    New Poll Of The Month: Are Ads Tacky?

    Written on March 1st, 2006 by Vince Chan ::

    Month #2 has come and gone for AmBlogger. The participation in February’s poll (19 votes) has been much less than January’s poll (60 votes). But it was a sweeter, more satisfying result!

    Looking back at February’s poll. I made mistakes in putting up the choices on the poll. Nobody works a “5 to 9″! I was trying to set that choice for people who worked night shifts. I also should have known better to think people who read blogs don’t blog, it’s not the hottest fad going for no reason.

    Here are the results:

    Full-time bloggers - 4
    Night-time bloggers - 6
    Blog-during-work bloggers - 3
    Irregular hours bloggers - 2
    Student bloggers - 4

    The new poll of the month will have simple choices. March’s poll was inspired by my previous post - Bloggers, Journalists, Pros, Amateurs. I want to find out from you, money aside, whether you find advertising and advertisements on Blogs to be tacky and compromising the idea of blogging? Cast your votes!

      There’s one fatal flaw in this month’s poll.

      Some people may not think that ads are tacky, but may think they compromise the idea of blogging. It’s not always a one-in-the-same thing. Then again, maybe that’s just me - I’ve always been known as the complete oddball out.

      Good point! I thought of it as well, but I’d still rather keep the choices simple. I guess I want the voters to lean the way they feel most strongly. If you feel ads are not tacky, but feel they compromise the idea of blogging, vote on what you feel is more important. I’ll note these in the results next month.

      Very interesting to see that there are so many full-time bloggers. I would never have thought.
