Making Money Online is not a myth 2007-10-04 05:56:00 Many people I know tend to dismiss money making opportunities on the web as hog wash. I do not blame them a bit due to the amount of scammers online. Let's not mix both of them up for a while. I myself have been a skeptic! I have been duped with get-rich-quick scams... So I spent considerable amount of time researching. Ad networking and affiliates seems to be the most reliable way of making money online. It's like any magazine you'll find out there and if your readership is high, you'll be getting good money for pixel real estate. As an example here's my second cheque from AdSense, due to the TOS I am not able to disclose the amount, let's just say it's enough to fuel my ride for 3 months. For people who want to know more about how you can start making some cash - contact me or hang around this blog.... Good luck! Read more:Money

Create Contact Form for Blogger, MySpace, Typepad 2007-10-11 10:03:00 For those using Blogger
, usually the only way a reader can contact you is via email and the main drawback of putting your email address on your blog is that it draws in spams. A contact form will solve that problem but Blogger does not support email-form scripting, so we can't create a Email form directly using Blogger.However there is a nice way of creating your own contact form in Blogger and the best part is that you can get is set up in 5 minutes!Here's how:A tool by WebForm Designer allows us to host any contact form externally and all we have to do is to put this contact form in your blog post or Html widget box.1.

AdSense in YouTube? 2007-10-06 04:14:00 There is an interesting "rumor" going around about Adsense in Youtube videos according to this page on YouTube
, certain sites can now embed YouTube players that contain an AdSense unit above the clip. Which means you could soon make money by embedding YouTube clips in your site.The page, spotted by ProBlogger today, doesn’t yet provide a way to sign up for this, and I can’t find any mention in my AdSense account. However, it does display a new type of embedded player that’s long enough to accommodate the ad unit. It also mentions that the player is customizable.The results could be interesting: if these are the typical Pay Per Click ads (probably a safe assumption), revenues will be low. If they are pay-per-view, however (click the banner to view a video ad in the player), the results could be better.They also seem to be dodging a bullet: putting these ads on just any old videos would lead to YouTube paying publishers for distributing potentially copyrighted content. That doesn

There are many blogging services available with a variety of different features. Most of them are free, available as an open source, others require some from of programming, configuration, HTML knowledge to get them up andrunning.For new bloggers who are not 100% sure it
