I’ve been blogging here for over a year and a half now. Although many of you come here on regular basis there are still a lot of people who discovered this blog recently. I know my archives are not organized as it should be. So, I decided to point out some of my older works, which you may find interesting.
Here are few posts that you may have not read because you are a new reader or you still haven’t checked the archives.

MyBlogLog Buzz
January 5th, 2007 at 2:31 pm
Update: After del.icio.us and Flickr, MyBlogLog has finally been acquired by Yahoo!.
Did you notice that MyBlogLog craze is taking over the blogosphere? I tested it out when it was only a blog statistics service for tracking outbound clicks and then forget about it. There really wasn’t anything that much different to all the other web statistic options available.
Recently MyBlogLog transformed to a social networking tool for bloggers and did again get my attention. The widgets, which lets you see photos of people who recently visited your blog, are showing almost on all blogs I know. How does it work? Each MyBlogLog member who visits another site with the MyBlogLog widget installed will show up in the recent visitors list with a link to blog communities and user homepages where you will find additional information about each person.
I didn’t implement the recent visitor widget because I still don’t know where to put it but when I stumbled across MyBlogLog comment avatar plug-in I couldn’t resist not to install it in the comment section. It takes the user pictures from MyBlogLog and sticks them up as an avatar whenever someone leaves a comment.

How I Have Made Money Online In 2006
December 30th, 2006 at 5:09 pm
Time for a year-end wrap for 2006 which also happened to be the best year ever for me so far. I’m not going into exact revenue figures but just point out the programs which worked for me. Note that I received cheques from all programs below.
1. AdSense
AdSense is is probably the most steady aspect of my online income. A little more than 65% of my revenue comes from Google AdSense. The figures have doubled from the beginning of the year.
2. Affiliate programs
Have I ever mentioned how much I love affiliate programs? Although I’m barely averaging a three figure affiliate income each month, the trend is definitely up and I hope I kept at it in the next year.
3. Text Link Ads
Selling text link ads through TLA network has become a very important revenue making model for my blogs in the last couple of months in the year 2006.
4. Review Me
I wrote 4 reviews for Review Me during the last month and did get a decent amount of money for them. I wish the trend will continue and Review Me will become a steady online making money option for me.
5. Chitika
I’m still using Chitika but it doesn’t bring much money in so I’m considering leaving the program in 2007.
