    Best of luck with the new set-up. I'm sure that if there is a workable model for monetising wine blogs out there you will be the first to find it and you deserve the success!


    Good luck my friends!

    Congratulations on the 3 years! What are you drinking to celebrate?


    Blogging without ads is a long-term bet that I'm you'll win. It's also a way to show that you're not dependent on page views and that you believe in being relevant and having credibility. I'm sure you'll find a way to charge for those.



    Cheers,

    Ad-Free is the way to be :) Honestly, for the amount of money they bring in, most ad services are too much work and clutter up the site. They also tend to dristract from creating good content, to creating ad worthy content.


    Congrats on 3 years too, you guys have done so much in just 3 years...

    Thanks to everyone for your warm wishes. Our goal is to have you enjoy your experience on Catavino, rather than be bogged down with ads that clearly don't pertain to your interests. And if there is any other way we can make this site better, please let us know, because although we've made it three years, we don't want to bomb it in the fourth ;-)

    I always thought AdSense would not be lucrative...thank you for confirming it for me - I will continue you to be ad free as well. Congrats on your important milestone, and please keep writing about Iberian wines!
