A Game of Tag

I have been tagged. Yep, Carrie from Time Keeps on Flying has tagged me. I am now supposed to share 8 things about me that have never before been told (well,at least not on this blog, hehe). What shall I share....hmmm...well, while I think about this, let me first share the rules of this fun game:

1. Each player starts with eight random fact/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
3. A the end of your blogpost, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their name.
4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged and to read your blog.

Ok..now for my 8 things--

1. I am a die hard Pepsi/Coke addict. Just can't give up those sodas,ah well.
2. I have 6 dogs (yes,we love dogs in this house)
3. I am the youngest of six children
4. I love Agatha Christie books (LOVE!)
5. I am a reality-show junkie (watch them all)
6. I am vegetarian...so is hubby.
7. I cannot stand the taste of butter or mayonnaise (weird, uh?)
8. I would love to live in Cambria (maybe some day...)

Now, for my bloggy friends I will pass this Tag Game Torch on to...

1. The Mom Buzz
2. Babyluvin!
3. It's Just My Thoughts
4. Raising a Girl
5. Mommy's Little Corner
6. The Cajun Blogger
7. Ms. Frugal McDougal

Extra Income For Mommy Bloggers?

Have you heard of Adjix yet? It is a new ad network that allows bloggers to place Adjix shortened links into their blog entrees to earn money when users click on the link. Mommy (and daddy)bloggers may find this as a potential way to make some extra income with their blogs. Linkers share in the ad revenues with Adjix while advertisers get well placed ads. Another cool thing about Adjix is that linkers can track who has clicked on their links. You can read the Adjix F.A.Q. and learn more about this new program.

NEW "LINK SHRINKING" SERVICE PAYS USERS
AND OFFERS A NEW WAY TO ADVERTISE ONLINE

(Carlsbad, CA) -- Adjix, a new online advertising network, has created a powerful breakthrough that can be used to send links to friends and colleagues via email, in blog posts, and news articles. The Adjix service is ideally suited for newspapers, bloggers, and e-mail marketers.

Currently, when sending a link to a web page, the resulting link is often so long that it breaks off, thereby prohibiting the recipient from viewing the item. There are already several websites that shorten links, but Adjix has taken this free service a step further. When the the recipient opens the linked item, a tiny text ad appears at the top of every page. Here are two example ads:

iPod Basics Basic iPod accessories every owner should have. www.iPodBasics.com

"We are very excited to introduce Adjix to the newspaper publishing community. This product offers an innovative and unique way to increase revenue and improve results for both the company and its customers," says Joe Moreno, founder and president of SMS Pal, Inc., the parent company of Adjix.

People who send links using Adjix (also known as "linkers"), will earn cash every time their link is viewed by an individual, and earn even more when the ad is "clicked through" to the advertiser's website. New ads scroll into the top of each web page every 15 – 60 seconds, and can be customized to appear under specific categories, such as health and fitness, business, entertainment, et cetera. This allows advertisers to be more selective about when and where their message runs.

Using this service is inexpensive and easy. Adjix advertisers create a simple text ad and deposit a small fee in their account to get started. There is no cost to linkers to join the network. Both can set up their account in a matter of minutes. "This service will not only make the linking process more user friendly but also provide a great opportunity to expand business for newspapers, bloggers, and email marketers alike," said Moreno.
