I've had some visitors complain that my site comes on too strong with ads and offers. If so, it's been strikingly unsuccessful -- I make less than $200 annually this way. What do you think? I'm especially interested in your opinion on my PayPal offers, my Amazon book offers, my Amazon "tip jar," and downloadable Microsoft Reader e-books. Is it too much? What should I be doing instead?
