17 Oct 08 How to Take Care of Your Website or Blog
Well, many of you do not know how good your webhosting is, because you don’t really catch when your hosting was down because you were sleeping or going out. But you need to know how reliable your hosting is. And this is one of the most important solution you will ever need.
I have published one article about how to solve web hosting dilemma, because many people chose wrong web hosting and they always paid for one year advance which is 90% non-refundable. Some hosting are not honest enough but always keen to show their uptime at 99.99%. Can you wait and see how reliable your hosting is? Nope, Can you check whether the ping and network latency is reliable or not? Nope. But you can monitor your website if something went wrong.
I use FreeWebMonitoring Dot Com for my websites, I am using FREE service, you can use premium service at paid subscription for more comprehensive reports. The service is absolutely fantastic, even for FREE Monitoring service. For Free Service, you can have up to 3 domain names and limited report (still cool for me and informative), but at least, you know how many hours your site was down continuously. So far, the reports are quite great. I had one site down for 2 hours in non-US data center country, I get to know instantly and then weekly. Hence, I can consider whether I should continue their hosting service or not. So, you can have FREE Decision Support System while you were on vacation or sleeping. I think it is fabulous offer and all you need is to receive email once a week, maybe a couple more if you site was down. Now, the websites I host on US Data Center has no issues at all. Why? Because I choose my hosting service with freewebmonitoring.com, and it saves us a lot of research for web hosting services. Okay, here is my compiled list of what FreeWebMonitoring is.
Q. what if i have more than 3 domains?
A. you can create another with another email LOL, I am just being honest, or you can buy premium service for bigger VIPmonitoring, which can monitor up to 10 domains. FREE every hour test, PAID every 20 mins test.
Q. how to check the domain status?
A. you get emails if there’s a problem everytime it happens, FREE just to one email, PAID up to 6 emails, like reporting instantly to IT manager and Network manager even it is sunday, or maybe directly to their blackberry or iPhone email accounts, so it’s basically handy for companies and corporations. For PAID service, instant messenger reports & cell phone SMS available too. cool huh?
Q. Weekly reports?
A. Yes, you can weekly reports, false alarm protection, many sort of alerts in FREE version.
So, my suggestion is go for it, and get to know your website and web hosting better.

14 Oct 08 Bloggers To Get Paid From Blog Reviewed Sponsors
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…..
- PayPerPost (one of the biggest with a market place, reliable and great guidelines)
- ReviewMe (popular, without needed to search for advertiser who will search for bloggers)
- SponsoredReviews (both advertisers and publishers search each other, quite well-known)
- 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.
- 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.

22 Sep 08 Initialize the name of your website or blog
Every website starts with something .. a name..
I personally tried blogspot and wordpress and I decided to work on wordpress which will give me more flexibilities in the future. It is true that you can have your own domain name www.yourname.com hosted on either blogspot and wordpress blogs. My decision is to use one of my domain names and my web hosting to run on. Because it will give me opportunity to maintain my own website as well as advertising and referral programs that I may be using in the future. On the other hand, both blogspot and wordpress can have plug-ins for displaying ADS, especially google ads.. and just a couple of clicks away for you to implement.
For domain names, .. there are many domain name providers all over the world.
I suggest gkg.net, godaddy.com or register.com
they are realiable and quick to maintain.
For web hosting, do some research before you make any decision.. I would suggest sites such as
findmyhosting.com, hostindex.com, and webhosting.resourceindex.com
The budget for your fully working website should not exceed more than $60 a year (Let’s say you buy budget shared-hosting with domain name). Most web hosting would offer free domain name as long as you host your domain with them as well.. So that you can operate better at low cost. But make sure you do enough research before you sign up with any web hosting company.
I am currently using this awesome web hosting company called, web hosting buzz, and has been using for past 5 years and All I can say is, I am pretty happy about with my hosting.
Any comments and suggestions, please drop one.. Thank you for reading.
