Leaving a comment is the best promotion ways:

• Leave a comment on every blog you’ve visited, this is one effective ways to promote your blog.
• Make positive comment on other’s blog.
• Fill in guestbook, online chat or tag board if it is available.
• Give a simple and suits compliment to blog author, don’t to excessive in giving complimentary, there somebody accept compliment as humiliation.
• Give a weight comment according to the topic.
• Don’t do spam word, like “Visit to my blog”, “hey, Come to my brand new blog”. This is not good ways to promote your blog, blog owner which is you leave a comment will be annoyed about it.

Join Mailing List and Forum:

• This will build strong relationship with other bloggers.
• Find the suitable and match your blog’s topic with the forum’s topic.
• Try to answer all questions on forum, and give nice comment on it. Once again, don’t do spam.

Banner Exchange

For new blogger:

• Find well known blog that has high rank, besides leaving a track, this make your blog will be indexed by search engine.
• Link exchange among blogger is not only making your blog being known, but this is as media to recognize blog URL address which had you visited.
• Don’t you ever feel angry, sad, humiliated if there is no link back to your blog. Think positive and always think positive.
• Give useful comment wisely and in proper way but containing great and look promising, like “This blog give me a lot of great things, I will bookmark it and subscribe to your RSS. I will surely revisit”. This is good way to make blog owner feel warm and happy, and it is big possibility he/she will do the same thing to you.

For old blogger:

• For famed blogger that has blogging in such a long time, share your link to others especially the new ones, because you are nothing without their support.
• Link exchange with new blogger will not give you any beneficial from page rank side, in fact this give them page rank support, but you have to remember that your blog will keep visit all time and will kept in new blogger’s mind. This has simple reason; they will feel appreciated and also give positive impression.
• Don’t you feel irked with new blogger manner, you should tolerate their action because they are new (including me myself) and need more time to learn a lot, try to remember the past when you were still learning how to promote your blog, maybe you did the same thing like new blogger do in this time.

Email Publication

This is an effective way to publicize your blog, for example you send email to your friend, family, and business partner. Leave your blog URL address as further information about your business without any compulsion to visit your blog.

Avoid SPAM Utilization

Spam is an action to promote a blog without considering time and place. Make sure you choose the right place and tools to promote your blog.

Advertise Not Only In Virtual World

Besides promotion in virtual world, you should consider to buy ads in real world.

Register Your Blog to Third Party

Phising is one type of deceit though internet for stealing personal information. Phising usually done by send “bait” as email that will directly guide the receiver to fake sites which have lot in common to the real ones. Those sites will ask their visitors to input their personal information like credit card number, bank account, password, birth date, or real mom’s name. That information is used to do their crimes.

Phising is derived from fishing, commonly, phising ask someone from email to visit a certain site, that’s why phising mail always has link to be clicked which will guide to one site that has personal information form to be completed.

To avoid from being trapped by phising, take seriously these things:

1. General greeting, phising usually send in large number of emails in one time. To make it effective, this internet criminal use general greeting like “Dear customer”.
2. Forged Link, put your mouse on the intended link and watch it whether the hyperlink is correct. When there is disconfirms, don’t click the link. Trusted sites usually had prefix “https”. It means “Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure”; don’t move to the next steps when you don’t see this on the link. One thing, phising address always in mess up form.
3. Ask for personal information, phising has main objective to get others personal information, so don’t trust for email that ask for things like this.
4. Seen to Emergency, these internet criminals make you think there is something important had happened, so it needs quick action, like “urgent”, so if you receive email like those things above, please be careful, watch out. You could be the victim of phising.

The core thing is, don’t you ever easily put in your identity. If you make transaction through internet, never do this from any other third party address; do this directly on the merchant address. Make sure you type it by yourself on the address bar.

Blog owner who spend lot of time each day on internet have great chance to generate online earning up to thousands dollars per month. I have joined some of them now with quite enough monthly average earning.

Millions people create their own blog and make posts, but only few of them utilize it as online cash machine generator. Actually, bloggers write posts without any special commercial purposes unless share their thoughts and knowledge, as hobbies funnel, diary substitution, figure their personal opinion out, or as information storage.

