The main reason why I still fill this blog with entries, albeit mediocre and boring ones, is the prospect of getting advertisements on this blog - to earn money. Money makes the world go around *dollar sign spinning around my head*.

there are a few companies that acts as agents for advertisers to hunt for bloggers to sell advertisements. Companies such as nuffnang and payperpost pays bloggers anywhere between US$5 to US$200 to write articles and advertisements on their blogs. This advertising tactic is becoming more and more popular as bloggers get to earn money for what they enjoy doing - blogging. The audience reach depends on the blogger’s network and traffic but because most bloggers incorporate the advertisements into their blog posts, many readers would read the advertisements without even realizing that it is an advertisement.

The problem with this money making opportunity is that as blogging seems more and more like a way to make a quick buck, more bloggers are jumping into the bandwagon. This means the competition is getting tougher and advertisers have more choices of quality bloggers to chose from. I hope my blog would miraculously increase its pagerank and traffic, but I guess as Princessa said, ‘pagerank don’t drop from the sky’. So, if you find my mundane way of blogging interesting, please link to me and help my cause - to make money.

Thanks.

SINGAPORE : Singapore Changi Airport’s ultra-modern Terminal 3 - the largest and most expensive of Changi’s terminals - opened its doors for business on Wednesday, amid much fanfare.

The S$1.75 billion terminal adds a capacity of 22 million passengers a year.

This brings the airport’s total annual capability, in one of the fastest growing aviation regions in the world, to about 70 million passengers.

The government is building more airports, is this indicative of Singapore’s future prospects? With the government move to bid for big world-class events like Grand Prix and Youth Olympics, we would definitely expect more traffic to Singapore. However, will hosting world-class events and casino resorts (Integrated Resorts) boost our economy and prevent us to fall with US economy?

Will our moral compass direct us towards the west, where most first world countries have similar cultural ideals that does not really align with Singapore’s ? ‘Freedom’ is amongst the many ideals that Singapore is lacking of. Some thinks that Freedom is synonymous to a positive ideal, is it really?
