If you are a regular visitor of my blog you are sure to notice the different ads that I currently have on this site.  In addition to Adgitize, Entrecard, and Google Adsense, I started using CMFAds two months ago.

Created by former employees of Entrecard, CMF ads has a lot of similarity with Entrecard.  However, the way it works is actually quite different.  Instead of requiring members to visit each others site, it simply let you act as a publisher and advertiser.  To be a publisher, you will need to have a CMFAds widget on your blog.  After you set the widget on your blog, you can  set the price for 1 month ad (125×125) on your website.  Based on your earning, you can either advertise on member”s site or cash out.  However, there is a 50% tax on the amount you cash out.

I like the concept of CMFAds but I don’t like the fact they tax 50% when cashing out.  It seems too steep to me.  Secondly, because it doesn’t require members to visit other member’s site, so you are not guaranteed traffic in similar ways as Entrecard and Adgitize.  However, one huge advantage is that if you do have a popular blog, you can set the ad price at a much higher price so you are compensated according to the popularity of your blog.

Canon In D has always been one of my favorite song.  Amazon is currently offering Relaxing Classical CD download for free!  Remember to download and listen if you need something to relax!

As a music lover, I spend quite a bit of money buying music on iTunes.  Best Buy has iTunes $50 Gift card on sale right now for $40.

They are currently on back order but you can choose to ship to ship to store or have it sent once they are available!

Like many other users of Adgitize, I really enjoyed the service they provided.   (You can read my review here).  I was taken by surprise when I read the latest post regarding Adgitize raising advertise cost from $14 to $24.  However, the reason why I am taken by surprise is I actually thought they would do this much much EARLIER!

According the Adgitize blog, the payout for last month was over $2400.  Base on my calculation, there were an average of less than 200 advertise during the past month.

$14 x 200 = $2800

$2800 – $2400 = $400

So essentially Adgitize made less than $400 for the work they put in last month even before considering operational cost and affiliate bonus.  I would definitely like to see Adgitize succeed and to succeed they will need more funding to cover the operational cost.

I for one will keep on advertise with them.  Keep up the good work Adgitize!

This is another one of those post where my nerdy/geeky side took over.  I saw this series of pictures regarding our solar system over at Smithsonian Magazine.  It is amazing how much our camera has advanced to the point where humans can take such amazing pictures.

My favorite is definitely the the ice crust in the Conamara region of Jupiter’s moon Europa.  Definitely very cool and very educational!
