Grab My Ads Died

I have wanted to write about this for a long time but I keep forgetting. I wrote a note on y mobile device dated last month but it just slipped my attention. Well, I am not sure if anyone noticed. Grab My Ads came quietly, Grab My Ads died quietly too. I guess it was because no one earned enough to cash out, that’s why they did not feel like they were being cheated big time by Grab My Ads.

As for me, I had a little more than MYR10 in my account; the MYR10 came from my sign up bonus. The reason that we were unable to earn through placing a Grab My Ad block of ad on our blogs is the lack of ads, period.

For as long as I had the ad code on my blog, which I only placed in one blog, I have only seen one miserable ad. Sigh… how to sustain like that? I am totally not surprised that they died.

Latest Presidential Dollars

I am not sure if you have seen the latest president dollars but I can tell you that they are awesome and every coin collector should get hold of them. I already told my mother and a couple of friends about it. They are avid coin collectors and they have been waiting for them to be released. Now that they are here, they are having a difficult time selecting which to collect!

Of course, ideally, they would love to get all of the Presidential coins but then they are not cheap and it would be a costly investment to purchase all of them at once. I know that these would be selling like hot cakes so if you are interested, check them out right now. Like they say, the early bird catches the worm!

Advertise On My Blog(s)!

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know that I have made changes to my layout. So, come quickly and advertise on my blog(s)! How much will I be charging? Well, I have yet to decide. I have so many blogs that I could actually make a package deal for the advertiser.

Of course, this will be a win-win situation. You know what? With advertisers on board on my sidebar buttons, it would even spur me to work harder to bring in the traffic to my blog. I know I have been lazy to network, which would help with traffic but haihh… I do not have the time to do it. I depend heavily on organic traffic so all I have time to do is to add relevant valuable content and pray I hit the vein.

So I hope that somebody will be good enough to support my efforts. I may not have the best traffic levels but I won’t be charging to high, I promise!

I Deleted Your Comment lalala

Recently, I have been getting some nasty comments. I have no qualms deleting them thanks to the practice I received deleting spam comments with eyes closed.

I know that there are spammers who would come and check if their spam comment has been published, since I moderate all comments, well too bad their comment will never see the light of day. I trash them all.

I salute those who take the time to spam, come and check, see that their comment has yet to be published, and come and spam again with the same message. That shows how much faith they have in technology, thinking that their comment did not come through. Haha! No apologies given, though!

Budget Your Way To Las Vegas

Half the summer is over. If you still have yet to take a well deserved break, why not check out the best of Las Vegas vacations? Personally, I have yet to go on a Las Vegas vacation myself but it is high up on my list of vacation destinations! And yes, I will make it someday!

My friends have just returned from a company sponsored trip to Las Vegas. They went there on business, you see, and they told me that they had one of the best holidays ever. Technically, it was NOT a holiday but they thoroughly enjoyed themselves despite having to work.

If Las Vegas is also a holiday destination high in your list, check out the Best of Vegas for hotel deals and many more. You will be able to plan and budget your trip to Vegas better with their rates.

Pump Up Your Feed Count

Lately, every one’s been talking how bloggers have pumped up their feed count by using fake widgets. Well, if your livelihood depends on the performance of your blog(s), surely there would be exploitation. I personally have experienced how some advertisers care about the number of feed readers we have and the higher the number, the higher they will pay us to spread the news about their products or services. Of course, in an ideal world, feed count would be a good gauge on the reach of our blog(s) but then since when is the world perfect?

So I know that there are some people who set up over a hundred email accounts EACH and subscribe to each others’ feed. Sigh… what trouble just to earn the extra money.

I am of the opinion that it is not wrong to make money off our blogs but not to the point of cheating. And pumping up our feed count cosmetically would constitute as cheating; cheating ourselves, cheating our readers and ultimately, cheating our advertisers. And that is totally WRONG!

EntreBar – EntreCard Toolbar

A few days ago, I received three email updates from EntreCard about the launch of their EntreBar. Yes, I always will receive three emails from them unless I unsubscribe but I haven’t found the time to do it even if it is just a click away.

Anyway, there are people who found EntreCard useful and there are people who found EntreCard does not do anything for their blogs. As for me, I have no opinion. EntreCard gives me one or two random readers who come over to drop their cards.

I actually wanted to grab an image of their toolbar from the EntreCard blog but foing to the blog is awful. It totally lags that it hangs my browser and if you use tabbed browsing, I am sure you know what an awful experience it is. Besides, the blog does not have fluid width, so that explains why I hardly read the EntreCard blog.

Anyway, no, I am not going to use the EntreCard since it is a FireFox extension and FireFox is not my primary browser. I cannot understand why people love toolbars. It takes up space of your browser, don’t you think so? The only toolbars I sometimes use are the Google toolbar to check my pagerank when there is an update and the Web Development toolbar to check all my blogs and sites occasionally. I hide these toolbars when not in use. Otherwise, I only have the Navigation toolbar.
