Looking on Alexa.com’s “What’s hot” page you see what the current internet trends are.

if you are a Facebook user, you know that right now everyone is complying with the latest trend of changing your Facebook photo to a cartoon character of your choice. The object of this is to not pick the same cartoon character anyone else uses. So people are searching for images steadily and contsantly.

Here is the current most searched.

And here is a brief explanation of how to play along. facebook end of the year photo.

I have not yet seen a Voltron or a superman, nor a HeMan for that matter.
But hey, a facebook Cartoon Doesn’t have to be the coolest.

I am personalizing my Facebook Cartoon Profile picture.

A while back I wrote “Adbrite Vs Adsense” took a year to gather the information for that review.
one thing that makes that post unfair, is I was not using an advantage that Adbrite has over Adsense. Adbrite uses inline ads, and adsense no longer does that. Or at least my account does not. I am not going to use the full page pop-up pop-under ads that Adbrite uses, since that annoys me even more than inline ads.
I took some time to read other reviews of Adbrite affiliates and they all use the inline ads and make a ton more money than what I made.
One downside is I know that Adbrite ads are not very “on topic” which means I could be talking about computers and Ipads, while the Adbrite ads will be about a laxative.
I have used inline ads before and saw a drastic drop in my site traffic when I did so. My return visits nearly stopped completely. But i have to do it. I need the money.

I will turn off my ad blocking (modified hosts file), and check my posts individually and see how well I am holding with my ads. See if my ads offend me. if they do then i will have to remove them. If I can’t stand it, then I am sure my readers can’t stand the ads.

If you have any idea how Adbrite pays, let me know. i am still not impressed and need some positive comments from experienced users. Or negitive if it’s really needed.
