Google PageRank Finally Achieved
2007-01-17 20:58:00
There has been a lot of excited talk over the last week or so about a possible Google PageRank update (see this article for more info on PageRank), so I just had to check my own. At first I only checked the homepage and was disappointed to find that this hadn't been assigned any PageRank, but on further investigation I found that some of my individual post pages had. So far I've found about 17 pages with PageRank between 2 and 4, I'm hoping thats not the end of the update and that the PageRank filters up to my homepage.Advertisement: Don't know what keywords to use in your marketing campaigns? Download the keywords your competitors use.

Commission Junction Revisited, Revisited
2007-01-16 21:11:00
In my post Commission Junction Revisited I stated that one of the reasons I wasn't making any money with Commission Junction was that I was trying to promote too many products. To remedy this I have chosen to focus my attention on marketing KeyCompete, see my last post for more details of KeyCompete. For the next month I am going to concentrate my efforts on KeyCompete once the month is up I will review the results and either continue promoting the product or move onto something else. I will of course keep you updated with my progress.

Jumping on the MyLot Bandwagon
2006-12-18 03:23:04
It seems lately that every money making blog I read has a post about how they've joined MyLot, I resisted joining myself for awhile as the returns didn't seem very high. I eventually succumbed and signed up, just to see what all the fuss was about.What is MyLot?MyLot is similar to a forum, you start or participate in discussions, unlike most forums though, the discussions can be about any subject. The most important difference between MyLot and forums is that MyLot pay you for contributing.How much do you get paid?How much you get paid depends on the quality of the contributions. Nobody except MyLot know exactly how the payments are worked out, but there seems to be some complex algorithm that rewards for quality. What this means is you get paid less or possibly even nothing for simple one word answers, and more for more thorough answers. Although even if the quality of your responses are high the payouts are still small, only a few cents, you have to do a lot of writing to make s...

Sex Sells

Apparantly sex sells, or so I'm told anyway, well if that's the case then I want a bit of the action, to that end I've created my latest blog "Make Money With Sex Ads".I want to keep this blog clean and family friendly, so I've started a new blog as an experiment to see if I can make money from ads that are more adult in nature. The new blog will be similar to this one as I will be reporting weekly as to my progress and will be writing articles on the sites and services I find for making money with adult content.Please only visit this site if you are over 18 and you are not offended by explicit material.Make Money With Sex AdsTags: sex ads, make money

Blogitive - Get Paid to Post
2006-12-07 21:14:03
A couple of weeks ago I was recommended Blog itive by Tom and Rob as being a good way of making extra cash, so as usual I signed up to see what they had to offer.Blogitive is another pay for posts service similar to Blogsvertise, but instead of waiting for offers to be emailed to you, you login to the Blogitive website and choose from a list of offers. Every time I've logged in there have been between 2 and 5 offers listed, the standard payment for each offer is usually $5. There is no limit to the number of offers you can accept although there must be at least 2 normal posts of at least 50 words between each paid post. Payments are made once a week into a paypal account so you will need to have one setup to get paid. So far I have done one post for them, the post was accepted within minutes of submitting it and I was paid promptly within a week My first impressions of Blogitive have been good there seems to be a good number of offers and they pay quickly.
