AdSense and smaller sites

• October 8, 2005

Yesterday I talked about site/network popularity. My closing thoughts were that I believe my site is growing and think it is 'popular' for some fields, but that it could probably be more so. With that said, how can a smaller site attract advertisers who will, hopefully, pay (some of) the costs of creating and updating a site? In the old days, advertising on a small site meant banner networks, or exchanges.

A while ago, I wrote an article regarding InboxDollars.com (also known as, InboxDollar$.com). That article, On InboxDollar$.com, and similar programs, discussed some of the good things about this site and it’s program. However, I feel as though some additional information could be given.

(MP3 format) If you’re like me, and I’ll be assuming that you are during this article, then you’ve probably seen a lot more use of ‘clown shoes’ on the Internet. For whatever reason, this is not occurring simply on sites in the industry of ‘all things clown’, but is also occurring on some of the larger, and more popular, web communities.

On InboxDollar$.com, and similar programs

• November 13, 2004

There’s a lot of hoopla about making money online for doing very little. I can remember, when I first got onto the Internet for extended amounts of time, during my early college years, when my roommate, Jeremy Peterson, would find something online and share it with me. Sometimes these things ended up being busts, but sometimes they would end up fairly big. Napster, for example, was probably introduced to me by him, which was a great thing until it went down.
