Ads

I wasn't expecting a huge amount of revenue when I signed up for ads from Google but, so far, I have recieved absolutely nothing from that fine organization yet my blog is festooned with bra ads (why bras?) and I get nuttin'. My advice: keep your site clean.

Internet and radio exposure

Well, it took a long time but I finally recieved a favorable review, with a link to Amazon, from Dean Barnett, of Hughhewitt.com:

And Faith Middleton, of Connecticut's WNPR, apparently mentioned the book favorably (I missed the shows but a friend tells me I was mentioned twice in the past week). Sales ranking at Amazon before the link and mention were between 967,000 and 1,000,000 plus - they've jumped to between 87,000 to 45,000 now. These aren't copies of books sold, mind you but, rather, where a book stands in comparison to other books' sales. So Dean Barnett jumped me over 950,000 other books. That may translate into 10 sales - who knows? But it's still huge. The hope, obviously, is that word of mouth will carry the book beyod Greenwich, where I've sold several hundred copies, into the great beyond. We'll see. In the meantime, I received a whopping $85 direct deposit from Amazon so there are 10 Amazon buyers already. Slow going, but fun.
