One thing done..

Some of you might have noticed the small bluish thing below the blog Archives to the right of this page. Thats the google adsense thing I was talking about. (Yeah..they approved it :) It shows ads relevant to this page and if you click there, I make money! So all I need to make a million dollars is a few million clicks on those ads. Of course getting a million clicks aint easy. However, if this blog were really popular - say 1 million people visited it every day - a conservative estimate of one out of 30 people actually clicking on the ads, would mean a million clicks a month!

Wooh...millionare in a year! Good that I started this blog.

But, as always, there is a catch in this business model (quite similar to Catch-22 actually). To get my readership up to a million readers a day, this blog needs to be well-known in the community. So how can we get people to know this? Advertising looks like the only solution to me. Whatever I may say about my skills as a reader magnet, I know word-of-mouth advertising aint gonna do the trick for me. Do I pay for advertising? Yeah...looks like the only idea.

Any VCs willing to fund it? Aspiring dotcom startup with an advertising based business model here....

For economy's sake

I signed this blog up with Google Adsense. I hope thats not a problem with the readers. I hear that company has been doing too well these days with its non-intrusive advertising and all. They say they will get back to me in a couple of days and tell me how much money I can make out of this :)

I am glad I can do something for the economy. We gotta save the devaluating dollar. I think all secretaries should make a website and sign it up with them.

Damn...another correction

No more late nighters...today can be excused though..I was playing Santa.

So the correction is this. I can not make Don the President of Hawai. It is not a different country - although it is too far down the sea (what is that ocean called - the one along Pacific Coast Highway?). I would have had to make him the President of the whole country and they say I can not do that. Something related to elections and stuff.

I asked him to be the President of Iraq but he said he can not do that. He said that he was an American citizen and Iraq is a different country. So can I not make him the President of any country? Does someone want to be the president of Iraq?

Anywat, since I did not have any other gift for him, I gave him my Santa cap for now. He looks a better Santa anyway.

(Note to self: Find out if I can make him the Governor of Hawai for this week or will this election thing be a problem there also.)

Correction

I am told that I can post now because the elections got over in November. In fact I could post in November also, but I didnt know that. Anyway, xmas is a good day to start. Christ started this day. And as Owen Wilson said in Meet the Parents, "if you are to follow someone, who better than Christ". I think I like Owen Wilson.

Also, I am told I have the resources to kill and dispose off any number of people. So that problem is sorted out...

btw, Owen Wilson is in that Zisou movie as well. I will go see that.

Feeling Bushy tonite

Someone please take care of the economy while I go xmas shopping for the secretaries...gotta find a way to keep them from resigning. Do you think Don will like this Santa cap? No its not a gift. I'll wear it at the party. For the gift I am making him the President of Hawai until new year eve.

Announcing muh arrival to the scene

So after much procrastination, this xmas vacation I did it. Yeps, muh has a blog of his own.

Now you might wonder, why did I deny the world the privelege of reading the most prolific blog ever for so long. The answer is not very simple. But for now, I think this reason will suffice - if you had read what I wrote, I would have had to kill you. And I clearly did not have the resources to dispose off the masses that would have literally killed themselves to read anything coming from me. Now, of course, is a different story - as you will find out reading this blog. But let me warn you at the outset - read it at your own risk - cos I am not entirely sure why the CIA wants me to write this blog now. You see I kinda dozed off in the meeting. (Note to self: ask Rice to keep it short the next time.)

btw, I watched Goodfellas for the 2nd time yesterday and decided that I liked this movie.
