Does seem strange to have a breakdown blogged about...oh well, I guess it isn't hurting anything and it doesn't appear to be a website that will result in any commercial gain for the writer.
I added my scores to my breakdown to make it more useful for your blog.
haha I guess that portion of the blog is more just a collection of links than my thoughts, but don't you think it's helpful to have a bunch of breakdowns in one place rather than having people weaving through the threads?
And I do feel the need to explain the reason I'm doing this (Durial)
1) I have a couple of friends that are pre-dental as well, and rather than telling each of them the same advice over and over, I figured it would be useful and efficient if I could centralize all that location at one place and all I would have to do is right one post and it's there forever for them to refer back to (and other people).
2) Sdn helped me a LOT with peoples varying opinions, and I found many useful threads (like Sami's wicked sick PAT tutorial). However, I went through a lot of threads before finding those "diamond in the rough threads", so I figured posting about all these threads in one place would be helpful in terms of saving people time.
3) Getting thank you PMs are the best. I'm sure most of you have been in that situation where someone shows gratitude to you for making a positive difference in their life. Great feeling. Period.
4) I actually do have a small commercial gain from this(Google adsense).
However, the money I make from this is pretty minimal. The only time I would make some money is if somebody clicked on a link (no one has out of the 600 page views the blog has gotten so far) and if someone did happen to click on it, it would be 25 to maybe 40 cents most. The other way is for like every 100 or so views ( I make $.01). I can post a picture of it if you skeptics out there don't believe me.

However, I would like to say that adding the adsense feature was FREE, so I mean even though it's a few cents, maybe a couple of dollars down the road, I see no harm in adding it. I'm sorry if the ads annoy some people, but try to understand that I am a broke college student like most of you. A little empathy would be appreciated
(we won't be after about a decade though am i right?
)
5) I enjoy organizing stuff and have always wanted to have a place where I could share some of my knowledge in an area that I am passionate about. I tried a blog about healthy living, but it was just so hard to get people to view it. So I guess in that sense I see how the previous poster feels "used" but I'm sorry? I mean I'm not forcing anyone to do anything they don't want to or putting any false information in my blog.
So there you go SDN, those are my reasons. If you don't agree with them, just don't visit it, no harm done. If you like it awesome, glad I could help. If you want to theoretically give me a quarter for my efforts and click on an ad, sweet, I appreciate the extra change that I can use to put into those stupid meters on my campus.
If not, no worries!
PS. Thanks for adding your scores whitefang

Wow you really beasted OC (well you beasted all sections, but particularly OC haha), NICE
