I ranted a bit when BlogHer launched their ad network for women in early May this year - citing the multitude of newly launched ad networks rushing to grab a share of online advertising dollars.
Now that I think about it, that rant probably wasn’t very fair, so here’s me being objective on BlogHer’s recent […]

I’d wager that a substantial percentage of product bloggers have learnt the power of Chitika eMinimalls (aff link) over the past year or so - perhaps even to the extent that their eMinimalls revenue exceeds AdSense on some of their product blogs.
So, it shouldn’t be surprising to find bloggers who want to place multiple […]

So, your 100-post blog brings in $2 per day. Will it bring in $4 a day once you write another 100 posts? In many cases, especially for medium-sized blogs that have reached a certain degree of stability, probably not. This is often true even if your traffic does double when you double the number of […]

If you read Google’s official guide on performing A/B testing for your AdSense ads earlier this month, you’d probably already have a strong sense of what split testing is.

During the blog monetization session over at the currently-running WordCamp 2006, Kevin Burton of TailRank raised (yet again) the issue of Text Link Ads (aff link) being a form of domain spam, a.k.a. black hat SEO.
This issue isn’t new, and seems to repeat itself in yearly cycles, but for those who’re new to it, […]

Sneaky, or rather, creative means of blending AdSense adverts are commonplace. We’ve seen our fair share of them here, with this hidden link unit (or rather, used to be) being one example.
Here’s yet another creative piece of ad placement, courtesy of WorkBoxers:
