Splendid Things

I think all of the bloggers who have used both blogspot and wordpress for their blog platforms will agree that wordpress is far more superior than blogspot, though the tweak isn’t as easy as blogspot. However, aside from the fact that it is easier to use, many people all over the world use blogspot because it is completely free and one can generate revenue from the blog created within the platform. On the other hand, the free version of Wordpress doesn’t allow you to generate revenue from online money making program such as Adsense. What if I tell you that there is a free blog service with more decent features as compared to blogger and you can also make money from the blog you create with it?

It is IdeaFry that makes it possible. By using Wordpress Multi-User Edition, it enables you to have a Wordpress blog with the possibility to earn money. Unlike Wordpress that is typically more difficult to learn to tweak the design and other related aspects, IdeaFry makes it easy for you. This service serves ads on a 90-10 sharing basis so if your page is viewed 100 times, your ads will be shown 90 times. All in all, this blog service could be your solution if you want to have a wordpress-engine blog with the ability to earn money from ads, but still not ready yet to move to your own domain.
