Ah crap… Google sent me a email.

Only click on advertisements you guys genuinely are interested in. Thanks for clicking on my advertisements. Google Adsense program help me pay my bills and is quite crucial to the survival of this blog. In the past, I encouraged people verbally to click on my Google ads, I’m not sure of anyone still doing so, but I realized it is in violation of the terms and conditions. So forget what I told you guys last time. Only click on advertisements that you’re genuinely interested in. Domo arigato gozaimasu! Thanks a million.
