SheToldMe.com is a Digg-like website where you can submit your favorite blog post and have people or other members vote on it. The more votes your submission receives the higher the chance it’ll have to be featured on the homepage. Just like Digg, getting on the homepage, even for a brief moment, translates into huge amount of traffic.

Now, unlike Digg, SheToldMe.com has a 100% adsense revenue sharing program available to its members. Upon signup, there is a form field where you can input your Google Adsense Publisher ID and there is also an input field for your Chitika User ID. Whenever your submission is viewed, an adblock with your publisher ID is also shown. [...continue reading SheToldMe.com, Promote and Make Money]

Yesterday, I received an e-mail from a certain Joseph Sullivan (sullivan@domainsecondhand.com). He was inquiring about one of my domain names that is for sale. Thinking that it was a legitimate inquiry, I responded and gave him the link to the domain name’s sales page in sedo.co.uk.

The next day, he responded saying that the domain name he was interested in is worth about $5,000 – $7,000 USD but to make sure he would need an appraisal from an independent appraisal company and included a forum link where domain appraisals were discussed. The forum was highly suspicious because it was just an HTML archive page of what supposedly a previous forum discussion. [...continue reading Domain Name Sale Scam]

Today, I received another e-mail from a fellow Entrecard member telling me that I should link my Entrecard to the main page of my blog and not to isolated pages. He also cited that it was against Entrecard’s Terms and Conditions. I used the term “another” because it was the second time this particular Entrecard member has sent me a message about it. The first time was last September 3, 2009 and the content of the message was the same.

Message dated September 3, 2009 reads:

FYI:

You should direct your Entrecard to the main page of your weblog, not to specific, isolated pages thereof.

After getting this message, I immediately contacted Entrecard and asked about it and they responded with “Yes, you can change your website url in your dashboard.” [...continue reading Entrecard Link]

I learned about Adgitize a couple of months ago and have been a member since then. I’m not what you can call a very active member but I still made a couple of bucks on my first month with Adgitize. 2 dollars and 38 cents ($2.38 USD) to be exact. If you are an active Entrecard dropper then I’m sure you have seen Adgitize ads on many Entrecard member blogs. In fact, that is how I found out about it.

I can describe Adgitize as an inexpensive advertising platform for bloggers. The cost of advertising with Adgitize is only $24 USD a month and your ad is displayed on all member blogs. If you are also a publisher then you can get it back by being active in the network. [...continue reading Traffic and a Few Bucks with Adgitize]

I’m sure many of you are familiar with websites that offer link shortening services like TinyURL, Tr.im, Bit.ly and others. I used to use these link shortening websites a lot but not anymore. Now, I am using a website that offers almost the same service but allows you to make a few pennies from your links. The website is called Linkbee.com and I’ve been using it on one of my blog.

Like any other URL shortening websites, you can use Linkbee.com to shorten your links without registering an account but if you wish to make cash links and have the ability to manage, track and analyze your short links then you will have to register for one. Once you’re registered you’ll be able to create all the cash links you want. [...continue reading Monetizing Your Links]

If you are a member of Social Spark then I’m sure you are already familiar with Sponsored Tweets since they have this huge banner about it on their site. Sponsored Tweets is Izea’s latest addition to their online money making platforms for bloggers like Social Spark and Pay Per Post but this time its for tweeters.

As the name implies, Sponsored Tweets pays tweeters to tweet for their advertisers. A tweeter can receive as much as $100 USD for a sponsored tweet. Upon sign-up, Sponsored Tweets will provide a suggestion on how much you should charge advertisers per sponsored tweet but you can easily change it to your preferred amount. Just remember, asking for more money may lead to fewer or no advertisers at all. [...continue reading Izea’s Sponsored Tweets]

Bloggers love to write about various things and most, if not all, love to get paid for what they write. In fact, many bloggers are making money from blogging and how I wish I was one of them. Ha ha ha!

Last year, I came across Bukisa, a site where you get paid for submitting contents like articles, videos, audios and slideshows. I was very skeptic about it back then but still, I  submitted a few articles and moved on to other things. A few weeks back, I received $10 USD from them (Bukisa). It seems that the articles I submitted were continuously earning money for me. The accumulated earnings reached Bukisa’s minimum amount for withdrawal and it was then sent automatically to my PayPal account. [...continue reading Bukisa Pays! Woohoo!]

After spending an entire day trying to remove this dreadful program called AV Care without success I finally decided that it would be much easier to just format my hard drive instead and it was. I did not know what AV Care was or how it got installed but my wife was using my computer that day. My guess is, she accidentally clicked something and installed the program, AV Care, without her knowing it. I later found out about it when, after booting the computer, the AV Care interface suddenly appeared and started scanning for viruses and other threats. It then reported that my computer was infected with all sorts of stuff and to remove them I need to pay for the software which, of course, I did not do.

AV Care was not unfamiliar to me and, thanks to Google,  I found out that it was a fake anti-virus program that tricks people in buying it by presenting its victim with a bogus infection report. Upon learning what AV Care was, I immediately removed it by uninstalling it. Although, the program did uninstall itself it seems that it has already did some damage to my computer like multiple processes of a certain windows application suddenly appeared which greatly slowed down my computer, Spybot – Search and Destroy won’t execute as well as a few other programs and a google installer kept on giving me error messages. [...continue reading AV Care Nightmare]

For those active with Entrecard, I am sure this is not something new for you but since I am not that active anymore with Entrecard seeing it for the first time is quite amusing. Ha ha ha!

So, I logged in my Entrecard account today to approve some pending ads and to do some card dropping. I don’t drop cards that often anymore because I find it boring, tedious and hard. Anyway, when I was already doing my round of card dropping I noticed that the “DROP” text on the different member blogs I was visiting would always be in a different position. It was moving randomly from left to right (or right to left). I am not sure if it has always been like that but it was my first time noticing it. I guess it is one of Entrecard’s way of preventing automated card dropping.

Well, at least that discovery made my card dropping session a little less tedious and less boring but it still did not make me drop that long. I stopped at 196 drops which earned me 196 credits. I then used the credits I earned to purchase a few cheap ads. Who knows, those cheap ads might bring in a few visitors to my own blog. He he he!
