New PR websites - what to do?

Now that I’ve got several blogs with new PR rankings, I have to figure out what to do with them.
Wayne Liew listed down some of the biggest mistakes he made while blogging. Well my biggest mistake when I started blogging 6 years ago was that I never documented the blogs I created. I created so […]

My first LinkPost

I’ve tried out many paid per post programs on my other blogs such as blogvertise, sponsored review, paid per post (PPP), bloggerwave but I’m happy to get my first Linkworth LinkPost assignment. Not bad too for a first LinkPost as the payout is USD 15.

As usual, the menus for LinkWorth is confusing to a beginner […]

Finally!! Incoming Ads from Nuffnang !!

You know it’s funny the ups and downs I have with Nuffnang and Advertlets. It’s like a love/hate relationship. I keep both on my blogs but when one is failing on me I just pay it less importance by reducing the number of ads and pay attention to the other one. (let’s not use the […]

Advertlets diminishing returns

I was initially happy with Advertlets CPM program because it was actually earning good money.
Keyword being intially
Last week however showed me that it was too good to last.
Good earnings in the middle of October.

Poor earnings in the last week of October.

The number of impressions was about the same but the total income was […]

GMail now 4Gb

My favourite online email is GMail. Yahoo comes second even though it offers unlimited storage. Today I just noticed right at the bottom of my GMail screen that the total storage is now 4.5 Gb. I definitely can use the space especially now that I’m receiving photo attachment of a few hundred Mb in my […]

Previous month’s cheque for Adsense has been banked in but not yet cleared.
Adsense payment for this month via Western Union and expected to clear on 10th November.
Advertlets cheque
Nuffnang cheque

I opted for Adsense payment via Western Union this month. This […]

Four Google PR4 blogs

Google has been kind to me. Not only is the blog has moved from PR 0 to PR 2, I have also gained 2 more PR4 blogs.
That means I now have a total of four PR4 blogs.
I know authoritative blogs are recommending that we don’t be too concerned with the new Google Page Ranks updates, […]

Advertlets revenue drop

I was earning less than 20cents a day before October from Advertlets. Then after posting about wanting to drop Advertlets I got an email from Josh Lim telling me the possible reasons I was not making pennies from Advertlets. I took up his advice on repositioning the Advertlets ads in strategic places. I even increased […]

This Blog is now PR2

After weeks of going around shooting down top blogger PRs, we finally see Google make PR promotion instead demotions. They even gave new PRs to new bloggers like me.
Finally I have a PR!! I no longer have to call myself a zero since this blog is now PR 2.
PS: Also good to see the PR […]

Yahoo - MyBlogLog makes you lose face

I know Yahoo has bought over MyBlogLog a long time ago. It’s similiar to the buyout of Flickr some time back. Here’s the ‘merging’ option. Actually not an option at all as you MUST merge your account!
I had no choice since I first registered with MyBlogLog using Gmail and not Yahoo. Luckily I also had […]

5xmom dropped to PR2

I read 5xmom’s PR demotion from PR4 to PR3. I was shocked to see yet another demotion of PR 3 to PR 2 on my FireFox SEO statusbar. Talk about getting bitched slapped by Google twice!

I thought my toolbar was wrong as Google can’t be that heartless. So I checked with PRchecker.info:

So I guess it’s […]

Women Top earners in PPP

Has anyone noticed that the top earners for Pay Per Post are women?

I’m assuming Denise is also female so that makes it 9 out of 10 are women in the Top 10 PPP all time list.
What’s more, most of these women are housewives.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a sexist. It’s just an observation.
Anyway on […]

OMG more PR crashes!

Problogger.net falls from PR6 to PR4.
Adesblog.com falls from PR7 to PR5.
This shakeup is getting serious. OMG I just checked. My blog is now PR 0. Wait a minute it’s always been zero
Guess that’s the advantage of starting from ZERO.
Anyway, Darren Rose of Problogger.net is not concerned at all about the huge fall from PR6.
Ades […]

I applied for TTZ Media as recommended by Kumiko of cashquest.com because she mentioned that TTZ is a Money Maker. Took me a day after applying before receiving the acceptance email:

Since they already gave me my username and password I wasted no time adding their ads […]