At the first era, blog appears for those particular purposes, it is not used as cash machine generator (now as profession). Along with lately information technology development and internet advertising change blog to be advertisement media which is need to be brought into play, even could competes with the old media like magazine and newspaper. In US, Google has defeated other news media for advertising traction.

As my personal analyzes, the biggest online earning generator is Adsense by Google, and Publisher by Yahoo!, the rest only few others. For years, millions dollars are got by Google and Yahoo! from their advertisers, half of those money are shared to their partners as commission for advertisement installation on partner’s blogs. Thousands blogs are created everyday, and there is no brand new newsletter or magazines are created in a month conversely, this phenomenon (enormous new weblog) is targeted by Google, AdBrite, Yahoo!, Text Link Ads, etc to spread out their ads.

There are many product options offered to blogger, people who always work in front of computer and has internet connection must know it, usually in text ads or banner ads. Blog owner just have to be their member, it is for free, and when it is approved, blogger just need to copy and paste the special code that is given to view the ads onto the blog pages. Afterwards, just to wait cash are flow into personal bank account – it depends on how many visitors are clicked those ads.

Noteworthy, Adsense couldn’t be installed onto Wordpress.com; then you have to create a blog on your own hosting in order to install ads from third party to get commission. Hosting plan is diversify in its costs, cheap and expensive depends on your needs and strategy. When you are still intent to install Adsense by using Wordpress software, you have to make your own hosting plan.

Below as follows are 22 Blogger Online Earning Resources you could apply on your blog:

• Direct Sponsored Ads – this method of earning money is by directly put advertiser ads on our blog without any broker or third party interference. More or less similar to mass media ways of advertisement. I apply it on this blog, but still have no site/blog owner buy ads from this blog; you have to know that I only set $5 a month for this ads spot on my sidebar of my blog.The ads is in banner form and sometimes could be in advertorial form (ads post).
• Donation – blogger unveil their bank account number or PayPal on their blog for receiving donation from others. There is no amount limitation.

Some of my online earning also comes from PTR (Paid to Review), where blogger will be paid for making post about advertiser’s site/blog, such as follows:

• SponsoredReviews
• LinkWorth
• Pay Per Post

Have such in common to others above is Shvoong - in this site, blogger and un-blogger (without even having blog) could generates money for writing good quality article which is posted on there, we will be given royalty where the amount depends on our article popularity, and you need to know that you are free to choose your topic.

Keep enthusiastic to do blog activity guys.

About a week ago at September 3rd, 2008 I joined LinkWorth, one Search Engine Marketing site which has various programs both to advertiser or publisher (site/blog owner). There many programs could generates bucks for you, those names are weird like LinkAds, LinkSura, linkpost, linkintxt, linkmura, linkbb, and linkpack. I just don’t know yet about those things are, because I am new to that program.

One program that I know better is LinkPost, this program kind of similar with SponsoredReviews or Blogsvertise which is based on PTR (Pay to Review), our job is to make review about advertiser’s site/blog and will be paid when our post are approved. Commissions are diversify start to $10 up to $50. Until today, I don’t still get one even job yet from this program.

Other LinkWorth’s program still in waiting list to be followed, because I still have not time to learn it. For all you have been succeed on LinkWorth, please give me your lesson on my comment side. For people who have not joined and want to join to LinkWorth please feel free to be my referral.

This book is good to be read for whoever wants to build his/her site/blog to better direction and profitable method. I think Seth Godin’s opinion could still acceptable and could be applied well on our site/blog.

This book puts its main discussion on content mistaken and website layout, people seems to be less effectively arrange their site/blog content and layout, it seems to be bias and too many unimportant things on site/blog pages, thus site/blog purposes is not arrived well to visitors.

Although site/blog content classified to in great quantities, you have to be able to arrange those things in such a manner to direct visitors to your site/blog purposes (subscription/sales/download/etc). You have to make clear sign, mark for your direction to site/blog goal/purposes.

