A Clean Slate, Sort of…
Friday, July 18th, 2008This blog was part of an advertising marketplace up until recently. I have to be honest about my reasons for the change. The money that could be earned through ‘paid posts’ dwindled to the point where it became a waste of time. This happened for two reasons.
The demand for this type of advertising dwindled after Google penalized blogs that were participating in the practice.
Tens of thousands of bloggers from Malaysia and other low wage countries joined the first come first served marketplace.
I wasn’t paying that much attention in economics class, but I think that a reduction in demand combined with a surge in supply is a situation that forces a market shift.
So, anyway, I was able to justify spending several hours blogging everyday when it was helping to provide for my family. That is not the case anymore.
