What's next after AdSense?


It turned out to be that my AdSense account had been suspended for "invalid traffic", whatever it means. It could be someone (could be me or someone else) clicking multiple times the ads on my blog, generating or receiving automated or bot traffic (I am definitely not that sophisticated), or several other reasons that are beyond my comprehension technically.

I do remember that they sent me an email in 2012  I think, saying that my account was suspended due to inactivity. So, the only way was to post regularly. Alas, it became too burdensome. So all my three blogs were practically abandoned in the past few years.

After reviewing those pages of explanations on Google AdSense, I decided that it is almost or nearly impossible to reinstate my account.

Browsing on the internet, I found that actually there are many other services to replace AdSense. Let's try them one-by-one.

But the bottom point is, I need to regularly update my blog.

Let's see how it is going.

Happy New Year, may we have a prosperous year in 2019.

It has been awhile since I last updated this blog. Well, three or four years is rarely awhile ya :)

Always wondering whether people still do read and write blogs with the presence of apps like Line, Telegram and WhatsApp, or social media like Instagram and Facebook.

No promises, just trying to update my blog now and then.

Hoo haa

Oh no, the year of 2015 will pass anytime soon and I haven't updated my blog.

Too many promises, too many broken.

Yet, still make more promises to be broken.

Hoo haa.

Another attempt

After being abandoned for quite some time, I will try to revive this blog. Finger crossed.
