Google let me back in
A while back, on one of my first websites - google banned me. This was for “invalid clicks” I’m sure many of you readers have allready tried logging in, and finding out that your account “no longer exists” Well, that has happened to me around september last year. After an appeal, i simply gave up.

At the start of this week, i decided to give it another shot after hearing that some other people got let back in. I was also confident that they would let menewsha in. So, i sent the application and to my delight, yesterday they sent me the “Welcome to Google Adsense!” E-mail.

So, i’ve put adsense up on menewsha now. I’m going to try my hardest to keep all visitors to abide by the rules, and the ads are positioned so they are barely noticable. It will be a great second income source, i may also set up some mini-niche sites. However, definately no Myspace resource sites or proxies for now

I won!
Quite a while ago, i posted Menewsha up in the Retireat21.com “Show and tell”forum, which you can see here I saw an announcement in that forum, the TBIA (the best idea award) Which had a first prize of $500 and the “underground online marketing seminar” dvd & cd sets.

All i did, was post the link to my menewsha thread, which was very popular.

I was lucky enough to win the 1st prize In the competition, which i did not expect. I have the dvd’s and cd’s with me. I plan on watching them soon, and i have that $500 in my paypal

They offered me some investors to come and look at menewsha, but I declined. I don’t really think investment is the right way to go right now.

So, i’d just like to say a big thankyou to retireat21 and midascode for the competition, it was a great idea They also interviewed me, which can be found here

Menewsha updates
Menewsha’s going very well at the moment, hard work but it pays off. We are still getting people buying contribution items, and we almost have 1,500 members and 150,000 forum posts. I am currently planning on working on a new eye system, where users can colour their eyes, choose whether to close each eye individually etc…

Menewsha is currently growing at such a fast rate, it will be hard for me to keep up with it soon. I barely have time to check out the forums anymore.

I’m going to france this weekend, so if anybody tries to contact me - i woun’t be back until monday.
