But of course…

by on January 28, 2008

Some of you may notice that my side bar looks different. And others of you may notice that the piggy bank has taken a sharp return back to the starting gate. Yes. Some things just don’t work out. My ad account was disabled and I will not receive any of the indicated earnings. I suppose this paragraph is a cautionary tale. I have submitted a dispute to the disabling, but do not expect it to go in my favor. Because things rarely do…

This was an especially hard and difficult weekend before I found out about the disabling so I am taking the news pretty hard. I’m just tired of the motherfucking set backs.

Thanks for the support that you guys showed- I guess there is such a thing as too much. (I kid)

Looks like the one thing I can do well is setback induced depression. Bring it on.

Faith mentioned a Cafe Press store. What if we made an IVP Cafe Press store of IVP related items plus other interesting merchandise and the proceeds could go to someone in need i.e. you right now others in the future? All IVPers could have the option of putting the link to the shop on our own blogs to help grow the buisness of the shop.

Assholes. Well if you want to email me your amazon number I’ll add it to my plugin so you get any money when somebody clicks through from my site and buys something. I never set my own up so it’s just going to whoever designed the plugin at the moment. The book links aren’t showing right now because I had to change my template but they’ll be back up again shortly.
Man, again, what assholes.

46 V January 29, 2008 at 3:31 am

Unless they can prove that you clicked those ads yourself they need to give you your fucking money back. Now I’m just pissed right off!

47 Kwynne January 29, 2008 at 12:47 pm

WTF? I don’t understand this shit. I clicked on those links almost everyday and actually read a few. Did you get any reason as to why?

Reply

48 KMM January 29, 2008 at 7:30 pm

That SUCKS!!!
I just don’t understand, I was coming on everyday and clickin’ AWAY!!!It was like my own little way of helping a fellow IVF sister out. I hope it all works out in your favor!!! I’ll be ordering some books soon so hopefully that will help you some.

49 OvaGirl January 29, 2008 at 9:45 pm

Why is it Cali? And the thing is, there were loads and loads of clicks on your site and those are all worth something in blog ad land so where did that money go. Was that just all free advertising for them? I have no real idea how the ad system works so I can’t help here, maybe you need somone else with ads to explain… anyway, it sucks pus and I’m so sorry because it was such a great idea. Oddly, the ads are still coming up with the comment box….
