Diablo III: Please Don’t Break My HeartDiablo III: Please Don’t Break My Heart

I am a Diablo fan. I started playing way back when the first Diablo came out, and man, I loved it. Who wouldn’t love walking by other players and using telekinesis to pick up their books? Well, besides the people who you were stealing from. Duping was also quite popular and quite easy. Drop an object, walk several steps away, then drop a potion while picking up the item. Chaching! Those were the days. All of this and I didn’t even mentioned the Cow Level.

A few years later, Diablo II released and was seen as a major evolution in terms of online gaming. Battle.net was free and several spells were made with multi-player in mind (auras and war cries).

Adgitize Advertising in Review

I’ve been a member of Adgitize for a couple months now, but just recently decided to advertise through them for $14 for one month.

The initial results are amazing. Actually, I am set to make back more than what I put in. So at 70-100 clicks daily plus thousands of visitors seeing my ad, it is a huge steal. Alright, so this includes me having the widget on my site and doing the max amount of ad clicks daily. But so what? I am at least getting paid for the credits my site is creating.
