I was just on the Globe and Mail today and noted they are using Google Ads on their site. This strikes me as somewhat odd.
I see Google contextual advertising as a source of revenue for those who wish to reap a little money from their content - but normally, those who are using the service are not already funded.
So, is the Globe and Mail not making any money? Are they not selling their own advertising?
Shane Birley is a blogger, huge geeky nerd, web developer, poet, and creative writer based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He is a partner at Left Right Minds, a web development, arts management, business blogging and on line marketing company.
Just in case you didn't know, I co-wrote Blogging For Dummies! Before you send me any congratulations, questions, flowers, or blow me any number of kisses - why don't you go buy ten copies and make me rich and famous.
Or you could just buy a copy since it is a really good book and it has loads of great information for those of you out there who want to jump into blogging because it is fun and exciting.
What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.
