Adgitize Review

What is Adgitize
I would consider Adgitize a very affordable advertisement network for bloggers. It cost $14 a month to advertise with Adgitize and in return you will receive 40 ~ 70 visitors daily depending on how well your ad is designed. In addition, if you sign up as a publisher, you can make a little bit extra of money as well.
Pro:
- Very cheap advertising option.
- Can earn back the $14 monthly fee and more if you sign up as a publisher and participate in a set of activities such as answering in the forum daily.
- A group of friendly bloggers that are willing to help you out with any questions you might have regarding blogging.
Cons:
- The people visiting your blogs tends to stay for very short time while they search for the Adgitize widget. This means that your blog will experience high bounce rate.
- The amount of time spend can really add up for clicking 50 sites a day. This is one of the more time consuming part of earning but that is also how you receive traffic.
I have been a member of Adgitize community when it first started out. Even though the community has evolved it has sustained its core value – provide affordable advertisement for bloggers. What you receive in blogging is a result of what you put in. While there are definitely easier ways to make money online you will get a community of helpful individual. If you are a newbie why not check out Adgitize today!
Amazon: Free $6 Tribeca Films Credit
Amazon is currently offering $6 video on demand credit to the Tribeca Film Festival Store. All you have to do is enable Amazon to connect to your Twitter account and tweet about it. There isn’t a lot of choices but I will definitely use it to watch Last Night after I saw the preview starting the charming Keira Knightley
Google Offers Beta
After getting their purchase bit rejected by Groupon Google is starting to enter the local market with a new product called Google offers. It is currently in beta so there is only available to a handful of locations. The video is extremely vague regarding how the service differs from Groupon and LivingSocials so we will have to see. I hope they come up with a clever twist!
Free Tree at Lowes on April 23rd
If you visit a lot of blogs or social media I am sure you are well aware of Earth Day. This year Lowes is offering to give away a million trees on April 23rd is support of Earth Day. If I have nothing planned for that day I might get in line and see whether I can get myself a free tree. Personally I feel planting trees is much more useful than turning off the lights for an hour.
Free Zantac Sample
Zantac is currently offering a free sample of Maximum Strength Zantac 150. For those of you is not familiar with Zantac, it is a drug that helps relieve heart burn. It is quite effective and I always keep a bottle at home just in case. Check out the free sample if you experience heart burn after meals!
My Tahoe Vacation
Last week I spend a good part of my week at Tahoe as a way to recharge and to get away from setting in from of a computer all the time. I searched through different lodging options and in the end I picked a vacation home located at South of Tahoe right next to the lake. My family and I had hot pot for three straight days and it reminded me of how I am saving daily so I can enjoy vacations like these.
The trip turned out to be much better than I expected. South Tahoe is a very commercialized town so it has all the stores you can think of. I play with snow in the morning with my kids and visited the casino at night. The only negative aspect of the entire trip was that I forgot to bring VGA cables when I wanted to watch my own snow sliding recording. A note to self, always bring your own VGA or HDMI cable when you are traveling. If you are thinking about purchasing a HDMI cable be sure to check out www.Optimization-World.com.
On a side note, I started think about my rights as a renter for the vacation home as there are a lot of rules they give you when you first received the key. When I got there the was a burned area on the kitchen table and I started to wonder what are my rights. In case you are wondering about tenant and renter rights, be sure to check out Tenant.net to get more information!
Now the vacation is over, time to head back to work!
Amazon Deal of the Day: Starcraft II Wings of Liberty
Amazon is currently offering Starcraft II for $39.99. I spend countless hours playing Starcraft I when I was a teenager as it was among my favorite game to play. As life gets busier I have cut down on the number of hours I spend playing games. However, Starcraft II does trigger some really fond memories. One thing that I don’t like however, is how the game campaign is broken up into different releases in a way that you have to pay three times in order to play all three campaigns.
How to make a professional baseball
I have been a baseball fan ever since I was a little kid. I was really glad that I was able to go to one of the World Series game last year when the giants won the World Series. I recently received the above video from a friend of mine regarding how a professional baseball is made and it really opened my eyes. I didn’t realize that the last piece of the ball was actually manually sewed and it takes about a week’s time in order to create a professional baseball. The workers are fairly efficient as 350 people can produce 8000 ~ 10000 baseball a day. Now only if I can catch a ball when I am at an actual game!
If you are a baseball fan, be sure to check out the video. I personally find it quite fascinating.
$20 Amazon credit for Portal 2 pre-order
Amazon is currently offering $20 Amazon credit for Portal 2 pre-order. The game is currently priced to be $54.99 on Amazon. With the $20 Amazon credit the price comes out to be $34.99. Not a bad price for a new game these days as most new game cost close to $60. I personally like first person shooter games as I find them more less difficult than the typical RPG games.
Here is the cool looking trailer:
