So it got me thinking... most of us here would like to make money from blogging, but I think it's pretty important that we keep in mind it's not just about the money... if that's all we care about, it will eventually distract us away from putting good contents on our blogs. Nobody wanna read a blog that is filled with ads. Nor do they wanna read content that is written in a strange way (strange coz the writer filled it with loads of high-paying keywords, for example). As long as you're putting your heart into it, writing content that your readers enjoy reading (not writing content solely for higher-paying ads to show up), they will become loyal readers and keep coming back for more. I think that's pretty much why I found myself landing on Darren's blog at least 3 times a day... ;) A friend downloaded the FF using the button on my blog, earned me 1 buck and told me he loved it – he can now browse the web faster and he thanked me for recommending it.

The curves aren't anti-aliassed, which means although they are not very smooth, they can be set against a transparent background. So when you put the buttons on your site, your own bg color appears behind the curves. If they were smoother and anti-aliassed, you'd see white corners on the buttons. Google made the right decision.

My 13 year old nephew tells me he can make better graphics on his Photoshop and that the curves are very rough with poor pixel usage ... whatever that means :-) Personally, I think the designs are of poor quality – the corner curves look very amateurish to me.

O btw, may I suggest a site that I personally think is pretty cool, but it sure isn't meant for serious / business blogs / sites... not bad if you just wanna have some fun with your blog tho... <a href="http://explorerdestroyer.com/" rel="nofollow">Explorer Destroyer</a> ps. I think the "rollout order" of their new ad images is pretty random, coz I'm only making VERY, VERY little with AdSense and I'm sure I'm not one of the "selected"... ;) Cheers ! Thanks for the link Darren ;)
