Bloggercon notes - Blogging as Business

Genereal problem for busniess on the Net in Iran:

• People in Iran have no access to any Internatioanlly accepted credit cards

• Iranians advertisers are far away from getting the power of Net advertising

But anyway, I did ahve Google ads on my persian blog, but it didn't work out well. Google doesn't support Persian content so they needed me to have at least 50% English content on my page. I did it, but the ads were very low-valued because the keywords were not exspensive enough. (Mainly iran etc.)

Then they changed the entire system so only charity ads were shown on mine since the begining of April. Therefore I turned to BlogAds. But Blogads has only been good for popular political blogs from the US. I don't have that market for my Persian blog, so I've tried to target unknown bloggers to sell them BlogAds. Still testing this one too.
