Remember a few months ago when I announced that I was adding Google AdSense ads to offbeatbride.com? Well, some of you have probably noticed that I’ve started getting more of my own advertisers over the last few months — this is awesome because it means I can justify removing the stupid Google AdSense ads! WHEW. No more “Romantic Luxury Mexico Vacations” in my sidebars!

Unlike AdSense, Offbeat Advertisers are all filtered by me (ie, I don’t accept all the ads I’m offered — I only accept advertisers who fit with the site’s values), and (even more important to me a copywriter and control freak ) all the advertising copy is all written by me. That sound you hear is me putting down the razors that have been perched over my wrists after reading some of the poorly written tripe that has been showing up in my sidebars. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do but seriously: whew.

Thanks to all the Offbeat Advertisers who have made this switch possible by supporting the site and enabling me to keep cranking out Wedding Porn for all my ladies. Yay!
