« Sen. Alexander Battles For Higher Taxes | Main | The Crusades » April 28, 2004Adding It UpHelp me understand this: Instapundit charges $1,000 per month to run an ad on his blog and he's currently got what looks to be four paid ads (The Spirit of America ad is likely a freebie for a very good cause.) Yet yesterday for some reason several folks dropped cash in his tip jars. The rich get richer. If I was a Democrat, I'd be proposing a National Blog Tip Jar Fairness Act and asking John Kerry to come out for and against it... Hah! By the way, you can advertise on HobbsOnline for less than $40 a month. If you're inclined to drop some cash in the tip jar, I'd prefer you clicked the ad for Tennessee state senate candidate Billy Stokes or Tennessee congressional candidate Janice Bowling and donated to one of those campaigns instead - and email me the donation receipt as a way of thanking me for what I do here.

Of course, Glenn gets more than 25x your number of hits :) And no one is buying my ads, alas. But at least one of my friends is now hosting my site for free, so that's like free money! Posted by: Michael Williams at April 28, 2004 2:14 PMOnce you get rich and famous, people are falling over themselves to give you more stuff. Not quite the same as the professor, but I had a friend who was a fairly popular NFL player. In the town where he lived, he almost always ate free. He got clothes for free, furniture for free, and a car for free. Didn't even have to do commercials- merchants just wanted to be able to say his stuff came from their shops. Hilarious. And sick. Probably illegal too, from a tax perspective. Posted by: Dave at April 28, 2004 2:17 PMLooks like you and I are in the same boat, Michael. No ads sold, but I also don't pay for my server space since a friend of mine lets me use space on his server. Posted by: Big Dog at April 29, 2004 2:09 AMPost a comment
