These days, I am a regular reader rather than a blogger. It is because writing a blog can be sometimes time consuming. Besides, I have been relocating countries and it took about 6 months of my regular blogging habits. So, Yes, I will have to practice to blog again.

To be honest, nowadays, I like to read and review other sites because I find that facinating for other bloggers who have been brilliant with their blogs. I would not rather get an idea or copy/paste other people work, but I actually like to share with what I read, because some of the blogs may not be in your reach while I have done my SEO/SEM works, So, at least, this will reach out to my readers as well.. As you know reviewing is one of my interests while I am blogging.

Today, I read about the title 10 Things Your Blog Doesn’t Need. And It is simple but yet fantastic read, so that you will enjoy like I did.

Reference: Jill Smokler blogs about parenting; the good, the bad and the scary at Scary Mommy. She can be found at on Twitter as @scarymommy.

HP, the giant computer company, announced that they will release new netbook that can be used for full office hours on a single battery charge. That is very cool news for 9-5 people like me because it will enable them to work not only longer hours without charging the battery, it will also help frequently travellers to use the netbook longer than ever.

Mainly targeted for business users, HP 2140 is another type of netbook, which won many fans because of its operatability, low cost and extreme portability. 

HP's new Mini 2140 netbook is based on a 1.6-GHz Atom processor and comes with a 160GB disk drive or an 80GB solid-state drive.

I think this series will challenge the likes of Acer Aspire ONE and those other netbook models. This will improve the heat releasing system from previous version 2133 with 10 inches displa.  LCD widescreen display that can be set for a resolution of either 1024-by-576 or 1366-by-768. The 2.6-lb. machine also includes a built-in Wi-Fi connection, and customers can choose between a 160GB disk drive or an 80GB solid-state drive.

The finish is fantastic and the processor is 1.2 Ghz Via C7M processor and it looks fantastic. This HP beauty can offer several operating systems including Novell Inc.’s SUSE Linux, the Home and Professional versions of Windows XP, and Windows Vista Home Basic or Business.

So, What do you think? Do you want to get one for yourself? or probaby a present for someone?

Nowadays, everyone is talking about cuil search engine, yes, it is pretty much popular lately. Because Cuil could be the next big thing in Search Engine world. It may not compete well with Big 3 (Google, Yahoo and MSN Live), however, Cuil (pronounced “cool“) is definitely shaking and making the headlines. 

Cuil’s bots are pretty active around. However, google webmaster tools & google analysis do not mention cuil’s search engine bots, and I have no idea why. I feel a bit angry that Google sometimes do not display truthful information regarding other search engines in their webmaster tools and google analysis. But one of my forums has cuil bots visiting almost everyday now. However, CUIL’s search relevancy is not up to the standard of Google, I must admit, however, it is good to get indexed your site with CUIL because you never know what’s going to happen in next 10 years, Last 10 years ago, we use Yahoo! as our main search engine, a decade later on, we all use “google”, don’t we? I remember when i watched the movie “Frequency”, Yahoo! was used, but now, in the movie “knocked up”, Google was used. So, get your site indexed with this cool “Cuil.com”.

Ok, what is Cuil?

It is said to be biggest search engine on the planet, already indexed 124 billion pages as of today, October 2008. The biggest question for webmasters, make money online and work from home people is here. Where do we submit it?

Well, here is where you can submit to CUIL service. So, If you would like Cuil to crawl your site and have it included in our index, please submit your site here. And get your site indexed.

Twiceler is the name of CUIL’s robot Web crawler. So, Keep in mind that the user-agent is “twiceler.” For small sites are bandwidth-limited, so CUIL also support the robots.txt Crawl-delay directive. 

So, here is the website that you can generate your robots.txt file and put it in your root folder of your blog or website.

Any comments and suggestions welcome.

Well, this is probably not very new topic for you. However, I still would like to discuss from my point of view and a few solutions that you can prevent from getting banned from Google AdSense Online Advertising and Publishing Program.

Okay, I am a member at Digital Point Forums, the place is like a gateway to the Webmaster A-to-Z knowledge, I have seen brilliant guys and ladies helping each other over there. I learned a lot of things I have never ever known of. And to the irony, I notice something everyday, It’s like “My site got banned from Google” or “My site is no longer indexed in Google”, It is like having a breakfast every morning for me, Because when I login to digital point, that’s what i see every morning.

