Alvin : Wow why aren’t you celebrating 200k views?
Me: I know I know if I only had a $1 for each view.
Alvin {Thinks}: Be real even 1c would be OK.
Alvin : So why don’t you have Ads?
Me: No simple answer there. First I don’t like pop ups and Ads. Second I did try to monetize the blog with the Google's AdSense but I was disapproved (for a strange reason? My blog was considered unsuitable!). At the time a troll/lowlife was skimming off my blog posts and posting them unaltered on a site that looked like a legit camera review web site and it had Google AdSense ads but it the content all totally fake (thanks to copyscape for helping in this research) . However Google was clearly paying him for my content. Didn't seem fair at the time. After a lot of investigation and DCMA notices, with the troll changing the countries hosting his rip-off website many times the hassle eventually stopped. I also wrote to google many times during this period via links in blogger and forums but never once got an answer back about why I was considered unsuitable. So I just lost interest.
Alvin: Ok makes sense but why are you still blogging?
Me: Good Question. I must like it.
Alvin: You mean a fun way to waste your time then? What happened to your enjoying the social media silence?
Me: No comment
