THIS IS A JOKE

THIS IS ALL A JOKE AND I AM JUST DREAMING

[hughcasey]

Some of us pay for other reasons.

Personally, I've been WANTING to monetize my LJ, so I'm glad they're finally going to let me!

[psychokitten76]

Then don't opt-in to see them.

I don't mind ads being on my friends pages if it means I'm helping them make a little extra cash.

[writewrongs]

How much money are we talking here? And how easy is it for the average blogger to break even without covering their blog completely in ads?

[psychokitten76]

Break even? You don't have to pay to join, so everything is profit.

[athenemiranda]

Errr, it's for paid accounts so yes you do pay to join.

[psychokitten76]

No, you do not pay to join Google Adsense. If you have a Paid LJ account and choose to display Google ads on it, it's not a matter of breaking even. Unless you start up a Paid account for the express purpose of displaying Google ads, which would be kind of pointless since you can start up a site/blog elsewhere for free to do that with.

Did I just awake from a long slumber and it's magically April 1st?

Read the faqs - still can't make much sense but I don't think it'll be of any use to people who don't have lots of traffic.

[staygoldpnyboy]
