Further to my interview with Jamie Walton of The Wayne Foundation, I am hoping my readers will be generous and help her raise some money for the cause.
I had pledged at the start of the month to donate any ad revenue for September to TWF, but I’ve had to adjust things slightly. You see, every year in the lead-up to September 11, my traffic takes a huge spike. Huge. And on the 13th, I received an email from Google saying they had noted an “unusual” (for them, maybe) spike in traffic, and were cutting off my ads. You read that right: Because every September I pay tribute to the dead, and some of their families stop by to reminisce, they cut me off. And by their ToS, they have every right to. In layman’s language, the ToS read something like “If we have a headache or a hangnail, we can and will cut you off.”
C’est la vie.
Of course, Google wasn’t my only revenue from GOTR. I have private ads, too. But Google consistently paid between $120-$150 month. Consistently, meaning no spikes in traffic, ahem.
So my Brass Balls co-host Kimberly Haney and I decided we would simply cover the Google payout ourselves, and this morning a check was mailed. Instead of having to wait till mid-November to get the revenue from September, The Wayne Foundation will have it by Friday.
Now it’s back to you, my lovely, lazy, cheap readers who have access to this wonderful blog for FREE and its associated podcast every day. Since you can no longer sit back and click, knowing that Wendy would take care of all the charitable work, like good conservatives you have to do it YOURSELF.
This is the donation link. This is the t-shirt link.

I want to know of your good deeds, to ensure that I’m attractive the right kind of readers. After all, if you don’t want to help victims of child sex trafficking, you must have a vested interest in child sex trafficking, no? Yeah, I went there. I’ve never been one for subtlety. So go throw $5, $10, $20, $100 at The Wayne Foundation.
DO IT NOW.
The Wayne Foundation’s website has a Google donate button in the sidebar that is NOT active. But, the other one (Paypal) on that page works fine.
Sweet irony…
So if your site becomes more profitable, ie more people come to it; you lose your advertizing and less people can buy through you? Or did I read it wrong? It seems self defeating somehow. I will try to kick in a couple of bucks at the end of the month after this month’s tally is in. Card is getting thin so far this month.
