One of the things that makes Adsense successful is that they do not include traffic requirements. One of the reasons Adsense has been such a boon to publishers is that it allows them to profit off of sites that are too small to get into other ad networks. Small sites are not necessarily bad, just […]

When I was blogging for SitePoint I broke the news about “Amazon Sense” or rather Amazon wanting to compete with Adsense with a similar program, it got like a billion trackbacks and I really wish I had broke the news here instead.

If you run your own affiliate program there is an amazing potential you are missing out on. Tracking free affiliate URLs. This is not a new concept, one I remember first hearing in 2001. However it isn’t commonly discussed and so many of you might not have thought of this before. I used to give […]

Evolution of a Niche


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

In 2003 when I started this site I noticed a distinct lack of websites catering to website publishers. This was pre-Adsense, advertising rates were just starting to climb back up from their lows, and the industry wasn’t nearly as widely publicized as it is now. However things changed. Now you’re always seeing stores in the […]
