In what seems to be another evolving trend as far as trying to make the most out of online advertising, Twittad seems to be knocking on the door as far as providing alternative solutions towards helping site owners add to their periodic earnings for investing primarily on websites.
Twitter is something that is nothing new to most bloggers. For one, it helps drive traffic and connects bloggers and readers as far as ensuring that all updates are followed closely. Considering that process, Twittad provides another dimension of perhaps adding to the income by placing ads, something similar to the adsense concept.
If you want to find out more how it can help you generate more revenue and traffic, you can check it out here.
Though the service avoids pesky spam twits, it is unclear how effective Twittads will be — most users never go to their friends’ homepages, preferring to view their updates through feeds.
Twittad currently has only 54 active users, but users may jump at the chance to passively profit off of their home pages. Two other services — Twitads and Twitad — are also poised to jump into the space (though Twitads’ Twitter account is currently suspended due to “strange activity”)

Food will always be a good commodity to market. But in the current economy we have right now, it is apparent that investors may want to re-think the feasibility of investing in this line of business.
What makes food a good venture to invest in is the fact that it is something that people need in everyday life. While it does seem that the need to choose wisely as far as what type of food to get into, the growing cost of raw materials and ingredients is likewise another issue that has to be resolved.
In reality, the reason for needing to jack up the prices stem from the fact that raw materials force the arm of most food business owners to adjust their prices. A single cent will make a big difference especially considering that the people of today are saving as much as possible.
As far as advertising is concerned, everything may perhaps be in a standstill. While the best thing to do right now is gain exposure, the returns should not be viewed immediately.
Depending on how long you can hold up your business, you just have to keep your fingers crossed and hope that in the coming months or years, the economies go back to normal.
