Information

This blog was started on 01 Aug '06, when some ex-students (ecommerce) asked me about how to make money from blogging.

So everyday, I will set aside some time from my business to consolidate and create articles. Profile of Paddy Tan

FAQ

Will there be any loss to the visitors that click your ads?
The answer is No. Every click is payable by the providers (e.g. Google, ClickSor) which charges advertisers for a fee to place their products or services via them at your blog.

In another word, the money you receive is in fact from the advertisers and these providers are just middleman that faciliate the service.

So do I click any ads when I am visiting others' blogs?
Why not? If it is something that interests you, a recommended product or services that you find value add, just click it.

The visitors get values from the links, the bloggers get to earn some coins or dollars, the ad providers make a cut also and the advertisers get to have a new potential customer too. Everyone wins! :)

Count it 02

In addition to placing counter at your blog, you can also place this very nifty tool with a world map showing where your visitors are from.

Clustrmaps.com
Locate all site visitors. Fast. Free.
See at a glance where your site's visitors are located: instantaneously, even when the numbers are enormous! Visitors don't need to click on anything: just viewing your page is sufficient.

One thumbnail map on your site shows it all: We provide (free) the HTML that gives you a thumbnail map, like the one on the left. When it loads, it increments a counter and shows the locations of all the visitors to your page, cumulatively (even for huge numbers). Clicking on it zooms in to a big world map, and (optionally) lets you zoom in to the continents, as in the example below.

For the fun of it, I also created one and placed it at the bottom left. Should be updated by tomorrow (take note of the time zone difference)
