If you visit my site, you may have noticed the square ad in the sidebar. I’m testing an ads system to try to cover some hosting costs for this site (and The Iron Gate). I’d really like to know your input. I have 2 options for ads.
1. The current ad system that shows the ads you see now.It has the ability to generate a small amount of money every month. In the 4 days I’ve had it on the site I’ve made $1.46.
2. A donate box option to try to encourage readers to donate to my website fund. A link to the donator’s site would be given for every donation. I don’t know how well this would do to generate some funds.
Please let me know what you think.

I’m a large, curvy, lustful submissive learning the ropes in a full time D/s relationship. My explorations with love and life and BDSM have brought me closer to the edge of pain and pleasure, deep desires for rope bondage and debauchery but moreso a desire to delve deeper into submission and service to my Master 
I usually read you on LJ rather than here, coming over here only if I want to comment. However, I personally would vote for the ad link. If it is one that your readers would likely be interested in than I think that might be the way to go.
Since I am completely out of the lifestyle (one of the many reasons why I am not doing so much better in my life, as that was not for me) and almost 100% celibate, these are not ads that would hold any interest for me but I also know I am not your typical reader.
I read you for the woman who has gone through some rough times and not given up and is now happy in her life, not for the BDSM and sex. I cheer you on in the posts in which you write about how happy you are and just ignore all the sex and BDSM stuff.

whoops, make that “one of the reasons why I am NOW doing so much better in my life” (I rushed through typing that sentence fast as I have put that part of my life completely behind me now. It was something I needed to try to get some answers, but the answer clearly was “this is right for some, but not for me”)
