What's with Stumbleupon?

I used to have great results from Stumbleupon on BHT for a very long time; I'd bookmark a URL and voila! 200 immediate visitors come rolling in.

Not any more. It's like the Stumbleupon traffic gates just closed on my site. I wonder why. Is it time to stop bookmarking and start socializing? I hate socializing.

LinkWithin is so cool!

One great little service for Blogger as well as Wordpress blogs is LinkWithin.

LinkWithin is a widget that allows you to show those "You might also like" links below your posts, linking to your other related posts. It is free and works well with text or image posts.

Probably the most useful widget ever, my visitors love it!

Now Trying Chitika!

So, my adventures in advertising continue. After trying BidVertiser and a very short and useless stint with Clicksor, I'm now trying out Chitika on BHT.

Chitika sounds great in theory, but I fear it will lack the kind of ads that suit my niche. Will wait and see, I guess.

Bidvertiser is a Scam

An update on the Bidvertizer front: This company is a total scam.

In the two weeks I tried them, they haven't registered a single click, not even the test clicks that I clicked myself. When confronted with that in a support ticket, they replied that there's nothing wrong with my account. I've removed it now, and am looking for greener pastures.

To sum it up, Bidvertizer is a SCAM, don't use them!

Is BidVertiser Any Good?

This blog isn't my main site. My main site is Bad Hebrew Tattoos, and the experiments and experiences told here relate to it.

Well, today I've decided to drop good old Adsense and give Bidvertizer a try. Adsense prices my clicks really low, so Bidvertizer sounds promising, what with its ability to filter ads and the $10 payout to Paypal. On the other hand, it has some bad forum reviews, even referred to as a "scam" sometimes. We'll see.

So, for the month of August I'd be testing out Bidvertizer on BHT. At the end of August I'll post the results here.
