Comments- once again I am overdoing SEO and not targeting sticky content enough! On the other hand SEO enables me to take 2 weeks off for vacation (in Goa ) with less than 10% dip in traffic

Advertising-

Banner Ads-

Clients included- Predictive Analytics World Conference Series (Vendor Neutral Conferences), Rapid Miner (Open Source Enterprise Software for Business Analytics), JigSaw Academy (E-Learning for Analytics) and an occasional ad from CloudNumbers.com (Open Source Cloud Computing)

I am thankful and humbled by their support- they help me give gave content for free, pay server bills  to ZippyKid hosting (Rackspace) , WordPress Premium Themes and GetClicky software.

After August 16, I decided to test Adsense.

I love the confusion matrix for the AdSense ads, or maybe the content is too confusing .

Yes I am plotting to disrupt the internet advertising space! Wait in 2012 for Facebook and Micorsoft’s version of AdSense!!
