Is Blogging Bad for Your Health?

They work long hours, often to exhaustion. Many are paid by the piece — not garments, but blog posts. This is the digital-era sweatshop. You may know it by a different name: home.
A growing work force of home-office laborers and entrepreneurs, armed with computers and smartphones and wired to the hilt, are toiling under great physical and emotional stress created by the around-the-clock Internet economy that demands a constant stream of news and comment.
Wow. Digital-era sweatshop. Thanks, New York Times, for the vote of confidence (last I checked, three health incidents in a population of millions did not an epidemic make)!
Project Wonderful: First Week Review

This is the end of my first week as an ad publisher on the Project Wonderful ad network.
It is clearly the ad network for small sites and small publishers. As long as you set a minimum bid of $0.01 for each ad box you put up, it should be pretty easy to to earn at least $0.01 per day per ad box, regardless of the amount of traffic you receive. You can withdraw funds when your account reaches $10, or you can re-route funds from ad publishing into placing ads of your own.
It does take a few days for your ad boxes to become established in the system. Your ad boxes don’t show up in a search until the next day. The average number of page views per day is tracked over the last five days, so if your ad box is less than five days old, you will be averaging in zeroes.
Project Wonderful: A Trial

I just learned about Project Wonderful, an advertising marketplace. It works on an “infinite auction” paradigm—basically advertisers bid a price per day for ad slots. As long as that advertiser is the high bidder for that ad slot, its ad is shown every time the ad slot is loaded.
Project Wonderful tracks page views, but ad rates are based on the auction, not on the number of page views. Using Project Wonderful does not appear to conflict with Google Adsense’s terms of use.
You can bid $0.00, so you could potentially get advertising for free.
