When we were at the weekly Gringo Gathering at Canuck's on Friday, I finally got to really meet fellow bloggers and very new Mazatlan residents Nancy and Paul. One of the things we discussed was the possibility of a revenue generating site about Mazatlan, and it reminded me that way back when I started this site, I had that possibility in mind. So I went and blew the dust off my Google AdSense account. The result: the ads you see on each page. I have no fantasies about getting rich from these ads, but it would be nice if it did offset the cost of maintaining the site.
Every time a visitor clicks on one of the Google ads, I make a little cash. I am experimenting with ad placement, formatting, etc., so you may see a few subtle changes over the next months as I try to figure out what brings the best response. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the ads as I try to decide whether having them is a worthwhile effort.

It was really nice to talk with you guys on Friday and I love the little spark when you meet people you really click with. Thanks for the plug to our blog - and Happy Birthday, Chuck!
