monetization

December 9th, 2008 Curtis No comments

I decided yesterday that I really want to push to monetize my blog. Okay good plan. But how?  Well for those of you aren’t reading this as a facebook note, you’ve probably noticed that my stories now have a fair number of Google ads around them. (No more then 3 per page. I read the agreement, Google.)  I’ve been using Google adsense for years now. I’ve embedded some of the ads onto past Xtego conglomerations.  And I’ve had adsense in place on this blog since its conception.  Xtego also employees a Google Search.  (search.xtego.com).  For my fellow bloggers out there who don’t use adsense yet, I highly recommend it.  All ads on your page will be relevant to the content of that page.  So people that hit your site based on a search, see ads for that same search.  It’s pretty wild.

So… if you start seeing more geeky reviews and nerdy how-to’s, well, deal.  Cause that’s what draws the hits.
