Ad free blog - is it possible?

Ad free blog - is it possible?

To blog or not to blog?

Why people share their thoughts with (potentially) millions of others who they have never seen before? Various reasons for different people. Why do I do it? I still don't know. I don't value my opinion that much so to engrave it into eternity. I can even change my opinion. Who cares? Sometimes it is necessary to put my thoughts to the paper (or web space) in order to understand what I am actually trying to say. For me this is the way to crystallize my inner chaos into something that I will peruse later on more orderly manner.

But why blogging? Can't I just write it down and hide it in the desk drawer? Here comes the second reason: this might help me in some other way. How about helping me to find a better job? Exposure to the potential employers can never be too little. So this becomes my personal ad. And this also leads to the second question (actually the first if you count the main title)

Personal ad filled with other ads is just going to get watered down a lot. I can't blog without ads, unless I pay for web hosting or purchase my own dedicated server. Mathematically speaking I need to negate the effect of ads. Could that be a counter-ad (e.g. rant about poor service or product I had experience with)? Or should I overwhelm the potential readers with self gratitude of enormous proportions? There should be smarter way around this

I can't fight Google or any other Internet advertising giant. So why not to use their service to fuel my own ad campaign? Since they use keywords to adjust their advertising to my preferences, can I generate such keywords that will work somehow for me?

It is not possible to create an ad free blog (not a free blog anyway), but I think it is possible to use the ads to my advantage. What is so good about a system? - it is possible to use the ystem to beat the system. Let's see what will come out of it.
