A New Dumaguete Blog.

Dumaguete has a new blog.......My Dumaguete . The precise url is http://dgte.i.ph/.
This is a description of the blog, taken from the blog itself,
"My Dumaguete is for all DumagueteƱos here and abroad... a perfect place to share all their thoughts, news, events, experiences, grudges, chika, and any articles that feature our great but humble city, Dumaguete.
Submit your article now. Talk about your firsts, your adventure, your complaints, your poems, and yes, chismis... hehehe!!! Yes you can... so long as it is about Dumaguete."
The site hasn't been around long but it already has a few interesting articles. I'm looking forward to seeing how it evolves.
I've already put a link to it here and will be putting it on the Blogosphere page shortly.

The 2nd Adsense Check

Below, is a duplication of a post I just put up on my "Sorry, all the clever names are taken." blog.

In October of last year, I wrote a piece for another blog about receiving my first Google Adsense check.
I mentioned, in the piece, that I had set up the Adsense account in December 2006 and it took eight months before I made the $100 minimum in order for Google to send the check.It takes quite a few clicks to reach that amount.
It's now March, 2008 and the amount I've made since the first check has finally topped the $100 mark, as well. So, any clicks I get between now and March 31 will add to the second check.
I've done everything I can think of to induce folks to click on my Google ads.There are ads here and in several locations on the Dumaguete website.
Even when I did "spoof" pages for this blog....like my phony Canadian Govt. website, my fake Communist Party of Canada website and the news website I made for parodies.....I put Google ads on them to try and pick up a few clicks.
I know from the Analytics reports that I get a fair amount of traffic on the website and blogs.It would be nice, however, if more of you would check out the ads.
