LinkWorth’s Contest Worth Joining

3 Comments

I received an email regarding the launch of LinkWorth’s in early November but I have procrastinated in my post. Yes, I am the queen of procrastinator! Anyway, November is my birthday month so I am going to try my luck while waiting for my iPhone to arrive. GGGGrrrrrr!!!

I have been a LinkWorth partner since the beginning I think. I don’t really know when LinkWorth was set up but I saw that they were heavily advertised on Google AdSense. So I signed up (no, I did not click on my own ads, OK?).

After signing up, I got so confused that I never did anything about submitting my blogs or set my price! I did not have the time to explore until a couple of months later. And then LinkWorth decided to change the layout of the user-control panel and supposedly made it more user-friendly. It’s still a little confusing and daunting to a new user but this is only because LinkWorth offers an all-in-one monster blog monetization program where we are paid per post, paid to place a link on the side bar AND MY FAVORITE: Dig a keyword out from my archives and place a link of the sponsor/advertiser to the keyword. I understand that this is a monthly recurring charge just like those sidebar text links.

Can you imagine NOT DOING ANYTHING AT ALL and get paid for your old written work??? That’s the best, I tell you!

I know that there are more features that LinkWorth has that I still do not understand. If you are not a LinkWorth member yet, join now. I am their partner where I share 50/50 with them but that is fine with me. If like me, you are confused with the many things that LinkWorth offers, all I can say is: CLICK ON ALL THE TABS!

Comparing & Applying For Credit Cards

Leave a comment

When a friend asked me what credit card he should apply for, I told him that that is a sixty four million dollar question. There will never be a right or wrong credit card to apply for but it is just a matter of finding a card that meets our lifestyle and requirements.

It is also important to check the APR rate and other benefits which may come with the card. I may prefer cash back credit cards but I can’t expect everyone to!

This friend went online to compare the various cards available in the market and he told me that he is partial to the Sports Credit Card Low APR. Well, if he has done his homework thoroughly, then go for it.

I personally think that the most credit cards that one person should carry is one or two. Any more and we will start abusing them and land ourselves into hot water.

What, Not Another Blog???

4 Comments

I have a couple of friends, local full time bloggers who have a string of blogs. Honestly, I have even lost count the number of blogs that they have. The previous time I heard that one has more than two dozen blogs and the other has more than a dozen. She is catching up, I tell you!

And the scary thing is that they are not stopping at that! They start new niche blogs every month that I wonder how they could keep up. Frankly, speaking from experience, maintaining more than seven blogs myself, I am so hard pressed for time just to fill them up with content that I no longer have the time to network.

Most of us semi-probloggers are putting in as many hours as we do in our regular work and it is exhausting but I am amazed that these two ladies are still going on with setting up new blogs at full steam.

Even if I have the time to set up new blogs, I would have run out of ideas already. Niche blogs? I have had enough of them right up to my nose. I really take my hat off to them!

I was surfing the internet when I came cross this site, Online Casino Bluebook, which by the way, is NOT an online casino but a website that reviews online casinos and give the top ten casinos on the internet.

Coincidentally, I was looking for a website which allows me to read comprehensive, professional reviews of the most popular online casinos from a single place without me visiting each and every online casino and looking for the information I require.

Online Casino Bluebook, which has a website at onlinecasinobluebook.com, has just revised their reviews and already listed the top ten online casinos for November, 2007.

If you are curious to know which are the top ten online casinos reviewed and rated according to the professionals at Online Casino Bluebook, hop over to the site for an informative read.

Two Rejections

3 Comments

I received a couple of rejections last week through no fault of mine. So my blog dropped in rank but if the advertisers wanted a higher ranking blog then don’t show me those particular advertorials so that I can’t copy them to my blog.

And the funny thing is that I was given a chance to revise my ads and the note that came with the rejections went like this: Improve on your rank and reapply.

My goodness, does she think that I’m a god or something that I could just “improve” like that? If I could raise the ranks of blogs and sites with my magic wand I would have done it last life.

Anyway, I hope to be able to grab two more ads before the month is up so that I could maximize on my quota. Haihhh what an eventful the past two weeks have been. Events that we don’t ever want repeated.

I’m On Too Many Mailing Lists

Leave a comment

A friend got a surprised when he took a peek at my mailbox and saw that almost all the email that I received is a marketing email. Well, I signed up to a handful of Mailing Lists and I have a special email box for that.

I like to be informed of the happenings of ecommerce stores, broker’s lists, internet marketer’s database and what not. That’s because I want to have the news sent to me via email instead of going all over the internet reading. It saves a lot of time.

I read that there’s a company that specializes in selling mailing lists so that companies can reach out to the people who really want the information. Companies who buy such lists see a higher return in incoming links and a better conversion in sales.

It’s An Avalanche

Leave a comment

Last evening, I received the very bad news from a blogging buddy of mine that the ranking one of her blogs fell by another notch. And here we thought that we have had the last of the spankings for this round.

Anyway, I feel for her. She and I are both at the bottom of the totem pole now and there’s nothing that we could do about it except to start more fresh blogs.

I have a feeling that this new downgrade that she experienced last evening was made manually and not an automated process. I am just trying to keep calm and keeping my fingers crossed that there will be no more of this in the coming months or it will be very hard for us.

Hey, don’t begrudge us for making a living, OK?
