I my opinion, social media sites tend to be severely overhyped. Facebook, MySpace, etc tends to be frequented by horribly invaluable traffic. There are a few exceptions to this, and StumbleUpon is a big one.
AdSense can be a great way to add some additional revenue, and fortunately adding AdSense to your Mambo or Joomla site is very easy. Some people prefer to use one of the ready-made modules, but I prefer to do it more manually. There is no real reason, but I like as much control as possible.
It used to be, if you wanted a high quality CMS system for your site you would need to pay outrageous licensing fees, sometimes as high as thousands of dollars for each person who would be working on the site. That isn’t the case any more. Mambo offers an award winning system, completely free of charge. You can now get a high quality site online in under an hour for very little money.
