After some deliberation, I decided to include Google Adsense on my blog. Making money on a blog has never interested me particularly, I am much more concerned with generating something useful, interesting, and fun for me and people who share my interests.
But I was swayed by a friend who uses Google ads on his blog. He convinced me that this could provide me with some capital that I could reinvest in the blog itself, adding features like a registered domain, etc.
Anyway, this will definitely improve the quality of this blog by providing me an incentive to post faithfully.
