BuyBlogReviews.comAnother Blog Money Making Gig! 2008-01-09 04:17:00 Here's another cool money making program I recently joined in. The deal is similar to payperpost.com, smorty.com, linkworth.com and sponsoredreviews.com. where a blogger can scan through available posting opportunities and bid for job you want to blog about. The good thing about buyblogreviews.com is this brand new site is not saturated yet which means I can still make money by promoting their affiliate program to other bloggers looking to monetize their blogs. The payback is 15% of the total amount paid to your referral once he gets paid for the first time.The best thing about buyblogreviews.com is since they are still brand new and they just recently launched this month, they are still lenient on accepting blogs which means even if you have a relatively new blog with no pagerank, you can still get accepted. This is a cool deal for new bloggers trying to earn some money online. So check out buyblogreviews.com now by clicking on the image below! Joining another program couldn't hurt ...

Search Engine Company To Promote Your Blog 2008-01-08 06:19:00 If you are maintaining a blog, promoting it is almost an imperative.

Pinoy Exchange Forums Losing Love? 2008-01-07 15:49:00 I used to love Pinoyexchange.com's call center forums. I was an active member even before I started blogging. I'd have to admit it was a great take-off platform in getting this blog recognized by leading people here. There's lots of insights about the goings-on in our industry coming from our people in the grassroots mostly call center agents of course. At that time, using the website was a struggle because of the slowness of the site yet I still use it a lot.In the past few days, I checked back with Pinoyexchange to find out what's new and I was surprised to find out it wasn't the same since after I stopped visiting. Sure the speed of the site improved a little (though there have been downtimes occasionally) but the participation of the forum members are not as frequent as I used to see. Where have all those users gone? Too busy with work? I know some of the readers of this blog came from pinoyexchange. Tell me where you've been! ...

The Circus That IS The 2008 U.S. Elections 2008-01-07 13:40:00 I don't how, when and why I got so hooked watching news about the U.S. Presidential campaign these on Fox news channel these these but I have to tell you... them presidential wannabes are entertaining! It's like a circus meets mixed martial arts match.I just watched the Republican Forum on Fox a few hours ago and it was hilarious. I just loved how these 5 Republican white old dudes lash out against each other while making themselves look good while restraining themselves from hitting each other in the face! Ha!I can't remember a time that I watched a show where I felt so annoyed yet equally enjoyed the experience. I enjoyed hearing these Republican dudes talk about how good they are but talk less about the specifics on what they can do if elected. After all the rhetorics, nobody has really presented any impressive ideas. The funniest thing the whole show is how many times the word "change" was said. Well, listen dudes... you're Republicans! And how do you expect people to believe y ...

Hard Drive Sweeper 2008-01-07 13:03:00 Recently, I admitted to a friend that blogging has been such an addictive habit that I felt a little empty after I had to leave the house and not be in front of my PC. A stunning admission even to myself. Like me, more and more people in this country is getting hooked not only in blogging but also just plain surfing the net, chatting online and downloading free stuff. All of these habits present a vulnerability to spying. These times with the advent of new computer-use tracking technology, every little thing one does on a PC is tracked by some software especially design to do tracking even operating systems can track files accessed and browsing history. Surprisingly, deleting history and deleting files does not eliminate the vulnerability.For those especially conscious about keeping their private history private, it takes a specialized software to get things done. A hard drive cleaner like Evidence Blaster can enable users to delete traceable history permanently and relieves them of an ...

A Promising New Source Of Blog Income 2008-01-05 13:01:00 You should know that I am always on the look out for new ways for my blogs to earn me some dollars. I go very far when it comes to monetizing. I even scour top bloggers to see what they are on and if the stuff they are on would work for me. Well, I've gotten mixed results doing that. The worst was signing up for Blogrush. I'm not even sure if I could have earned money through Blogrush but hey since the top bloggers are on it then it must be good. Wrong! Blogrush lost its hype when a lot of bloggers complained about a lot of nagging problems. Then it was downhill for Blogrush from that point on. Right now, nobody talks about Blogrush anymore. The buzz fizzled and I never heard anything about Blogrush anymore for about a long time now. I did sign up but as soon as I did I had a gut feeling that something was not right so I stopped short of installing their widget. I felt good that I never did. And so there goes my worst ending story in my hunt for money-makers. I did sign up for succes ...

2008 U.S. Presidential Elections - How the outcome might affect us! 2008-01-04 12:23:00 The U.S. mainland has gone crazy about politics since the start of 2008! It's not surprising though. In less than a year, the Americans will choose who among a woman, an African-American and a bunch of white dudes will get to be the most powerful man ( or woman ) on the face of the planet. This also will ultimately decide which direction America will take in the next four years in terms of economy and foreign policy among others but the two mentioned will have the biggest impact on outsourced jobs here in the Philippines and to the Philippines as a whole.I usually blog during the wee hours of the morning and while I'm typing away I have my T.V. on Foxnews channel watching the "ruckus" of the caucus in Iowa. I was a bit surprised how dirty politics in the U.S. was! In a nutshell, it is perfectly legal for a presidential hopeful to run T.V. ads to discredit their opponents. I doubt if the political mudslinging here gets as dirty as what they do in the U.S.At the moment, it's still in ...

I finally cracked Reviewme.com! 2008-01-04 11:13:00 Ok I might be eating my own words a little bit here because I used to rant about how reviewme.com sucked in a bloggers' community I used to participate in but I have to admit I'm starting to like them already.I wasn't in the habit of logging in to my account at reviewme.com before because my Olympics blog, which was the first one I submitted, hasn't been able to actively participate in the advertisers marketplace ergo I can't make money. I logged in to every pay-to-blog sites I participate in then just for the heck of it I hesitantly logged in reviewme.com to see if anything has improved. To my surprise, I had at least 15 opportunities to post! Even better, unlike other pay-to-blog sites I lurk in, jobs here are very lucrative. Most of the opportunities I saw was $15 per post! Sweet! And so I grabbed the first ops I can get my hands on and posted right away. Submitted it and I'm done. I checked out the rest of the ops and grabbed everything I can right away. In total, I grabbed 1 ...
