A few weeks ago I noticed that I’d started earning regular money through affiliate links on one of my other blogs - Chocablog.
After looking into it a bit further, the reason became obvious. Easter was approaching and people were looking to buy Easter eggs online. A lot of the pages on Chocablog have good [...]

I’m currently testing Kontera on Money Blogger, but it’s one of those things I have a few reservations about.
I’ve been using it on my personal blog for a couple of months and click throughs and revenue are pretty good.

You’ll notice in the top right hand corner of all Money Blogger pages at the moment that there’s a new ad format I’m testing - peel away ads.

I’ve been blogging semi-seriously for just over a year and a half now, so it’s taken a while to get there - and given the fact I’m living in London and the exchange rate [...]

If last week’s fuss over sudden loss of PageRank on many blogs proved anything, it’s that you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket.
