LM-BLOG RELAUNCH COMPLETE
Site Sponsor :
Welcome to LM-BLOG, we are once again back and posting as of August 8th 2011.
I have managed to let this site really fall away over the past year and know I have lost most, if not all of my regular readers. So I must try my hardest to build this back up to its previous highs when the site got up to an Alexa rank of around 45,000.
There is only one part of the site left to relaunch and this is the logo. I plan to do this when I have some extra spare time so that I can make it look at its best. For now it is not a priority to have a “pretty logo” but more important to give users great posts .

Adsense is back
Well I have decided it is time to re-introduce Adsense to my blog in the hope of monetizing the site a little. To both help finance the site and also too give me some extra cash.
What is Adsense ?
I am going to experement a few different placements, within the layout. Firstly looking at the footer of the page, then moving onto the sidebar (placed roughly where the Adgitize ads are) then I am planning to work the Google Adsense ads into the posts to see how this works.
Read MoreProfits miss expectations – Google
Internet giant Google has reported a sharp rise in profits and revenue in quarterly results that nonetheless failed to impress Wall Street.
Net profit for the three months to the end of June came in at $1.84bn (£1.2bn), up by a quarter on the $1.48bn it recorded a year earlier.
Revenue was $6.82bn, also up sharply on the $5.52bn posted a year ago.
However, analysts had expected better and chose to focus instead on operating expenses, which increased sharply.
As a result, shares in Google fell more than 4% in after-hours trading.
‘Strong growth’
“They’re throwing more money into research and development than people were expecting and a little bit less into sales and marketing,” said Colin Gillis at BGC Partners.
“Google has been pretty clear that it’s going back into investment mode. They added 1,200 people in the quarter, which means more expenses are going to kick in in September.”
Read MoreWorldOMeters – Information Live
Okay I found this site while I was looking around the internet to find out a rough number of Google searches conducted each and everyday. WorldOMeters is an absolutly amazing website with information from almost every aspect of the world.
It uses information provided by governments and agencies and then finds trends and uses these to create expected levels of each thing for each day. These levels are then divided up throughout the day and added “live” to give a fairly accurate account of what the level of each topic is.
IT covers :
- World Population (6 aspects)
- Government & Economics (7 aspects)
- Society & Media (9 aspects)
- Environment (8 aspects)
- Food (7 aspects)
- Water (3 aspects)
- Energy (11 aspects)
- Health (15 aspects)
Obviously with each of these it covers numerous aspects each with its own little live counter. Some counters are even linked back to show you how and where their information was sourced.
Read MoreAdgitize to Provide Targeted Marketing
Press Release by Adgitize :
Read MoreMany advertisers over the last year and a half have requested the ability to target their ads to specific markets within the Adgitize Ad Network. Target Marketing is the ability to show your ad only on specific publisher blogs that write for a specific subject or category.
Target Marketing to Subject Matter
We received the first request for targeted marketing back in December 2008. An advertiser requested to only show their ad on blogs with a subject matter of sports. Target marketing will allow our advertisers to specify a specific subject matter category like sports, computers, politics or music and video. Adgitize has created 32 specific subject matter categories within which our advertisers will be able to specifically target their ad.
Adgitize has also created regional or continent categories, so you will be able to target a specific area of the world. This new geographic categorization will enable advertisers to aim their ad to a particular audience.
