AdSense BOOYAH!!! 2008-04-27 18:24:57 I must confess that I had a blog while back. It was nothing but an attempt to chronicle a customer service issue I was having with a mortgage company ( I am not the only one UGH )I chose the Blogger platform becasue it was 'push button publishing'. It was there that I learned the BASICS, and I do mean basics. The only tricks I learned was how to embed a link into a single word or sentence . I was told that I should link liberally. Doesn't make super sense seeing as these are outgoing links but what the heck. You will notice I do this in my posts.Someone also told me that I should throw up some adsense ads. So I got an Adsense account and did absolutely nothing with it. I have had more comments (2)from the MyBlogLog post then in an entire year at my other, now defunct, blog! I reactivated t
Getting on MyBlogLog 2008-04-27 15:04:36 So the whole point is to get traffic ( people) to come to your site. I would assume I am going to spend a great deal of time concentrating on this. In my travels across the internet I have been told one tool I could use to get my site listed where potentially millions of people would see it is a Yahoo service called MyBlogLog. So I joined MyBlogLog and began basically surfing and joining communities of similar interest. I found a lot of good information. I am not sure this is going to translate to traffic back to me but we shall see. To get some metrics about this they require that you place a line of code in your template. That's right I said that. Like a true internet hacker ! I had no clue to what that was about. So, I am using the blogger platform and found some sites that helped me
MyBlogLog Suprises 2008-04-27 14:59:04 Ok, so I am wandering aimlessly around the net trying, hoping to make a few dollars and I did this MyBlogLog thing. BAM!!!First off I have actually found interesting sites at MyBlogLog communities that I am actually picking up tips, tricks , insight and what have you about making money online fromSecondly, I'll be darned, I have actually had visitors evidenced by 2 comments thus far!!I am ok thus far with the MyBlogLog widget but I have been runnung into a mixed bag of sentiment so we shall see!Looking around the web I am sooo outgunned and behind some of these Making Money Online ( MMO) websites. They have links and widgets and ads and so on and son. I figure I will get there. BABY STEPS!!I would say day one is a sucess !!
Dollars Signs 2008-04-26 18:26:04 Like everyone else, I have been seeing and hearing ads and stories about folks making boatloads of cash on the internet. For the most part this talk reminded me of some infomercial on television. EspeciallyDon Lepre . I can almost hear him talk about how easy it is. I have seen this make money on the internet talk for a good part of a decade. Every once in awhile I would see real lifeproof that people were really are making money on the web. I would get the itch to jump in and then realize I probably have missed the boat. Better, if these people are making so much why share it with me? Well, I discovered that am not getting any younger and I can't make money if I don't try. So here goes! But first, a couple of things I am sure are true: I am pretty positive you can't become a millionaire w
$$$ ARE YOU KIDDING ME ??? $$$ 2008-04-28 23:38:35 OK, I am stil suffering the effects of a tragic virus but had to share this with you ASAP. I went to my AdSense account and.... get ready .. wait for it.. FIFTY TWO CENTS!!! I am whole heartedly honest when I say I am E S T AT I C. 10 page impressions and 1 click through ( which I still don't know wha tthat means 100% yet) I honestly didn't think I would make a dime by this point. This is a couple days LITERALLY in to all this and I am still loading up the pipeline and learning. Oh ye little faith I had !!!I am still cruising through the blog directories, joining communities etc etc. I have found some really great and informative websites that I have bookmarked along the way too.I am starting to do other things too.More on all this later, as I said the computer virus has me blue...
Cold and Flu Season Comes To My Computer ! 2008-04-28 23:26:11 Well I don't want you to think I have been avoiding you or getting lazy dear gentle readers . On the advice of a family member I went against my better judgement and got 'something' from file sharing! Malware , adware, spyware , virus and registry problems. My computer is on life support one step from intensive care in the form of complete restoration . I contemplated the GeekSquad and that may still be in the offing but I have used an online forum before called BleepingComputer
.com and they really fixed me up. So I am attempting to go that route again. They do offer their services for free but I made a donation ( as many do) because they did a bang up job. Trouble is they are really backed up. Could be 5 days before they start looking at my problem. Because of that I read through the tuto Read more:Season
SAY YOU SAY WE...Pay to play on Yuwie! 2008-04-29 23:28:44 Believe it or not MyBlogLog is actually turning out to be a nice resource personally. I use it to surf around and learn about all this online marketing and money making stuff. I have never heard of a site called Yuwie before until I ran across it in someone's blog on MyBlogLog. It appears it is a new social networking site where you get paid to basically socialize. The premise seems a little pyramidish as it is all about getting people in your network. I would imagine that it takes aLOT of people to develop critical mass to earn any sort of cash. I am of course skeptical. I did run across some success stories however that I found interesting. This hep cat made about $100 or so but it took a lot of peeps. So I am going to give it a whirl as it is of course free. Feel free to use me as a ref
In Sickness and In Health 2008-04-29 22:58:15 A little word regarding my virus/malware/adware problem. I have been at it for about 8 hours total. The fine folks at bleeping computer have moved things along but my machine is still a little wonky . Surfing and file sharing is like sex without protection and drinking and driving at the same time. I should known better and listened to my parents.

