AdMarula is “South Africa’s New Performance Marketing Network”. They offer South African publishers the option to earn through CPM, CPC, CPA and Hybrid Campaigns.

I recently bought a Premium WordPress Theme from Themeforest, which I planned on using for a local design “community” type site.

This is a quick update to let everyone know about a new free CPanel hosting provider, with auto-installer, which supports popular scripts like WordPress, Joomla, SMF and phpBB.
