Advertising On Adam's Blog?

Yes, it seems that everyone is getting on the Google AdSense bandwagon, and now I am no exception. I'm not actually a fan of advertising, as I usually find it to be intrusive and distracting, with Flash popups and popunders, huge animations, or full page ads that take precious seconds to redirect you to the actual content. But what's wrong with wanting a little money? So I now have an advertisement at the bottom of the sidebar on the right. Statistically, according to Google, this is the worst place to put an advertisement, but that's okay, because I'm not paying for blogspot.com anyways, and I highly doubt this will be a big source of revenue for me. So let me test this out: I've picked the smallest ad size that would fit, and stuck with text-only ads. This should keep the advertisers nice and quiet while you read Adam's blog.

Update: I would also like to point out that most of my readers get this through syndication and aggregators (you should, it saves me a lot of time), which does not have the advertisements, thus the majority of my readers are unaffected. That, and I fixed a spelling mistake.

One particular property of Google Adsense is really annoying me right now. For every 1000 ad impressions I theoretically receive a bit of money. However, over the last week I found out that this is calculated on a daily basis. My webpage (http://www.filefarmer.com/techshows) is currently getting slightly under 1000 ad impressions everyday, but I don't get any impression money! Why can't the 1000 impressions count over a series of more than one day???
