Blogrolling.com has announced it’s new advertising model. The plan is to serve an unobtrusive ad when people click on blogs in a blogroll. They’ve provided samples in their post. Please visit the article and post your comments here. I plan to pay the removal fee, but I would like feedback before I do so.
The fee will be $20 per year to turn of the advertisements. The Atheist Blogroll is actually two blogrolls, one is a full list, the other is a rolling list. I’m not sure if I’ll have to pay $40 for two, or $20 for one. Either way, the cost is manageable.
Since the fee’s are low, I’ll cover it myself. At the urging of a few other bloggers, I’ll put a “Support the Atheists Blogroll” donation button on my blog to help offset the enormous cost of maintaining the blogroll. If you feel inclined, pitch in a buck or two.
Logging you in...

It sucks having a middle man.

Thanks for the feedback on our new features. Just a note about the fees to turn off ads - your $20 covers all of your blogrolls - it isn't $20/blogroll, it is $20 per account! Hopefully this makes it much more affordable and less of a pain. It is certainly a lot cheaper than coding and entirely new system! :-)
best,

With a bit of luck, blogrolling will "get it right" with this effort.

But I also agree with Larro & vjack. A standalone would be optimal. And if you need peeps to donate for that, they'd probably be more willing to.