Bleeping Computer ROCKS !! 2008-04-30 21:25:51 As you may( or may not) know I got infected with an online version of SARS or or something. I had malware, adware you name it. I went to a forum called bleeping computer and they rocked it ! They walked me through open heart surgery on my computer, Highly recommend. Actually any of these forums listed HERE would do. You need to be patient and realize it may take a few days. Some of these 'surgeons' are in different time zones and different countries. I used Bleeping once before. Like most of these forums they are free but I PayPal a little gift for their help. It's the least I can do. Beats clearing out the disk and losing a million dollars worth of iTunes content or having the GeekSquad come in. Thank Bleeping Computer
, YOU ROCK!!!
FACT: I Made Money Today (afternoon update) 2008-05-01 16:16:13 So I just wandered over to see how my blog was doing mid-day. I see I earned .24 today. I'll take it. I have no real way of seeing site statistics other then what AdSense can give me. I hear people talk about seeing what keywords or sites referred them to their site but I have no idea (yet) how to accomplish that. So I am learning what I can online and feeling my way around in the dark. I can't really say if this preliminary buildup is taking longer or shorter then I expected. I do know the more I learn the more I get sidetracked so to speak. For instance this whole making-money-with-social-networks thing like Yuwie and Zenzuu . I still am in the embryo stages. More to follow.....

GET YOUR BLOG ON TWITTER 2008-05-03 02:32:16 I have added the ability to have my new posts show up in twitter .I think this is big.First off, Twitter is an awesome distributed micro-blogging chat system. That’s right I said that. My own words too! You have to say what you want to say in 160 characters or less!I would say it’s really hard to explain it to someone. I mean on the surface the explanation is quite easy. Take a look at this video HERE. On first glance most people would say is shallow even dumb. But not all people! Of course there is the usual human interest success storiesIt may not be life changing but twitter is more powerful then one would think. It goes beyond the 'what-are-you-doing-stage. It has enormous potential for blogs and bloggers. I can't count the number of times I have learned about a blog, blog po
Screw You Larry Page and Segey Brin 2008-05-04 14:13:37 This is a very true story: I was turned on to google.stanford.edu sometime in 1996 by my friend and computer hack Steve Squire. I was so sick of yahoo's search results by this time. Google was awesome. At the google site they had the graduate thesis outline and they had pics of logos they mulled over and rejected ( some were heinous!) and they had a picture of the google servers and computers. The pictures looked like the servers were a hacked up pile of crap in a lego (I kid you not lego!) box. Well they moved on from Stanford and somewhere between 1996 and 1999 they got rid of the pictures. I used to show them to people for a good laugh.. who knew google started with servers like THIS. Anyway, I sent an email to google asking where the pictures went. About 3 days latter I got an email re Read more:Screw

Why Do I Need Feedburner Anyway? 2008-05-03 21:19:43 So I was talking previously about being able to get site statistics, reffering links etc. Clueless! So I started with trying to get the blog listed in google. Way over my head. When you start talking about HTML stuff it becomes meaningless. Noise. I end up doing more harm then good .First off why do I need a feedburner account? I heard it was a good idea. ( let's make one thing clear when I say I "heard" or was "told" it usually means I stumbled across it on the web. Very rarely does somebody actually 'tell' me something to my face.) As you may or may not know I had another blog previously for a very short time and ran into this same conundrum. Why do I want to redirect my feed via feedburner? Seems to me, for someone that doesn't know code, that it just gums the works. Broken before I am Read more:Anyway