I know we loving reading, but not really what it comes to reading things like terms & conditions and TOS and disclaimers and copyright and oh, the list goes on and on. Absolutely, you don’t need to read all those boring things but all you need is just follow these proper procedures & you will never need to read boring stuff.

1. Use Unique content (I have mentioned of this several times already LOL)
2. Must have at least 20 unique content pages of your site (This is more about getting approval instead of ban, but unique content pages are always a plus)
3. Don’t use Hidden Texts or change the codes given (Using small display texts and load with rich keywords)
4. Do not use bots or click frauds (Do not cheat, because all the potential fraud clicks and counts will be refunded back to original Advertiser, Think of yourself as an advertiser, you will love to have targeted audience with true human visitors, so As a publisher, treat the same as how you would like to be treated)
5. Use the AdSense approved formats only (You have several formats to display, more than enough, but don’t be super-smart, you will be banned)
6. Don’t click on your own ads (everyone needs to know, that’s very important and tempting sometimes when you see the ads, of course you can click other ads when you really are surfing, but keep in mind, no clicking on your ads, not even ONCE, period), It has been well documented one person was banned having click twice his ads within 24 hours, so keep your hands away from your own ADS.
7. Don’t do overkill Ads placement on a single page, 3 Ad Links or 3 Ad Units. Besides, it will decrease your conversion rate and 90% of visitors hate full of ads page. (Simply follow Goggle’s rules)
8. Don’t display similar Ads as Google (Keep in mind that you have to satisfy the big guy Google, don’t mess up with similar ads such as Adbrite text ads on the left and Adsense on the right)
9. Never tell/write in your contents anyone to encourage, persuade, push or trick to click your ads, you will get banned. (Google use several variations and conditions to check your page content and relevancy, check out my article about Google and its technology, you will be amazed how smart their search engines and hypertext analysis methods are)
10. Use single Google account to maintain several websites/AdSense Channels. It is a must, if you have 100 websites, you can still use your singleaccount@gmail.com, don’t do multiple accounts for multiple sites. (This is also help you to protect identify theft and will save a lot of time for Google to make a quick payment, meaning, we all get money faster)
11. If you want to label them, use “sponsored links” or “advertisements”, other keywords are not allowed. (Don’t make labels like NGO supported, donation welcome or me love you long time, in this case, you will be banned and your arse will be burned)
12. Never launch a new page in new windows if you are linking inbound links. (That is multiple pages pressuring visitors to click your ads, and that is wrong, all inbound links, do not open in a new window)
13. Use Ads on content pages (don’t create blank page with ads, you will be banned, don’t create copy/paste materials all the time, you will be banned, don’t use terrible design & layout, you won’t be banned, but many people hate them )
14. Do not try to cover ads elements, you see like “google ads” >> << things like that, don’t try to hide them under something and don’t try to trick Google. (You will be banned. Google nicely allows you to use different background color to fit in with your content pages. Yes, use Blend, it will fit in nicely most of the times)
15. Check your contents all the time. Don’t just throw cheap contents just to make your site stuff. Always aware of your contents. That’s very important. (Of course, your contents should be free of pornographic, hate-related, violent, or illegal content)
16. Don’t over advertise your ads. (Google allows you to enter relevant keywords, but don’t over do with rich keywords again)
17. Do not trick with images and texts of ads. (Trying to portray like images and texts are related in order to make visitors to click, you will be banned)
18. My Site PR7 PageRank for sale (Don’t try to sell pagerank, it is not a right, it’s a privilege, so don’t screw yourself, since your site has good PageRank, it’s even better for Google to trace your activities, oops, you have done a lot of great SEO works and everything you write, Google will find out faster than the potential buyers)
19. Don’t do link farms with Adsense. (Search engine crawlers hate link farms, so make sure who you are connected to, be relevant with your discussion as well, experts said if you have more than 100 links in a page, that is very likely your site creditability will be low and maybe exclude or discount you from page ranking system, heard the stories of PR5 to PR2 in 2 days?)
20. Make sure there is NO pop-up ads or pop-under ads on your site (that’s another “How to Get banned from Google AdSense in a 24 hours guide book”, just kidding)
21. Provide a good environment for advertisers (They are paying money to you, so be nice, be informative when you give out facts, be true to visitors, so Google can assign related ads to your sites, don’t worry about the keywords rate, once you are true to your visitors, you always get rewarded).
22. Be Alerted and Active (Always update your current emails if Google sent u important emails, some people got banned because they don’t response on time and not follow the Google guidelines within given period)
23. Don’t use black hat SEO and Pay-To-Click services around your site. Be square and Be Fair to honest people who uses SEO methods honestly and advertisers who want to get their products or services known.

