I dunno. I think his blog is pretty nice. It's shown me a number of games I'd not seen before.

And I don't know whether he's actually selling any of those products he's featured, but I do know several of them are actual products offered from full-on companies. And it looks like at least of few of the links couldn't contain affiliate info.

Bottom line, if he's making enough to even pay for the hosting of the site, it'd surprise me. But, eh, what do I know  :dunno

I make no money and have no ads.  Additionally, I have nothing to do with the products I feature, I just like them (and have bought several of them).  Sorry for your cynical ass that you assume my "whoring" is an attempt to make money.  In fact, all I want to do is share the fun times that gaming has given me for so many hours and so many years.  The reason I occasionally post here is when I have added a new feature to the blog that I figure guys will be more interested in.  I post almost every day (Games of the Day are most of the blog), but every once in a while I do a "Hall of Fame" or some other feature or graphic that I know is more interesting to more people - therefore I post about it here to give every one a chance to see it who might be interested before it scrolls further down the blog list (most guys only look at the first page).  Besides, if you don't like the blog or that I post about it here, why do you visit it and check out my threads?

To the rest of you guys who are cool and supportive, I hope you like the blog and from time to time are able to find a fun game that you didn't know of before.

You sound smart.

Those aren't advertisements, they are my own independent blog posts and links.  I have no relationship with any of the sellers and they don't have any knowledge or tracking that I sent them if you click on it.  I get no money and have no interest in any of the products.  I simply like this crap and thought I'd spread the word.  Geez, can't you cynical folks imagine just for a moment that I the only reason I do the blog is because it's fun?  And the only reason I post about it here is to share the fun....

Not much apparently.  Blogspot's free.

I can certainly imagine that, but you also post a lot of provocative threads that contain little more than a link to your blog.  If you're not monetizing it, then... well... maybe you just like seeing traffic reports?

So then, being self-named "Pinballjim", you'll probably really be annoyed and confused that I do lots of custom pinball instruction cards and give them away for free - they've been downloaded more than 10 thousand times...  http://pinballcards.blogspot.com/

Touche! So it is.

Well, I for one would love to see a "PinballJim Game of the Day" (or whatever you might want to call it). And if you want to monetize it with a few ads, or whatever, I don't see a problem with that. Heck. There's a lot of work that goes into posts like that. Why not make a few bucks off it? As long as the content's good, the ads won't matter.
