What was on your mind when you put these banners?

What is on the mind of an affiliate when they decor their site or blog or whatever with all
colorful eye killing banner?

All affiliate guru always remind us again and again, you need to put a similar advertisement to your site what about. For example if you have a tech blog the advertisement you put will be about the latest hardware gadgets or something like that
always put similar advertisement to go along.

Well i never followed that, see for your self, all banners on my blog i choose and i just put it because i like the service. What? how lame is that. Well it is true the problem is i always think that the visitor on my blog will think like me.(<- how can you be so confident idiot?) It is wrong, even my husband also asking me, why you put a web hosting advertisement? i replied because it is cheap, i also like to have it, i even think to click my own affiliate banner lol Yeah one of this day, i always dream to become a webmaster or a forum administrator you know... a well known one, where when someone on the internet sphere will say something like, hey do you know this forum, and the other will saying oh i know, the one that *bip and *bip it is so famous, everybody knows that. Yeah something like that. But first i need to change my bad habit by doing one thing at a time and when you start doing something, for Pete sake... finish it!. So until then i think my dream forum will not coming true at any moment. What is with all the magazine subscriber stuff? he said. Well they are cheap, and since i just got this new HSBC supplementary card on my hand, my finger start getting itchy, i need to use it on something, and i think why not... a magazine... i was at the National Geographic site to get a feeder link for my blog and i came across the subscription page where just need $15 for 12 issues!! i know that amount is from US and Canada subscriber, 25% for international order. i think the magazine subscriber site's price will be around like that or maybe cheaper i don't know the other time i only browsed the site briefly only but hey i will subscribe when i got back my trip from Jakarta, i remember when i bought a first edition of National Geographic published in Indonesian Language, it was i think around S$5 or S$6 or even S$7 i cannot remember and all just for 1 issue. There are two banner about essays and freelancer job thing, i guess those two balance the upset? lol hey my blog is about my writing mah, although my 2nd chapter still stuck at pages 7. That remind me to beg you to read my story if you have not read it yet. Finally what with all the craze with the poker advertisement. The story began like this, i was browsering through the list, and i saw a very good commission for online casino like game, so i clicked to register, the pop up window tell me that they will manually registered me or something like that, and i don't care it much until i got their reply on my email box, so i add put the script voila, just for the looks for it. I think my husband played before using the mock money(long time ago), it is a flash game(or maybe a different site), anyway you get bored after some rounds, but if you won it will be a different story. The rest of the advertisement are adSense and Google referrals program and Google Search. This blog is my first blog of course i got excited and stuff my blog with all this things, but eventually maybe i will take down one banner or so. Question why i bother to write all of this? in case people wonder why my blog so ugly or maybe kiasu with all the color and the banner, every advertisement that i put is make sense to me lol. I need to write an entry anyway. Note that i never put any link on this post, i never try to camouflage my affiliate code or whatever on this post just to let you click by mistake or whatever or persuade you to buy the service, this post is purely my nag or an info to my visitor why i put such banners and such. By the time i finish this entry, the sky outside getting darker and darker. I guess it will rain heavily soon. ------------------------------------------------------
