Smorty, a paid to write review site, has come up with the In-Text advertising method. The site which is well famous for it paid to write reviews opportunities has started the In-Text advertising which Kontera is pretty famous for (made famous by John Chow actually!). If you are new to making money online, I suggest you to read this blog on how to make money online.

What Is In-Text Ads?

In-Text Ads is something that appears like a normal link but with a double underline. It will show a popup advertising when the mouse is placed on the link. It looks more like a normal link that readers, sometimes, get confused and click it unknowingly and gets redirected to a new link.

When You Get Paid?

You don’t get paid when someone places their mouse over the link or you don’t get paid for every impression on your blog. You get paid only when the ads are clicked. The difference between Kontera and Smorty is that smorty will be showing products that are available in Ebay, Amazon and such sites in the popup box.

Surely something for bloggers who are trying to make money online. Will you be trying Smorty’s In-Text advertising or mini store (as they call it) method? Please share your views in the comments.

Twitter is a social media site which is used to update your friends on what you are doing within 140 characters. I don’t know why the 140 characters limit. That should be another big story I guess. I don’t know why, but there is a lot of blog posts on twitter in the recent days.

Twitter is good and I use it everyday to get new friends and to have touch with those who are already my friends. Suddenly, many blogs have started to write about twitter. The reason? Well I don’t know. I have written a post on twitter too. You can read that post here which emphasizes on how to get more twitter friends.

Fine, let’s see few blogs which have blogger about twitter and also some other references.

Take a look at the Social Media category of Sphinn, a social media site which I like.
