I have read an article about visitors who click and dont click on ads at Yahoo! Shine. And the article states that It’s a proven fact that visitors who click on ads are most of the time the visitors who come from search engines.
I’ve also read that Google AdSense uses “Smart Pricing”. That means that the click-through rate (CTR) is low and your earnings per click is divided by from 2 to 10, depending on your stats.

You have your hands over the keyboard and you try your best to avoid looking at the blank page you have on your screen just to realize that you need to work on it because you have readers who are already having an idea that your blog is dead.
And you dont know where to start. You dont even know where you are. Aint that a bitch?
You are not sleepy neither tired of writing. You just find yourself wishing that everyone who wants you to publish something could go away on a vacation.

In any industry, advertising is one aspect to consider if you want to sell a lot. Even if you have some kick ass products and unbeatable services, you have to put in mind that they will not be sold if people dont come to know about it. You have to advertise so that people will know of its existence. You got to let people know that you have this kick ass business that will give them this and that and *insert you selling line here* and why they should buy from you.
In reality, we have the Television, Radio, Billboards and Print ads as primary medium to market products and services. However, if you have an online business and you wish to bulge in to the sea which is the internet. Then thats another story.
Yes there are lots of people surfing the internet everyday but you have to keep in mind that there are also a lot (and im talking about millions) of websites that are similar to yours that might be even a step ahead on the competition to gather clients. So, how can you tell everyone about your products and services? Unfortunately, theres no megaphone out there cowboy.
The good news is, there are a lot of strategies you can dwell on and utilize.

Slow webhost? rising bandwidth?
If you’re looking for a free minimalist, light and simple theme. Congratulations! You’ve come to the right spot. I introduce you to Modern
.
This theme might be outdated, old and rusty. But It sure has a lot of positive feedbacks to-date, even if it was released more than 3 years ago. With some tweaks and CSS Modification, I say its the best theme to work with if your looking for a minimalist theme.
At first look, you’d be impressed by its stunning look and vibrancy. The typography is good and it looks very clean. Not only that, this theme initially uses 2 Images. One for the Blog Description and one for the Quotes. Saving you a lot of bandwidth if you are being bombarded by heavy traffic.
So what are you Waiting for? Grab a copy now!
