Recently, I've been trying a variety of tools and networking sites for developing my two blogs...http://issuesoncall.blogspot.com/
http://maxyourping.blogspot.com/
...and have results regarding a couple that I should share and in return I ask for your feedback regarding your results on these tools and networking site options, along with suggestions.
I mention four below.
Blogger
http://blogger.com/
...a great tool with great templates and ease of use. With this site, you are able to develop your blog with great ease and FREE OF CHARGE, including the fact that you don't have use another domain to host your blog. This is a great opportunity for getting a feel for the blogging market, and I am testing the limits of how long and how far Blogger will work for me and my needs. I love Blogger!
MySpace
http://www.myspace.com/
I tried to use this tool to start blogging about the content currently on this site (http//maxyourping.blogspot.com). However, I've learned that MySpace is not so much about blogging and much more about social networking. This is not a site I would use to post a serious blog with serious articles. I would not recommend using this site for networking unless for social (singles type social) reasons only.
Adsense
http://www.adsense.com/
...another great tool, especially when used along with Blogger. Options with this tool are such that there are multiple types of ad links, sizes, options. I am still playing around with the types of ads, sizes, appearance. So far, the tool is very user friendly.
AdsDaq
http://www.adsdaq.com/
With this tool the user is supposed to make more money than with Adsense. The HTML from Adsense is supposed to be used as back-up, in the case the AdsDaq ads are not available and you replace the Adsense HTML on your weblog with the AdsDaq HTML. As far as compatibility, the ads are supposed to be compatible with Blogger/Adsense. However, I tried this over the past few days and the AdsDaq system messed up my Adsense ads. Additionally, when I checked back with AdsDaq, a message stated that Blogger would not accept the code/ads. This leads me to believe that they were not so compatible. In addition to that, this set back my earnings on Adsense due to the overlay code, diverting my clicks to AdsDaq. If someone else has had a better experience, I'd love to hear about it.
Here are some articles that I highly recommend regarding today's topics (yes, I dugg them on Digg).
