Then I wake up to reality. Google analytics report zero visitors on my blog for months. What a wonderful beginning...
The first I tried was Google Adsense. Besides pitching ads that has nothing to do with my blog, those text links are rather mundane to look at. Sometimes when I go blog surfing, I'm amazed as my eyeballs get stabbed non-stop by Adsense. It seems the trend lately is to plaster text ads in the middle of your post, cleverly camoflaged in terms to size and color. Actually as far as Adsense goes, the real trend is to paste them anywhere you can. For example...- Below site banner
- Beside site banner
- As the site banner (!!!)
- Before a post
- In the middle of a post (I find this very retarded and irritating)
- After a post
- At the left sidebar
- At the right sidebar
- End of the page
I am going to vomit my heart out and ejaculate my soul if I catch anymore blogs overflowing with Adsense goodness.
Nuffnang was the next one I gave a shot at. Their ads ooze coolness and it actually does make your blog look lively. Only problem with them is most of the time I am presented with a...
Nugget. I registered for the purpose of having nice graphics spice up my dull sidebar. Probably my blog does not have enough visitors to serve ads yet. So I just dropped the code from my site since I wanted smashing graphics(read:intresting ads) and not a nugget most of the time. Simple as that.So there you have it dear readers, the reason why there are no ads in whoisafternoon. Nothing to distract your reading or sore your eyes. My awful posts is bad enough.
* I'm not saying this blog will be ad-free forever. Who knows I'll throw in some nice, non-intrusive ads in the far far future...

No 'nuggets', and some tasty stuff for your blog at www.advertlets.com :) Check it out. *Disclaimer...I work there. :)
Btw, I like Sushi Zanmai too! Good choice. For a reasonable price, the sashimi there is quite fresh. Also, of late there is a new outlet in 1 Utama called Pasta Zanmai (I think they're related) - fusion cuisine...japanese/italian mixed, goes together very well. I'll definitely be going back there again :)

Heh I know you work there. Hmm wait I thought you literally own Advertlets?
As for Pasta Zanmai you should try out the sushi pasta. Simply wonderful...
haha yeah he owns advertlets!
hey dont give up! =D
Afternoon> do u mean 'salmon pasta' instead of 'sushi pasta'?lol
Nice blog you have :)
Haha, yeah! Some of the blogs are so full of ads that sometimes I think visitors are distracted by the ads and not reading what is written by the owner. Anyway, I also agree that ads should be those cool banners that can also grace your blog, not just some stuff that exist in your blog to so-call let you make money per se.
nuffnang earning is very slow, even be their exclusive
Hi
I agree, many a times, in my own blog, I notice seeing only the nugget and not the Nuffnang ad. But I do notice too that Nuffnang ads appear more frequesntly during the morning. By afternoon till evening, I see mostly nuggets.
Hi! You said, "Google analytics report zero visitors on my blog for months." Unfortunately, that's the reality of blogging. New bloggers are often disappointed and disillusioned when no one visits. One of the tricks to gaining traffic is to make the first move and visit blogs and leave comments for bloggers to return the visit. Btw, got here from your Adwords ad you took out.
