Web Advertising Research

Researching on the Internet is bound to pay off eventually. At least that is my hope. I have recently signed up for Google's AdSense program for the purpose of trying the ads out on my blog sites. So far, MSN blogs seem to be the most searchable and updated blogs on Google's blog search, strangely enough. Google blogs are easier to edit and have better ad support, however. There is still a lot to learn about blogs but I think I am getting a more clearer picture of what is going on here. There are definately many more services I plan to research but for now, I will stick with Google and MSN, the "big players." I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Google will pay me to get people to download the Firefox browser with Google Toolbar. So if you haven't tried Firefox yet, you may do so from here or my site and you will be helping to keep the live scanner feed going on my site, which by the way still costs me a bundle to keep it up. BTW, Firefox is still, truely the fastest browser available in IMHO (In My Humble Opinion).

Don't forget to vote in the polls!

How many blogs can you have?

Wow this is fun. I have created so many blogs now I'm making myself sick. This one in particular is of great interest to me since I had made it as my first blog, then deleted it. Left it for months. Searched for it, found it, and recreated it. And here it is. Totally boring but my typing speed has been vastly increased since I began my GD/NMP course this past October, so watch out!. I will decide later what to use this blog for, if this post even works. I never realized you could have two blogs on the same blogger, whatever that means.

If you find the "Art of Search" to be as entertaining as I do, type in "Saskatoon Snow" and see if you can find anything that has to do with our snow storm here in Saskatoon that dumped 7.5mm according to Environment Canada, 6 inches according to Saskatoon's NTR Radio, 25cm according to CBC, and about 10cm according to me, however, my camera had been recently smashed due to something which I would rather not discuss here, so, no evidence = no snow=me upset=me blogging like crazy. Who is me? Well, that is the name of the game. You can post a comment here.

So go ahead and name me. This might be fun to see if anyone has the guts or is even reading this shit. Most blogs don't have any information about the writer, so why should I give anything for free anymore? Where is that ad thingy anyways...
