TWIB: This Week in Blogs IV
Before I get to another edition of This Week in Blogs, I just wanted to update you all on some minor changes I made to the site this week. First of all, I followed suit with Nate and Nomar and decided to stop my affiliation Chowtera, er, Kontera, since I was getting a low click through rate and the overall eCPM sucked. As opposed to subtracting, the new feature I’ve added comes from one of our web development neighbors up north called FeedBuddy. The site generates a nice RSS Button with a drop down menu that you should notice in my right column now, which I hope will get you to subscribe to my blog =)
Now, this Week in Blogs

I don’t blame you about the Kontera links, as I’m about ready to ditch them myself.

On my finance site, Kontera has actually been doing fairly well (at least compared to my previous results with other things). I cannot say the same for my other site but it has only been about two days on that site so far.
Nice links though, I found some new interesting blogs to check out.

Good you stopped performing Kontera to !!

I think Kontera would work well for a very niche blog with high amounts of traffic. I noticed a lot of the keywords or phrases that were highlighted by kontera could not have possibly generated any advertising revenue.

Being on the hunt for a new job myself, I’m sure I’ll be able to use some of these tips for my cover letter. Thanks for the list.
