The World of Contextual Advertising
Puneet Mehrotra has a good article introducing the The World of Contextual Advertising. He writes - ‘How much? Good question. I know of webpreneurs whose earnings range between $200 to $2,00,000 per month. Of course, it’s not child’s play. But no one said earning big bucks is a child’s play!…’
