Thanks for visting my blog, matt. :)

Akismet + Wordpress = the happiest couple on the internet.

Yeah.. I’m using it here too..

The idea of writing this wrap-up is that I just wanna share what it ’s happening in my blog (maybe.. behind the sense..)

There are a few bloggers who used to ask me about putting ads in their blog. So, I’m sharing some ads that I’m using and the pros and cons of using those ads service.. anyway, I have removed all ads except google ads from my blog…

As to the PR, a lot of pro-blogger crying fowl doesn’t really make sense – if you have an audience, they are going to come back no matter what the PR.

Yeah.. As my blog is not for making money, PR or stats doesn’t really matter…

I've seen plenty of websites that disclosed this information in a graphic while blurring out their name and focusing only on the numbers. Whether this is against terms of service or not is beyond me, but I don't see why it would be. That just doesn't make any sense. With any form of advertising, it's always best to go with a product that you have enjoyed in the past, or are currently enjoying insstead of a rotation based on subject matter. Your readers are here to read your thoughts and opinions, so why wouldn't they want referrals to products and services that you also enjoy? As to the PR, a lot of pro-blogger crying fowl doesn't really make sense - if you have an audience, they are going to come back no matter what the PR. 50 returning visitors will trump 5 new ones any day of the week. If you get a new one, you could account that to anything from somebody randomly stumbling onto your website to just clicking a wrong link. If they return, that just means you're doing something right. Akismet + Wordpress = the happiest couple on the internet.

Delete the above to comments because the first one did not have any AJAX effect [it reloaded the page like when you normally post a comment] so I did a second one and then the box locked up.

I'm trying the feed advertising through feedburner with google adsense, since I don't like ads on my blog, thought feeds would be the best. :) Yeah, that WB plugin is wicked, it uses MyAvatars by the same guy [Andrea Micheloni] for the MyBlogLog avatars. I'll try commenting again here to check about the double commenting. :) Yes, TLA was the reason most people’s blog rating dropped in google, but I wasn’t talking about the main ad thing, I was talking about the tools, like the advertising in your feed etc. Plus TLA is also the owner of I think AuctionAds or Bidvertiser, one of the two.

Text Link Ads? I heard that Google slapped them, isn't it? A lot of top pro-bloggers are shouting that their PR have been dropped because of paid link (maybe TextLink Ads)... Thanks, Ash.
