Kirbitz Broke the 500k Technorati mark!
2007-08-02 16:59:00 So, ive been trying to the best of my knowledge and abilities to increase my traffic, pagerank and blogging network. I previously wrote about my Part 1 of improving traffic into a blog, and made updates in increasing it. And who could ever forget my down-time? If your a Frequent reader of kirbitz, you know what i mean.But i kept my head up, moved on, and hey, Broke the 500k mark on Technorati !When i checked over my Technorati profile just a while ago, i was delighted to see that my ranking is 465,230 of all the blogs on technorati.

ClickBooth Confirmation Surprise
2007-07-31 16:43:00 Just after i wrote the previous post, my landline phone rang. I figured "Damn, its my brother's girlfriend again!" Then a smooth, silky voice sounded a big ring on my ears, "hello, is Mr. Kirby there?". . . I thought it was a prank call and i had the notion that it was just another guy friend trying to make fun of me. But it wasnt! It was Erin from ClickBoot h.com verifying my membership. She was nice and soft-spoken. Me and my dirty thoughts! I forgot to mention on my posts that I signed up for ClickBooth just 2 days ago. Its an ad provider that offers one of the Highest Paying programs on the internet. I remembered indicating my landline number on the registration form. Never thought in my wildest dream someone is going to call me to verify my application! But all was well taken cared of; she asked about my blog and what kinda ads im going to include on it. The conversation wasnt really that long but it was a good one. She ended up saying she's going to confirm my registration... More About: Confirmation , Irma
How my Kirbitz traffic is doing.
2007-07-31 14:28:00 It has Just been over a week ago since i posted my first post. I remember saying "i dont know where im heading". I also posted about how to increase blog traffic part 1 (part 2 is upcoming. . .) Now this is the result of that part 1.A week ago, i was averaging a maximum of 6-10 visitors per day. After unrelenting hours of reading, learning, asking questions, submitting to blog directories, making friends with bloggers, here's what's the result of all these.According to Sitemeter, i am averaging 20 visits and 25 page views a day. And for the past few days since i installed sitemeter, my blog has been endowed with 131 visits with 2:30 seconds per visit on the average. Turning out attention to the world map, surprisingly enough, ive been having alot of visitors from the USA aside from my hometown of the Philippines. Once in a while, i get visitors from usual internet users as Canada, UK, Russia and even more surprising is that, ive got quite a few from far flung areas as ROmania, Ken...

Pinging for Popularity.
2007-07-26 03:45:00 It has been a week since my first post. And so far, im still in a bottomless pit. Ive heard pinging can increase your popularity rating by telling the world that you have a new activity in your blog. It's sort of saying that you are still alive and kicking. Well, ive decided to try this one out. I bookmarked 2 automatic ping sites namely pingomatic and autopinger. Whats great about this sites is that they submit pings to quite a number of sites like technorati, feedster, blogdigger and blogster. Some of them sound so foriegn to me that id rather knot know about them. Technically, its very easy to use. Just put in the URL of your blog or site then check the boxes you want to ping. ( i checked everything ) and thats it!If youre not so sure about pinging. . ."Ping ing is a service that pings or notifies a number of services that keep track of weblogs and publish them.

Digg for a traffic explosion?
2007-07-25 00:00:00 After browsing quite a few websites, reading a gazillion blogs, taking advises from experts and wander around the blogogsphere, i decided to add my blog into something that has been existing for a very long time already. So long that i might even be the last person in the blogosphere to add myself into. (im exaggerating) This is in realation to my post about getting more traffic. I Joined Digg ! Digg is a social site that was started last 2004 as an experimental site where users submit their articles to. Once you submit, your article would appear on their "upcoming stories" along with alot more articles waiting to get noticed. The idea is to make the readers "digg" your story by clicking the digg button just before each article. If your story gets dugg for alot of times, your story would appear on their frontpage which would even get you more notices, more readers and even more diggs!

