I have joined into two new affiliate programs. Those programs are Bidvertiser and amazon.com associates program. Those display ad boxes same way than Google Adsense. If you are using Google Adsense, you are limited to three advertising boxes per page. And when joining for example those two ad programs, you have possibility to add more ad boxes to your pages. It is also nice that Bidvertiser is paying minimum of only US $10 via Paypal.

It is interesting to make comparison between those affiliate programs and see which is doing the best money. By using all those three programs I can maximize my advertising income with all my blog pages.

I found a couple of nice sites to check my blog value. Well, at least those will tell some calculated values. But don’t we love those statistics. It will be funny to visit sometimes in those pages and check if your site value have increased.

First link is to dnScoop. By putting your address to textbox and hit “Check it”, it will display a lot of information from your site. For example pagerank and estimated site value. The second link is to Page Strength SEO tool. It shows for example amount of links pointing into your site. Below is a copy+paste about what kind of information you will get with that tool:

The Relative Importance and Visibility of a Webpage
The Potential Strength and Ability of a Page to Rank in the Search Engines
Data on Popularity, Links & Mentions of the Page Across the Web

You can find the same information from other pages too, but in my mind those two links gather a lot of nice to know information from your site.

I think that it is quite handy to show my local time in header. When you leave a comment you can check my local time and make your own predictions that when I probably answer to your comments. And it is also nice to know what time is in different countries.

I think that a lot of my readers are coming from very different timezones. In Europe there is not so big differencies between timezones, a +/- few hours. But when I look timezones in for example USA then there is a major difference, it could be -8 hours. So if I write post at midday it is very early morning (or night) in the USA.

That is very simple rule (K.I.S.S). And I am also following that rule with my blog posts. I am trying to do things as simple as I can with my blog. You may noticed that I am not playing with any fancy or tricky sentences in my blog. I am trying to write posts as simple language as I can. I only hope that people will understand what I am trying to say with my posts. You can always leave a comment and ask if I can explain my post more.

I found good article from Productivity501 posts, which is related to my todays topic. You can check it out, it is called simplicity .

Sometimes it is better to do things just by the simple way, it may be the fastest way also.

Ok, it is time to summarize this week earnings. First I would like to say that it has been very interesting week with my new domain. I have had a lots of work with modifying looks of this blog, but it has been very enjoyable time. I have also learned a lot of new things, mainly Wordpress related.

Now I am going to take away a few of my earning programs from my list because those are not worth of effort (At least I think so). Note also that I am using actual week numbers in my report, not the time when my blog was started.

I got this domain on Tuesday and I have used Wordpress since then. This week went pretty much in learning different Wordpress features. But I can now tell that Wordpress is superior compared to Blogger software. I have so much better ability to modify my blog looks and possibility to use different kind of plugins is awesome. In my mind whole Wordpress admin dashboard is a way ahead blogger dashboard.

It is easy to create blog with Blogger, but when you want to add something to your template, you have to always download whole template for modifications. With Wordpress I can make modifications only to that part of blog where I want to my modifications to show. (more…)

At last weekend I visited in my local Mitsubishi dealer. They had a new Mitsubishi Outlander 2007 SUV just arrived. In my mind new Outlander looks a lot better compared to old Outlander.
There is a good amount room inside and even I can sit quite comfortable. My height is 191 cm, so believe me, it is not always easy to find good driving position. And there is also enough room for me to sit at the backseats. Nice feature with backseats are that you can adjust amount of legroom. Those backseats are moving a little bit in forward-back position. At the trunk there are a decent amount of space depending on a position of backseats.

I took the car to quick test drive. This car had only 2.0 liter diesel engine with manual gearbox, so you can imagine that it do not offer too much power. In my mind it is a way too underpowered engine for that car. I did not like its behavior. Especially when I am used to a little bit more powerful engines. And a second annoying thing was a gearbox, it is really frustrating to drive a car with manual gearbox when you are used to drive car with automatic gearbox. I have got car with automatic gearbox now about seven years and I can not see any reason to change back to manual gearbox.

It is shame that there is no other engine and transmission combinations coming into Finland, at least not in this year. With a little more powerful engine and automatic gearbox, I would definitely consider a new Mitsubishi Outlander to my next car.

Engine Capacity: 1968 cc
