Beta Adsense for Videos

Comments (3)By Ahson Rafiq in News on 23rd February 2008

Adsense for videos was launched in beta a few days ago, what i like about these units is that youtube is like the most watched video/entertainment site on the net and having ads within the videos can really really increase the revenue, which also makes me think why cant we make flash players to insert adsense into flash?

I’ll say this right now, i am not a coder so I have no idea if this is doable but if it is its worth giving it a shot, google is.. Self hosted videos, with adsense…thats where the money is!

Imagine sites like Veoh and Miniclip having ads within their flash games and videos, they could increase their revenue by 250% at least by my calculations!

Some downtime for me - Breaking the blogger’s block

Comments (2)By Ahson Rafiq in Blogging, News on 23rd February 2008

The last few days i was forced to have some downtime (isp issues) so i went along with it and got myself a nice little 2 day weekend, and i gotta tell ya that was the best thing that happened to me because i was going through a blogger’s block and had no idea what to do and where to start and no idea of upcoming topics on blueverse at all, this little break of mine got me enough rest and relaxation (not really, i was partying) to get my head straight and full of more ideas for blueverse.

The down time helped me focus on:

  • Future Posts
  • New ways to get traffic
  • How to make blueverse even better
  • Ideas to manage and expand my blog network from 2 blogs to even more
  • Ideas to use more affiliates on funk tonic
  • ..ehm and a few other personal life choices

Through all of this the idea to be a full time blogger and quit my college life came up several times but i always ended up not doing that as even though it seems like a good idea, its not.

Finishing your school/college life is crucial so even if your blog is making good money - never quit your studies!

Just a few tips to optimize your downtime :) There’s a lot coming up - Subscribe to me for all the rich goodness!

The feedreader count updated almost an hour ago and i realised that i had lost 50 readers then i started looking around and i saw most of my i-make-money-online-by-telling-people-how-much-money-i-make-online-john-chow-dot-com_1203630468625.pngblogs lost alot of readers, but it doesn’t stop with just me, i remembered reading a post from johnchow that said he had broken 16k readers so i went over to his blog and was shocked to see that he had lost 6,000 readers over night, its really weird I’m waiting to be updated on this matter soon.

My best guess is that the most idle email subscribers were removed from the reader’s count, bu still it doesn’t make sense so many peope won’t just get up and leave in an instant like that..subscribe to my blog for more updates on this matter. Below is my screenshot, for a growing blog such as mine every single reader matters.
