AdSense Sucks? Another Solution To Monetize Your Blog!

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

Recently, Google is acting really weird… Their shares prices are increasing very fast (From around $400 2 years ago to more than 600$ today)… Google is monopolizing the WWW just like the may Microsoft has been monopolizing the desktop market for decades. Today, Google is making more and more enemies by following some stupid strategies. I can never trust Google anymore! I see bad reviews everywhere and webmaster have become a bit more aware. How does it feel like to see a Page Ranked 8 blog dropping to 5 (The very popular blog: OneMansBlog.com). Webmasters are doing what Google asks and guess what, they’re getting punished!

How many times have you ever checked their Adsense Optimization Tips! I did so many times follow their tips and I end up “Smart Priced”. I mean why shall I show Google Ads on the top of my page to make it more noticed but the ad click will have a lower probability to make a conversion then you get smart priced (Your ad click price drops damatically). Imagine earning around 0.4$ per click, and you have around 150 ad clicks on your websites daily! You might wanna rely on that average of 1800$ per month and maybe quit your Job… But listen, Google is the one you cannot trust today… They can ban you at anytime, or maybe lowering the CPC on your websites 10 times and you end up earning around 200$ if not less with no alternative job! I mean if one of the best and most ethical bloggers (example: John - OneMansBlog.com) gets punished, how can you trust such a system?

I decided last week to remove my Adsense Ads from all my websites and tried WidgetBucks! Guess what! I’m making 10 times more with that system, their widgets are cool. Google ads have become so popular that a non technical grandmother would recognize them as Ads… I have a higher CTR with Widget Ads, higher CPC and I can choose what ads to publish. Sign up here and you can try it along with Google Ads… I’m still experimenting with WidgetBucks, they’re making a huge buzz on the net. They’re new of course and you can never know whether they’re gonna make it or not, but giving them a shot is worth it!

I referred a friend of mine (Dany - Web Developer) and he was like WTF? I made in few hours what I made in Adsense the whole day :D.

So, if you try this new system, please write me back some reviews please

Note that the links for WidgetBucks provided on this page are not direct, they are referrals. So make sure you show a referral link on your blog too. If you don’t wanna make it through my referral link, simply visit widgetbucks.com :)

Happy earnings and please share your experience!
Stay tuned

MTC Touch Bill Notifier!

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Do you hold an MTC Touch fixed line? We have developed at Fusion Media Labs a nice and simple tool that keeps you up-to-date with your MTC Touch bill.

Why did we develop that? Simply not to get chocked in the end of every month! This way you can keep track of your bill status every time it updates and you’ll get a Toast Notification on the bottom right of your desktop (Similar to MSN Messenger’s notifications).

Here’s a screenshot of the application:

Defeating The Brutal AI in Tiberium Wars Kane edition

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

CNC logoRecently, a new trend in our office (Fusion Media Labs) started to take place! Playing games? haha, yea! Tiberium Wars in particular. Nick (khayye el asleh) brought us a copy of Tiberium Wars CnC3 DVD and installed it on 3 Desktop PCs on a network! (I meant that we bought 3 original copies :P ehhh) Youni (aka Jad Younan) started practicing and defeated almost every visitor to our office (yea it’s still an office :P). But why the hell am I supposed to be working while Youni is playing Tiberium Wars? ;). So I decided to practice (especially when he leaves, just to sound working not playing :P). Then Marwan started showing around almost everyday to practice Tiberium Wars (khayyna Marwan :D). I was never able to beat Youni! no one was able to do it! (Marwan did it once and we celebrated that time haha).

Anyway, after a month of practicing, we were all able to beat the Brutal AI! What I’m gonna show you today is how I did beat the Brutal Balanced AI on the Deadly Sertao Map without building any war factory (for tanks) neither barracks (for infantry) nor Air Fields.

Note that you should have the Tiberium Wars Kane Edition installed in order to run the Replay!

A small message to Youni: “Jeye yawmak!!!” :P (CHECK THE UPDATE)
To Marwan: “laaahh laaahh laaah… Badna nrou2!!!”
To Nick: “Chou why did you disappear???” (He’s afraid!!!! :P)

Update: Eja yawmak!!! I defeated Youni in 6 minutes 40 seconds :D He’s really mad now!! :P
