I want to thank all of you who are using KIG’s Amazon ad portal to do your Amazon.com shopping. The sales commissions (a/k/a kickbacks) from Amazon’s Affiliate Program help defray the cost of maintaining this blog.

Now, to sweeten the pot, KIG is entering into an experimental relationship pursuant to which it will feature advertising provided by Google. According to Google, once I install its software in KIG’s HTML code, Google will place “appropriate” ads of its choosing on KIG’s site. The ads’ content and placement will be determined by Google. Zombielike, KIG will be along for the ride.

Once the ads start running, KIG will receive commissions based on the number of clicks on ads by readers. So please click away. As Bluto said about beer in Animal House, “Go ahead. It don’t cost nuthin’.”

As I said, this is an experiment, and I would appreciate your feedback once the ads start running. As illustrated above and below, some ads are better than others. So, once Google’s ads start running, please feel free to tell me what you think.
