, Religion, and Porn from running ads since the site is relatively open to all viewers with minor exceptions. I also don't agree with some of the advertisers that would have been pushing their ideals.

You may be asking (though likely not) "how did it do?" The short answer is so far, over seven years it has earned a whopping $8.88, enough for a big name coffee chain latte. 

So why keep monetizing the site? You never know when I might be craving an overly expensive yet sub-par coffee with weird names. That, and I am really curious about ways to generate more views worthy of earning a penny now and then. So far, the ads don't seem to be hurting anything.

There's always the possibility that one day this blog might even pay for a game book or set of dice. 

Another Discount in the TDAAL Store

This time it is 50% off bags for carrying your game stuff.

The discount code is SUNDAYDEAL75

Here is the link.

The least expensive version, while not the most attractive, are excellent for handling the standard sized game books with plenty of room for dice bags, etc.  I usually have two books and a large dice bag in it. Note, you can turn the book sideways and it fits with room to spare.

There are other designs in the shop.

Well, That Was Exciting . . .

Between me being ill and the weather deciding the area needed a big dump of snow, the intended game on the weekend did not happen.

I suppose the snowfall should have been expected since it seems that we get at least one decent accumulation of snow every February, often around the second or third weekend. Hopefully this won't become a cycle of storms like Boston and the Northeast have been pummeled by recently.

At least the rain and warmer temps Sunday helped clear the roads. We even got to play in CaptCorajus' game Sunday afternoon. More on that later.
