Yes. Trendonyms.com is 100% free. How in God's name are we able to manage that, you ask? It's easy.

First of all, the software used to create this blog is free, courtesy of Google. Notice the nifty toolbar at the top of the page? That's Blogger. If you're thinking about starting a blog, we highly recommend it. While it's not as customizable as WordPress, another popular blogging software suite we've used, it is very newbie-friendly. We also seem to have better success with search engine optimization and rankings.

So if Trendonyms.com is 100% free, that means we make no profit from it, right?

Google AdSense

Well, actually, no. Although we don't charge our readers, we still earn a small profit on the sly through advertising. For example, notice the "Ads by Google" links on the top, side, and bottom of the page? Every time someone clicks those links, we generate revenue. It's a hassle-free system that blends easily into any website. Check it out by clicking on the the graphic to the right which says, "Generate revenue from your site with Google AdSense." It's right above the About Me block.

Kontera

Our second form of advertising is run through Kontera. Notice the double-underlined links? When you hover over them, a small ad pops up, and if you click it, we receive a cut of the profit. If you'd like to implement , go to Kontera.com and sign up now.

AuctionAds

AuctionAds is an eBay affiliate. Using a series of keywords, you can customize what eBay auctions are displayed on your website. Whenever a user clicks on the auction and wins the item, you get paid. Trendonyms.com is currently running AuctionAds with the keywords "popular culture" or "pop culture" because, well, isn't that what trendonyms are all about? Hopefully our readers find these items relevant to their interests. but we'll continue to tweak the advertisements as necessary. You can find our Auction Ads at the bottom of the sidebar on the right. Visit the AuctionAds website if you're interested in putting auctions on your own website.
