    Sounds good.

    Now maybe we can discuss which default tab works better. If you look at the 468x60 format that you guys are using, unlike larger ad formats, with the Best Deals tab shown there is no description of the product at all. I believe that's not very good for those odd products that has no pictures.

    Would the Product tab which has a descriptive text link work better? Or the Description tab which has a nice "Read More" link? Sure looks like one of those typical blog "read more" links.

    Something we might want to consider exploring. :D

    The 'Best Deals' tab is working good for me right now. The only thing is that I have to make sure that I get the proper product so i have to tweak the post title sometimes. The ones with no picture seems to be new deals coming up in chitika - I can live with it for now.

    I would love to get the 'Read More' tabs more often but there doesn't seem to be any for toys. You can get some on expensive products - I am looking to see which ones produce 'Read More' tabs and see if it is worth to build sites around them.

    One thing about the 'Read More' tab that is if you do figure out which products have them, it is still best to write your own description/review first and use 'Read More' as a complement so that people don't think that they are being suckered into a ad-only site. After all, returning traffic is good for business.

    What I meant was the Description tab, which has a "Read More" link. From your World of Toys blog, I see every toy has that tab.

    The easy way to find out is to sign up and test it, as it can run together with adsense, it's pretty much no risk at all.

    short update: the ads embedded in the posts are the main revenue makers for me. I guess it just makes more sense for visitors when they want to follow up.
