 EV> Some web pages don't work unless I Allow more than the basic name of the
 EV> site.

 AZ> All the pages on zisman.ca (including the new blog entry about
 AZ> Android malware that I posted about today) include scripts - a
 AZ> script for Google Analytics that provide me with statistical
 AZ> information: how many people visit my site, which pages they read,
 AZ> where they come from, what browser they use, etc... it's useful
 AZ> information for me - and doesn't identify the visitors, so while I
 AZ> might know that someone from Oklahoma City visited the site, I
 AZ> don't know who it was. 

you don't and google doesn't but they can piece that together even if they
don't tell you about it... the key factor being that you are not the only one
counting your stats... at least google also has access to them and any
affiliates they choose to share them with ;)

 AZ> I also include a script that posts a Google Ad Words ad at the
 AZ> bottom of each, with content that presumably lines up with the
 AZ> content of the page. (The Android malware page is showing an ad for
 AZ> a Mac anti-malware product right now, though what you see might be
 AZ> different). When I review commercial products, I may include a
 AZ> script that links to a page on Amazon.com that sells that product. 

 :)

 AZ> These latter two examples provide me with income - not huge
 AZ> amounts: I earn about $150-200 a year from Google Ad Words

really? is that all?? hummm, perhaps you should adjust your "ad words" a bit to
get some more ads shown?? ;)

 AZ> (payments are based on the number of clicks the ads generate) and
 AZ> have not yet earned enough commission from Amazon sales to get a
 AZ> payment... The Google ads and other more focused ads on some of my
 AZ> pages pay the costs of maintaining the website - like ads on TV we
 AZ> may not like them, but they pay for the content that presumably we
 AZ> want to see. 

if you choose to "pollute" your pages with ads ;)

but at the rate you say you are getting, you're not even breaking even if you
are paying for hosting and your connection to the net...
