    Well my blog is in perfect topic with the community... So discussions never die off... The interesting part is most of the time people(in that community ofcourse) talk about the latest news quoting my blog....

    Oh I forgot to mention on more thing... See those related community... They are paid (I ask for $5/month) to be up there... Plus I also advertise link Defencetalk.com paid me $45/month to put up their link...

    Cool Huh??

    Orkut is google's social network. They should really advertise it more in the US.

    I want to know whether the traffic from orkut is targeted? Do you monetize your site with adsense and if so, do you get decent returns with the traffic from orkut?

    I really did not care of monetizing all I wanted was a steady traffic from Brazil and India... I get US traffic from search engines since I have some high PR posts.

    Confused...