MyLot Vs Yahoo Answers
2007-07-22 03:24:00 For sometime now, in my ramblings and wanderings on how to increase traffic and earn money on the internet, I always come across the name Mylo t. I have always been very curious about this because majority of the money-making blogs that i found had a monthly earning from this site. Though it wasnt in thousands, (nor was it in hundreds btw) i think it's a great site to jump-start your earnings slowly but surely. Here are some of the Things i like about Mylot.You earn Money from Mylot! Participate in an existing discussion and earn 1 cent. Participate and enhance your reply with photos or videos, thats another cent. Or better yet, start a new interesting discussion and the posibility of earning more money is beyond what you would expect. This is why mylot earns slowly but surely.MyLot is more like a social site like myspace of friendster but is more focused in interaction and discussions thus making the users feel more comfortable. Yahoo Answers dont have this feel. Everything is up... More About: Yahoo Answers , Yahoo!
Not a very good day.
2007-07-21 18:04:00 "As far as my blog is concerned, today wasnt exactly a day to be happy about." First of all, i started my day at around 5:30am which is my normal daily routine especially if i have classes.(As a nursing student, its more like EVERYDAY!) I checked on my blog and i was delighted to see that on my second day, i got 36 blog total views and 25 page views. This was according to bumpzee. And i said to myself, "wow, im doing great!" Well, this made my day thinking that the same result would happen today. Not exactly. After coming home at around 12mn, (dont get surprised now. It was the college's general assembly and i had dinner with my girlfriend.) It just broke my heart when i saw this report both from bumpzee and sitemeter : blog total: 6, Page views : 4. :( This wasnt what i was expecting at all! With this, i remembered the words of my former jesuit teacher, basketball team-mate and advisor: "Failures are made to make you grow stronger. Live with it." Enough said, i would just l...

My very first earning online -- $.25 from squidoo!
2007-07-20 03:31:00 Now hold on to your hats. . . This is going pretty well.I just made my very first online money. $.25 from squidoo!What is Squid oo ? Sometime back, i heard about squidoo lenses and i was curious enough to make my own lens (a page that is referred as "lens" on squiodoo). The site is more like myspace, friendster combined with blogger or wordpress as i would describe it.What sets squidoo different from others? The site is user-friendly and easy to use. Everything is within a particular arrangement, so you dont have to do much of tweaking and designing (which is perfect for novice blogger like me). It all boils down to the content of your lens.How do i earn with squidoo? Earning is made by advertising fees that squidoo applies to each of your lens. If someone clicks on those ads, youll get a cut from them. ( great huh?!) This is I think how i got my $.25 And that's not it. For even bigger chances of earning, squidoo is affiliated with e-bay, amazon, cafepress and hundreds of sellers... More About: Online
My first step to have traffic on my blog.
2007-07-19 16:02:00 In addition to my previous post, i made something that would hopefully increase my traffic to this blog. After all, this is the essence of blogging that if you take this out, your blog would just be a piece of information existing on the web like a worthless piece of sand in a dessert. (Caffiene really makes me say odd things. lol )On my clock, its already 10:17pm. Since this morning, ive been adding my blog to numerous blog directories which you can see on the bottom of the page. Well, i realized one thing after my first day, blogging aint just a walk in the park, its a full-time effort.Todays, work actually brought me to a certain dilemma. What category should I add my blog to? Im torn between financial and personal blog. I just cant decide which is which so i used financial on other blog directories, and personal on the majority of them.Another problem i encountered was when i was adding banners to blog directories.

Bidvertiser
2007-07-19 05:43:00 Okay. . now, i think im getting very anxious to start my blog.Just a while ago, i added Bidvertiser ad on my blog. You can see it just above the posts. I signed up as a publisher and thought i would try my luck on this one. I chose bidvertise over adsense for some upright practical reasons.Bidvertiser has a much lower minimum payout compared to adsense. You can claim your earnings from as low as $10, compared to $100 of adsense.Bidvertiser ads can be customized according to your own preferrence.You can choose the ads that would appear on your blog. And you are even given the chance to block some ads that you might not like. (for some peculiar reason, some people use this).Bidvertiser is perfect for a starting blogger like me.Although these things might sound so good, i am quite doubtful about many things.Bidvertiser is not as well-established as adsense. Though alot of people already use it, its still not good for permanency. I suggest use it for sometime, and if you are not satisfi... More About: Vert
