I guess I'm just too interested in the content. You can always use the ad-block add-on for Firefox if you want to get rid of them. I have it turned on, but I unblock sites that I want to support because the author clearly deserves some compensation for all their hard work (don't worry FT, ads are coming through loud and clear when I check your site, just keep up the great writing :D) Although ads can be annoying, I generally don’t notice them anymore.

Yes, it is a very difficult balancing act between ads and user experience. What I try to do is to keep the ads out of the above the fold "content" which are actually the highest paying ads but also the most annoying. What I suggest to readers is that if you don't like to see ads on a site but like to read the articles, subscribe to the <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MillionDollarJourney" rel="nofollow">RSS feed</a>. A feed is basically the articles in text with minimal ads if any. George, thanks for the feedback. Yes, it is a very difficult balancing act between ads and user experience.

It's always a tough thing trying to balance the revenue with the annoy-the-readers factor...

I started our SM about 6 months ago, and so far it has been pretty easy to implement, and we're making good progress on converting our "bad" debt into "good" debt. I bought quite a lot of our shares on August 16 last year, when there was a mini collapse, and am now looking to buy more as stocks I'm watching drop below my buy levels.

I am also considering implementing the Smith Maneuver when my mortgage comes up in Jan 09. Its a brave thing to do right now (and therefore probably the most profitable to to do it) with all of this R-word talk that is floating around out there. BTW - I just discovered your site a few weeks ago and I am a big fan. Cheers..Oils I would really like to read about your experiences with the Smith Maneuver.
