Personally I think you can do it well without making it so intrusive. You are providing a service to others with your writing you should get something for it.

FWIW I get about $200+ per month from adsense which pays for my phone bill and Internet and server etc. But that's nothing compared to people I know you make more money than my yearly income!! No kidding! I have some ebooks I can send you if you are interested. Luis, I’m surprised you haven’t monetized your blog earlier.

Actually, a big heap of my traffic comes via people visiting old posts, using them as watering holes for various topics. Two of the biggest are the eyelid twitching and the American bases in Japan (the latter is populated by veterans who served in Japan way back when). I don't know or associate with these people, and figure, hey, why not see if they'll give back? But I like your 30-days thing; I have always been reluctant to have ads, even innocuous ones, foisted upon my readers. But more than 30 days old and posts cease to be fodder for readers, and instead become the diet of Googlers clicking through, and, in 99% of the cases, never ever coming back again, except if they happen to Google through again. How do you get started with Google AdSense? Is there a plugin for WordPress which does the 30-days thing automatically? Do tell! Hmmm… maybe I should do the same.

I might go to less than 30 days (I can set any number I want), but I really don't see me hitting every page. Unless I figure out a way to different sizes for different times.

BECAUSE if a person comes to your page via a search engine and realizes that your content sucks then they may leave by clicking on a contextual link. You make money on people to don't like your content rather than the ones that do. And the ones that do come back usually read your content via RSS readers anyway.
