This is a weeklyseries that will include a brief summary of the latest articles that have beenpublished on The Tribulation Times Herald-Exhorter. Hopefully, this will encourage you to gocheck out some truly outstanding articles that have been published by a numberof truly outstanding authors. Moreover,I hope this will also encourage you to want to become a contributingmember/author, as well. The “HearYe! Hear Ye!” site explanation near thetop of the side-bar should answer many of your questions. Yes, this series also included an “SOS! (SpamOn Saturdays)” segment before, but itjust wasn’t working for me. Therefore,that will be replaced by a republishing of one of the Trib articles.
[K.I.S.S. II?] has me wondering if Black Veil Brides could be another KISS.
[Ron Jones – Star Trek – Where No One Has Gone Before – Talk With Mom] includes afairly well done video slide show from Lavender Darwin.
[Why I Will NEVER Have A Vasectomy!] is by you know who about you know what.
[Ham, Anyone?] contains a cartoon that I think is really funny.
[Lavender Darwin Captured and Arrested By Militant Urologists!!] indicates that it may bea while before we hear any more from Lavender, and that he may be speaking witha much higher voice when we do.
LastMarch, I published [Slick Adgitizing] as part of the [Come Monday] series onAsTheCrackerheadCrumbles. It was abouthow several place non-Adgitize ads right up against the Adgitize widget, whichmakes them indistinguishable from the ones that Adgitize members click-on toget points.
Afterexchanging emails with Ken Brown, the owner(?) of Adgitize, he assured me thathe would check it out when he finished some project he was working on. I never heard anything back from him afterthat, but several weeks later, I did notice that he had added a razor-thinborder to the widget, which was useless from my evidently overly cynicalpoint-of-view.
Withno official notice, many more are now doing the same thing. I was preparing an update, which would haveincluded linked-icons of the sites that I have noticed, but I suppose it is amute point now. For my patience with Mr.Brown has run-out, and I will be deleting my Adgitize account in the next dayor two.
No,it is not just on account of the slick adgitizing issue that I am leaving. For when I went to renew the ad for thissite, I found that I did not have enough in my PayPal account. When I went to see what was going on, Idiscovered that the last payment I had received from Adgitize was on September8th for $12.59, which was down from the $15.31 that I had been paidon August 6th.
Needlesslyto say, I was confused. For a post is publishedeach and every day on AsTheCrackerheadCrumbles, which is where the Adgitizewidget is located, and several articles are published here each week. Furthermore, I had been making enough dropsto earn the limit of 100 points every day until I stopped last week on accountof having better things to do.
WhenI asked Mr. Brown about what was going on via email around four hours ago, Ireceived a reply a couple of hours later, which is certainly commendable. What he said was not.
I am showing earnings of $3.18for September and $4.73 for October. That is less than the necessary $10 thresholdto receive a payment from Adgitize.
When I look at your points earnedfor September and October you are earning 270 points a day which translate into9 to 11 cents a day. On the 3 days in October you wrote an article on your blogyou earned over 350 points. That would have earned you around 54 cents a day.It doesn't appear you have written an article since mid October that we haverecorded.
To behonest about it, I have never understood his points system, but I suspect thatthe main reason for why my income decreased so rapidly is on account of thecontent. For last February, he notifiedme that much of what I publish was falling well short of what he considers tobe original content, and after I explained to him that there is still a greatdeal of work involved in even publishing my [Sites To See/A Sunday Drive] and[WhiteHeart Wednesday] series, he graciously apologized and all went merrilyalong until September.
Alas, Ifirst joined Adgitize in April of 2009. If you want to stay, proceed at your own risk.
***UPDATE***
Sincethis was published, I received another email from Mr. Brown that suggested thatI had not informed them of the RSS feed change to AsTheCrackerheadCrumbles,which occurred after the original Feedburner RSS feed for that site just quitworking. Since I had not received anynotice of them no longer being able to pick up my feed, I assumed that it hadautomatically switched like it did in other cases. Nonetheless, I am still done.
