I’m not on my laptop right now but your blog does look better than some of the others I’ve seen, mostly because you have a cleaner layout. I think that can help considerably. Let me know how much you start making with this would you. I’d be interested to hear.

I think they might be great…they’ve obviously got beau coup money to pay us bloggers.

I just received a full-color postcard from them today.

I’m eager to see my updated earnings, though. I haven’t used them that much for the reasons you describe, but I just uploaded a video on this blog:

Let me know how it looks and loads on your laptop.

Are you using Firefox browser?

Anyway, I think they can be a great addition to monetizing your blog.

And by the way — you can turn off the auto-play feature on videos, which is what I do before I load the videos to my blog as a courtesy to my readers.

Happy blogging,
Paula

i think if used sparingly then there could be scope. I’ll check your blog out and see what’s up. But I’ve been running into increasing numbers of blogs that throw up far too many stories and videos. :et me know how you get on with it, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts.

I’m still a bit undecided on this. I use The News Room on one of my blogs, because it combines free content and ads. I’m trying it out to see if it’s worth it. Had to decrease th number of posts on front page to speed up loading, though.

I can see the bad sides it has, but I’m not convinced until I’ve tried it out enough.
