I am currently applying to be a part of the BlogHer ad network.

I used to accept compensation from the following sources before October 30, 2007:

1. Google AdSense - I got roughly $1 every month from the ads they ran on my site. Big money, Vanna, big money. The advertisements often depicted scantily clad women or just downright stupid animations, so I decided to move on.
2. PayPerPost - I only ever wrote one sponsored entry for PayPerPost. I don't have the time to find worthy causes, nor can I get over the nagging voice in my head screeching "sell-out!" every five seconds. Therefore, that one entry (which, for the record, earned me a whopping $5) has been carefully stashed away in its own category, and I am no longer a participating blogger with PayPerPost.
