I'm attempting to use the Google AdSense system. You may notice the additional items on my page. While many may consider this as being a 'sell out' proposition, there is something to consider. When some one clicks on an advertisement, we get to learn a little more about the visitor. This could be a positive impact on the figure skating club and could provide direction to future content creation.
As always, when this starts providing more information to me, I will share it on this site.

I have been logged into AdSence, for maybe about 2 days, and I think Google really has a good thing setup.
- Hilton advertisement recognizes that I'm referring to US Figure Skating Association figure skating clubs. (Hilton is a long running sponsor of the USFSA)
- Wisconsin development organizations, underscoring the targeting of my subjects and building their businesses.
- SEO and SMO related businesses
Why I like this is that it seems that Google's system could really work for this website. The task relationship that a person would have when coming to my blog is to find something out and use what they have learned. After learning what they came fore, the fact that there is a link to the Wisconsin Development Corporation may spark some interest in them with that page.
Google has a lot of ways you can customize what add topics to allow/not allow. For instance, I didn't want anything gambling related... so I blocked them.
I could probably go on, But for more information, I suggest the Google AdSense You Tube Channel.
