Matt Zuckerohrer, A Sellout

Blogspot has some interesting features that allow you to plot page visits over the past day, week, month. I was somewhat proud to see I've had over 600 site visits since its inception. My visitation has grown over the past month and even week, and it's not surprising considering I've started throwing around shout-outs. Another cool feature Blogspot provides is monetization using Google's Adsense. Screw the diet, and screw your unimpeded reading experience. I'm making a cash grab! You'll soon see my paltry blog peppered with ads, that ironically, will probably focus on food, grocery stores, and restaurants (considering my regular topics).

Now, truly coincidentally, I just watched Social Network tonight. I must say it will be a bit disappointing if I don't walk away from this diet and blog with an office in Palo Alto and a few hundred mil. That being said, if any money is made at all, it should go towards funding my whole-hog roast with Bottoms Up! appetizers. Unfortunately, after studying some of the Adsense business models, I discovered that 30+ days into my blog, I would have netted roughly $1.50. Unless my readership increases by several orders of magnitude, I assure you the ads won't be around for long.

It's nice to see the comments roll in, and I thank you guys for sticking with this blog. Updating it on a daily basis tends to dilute the quality. I find myself with maybe one interesting story a week, but I've committed to typing out something each day. I'm sure it makes for boring reading, so I'll try to up my game.
