Joel Comm Joins Us

Thanks to a recent post by Jim Kukral, I went about monetizing the blog here and setting the template up in readiness for advertisers.

While the fear is always that too many advert's can scare potential readers away; I took a deep breath and began reshuffling the template. Look at the likes of John Chow, Darren Rowse and The Shoe Man; they have made pimping their templates an artform - rightly so, these big boys of the blog world have earnt their stripes and churn through massive amounts of traffic.

After setting up some 100x100 ad squares in my top left hand corner, I finalized the advertising offer page and set about chasing up some initial sponsors. To my surprise, I got a positive response from Joel Comm. Joel is one of the foremost experts on AdSense, not to mention affiliate marketing, web business creation and of course the creator of the series 'The Next Internet Millionaire'

Over the years I have taken plenty of Joel's tips and used them for myself, I had only spoken to Joel a few times via email - yet he has agreed to jump on board to give things a kick along! And for that I thank him.

While my blog is still very new, traffic is growing nicely and is averaging above 100 hits a day now and RSS subscribers is approaching 50. (Thanks to everyone for visiting and coming back!)

If you would like to get on board and advertise with our early bird rates and get in as a foundation sponsor - please check out our Advertising Page Here.
