HTNet - A Notepad of Tech, Business, Science and Self Improvement

OK, who else is sick and tired of all the “make money online” brouhaha that never seem to bloody end?! I for one, am; which is why I’m really glad that I found this post from Bootstrapper: 12 Creative Ways to Monetize Your Body.

The year 2007 started out with a bang for HTNet. The number of visitors have gone up significantly compared to last year and I’m hoping HTNet will keep this up. Here’s a screenshot of my visitors stats for the first quarter of 2007:

Any suggestions for a more suitable tagline for HTNet? I’m all ears!

Everyone wants to get on the AdSense bandwagon. Many people see it as a quick and easy way to make money on the Internet. The good thing is that you really can make money via AdSense. Heck, I have a decent side income via AdSense running on HTNet.

However, I’ll be the first to admit that my earning per click is pretty low because HTNet is not really optimised for high AdSense earnings. By optimised I don’t mean ad placements or things considered technical.
