Advertisments

A short note on commercial matters. This site will display adverts. By now it is a test. Questions: Does it work? Does it look good? A report will be published here in around three maonth. What ever the outcome will be, there needs to be a solution tackling the raising traffic efforts. Does somebody have experience with PayPal?

News Quakes

The pic above shows the hourly traffic from the 3rd to the 8th of January 2006. free-penguin was listed prominently at digg.com which led to a huge increase in traffic. Unlike the recent makezine-post, this traffic did not lead to a whole lot of new free penguins. This is the main stream I guess ... and it is not worth a lot.

Captain Tux

Free Tux Breaking News from Livejournal land: Captain White Beard - Curse of the South Shetlands - was sighted far from home. He was accompanied by a cat. Welcome! .. and respect to Lehni!
