Anyone Need a Google Wave Invitation?

Google's latest buzz is called "Buzz". I'm still wondering if there are people who still uses complex service Google Wave, after the launch of Google Buzz. I'm a big fan of Buzz and am pretty regular at it. Last time I logged in to my Wave account and noticed that I'm given the power of inviting others to Wave account. I don't know if there are people still interested in trying out Google Wave. However, if there are people out there who are still hunting for a Google Wave invitation, request one here.

WordPress.com Lets You Insert Adsense

2

Under certain conditions, WordPress.com (the free hosted blog) now lets its bloggers place adsense in their wordpress.com blogs. Recently, while exploring through the WordPress support page, I’ve found the update which was not announced in public. This is a short post to let my readers know about it.

WordPress.comWordPress.com is the best free blogging platform the earth has ever seen. :D Anyone wanting to blog can start blogging in less than a minute. It takes hassles off, makes blogging faster, easier, and unworried. Yes, you don’t have to worry about the data of your blog. WordPress.com has a strong backup of your data in more than one datacenter making sure that if one falls into the sea, others remain stable.

You are allowed to buy a few upgrades, but you aren’t allowed to run your own ads on the WordPress.com network. If you’re willing to pay a high amount, then you can. But for personal bloggers, no one will buy WordPress.com hosting. Self-hosted takes less money.

For years, wordpress.com authority has been saying that it is thinking about enabling end-bloggers to put their adsense ads so that they can earn a few money from their blogs. At last, wordpress.com has come up with a beta testing feature that calls ‘certain bloggers’ to put up their adsense ads.

The feature has been named “Ad Control”, under which a blog having over 50,000 pageviews per month can put their adsense unit under the condition of sharing the revenue with wordpress.com. To put simply, the total amount of revenue will split 50/50, which means half goes to the blogger and other half to wordpress.com.

The conditions are simple,

  1. Your blog has to get over 50 thousands pageviews per month. It will make you eligible to apply.
  2. If your application is accepted, you will serve adsense ads to your wordpress.com blog. Half of the total amount you earn from that wordpress.com blog will go to wordpress.com and the other half will remain at your account.

If you meet those conditions, you can apply for Ad Control feature on your blog. Simply email to ad-control@wordpress.com.

I suppose that many bloggers don’t have a wordpress.com account which receives 50k pageviews per month. This is because premium bloggers don’t start at wordpress.com. But those bloggers who already have this amount of page impressions per month did not start blogging with a view of making money online. But today, wordpress.com gives them a chance.

What about you, reader? Do you own such a busy blog in wordpress.com? Or you are going to create one right now with a target of getting over 50 thousands pageviews each day?

More on this topic:

  • I don't know why the blogger will host his/her blog on wordpress.com if they get 50k page view per month? And why should they share their hard earn money? It's always better to go with self hosted, lot cheaper and much freedom.
  • Agreed. Actually, WordPress.com is the only solution if one wants to blog
    for fun; not with a serious motivation of making money online.
  • Nice opportunity for members
  • Thanks for sharing
  • I used to have a blog at wp.com but never had the chance to hit that kind of traffic or perhaps i was not blogging any particular niche. 50k+ hits is a viable target a blogger can aim.
  • That's true. But as a hosting, despite all restrictions, wordpress.com is really cool.
  • benlang
    Thats great for people who use that, more money for them ;)!
  • Yes, I've always used wordpress.com and still I do. But none of my wp.com blogs get that much pageviews a month. :( Maybe someday they will do, but then we'll see that wordpress is allowing adsense for all. :D
  • wordpress is great to work with, theres soo much you can do now with all the great plugins you can install, WP is a must if youre thinkin of setting up a blog!
  • Agreed. :D
  • That's cool, I never used wordpress.com before and I knew it doesn't allows you to put ads. I have started a Plog at wordpress anonymously and will be blogging there from now on.
  • Oh really? From the first time I have been blogging in wordpress.com and my
    http://aminulislam333.wordpress.com is almost two years old. I have trashed
    all posts of that blog several times and started over again so you won't
    find my previous posts there.

    Still I have been blogging in wordpress.com at several blogs, which include
    a secret one. ;)

    By the way, won't you share your new wordpress.com blog URL with us?
  • Cbviously, a great news. Now wordpress.com bloggers can monetize their blog and will get more inspiration.
    I think after certain time wordpress.com will open it for all wordpress.com bloggers.
