From it, I gather the income isn't that high, on the whole. Unless TangognaT is <b>very</b> close to the next tax level, it shouldn't be a problem. And, presumably, the tax account people know where to put the amount in those arcane forms. http://itotd.com/articles/379/ The ITotD site today is re-running one of its articles from 2004, “Affiliate Programs”.

The objectionable ones are the pop-ups, pop-unders, the ones that block the text, and anything that moves or otherwise uses up too much bandwidth. I'm one of your regular readers, and I say go for it. Ads are easy enough to ignore, especially the smallish Google-type ads.

I might have to futz with my blogroll a bit, but I was thinking of putting elements of it on a different page anyway.

As long as the ads fit in with the design I'm a happy web designer.

As long as it doesn't overwhem blog content, I'm cool with ads... they even sometimes have an effect on me. I say go for it (then again, I’m contemplating ads as well).
