Get a Mac Ads

Here are a bunch of Get a Mac ads from Apple’s site. Creative… very creative…

BlogCounter.com

I had been hearing from my friends that there were pop-ups opening up every time they went to my blog. At first I didn’t agree cause it never happened with me. The reason was that i always use Firefox with the AdBlock  extension. But when I tried opening the site in IE, the pop-ups did indeed appear.

I have been making a lot of changes to this site, so I went through and started checking all the new Javascript and php files that I had added. One of the new things added was a counter from BlogCounter.com, which was the culprit. I didn’t read the terms and conditions before installing it. It clearly says:

4. Advertisement

4.1 The user agrees to the fading in of advertisement banners, advertisement texts, pop-up windows and pop-down windows during the use of the services provided by Blogcounter.com.

4.2 Blogcounter.com reserves the right to modify the respective advertisement form without prior notification.

So the moral of the story is

  • Read the terms and conditions before signing up with a service (something that I never do)

Google Adsense

Opened an account with Google Adsense a few days back and added the scripts into my site today. It’s a nice system. More the ppl that visit this site, the more are the chances of them clicking on the ads and hence higher is going to be my earning. Currently, i am not expecting to earn anything, as I don’t have so many ppl coming here onto my site. But, then there is nothing wrong in starting an adsense account and then trying to get some extra money. Maybe someday it will be enuf to pay for my hosting.

It’s a nice funda. U get to select the kind of advertisement you want to display on the website and then select and totally customize it. The best part is that the contents of the advertisement are tailored to the contents of the webpage they are being displayed on.
