I took some time off from my assignments to write this entry.  Assignments are killing me.  Anyway, back to the topic.

As a computing student and an IT fellow, I never liked the idea of the internet by just writing about stuff and getting paid for it.  It sounds too good to be true.  The internet is full of traps where people get conned of their oney and sorts, like the infamous Nigerian letter.

Previously, the things that I don’t like is

• Most of these people are located overseas.  If you need to call them for some reason, you’ll have to wait until it’s the right time and spend on IDD calls.
• As a computing student, I just don’t trust them.

Things have changed.  Blogs are the “in” thing now.  There are loads of people blogging and these Ad companies are looking more and more legitimate.

In the Malaysian scene, there are two companies offering these type of services, Nuffnang and Advertlets.  I don’t know about Advertlets, but Nuffnang is getting big.  Every blog I go, their ads are there.  They hold gatherings and movie previews and stuff. 

I’ve been reading TImothy’s blog for some time now.  He is the co-founder of Nuffnang and he doesn’t look like a Nigerian Prince. 

So the things I didn’t like previously is solved, they are located in Malaysia and I trust Timothy’s infamous mole.

So I went to Nuffnang’s site, thinking of registering myself and get some ads, so that I could make some money out of my blog until I saw the first condition that I must accept:

My blog has 20 or more unique visitors each day.

How am I going to get 20 visitors to my humble blog?

So I gave up registering.  Maybe next time.
