Bloggers Passion

DISCLAIMER- I have done no research on Text Link Ads before this one because these are my personal experiences. Enough has already been written about link ads and this post is about how much they are effective. The blog and names have been omitted to respect their privacy.

Advertising is all about innovations and how much you can offer your advertisers in the minimum possible price.

And to an extent, I consider Text Link Ads an innovative ad spot.

WHY SO?

It is because few years ago, one smart blogger took

Blogging is surely a tough job in many senses. Considering the fact that you are the lone blogger in the vicinity (in your area or locality), there are lots of distractions that keep coming in the way and longer time it takes to success, you can easily get less and less motivated as the days pass by.

Actually, I have not been able to post in last one week because I have my interview for State Bank of India Associate Bank probationary Officer Exam on 23.07.2010 in Delhi and I have been preparing for it voraciously. Preparations have really been going hard and I never thought that interview and Group discussions need this much preparation.
