Since Google introduced Google Reader, I find myself reading blog updates everyday without having to check each blog individually. As an alternative to subscribing RSS, you can now receive the update summary of multiple blogs in a single email every morning. Blogarithm lets you enter the blog address that you would like to watch for updates, and send a summary of updates, for all blog addresses you have entered, to your mail box. Do try Blogarithm if you are not on any RSS reader.

MSN adCenter, which is still in BETA, is currently open for advertisers. If you are interested to promote your site through MSN search engine, you can try your luck to register at their site. I wonder when it will be available for publishers. Currently, publishers will need to have invitations to participate in the program. Hope that they will produce something new and useful for publishers, especially for bloggers!

I came across a new advertising program, AdGenta. They are providing another new idea in the advertising world, which is targeting to bloggers. All their ads are given in image format which can be inserted to blog entry anywhere you want. It is suggested that you use Qumana blog editor to insert Adgenta Ads. However, I still don't have the chance to look at the sample ads (I guess there's some IP filtering problem where only part of the world able to see the ads). So, I don't think I'll have the chance to try it. Hopefully they will address the issue soon.

As everybody knows, Adsense performs badly in forums. Until recently, Google noticed about it and made a post on how to optimize Adsense to do better in forums. They've made some research and provided a heat map as a guide for forum webmasters.
