Social networking is not only for reconnecting with old friends but it can earn you money as well. I have subscribed to a number of social networking sites and maintaining these sites used to be just a favorite pastime activity for me. But after I learned that you can make money from social networking sites, I tried it and it turned into a full time job. Imagine earning easy cash out of doing something that you enjoy. I am on the quest for new networking sites I could join and expand my networking community. This post gave me an idea. Thanks! Great post!

The recent example that definitely deserves noting as it offers a direct road to the bright future for quite a number of our favorite web projects is that of Reddit, the social news website.

I've visited their site and shared it on FriendFeed and Twitter. I would love to see them gain widespread implementation across blogs and Social Networking sites. All sites will still have to provide targeted pages to display the ads on. The best targeted ads are manually selected and implemented. No algorithm, regardless of how sophisticated, can be as accurate as human selection. <abbr><em>InternetStrategist’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/gmprss/~3/528643410/" rel="nofollow">Have a Blog?

Overture (now Yahoo! Search Marketing) pioneered the idea but Google is profiting most from it. Since it has already been done and proven to be where the money is it amazes me that no Social Networking site has seen the connection between how search ads are targeted and how they could do the same using ads on targeted pages. What Social Networking most needs (to make it easy for their users to find the content they want) is also what they most need to target and sell ads! I am very interested in offering feedback, suggestions and beta testing to FriendFeed and Twitter - or if they are not interested - to any other Social Networking site that will develop this idea. @Nicholas James Thank you for taking the time to comment on this post.

This is reminiscent of when Google entered the Search Market. No-one saw the true value of Search but the Google guys, did.
