Advice Post : Ontok Highlighter

Ever wondered how much time you spend blogging, and how much you could be earning if you were working and being paid?... i've done the maths on the bunch of blogs I write and its worrying. I dont want to sell out and sell advertising space, but i'd like to earn a few bucks while I type.

A new service has hit the web which may just do this, Ontok. This is a pretty cool service for bloggers. I came accross it whilst surfing the web and i'm just experimenting with it now. In essence ONTOK HIGHLIGHTER helps you monetise your blog without compromising your blogging integrity. It works abit like adsense whereby paid ads are displayed when a user hovers over a word or phrase in your blog.

I've tried a few ways to make some extra bucks for my blogging time but none really pay, this one could be the exception. I like the way ads are only shown when someone hovers over a word rather than the others where ads / banners takeover the look and feel of a blog.

Check my next blog submission where i'll have this activated.... So far from the examples i've seen and the demo on the ONTOK site, it looks pretty clean and the revenues are quite good.

At last a decent way to make some money whilst blogging !!

Check out the ONTOK product overview i've added below. Go to their site and check the demo's. I really think this might take off big time.
