As you know, I implemented CommentLuv on all my blogs. I think that this plug-in provides a great value to my blog readers and it encourages them to comment more. Did you know that there are people who would only comment on blogs that have CommentLuv implemented?

Lately, though, I noticed that more and more of these commenters have their blogs or websites in foreign languages and I have decided that if the feed parsed is of a foreign language and especially if the site does not load, I am not going to approve the comment but mark it as spam.

I was so pissed off today because I spent the WHOLE DAY trying to put up my Privacy Policy on all my blogs that has AdSense.

I auto-generated the policy at a website, which I have forgotten the URL, and then I did it in an image form, since this is auto-generated so I had to avoid “duplicated content” with other users of this Privacy Policy auto-generator.

Well, at first, the problem was the sequence of the paragraphs, then it was something I missed out, then it was this and that, and all these caused me to upload and download my images to my different servers. Man, I was ready to puke but I tried to be calm.

In the end, after a long dunno-how-many hours, I managed to put up a proper Privacy Policy on ALL my blogs that are implemented with AdSense. Bah… I tell you, I hate these changes of policies. These things cause me to be distratced from my real work.

As a blogger with a slew of blogs to run, networking is almost always at the last of priority my list. I know it’s bad but I have a tough time just publishing original content on all the blogs on a regular basis let alone go around blog hopping and networking.

Today, I was told of Blogoria, a Blogger Search and Networking resource site which brings together bloggers, blog readers and advertisers. This is the kind of site that people like me should join.

Blogoria is a member site so you have to register in order to use it and if you are a blogger, you get to register your blog and ping Blogoria with your new blog posts. Yes, Blogoria serves as a blog aggregator as well.

By joining Blogoria, you will be able to drive more traffic to your blogs, effectively increasing comments and at the same time participate in their forums where you can socialize with other Blogorians, learn blogging tips and tricks as well as discover effective ways to further monetize your blog(s).

My father has been nagging me to start a blog for him. I know how it is. I would have to do everything for him and what he does is only add in the content.

I asked him what sort of blog he wants so that I could buy him a matching domain name and he says that he wants to start a joke blog. OH OH! I know he has a large database of hamsup jokes so no way I was going to allow him to publish those jokes on the web!

The he said that he also wanted to write political posts on the blog. I said cannot because he would not have a niche blog anymore. Either he sticks to jokes or politics only but he told me that he needs “interim”!

I told my friend that my father wants to be a blogger too and my friend told me to make sure that my father writes for PPP and publishes AdSense as well. Damn funny!

Last week, I was emailed a task but guess what? Soon after, received a rejection and there was no reason given besides the standard form letter informing me that my task has been rejected and that I should try again.

As far as I know, I met all the requirements stipulated by the company and the advertiser. So I submitted my post again and appended a note saying that they should specify where my error lies so that I could rectify my post.

If only it was this simple!

I received another TWO rejections and received the SAME email notification without additional information. It boggles the mind why it is so difficult for them to drop me a line telling me what is wrong with my post instead of just sending me canned messages!

Do they even read? Do they even know how to type? Don’t know English issit? Or just rejecting because they are in a bad mood? If they are not able to give me a reason why my post has been rejected three damn times, then APPROVE it!

This is the same company that declined payment for three of my posts and held up payment for one post, it is still on hold at this time of writing without a valid reason too. They claimed grab bag abuse but I don’t see how their grab bag system could be abused if they don’t show no bag for blogs that do not qualify or if the blogger has already grabbed a bag.

I was told by quite a few bloggers that they have stopped working for this company and I wondered why because all along, I have had a good experience with them. Well, now I know exactly why.

If you have logged into your account with a local blog ad company, you would probably have noticed the little yellow stars next to your blog.

While I noticed that there’s manual assignment of band to my blogs because I am not in their exclusive programme, I hope that the click through rate will show the real value of our ad placements.

I maintain that we are being shortchanged for opting out of the exclusive programme from the vast difference in revenue from the days before the exclusive programme was introduced and after.

And although it is said that if you were not assigned any ads to display in the past week, your star rating will be unchanged, I noticed that my rating actually fell by ONE star. Oh, the horrors, but it’s out of my control!

I was complaining to a friend that my old post on San Diego real estate was declined after thirty days and payment was denied. She told me not to take it too hard since it’s not as if I know all that much about San Diego real estate. Hey, anyone would be pissed off to not get payment for work completed, right?

I may not know all that much about San Diego real estate but I know a little about the nightlife in San Diego from the stories that my sister told me. Apparently, they have a pretty interesting nightlife.

I was surprised that my sister found out about it during her work trip to San Diego. I never knew that she was into such activities because when she was here, she knew nothing about the Ipoh nightlife at all! My, people sure change with times!

Anyway, my issue with the declined post is still unresolved. All I know is that it has been canceled and there would be no payment heading my way. Whatever it is, there should be closure and I need the final word if I may remove the post. Oh well, free advertisement for them.
