> P.P.P.P.S. Ha, I’ve thought of one more thing: I’ve turned comments on for this post! kottke.org used to allow comments on every post, but it’s been almost 8 years since the last time they were on. The most telling point of the post was at the very end. Gosh we were so young and naive. Just setup a website to accept comments from all over the world. How exciting! Who knows who might visit! And we'll learn about how…

#12These blogs (kottke.org , memex 1.1) offer daily-ish roundups of links and articles they find interesting, with a short (50-100 words) intro as to why the reader may also be interested. I don't like using email newsletters (my inbox is flooded enough), and long lists of urls is off-putting. Are there any other blogs that do something similar?

LOL! I think I bought my car (used), and (I at-least want to believe) the Nikon D40x with TexasHoldem Ads. ;-)
huh how?
Early to mid 2000s, my website was blowing up and so came advertisers, and Google Adsense. I think, having a Google Pagerank of 7-8 helped a lot. Besides the typical, one of the best month I remember was when a company bought a bunch of Adobe’ Creative Suite licenses after clicking my affiliate link. Btw, I did away with any form of ads by around 2017/2018. I never wanted my website to be commercially earning money but in those days, the money on the side helped me bootstrap my Startups and pay my rent.
Dug up some pictures for you

And some of these other pictures should give you a rough idea that my site was good enough to earn not-so-bad money early on. Also look at the sidebar in the website, that is how we added the ads - just plain text with hyperlinks.
