I moved recently but now only have access to a wifi connection, Sure I can take the router out but it means pulling apart everyting. For the short term I had been using some ralink wireless USB device 28xx not sure about the exact model number,  But All Instructions for the ralink drivers to work required a wired network connection which I do not have access to easily. Then I finally found a wireless adapter that works out of the box on Linux Mint Anyway not sure about other distros. Now I might get some work done, I had been trying to get a ralink driver to work but the amount of Time I wasted trying to get it working was not worth it and could have been spent doing better and more productive things like blogging. I am not sure where you can get your hands on a INTELLINET 524773 Wireless 150N USB Mini Adapter as it looks like they are not being made anymore and not for sale on the official Intellinet website but have a look for them on a few auction sites like ebay.

Why this Driver Is Uploaded Here

I had just moved and forgot my wireless adaptor and have no easy access to a wired connection. I bought a ralink rt 2800 usb device in a computer repair shop around the corner as I like to buy local when I can.  It worked out of the box on windows xp sp 3 with wireless zero config but as I like to play around with my hard drives and format them often I just wiped my windows XP installation because I was bored the other day. Later I tried Reinstalling Windows XP but only had Service Pack 2, Then I tried my Vista CD and enabled Zero Config but it still did not work. Then I tried Windows 7 and Still the Same Story.

As was left with no network connection because the Ralink usb device does not work easily under Linux which I mostly use it’s possible to install but how can you download build essentials when you don’t have access to a network in the first place. Since the installation instructions require other additional packages also . Anyway I though I could just download the windows drivers on my tablet but to download them it requires a name and email on the mediatech website the new name for ralinks official site.  Anyway I noticed that after giving my name and email nothing happened and thought that the driver would be emailed to my inbox and found nothing when I checked it. The problem was that after you give your name and email on a desktop computer the download will start. But this does not happen when you do so on a tablet device so I have uploaded the device driver to dropbox here is the link.

I do not care what ralink think about me doing this,  The way I see it is I have paid for the device to work and it did not come with any installation cd or anything it just came in a bubble wrap package and looked like something you would buy on some Amsterdam street corner.No instructions, No Install CD lack of support on the Website and not mobile visitor friendly. As for Linux support well it’s like giving a homeless guy €50 compared to telling him you seen someone throw 20 cents in the river the other day. Sure if he needed that 20 cents he knows where it is but is that really helping him out ?.

An Alternative Approach To Stabilize Adsense Earnings

I spent a long time trying to increase my Adsense earnings with my blogs but despite using filters for bad advertisers, Better ad placement and Section Targeting . Plus a few other Tweaks to increase earnings with Adsense I have noticed that no matter what I do with the Ads on my sites earnings have become way to unstable over the past Year or more but what I am Earning Online With Adsense has become way too unstable. Sure I can keep writing blog posts and hope to get more blog traffic but it seems no matter how much more traffic I get the amount I earn after making changes never seems to build up to anything Stable. It seems that most months their is a slight hike in earnings around mid month but then the rest of the month is very poorly performing despite a near equal location and CTR. Have you noticed this trend in your online earnings with Adsense ? or do you know of a more dependable income source for professional and semi professional bloggers.

I could have spent hours even days reading about this topic, But since blogs are something that you can take with you anywhere I have taken an indirect approach to help me increase my earnings. You see I was living in a small town after living in cities most of my life by my life I mean after I was old enough to move away from the dead end region I am from. People say small towns are nice and quite places to live because of the lack of crime and so on but they are not.

In my own personal opinion small towns are hellholes because if you are not into the inbred culture you can’t communicate with people. And when you lack social contact you do not know what people want or need in bigger towns are cities you can look out for things people need or want without invading their privacy. When you have a better idea of what people want or need you can then start to market good or services to people. And when you are marketing goods and services the bids on the ads running on your sites increase and this increases your earnings and might make them more stable. So although quite drastic it may sound just moving out of town to a better place is a real alternative to increasing online earnings if you are good enough at blogs it’s very easy to do and a change of place might inspire you to come up with new content ideas and help you create more income online with Adsense and other online earning opportunities .
