AKA: how to avoid getting banned by google adsense. Short answer: you should get an adsense account when the online properties you are going to be using it on have at least 100 visitors a day among them. I know this blogpost will likely not be read by those it needs to reach: newby online [...]

Potpiegirl wrote recently that she feels all that talk about ‘following your passion’ won’t make you a living online. At least that’s how I understood this post about niches. She should know. I don’t agree with all her advice (her advice on tags is different from mine – though it’s a nuance thing), but on [...]
