Nuffnang

There are only 2 online blog advertising communities I've ever used, that is Google Ads and Nuffnang. Some of you may struggle in choosing the right advertising community, so do I. So, I would like to share my experience of using both ads communities during this short period.

I had started to use Google Ads (in another blog) before using Nuffnang, that was about few months ago, if not mistaken. However, from the start till the end, I never earn even a buck. Anyway, I have to admit that I never put any effort in promoting that blog.

After that, I gave Nuffnang a try, in both of my blogs. To maintain the "glitterati" status, I removed my Google Ads codes. Then, until now, I've earned RM0.50, each blog get 25 cents. I don't know which is better, but I would like to share some of their pros and cons.

Google:
Pro: It generally knows user's interest by collecting the keywords they searched by google searching engine. This makes the percentage of clicking the ads higher.
Cons: It is quite boring because its ads are full of words.

Nuffnang:
Pro: It is more attractive in the first glance because contain nice graphics with animation. I also comes with 3 different sizes. Besides that, the most important thing is, it also pays for Cost Per Unique Visitor, basically I also don't know what is that, haha.
Cons: It is really hard to find a blog template that can support all the 3 sizes of its ads, like what I mentioned in previous post. Another thing is, the ads won't appear in the page regularly. Sometime, it even slow down your blog loading period.

So, what's the conclusion? You may tell me your experience for me to get the right answer. Good night, and sorry for my poor English, hope you all can understand it, lol...

Tonight, You are Mine

Ah. Ahh. Ahhh!

As what I mentioned in previous post, the templates searching process almost killed me, then I changed my strategy to edit the html codes in the template. After busying for that whole night, I still din't manage to settle the codes.

So, tonight, codes, you are mine. As what I expected, I defeated the codes. Ceh, not even a contest. Haha. Be honest, the codes made me feeling so suffocated. I have to replace the missing pictures, change the colors and fonts, remove the unnecessary components and reorganize the whole thing. Yeah, I think it is done now.

Playing with the codes is not fun at all, but at least I learnt something. Therefore I felt so excited. Haha, something goes wrong...

Again, Selamat Hari Raya Puasa. And good night. Cheers.

Haiz...

You know what? Blogger templates choked me!

I've devoted myself into template searching. At first, I was looking for Tracy McGrady or NBA theme, but found nothing. Therefore I decided to find green color theme. When I thought I got the right one, you know, it doesn't support nuffnang ads. I meant there is no enough space to put all 3 types of its ads, including header-size ads.

After that, I kept searching and searching. The templates found either contain no enough space as mentioned or contain some errors (eg. picture cannot displayed, descriptions text alignment). The unsatisfied results forced me to give up on searching.

At last? The templates searching campaign had ended up with html codes editting. You know, this is the first time I "communicate" with the html codes so intimately. It took me a few hours - yet I had done nothing. However, I have no other choices because I only can get what is fine for me by editting codes.

The html codes choked me badly. I had a suffocating time. But never mind, I will continue my job tomorrow and you'll see how I defeat the noob codes. Good night. Oh yeah, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, to John and Alvin. (rotf)

About Blog Template

Few days ago I was trying to search a satisfied template for my blog. But failed. Perhaps of my lack of searching skills. But what to do? Do you have any idea about this?

Actually I tried to search for Tracy McGrady themes. Yet I just found one, which I don't really satisfy with it. I wonder how they creat their own templates. Is there insane skills needed? If not, can anyone teach me?

Yeah, there are quite a lot of sites provide blogger templates. But when come to special themes, such as baller, then the results become lack. It is better if I can creat my own template, of course. So, would you save me? Haha...

So It Begins

    First of all, I have to say sorry to my friend - John Loo Keat Leong, because I just copied the title from his first post in his blog. Haha. Noone ordered him to write so well. Nonetheless, I won't copy his contents as there's a term, namely 'copyright'. But don't blame me if I imitate your way of writting, haha. 

    For those who don't know much about me, I am a boy. (I think some of you may leave because of this...) I am not nice looking, well built and anything you think may be a good trait in a boy. I am currently at the age of 18 and I am a Chinese from Malaysia. 

    I would like to meet people of different culture, especially Tracy McGrady's fans. Tracy McGrady is the most favorite player of mine. Other than him, i love 2 more guys, namely Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. Of course, all of these are for basketball only. 

    In politics, I prefer Lee Kuan Yew, the first president of Singapore. Erm, what's more? Jet Li, Albert Einstein, Jing Kong and many more. Among singers, perhaps I prefer George Lam, Anita Mui, Sandy Lam etc. I better stop here since I don't think people are interested in it. 

    Now it's the time to tell you all my aim of making this blog. It's just simple - to improve my English. Of course, if you are willing to teach me, you're welcomed. But make sure you won't charge me a buck. Haha.  

    By the way, if you are generous or helpful enough, would you mind to correct my mistake or provide me the better sentences in the post? (John, I know you are that kind. ) 

    So here is the end. Enjoy.
