Invalid Clickers - please read!

Hello all,

Thanks for reading so much this month! Google has contacted me about the "clicks" on my ads, and send me a friendly reminder about "invalid clicks." If you have been clicking on my ads, please take a minute to read the links in their letter below.

Keep reading, and let me know if there's a topic about which you'd like me to write!

Thanks,
Lindsay
