I'm just going to put it all here because the poll doesn't feel like I could say it properly.
I would be totally fine with you having ads. Rephrased, you can do whatever you want and it's none of my business. I really hate pop ups (but I'd deal with them if I had to to read your blog) and don't mind sidebar and top/bottom ads at all because I mentally screen them out.
The only real issue for me is the other-site-besides-LJ thing. I read everything you post, even if I don't always comment (and lately life is obviously chaotic and occasionally fine and occasionally terrible, so I've been a pretty spotty LJ friend) because it shows up right on my friends list. Well, I enjoy reading you anyways and I'd add you to my list of blogs I read offsite through Google Reader, but Google Reader doesn't show the ads from the original sites, so that wouldn't help you. And I'd try to go directly to the site sometimes to give you the ad revenue, but honestly, I'd probably forget a lot because life is busy and that sort of detail would register low on my "AHH THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO DO IMMEDIATELY!!!" scale. Not that YOU do, but you know what I mean.
But you are awesome and wherever you go, I'll definitely be reading.
