This post will reveal a soft side of me. Do you still remember the movie “Gladiator”? I love the movie so much whenever I feel like watching series of movies, I don’t forget to play it along with “A Beautiful Mind” (Russel Crowe again). If you do not remember the movie, then these photos […]
In monetizing a blog, one can find a lot of networks that could satisfy his taste. Admit it or not, we do not have the same taste in ads to be placed in our sites. Some of us bloggers prefer referrals or affiliate marketing, some love the pay-per-click (PPC) and cost-per-mil (CPM) programs. […]
