I just realized that the blog just passed the one year mark. It’s been a blast!... Read More

At the moment my best money maker by far is TNX. Web devs are notorious for not clicking ads, the money I’m making from CPC is ridiculous, no one is clicking.


It was only when I started with TLA that I started seeing some money in my PayPal account, pitiful as the sums are they are still more than I make from for instance Ad-sense by far.... Read More
