It’s Monday, it’s a new week, and I’m a member of a new affiliate network. You’ll be seeing the advertisements placed between posts on the main page. Why?

Well, first off, Adsense is just not performing well in those positions. I knew that for some time, but I need to break up the text of the blog with visual images. To deter advertisers from buying cheap impressions on my blog, I’ve enabled images as well. I’m hoping that it’s new position at the top of the blog will help. There will be two more ads (one images, one textual) on individual posts pages, still. But I’m not hopeful of making much money from any of these blocks.

So I replaced the ads between posts with TTZ Media (Yes, that’s John Chow’s media company)… I’ve not tweaked them properly yet, but the placement has allowed me to have a longer front page with more posts. The ads look quite good, though I may need to work on achieving the most appropriate products for my own readers. Additionally, I’m able to put them on the front page between posts (which I have extended from 3 to 10 posts) after being unhappy with the limitations imposed by Google’s Adsense. I think 3 is way too few, but ten may be too many.

I’ll be giving results at the end of the month. Let’s see what happens.

There are a ton of ways to make money on the Internet. In my blog, I’ve investigated about ten different ways or more, but I thought I’d like to introduce a website that lists40+ Ways to Make Money on the Internet. So, take your time today, and look through. See which ways you haven’t tried before, and do a little research. I already found one interesting way.

That’s it for Sunday, that amount of reading will take you a long time! Drop me a line about the ways you found to make money online! Let me know what works for you.

What is eBay good for? That’s right “absolutely nothing”. Thanks, Frankie. Here’s what started my rant:

It was few days ago now, and I really regret expending so much effort to find out why eBay in all their glory suspended me. The only way I can finally let this thing go is blogging about it. Once I’m done with this article, I will not deal with eBay again, on this blog or in my personal life.

They are stamping on their userbase. How long can they get away with actions that affect segments of the userbase before it affects the entire company? Well, Continue reading →
