Formula One season begins soon. It is coming very interesting season now in Formula One. Kimi Räikkönen (Finnish) is a Ferrari driver and Fernando Alonso is driving with McLaren. Also Heikki Kovalainen (Finnish) is now race driver in a Renault team, so in a my point of view it is coming very interesting season. And that is because there is now 2 and a half Finnish drivers in Formula One teams.

You may now wonder who is that only half Finnish driver. Well he is Nico Rosberg. If you did not know his father Keke Rosberg was the first Finnish Formula One champion in 1982. (more…)

I got email from Criteo. They have build a new widget called “AutoRoll” and now they are looking for beta testers. Well, I figured that probably it will not make any harm to test it. So I installed that into my blog. You can find this new AutoRoll section from the bottom of the left sidebar. Check it out and leave comment if you liked or disliked it.

You may now think that what the hell this is all about. And here is the answer, it is a direct copy+paste from email I got.

What’s all about? AutoRoll is the blog roll of your readers. It’s a widget that displays links to blogs your readers are visiting the most often.

How does it work? We trace the number of visits of each unique reader on each blog that has installed AutoRoll. The more often a reader visits a specific blog, the greater his affinity is with this blog.

What are the benefits for you? First of all, you will provide your readers with a very entertaining blog roll, based on other readers with similar reading habits. Moreover, you will get highly qualified incoming traffic for your blog. Indeed, as other similar blogs display your blog on their AutoRoll, they will feed you with new readers with a strong affinity with your blog.

I would really appreciate if you leave some comments about this, so that I could make decision to keep or remove AutoRoll.

Starting your own blog is not always an easy task. I have googled a lot of about terms like adsense, making money online etc. And there were no way to avoid bumping into site John Chow dot Com. If I googled adsense tips or what ever it was regarding to making money online, one name came up always, John Chow. Who is this man I asked from myself. And so I visited to John Chow dot Com. After that visit, my eyes went big as footballs, WOW, is that possible to get so much just for blogging? And while spending more time in John Chow’s blog, I realized that he is a true dot com mogul. I might say that he has his own dot com empire, where he is the king. It is amazing how fast he managed to make serious amount of money with Google AdSense and other programs. (more…)

If you are going to travel, you need good to have luggages. Do you ever had situation like below?

We went on vacation to Paris last year and it was incredible. We saw all the usual sights and had a great time. The only complaint whatsoever we had was that the luggage handlers tossed our bags around so much that a few of the wheels broke off our new samsonite luggage set.

If you have same kind of experiences, you probably want to ensure that your luggages have a good warranty. Buy your luggages from eBags and you can find that their warranty and service are extremely helpful.

It is for this reason that I strongly recommend eBags.

I added section called “MY LINKS” to my right sidebar. You have possibility to get your blog link to that list by sending email to me or by leaving comment including your blog address. If you send email, remember to include your site name and address. As its name says, this is a link exchange project so if a put your link to that list, I will expect you to return the favor.

This is a good way to generate more traffic to your site and the best thing is that it costs nothing. Just remember to add my blog address to your blog. I am using BlogRoll to display links. There are fifteen links visible at the time and when I have more than fifteen in my Link exchange project, displayed links are then sorted randomly. So if your link is not always in the list, do not go to panic. It will be still in my list and it will be displayed randomly. I think that it is a fair system for all, because all links will have same amount of visibility.

Now it is time to reveal my first earnings report. Actually these figures are from the first two weeks, not just one. I had a very low traffic rates in the first week and that is the reason to show numbers from the past two weeks now. At this week, my traffic rates are raised a little bit higher, but still my site suffers a lack of traffic.

Weekly earnings report (2 weeks):

Revver.com                                &nbsp 5,05 US$
AdSense                                    &nbsp 0,83 US$
MyLot                                 &nbsp      &nbsp 0,27 US$
ImageFly (4500 hits=1 US$)      433 hits
Text Link Ads (referrals)           0
Eefoof                                 &nbsp 283 views

TOTAL: 6,15 US$

As you can see, figures are not very great. Especially AdSense is suffering from low traffic rates. Eefoof earnings are calculated every month based on individual page views, so I will have exact numbers at the beginning of April. In February they paid 3,72 US$ per 1000 hits, it is a pretty good ratio at least in my mind. At this moment I have 283 views.

Traffic rate from past two weeks is somewhere near 300 visits.  MyBlogLog has been the most biggest referral so far.

MyLot earnings are very little because I did not had enough time to spend in there. I think that overall my MyLot incomes will be very little due to fact that I do not have much time to read and reply/post  to discussions. But it is a good place to promote your blog.

I do not have required traffic rates yet to show Text Link Ads, and I am only involved in their affiliate program.

Weekend is coming and it is time to be relaxed from work week. Maybe I grap a few beers tonight and enjoy watching good TV shows. I am also reading a good book from Tom Clancy called "Without Remorse".

And remember: on Sunday it is time for a new "Weekly link list" competition, so come back then and leave a comment to get your blog address to " Weekly link list".

Have a nice weekend!