Well, I don’t so smartly come up with all these great suggestions all by myself even though I read whatever it is necessary to create this post.

So, Thanks to these people, not in order, but equally grateful to have read your articles in the past. All the credits go to these fabulous people who also inspired me to write about this article.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome, Thanks for reading my longest post on my site. And Happy Earning Google AdSense in the future.

The objective is to make money online, not to spend or buy things via online, in order to “quote & quote” “MAKE MONEY“. Your initial investment would be nothing more than buying a domain and web hosting or host it on wordpress.com or blogger.com. That is all

Sometimes, people got cheated by buying e-books to get rich (where the seller got rich eventually), subscribing PAID affiliates at a certain costs and become a reseller and referral to become same as others. I will never become one of them and You shall never become one, because it is a non-improving & never improving business and You will probably want to earn money by doing the right thing.

So, i will never sell e-books or ask you to sign up anything that’s looping for you to sign other members. Because that’s 100% unethical. I will never provide blackhat SEO for link building as well. Okay, Enough said. Let’s take a look at one of the online income sources for ESPECIALLY bloggers.

Blog Sponsored Sites and their Market Place

These sites act as a bridge between advertisers and publishers. When an advertiser wants to promote his/her products and services, advertiser can generate and search a blogger niche and advertise to the people who would be interested to buy similar products or services. For example, one blogger is constantly updating about his reviews on Digital Still Camera (niche), an advertiser can buy his blog posts and attract the information seekers regarding digital still cameras. Pretty straight forward and easy. Of course, you will need review skills, correct grammar and attractive sentence construction. However, once you are blogging about something, I expect that there is nothing to lose to try. There are many top earners whose languages are not their mother tongue as ENGLISH.

Here are a few things you need to know about

Advantages

Easy to make money while you write what you love

Disadvantages

Not much depending on your niche, and sometimes required massive traffic to your site

Negative Consequences

Advertisers and publishers may be penalized in sponsored review. Possibly lower page rank or removed from Google search unless you full disclose your sponsored review as paid posts and use NoFollow tag within the HTML link, so Google won’t treat those links qualifying links in order to index the web. Then again, Advertisers are paying for those links, so they won’t probably pay you. That’s the problem with paid link.

Following sites you can make online money by blogging…..

1. PayPerPost (one of the biggest with a market place, reliable and great guidelines)
2. ReviewMe (popular, without needed to search for advertiser who will search for bloggers)
3. SponsoredReviews (both advertisers and publishers search each other, quite well-known)
4. SocialSpark (same parent company of payperpost, used full disclosure of paid links system, perhaps the most safest way to avoid hate from big search engines such as google, msn live and yahoo!), I may probably use this one in the future.
5. PayU2Blog (Smallest player in sponsored reviews world, but reliable)

My Honest Point of View

I may not use this kind of service to earn money. But if you want to use it. Of course, you are free to try these sites. As I have stated, I will share the tips how to earn money online without tricks or scams. This method is actually used by many of the top 100 earners from blogs. But I will give you my honest truth, I may not use this method unless search engines have sure terms and conditions regarding this service.

Any comments or suggestions are always welcome. Thanks for reading.

Search Engines are clever and sophisticated. Let’s say the Big 3, they are pretty smart and powerful. Search engines are written by a bunch of super geeks and they have several techniques to index your site, not only the text based display.

I have recently written an article about Google’s technology. As soon as opportunity arises, I will also discuss about alexa, msn live and yahoo in the future. 

There are millions of web pages that will not show up in the search engines, because they are being discounted from search engines especially Google search. WHY????? Because they are not having unique contents in the web. Some people like to copy and paste the materials around the world and it will finally come to haunt them in the future because search engines determine which websites are displaying duplicate contents, there are no sense of worry about who started it, but definitely if your website is always publishing original contents, that means you will not be in the same category as “duplicate contents/news feeders” list. 

Being using a unique content, your website will be recognized as well. For more information about duplicate contents, please read the article from Bill Slawski’s article from SEO by the SEA, “Duplicate content issues and Search Engines“. 

Conclusion: Make your site/blog to be differentiated from other duplicate content websites, that’s the first step of making you more legitimate in search engines world.
