I’m looking for advertisers to place their banners on Ghacks and would like to give everyone the opportunity to earn some money when they refer advertisers to my website that book advertisement. The payout will be half the money for the first month which means it is a minimum amount of $150 and a maximum of $2500 depending on the ad spot sold.

Payments are made after the advertiser has made the payment and will be by PayPal. Other payment options can be discussed privately. I suggest you take a look at my advertising on Ghacks page to get the most important details. Here is a listing of all ad units and costs that are currently available:

Half of that money can be yours if you refer an advertiser who books the spot for at least one month. Use the contact form on my website if you want to let me know about an advertiser.

Wow what a milestone. My blog finally reached 6000+ RSS readers for the first time which is an awesome milestone for me and verification of the progress of this blog in the last two years. I never thought that I would reach the 6000 users this quickly and I’m thankful for each and every user who is reading my articles in his RSS reader.

One of my goals for 2008 is to reach 10000 RSS readers by years end which would mean a doubling of last years subscriber rate. So, its only 3931 to go until I reach that goal. The numbers go down and up all the time though but a general upward trend is clearly visible.

It took roughly one year to double the RSS readers from 3000 to 6000. Oh, that sharp rise in March 2007 was due to the FeedBurner FeedSmith plugin which routes all RSS feeds through Feedburner. Before that only Feedburner stats were counted.

I like shoes made by Etnies who happen to have a online store where you can create your own shoe. Unfortunately though they only ship to the United States which is why I’m looking for someone who would be so kind to order a pair of custom made shoes for me and send them to my location in Germany afterwards.

I would pay for all expenses of course and add a $20 bonus for the work and time that you are putting into it. I’m also not that sure which shoe looks the best. I did create some and would like to hear your opinion about the shoes, which one shall I take.

You can also play around with the creation if you like, the link is right here and leads to the page where you can create your own custom pair of Etnies shoes.

I would pay the amount for ordering the shoe and shipping it to my location by Paypal or Google Checkout whichever is preferred.

I hope you all had a nice evening yesterday. I would like to take the opportunity and preview the things to come in 2008. 2007 was an astonishing year for Ghacks and I have great plans so that 2008 will exceed the last year in all terms. You can expect roughly 1500 new posts this year written by me which should keep you up to date with all the latest trends, programs, services and hacks that you can imagine.

My guest authors will hopefully contribute 500 articles as well which means that we will publish 2000 articles in 2008 altogether. You might have noticed that the Friday Fun series was discontinued here at Ghacks. This is not because I do not like it but because I’m going to build a new blog that has only one topic: games.

It will cover free online games plus free games that can be downloaded and introduce one game per day to the readers. That’s my first project for 2008. The next big thing is a web 2.0 project that I’m currently programming and designing with a friend which will hopefully launch in January.

I wish all of my readers - be they regulars or new ones - a wonderful New Year’s Eve with lots of whatever they like to do on that day. May the year 2008 be in every aspect a better year than 2007.

I have decided to not celebrate New Year’s Eve this year and several of my friends are doing the same. It will be a quite day for me but I know that most of you will go out to parties.

I would like to thank each one of you for their continuing support of my website and hope that you will bombard me with even more valuable comments in 2008. Thanks, you are the best readers in the world.

Have lots of fun and take care ! See you in 2008.
