The News Room
The News Room? provides people with licenced news clips that can be published or mashed on your website. Their content providers include Reuters, Associated Press and Agence France Press. So you know that you have a news clip worth its salt.
You can get paid up to? four dollars CPM for showing a news clip on your site. In fact I think it is such a great idea. I just may implement it on Carper Diem. Now how cool would that be. You get to read my blog and get to view the news at the same time, while sponsoring Carper Diem’s upkeep.
In case you were wondering CPM is cost per thousand impressions. That means that you have to show the clip one thousand times. But as long as you keep visiting, (or in the case of your website – your visitors keep returning) then you quite quickly build up a thousand visits. And four dollars may seem like a small amount but most websites receive more hits than that on a monthly basis. And four dollars a month is nearly fifty dollars. And if you don’t think that that is money. Please leave me a comment and I will send you my paypal address and you can drop them off into my account.

I also did the PPP opp, and my only suggestion about TheNewsRoom is that when you select which cube to embed, don’t pick the auto-play ones. Because then every time you go to your own blog, it comes on really loud, and you have to mute your speakers!

Good Idea. I may go and change it though it will soon be off front page. I just thought it was a different to usual news article!
Thanks for the tip.
