Consumers seek cheap thrills
Trading real money for virtual goods
Web 2.0 leaders pull further away from the pack
Online ad prices continue to fall, alternatives help make up some of the ground
Getting serious about monetizing non U.S. traffic

I agree with monetizing outside of the United States… there is a huge untapped marketplace out there beyond the border!

It really makes sense to hit non-US traffic. Not only is it a largely ignored market to most US bloggers, but their currency (in many cases) is worth more than the dollar…but how to specifically target and sell to Euro, Singapore dollar and other currency-spending consumers? Lots to learn…at least for me!
