Chitika’s eMiniMalls ad program
October 10th, 2005 at 7:08 pm
The past couple of weeks everyone has been talking about Chitika’s eMiniMalls ad program. eMiniMalls are contextual ads and are delivered in a very unique way through a javascript-based code, similar to AdSense.
This program can be run in conjunction with AdSense & YPN if you disable the contextual aspect of it, and use keywords only:

ch_query = “keyword01 keyword02″;
Like many others I’m very satisfied with eMiniMals running them on one of my other blogs (not known to my readers at the moment).

Zero to Million dollar homepage
October 6th, 2005 at 11:36 am
It all started with a crazy idea from a guy Alex Tew. The 21-year-old, living in a small town in England, would like to graduate in Business Management without debts after 3 years. To fulfill his dream he started a site called The Million Dollar Homepage and it’s selling pixels at $1 each in blocks of 100. Because the simplicity of the idea it just managed to take off and the owner has already raked in more than $276,500 at the time of posting this entry.