This pages that selling The Big Red Fez which its content relates to how to make any web site better. This pages purpose is to sell this book, you could see clearly “banana” which is offered is price box and add to shopping cart button. It is designed well to attract visitors to click and buy it.

Seth through this book wants to send his message to us as site/blog owner to fulfill visitors needs by imagine ourselves as those kinds of visitors. Visitors are people who want an ease to obtain whatever their need, that is news/services/products. Visitors will never want to be busy, they always want everything happen in quite short time, easy and served well from the beginning till the end.

Seth said this word in several times, “Don’t make it easy for you (website owner/web developer), and Make it easy for me (customer). For the example, when visitors facing registration form, he/she have to choose his/her country, website developer usually provide this in pull down menu, if your target visitors are the US citizens, why don’t you make United States as the default option. It would bring an ease to your visitors.

Seth emphasizing to accuracy, carefulness to all of site/blog owner to keep pay attention to site/blog pages, articles. Always do inspection to those things, don’t let it has error page, wrong page, etc; this might cause your products or services in low demand because your site/blog has low visitors. People won’t come back return to site/blog that have to many errors on it.

I think that’s all my opinion about this book. Please, feel free to buy this book and read and share your knowledge to other people.

1. Using standard Wordpress themes.
   If this is your first time to write in blog in Wordpress, then you must underwent with standard theme, the blue ones. If you don’t make any change, this is the very big mistake you have done. Your blog has blue color, and very simple look, this is not attractive. Maybe more than half Wordpress user have changed their blog look. I suggest you make one simple change, at least to the header part. This is for your blog identity.
2. Too many times makes theme changes
   Too many times changing your blog theme is not good as well, visitors will assume that your blog is not ready yet. You have to be consistent using a certain themes. You can make some alterations, but don’t change your theme dramatically
3. Without read more
   I have seen blog that showed whole part of his/her post on his/her homepage in so many times. If its post just short article, it could be tolerated, otherwise if the post is one long article, and you have more than 10 posts like this, it definitely will make readers meet some difficulties to read them. Plus, it is not suitable thing when we talk about SEO, your post might be reputed as homepage duplicate content because of the same posts. With READ MORE added to your post, then it only shows half part of your full post one the front page (like this blog).
4. There is no category widget
   Category is used to make an ease for visitors to find their interested post, it gives another advantages in SEO perspective, that is as text link.
5. Too many accessories
   Blog will look more beautiful when it is added some kind of accessories like watch, visitors map, pagerank, last visitors, or others. But, it will be contrary when you add too many accessories on blog, one more thing, it will make your blog slow to load the pages.

Almost entire PTR Programs required Page Rank and Link Popularity as their rules and regulations. In fact, blogs with high page rank and enormous link popularity have high quality post as their content. Several of these blogs maybe have nice content, but the rest just full with unoriginal content alias copy and paste.

Different with any other PTR, Pay per Post (PPP) doesn’t use PR as their requirements for approving one certain blog. PPP gives priority to original content, continually update, and has been registered at least 3 months long. I think, PPP has manual system for their approval, there are several people read blog’s content, and then take decision to approve or disapprove.

It sounds a little bit weird, when others use automatic system, PPP still using manual system. In my opinion, this is the interesting part; machine could be cheated than man. One more thing, this ways of working reflects PPP professionalism. When one of my blog was approved, I realizing one fact, that is PPP not only applies against original content, but they take a look at to quality content and topic.

I hope this matter that PPP done and their members could change negative image which said site/blog that provides link as well as PTR has low credibility. I hope Google and other big search engine could see this fact, that not all PTR is a spam.

By the way, when your blog is approved, you will get one task to make review about PPP program in $20 commission. Just do this task, and post to your blog, copy the URL permalink of your post to tell PPP that you have finished the task. You just have to wait PPP approval; if this is approved then you will be paid as long as 30 days from approved date. If your blog has many quality contents and high traffic, maybe you would get another job, maybe not one even more. What nice extra money for your online earning.

Cuil search engine was released ealier from estimated time, their claimed that already have indexed around 120 billion sites, more than Google and others search engine did. Cuil direction board including three of Google former employees said that Cuil will be Google best competitor. One thing to be compared between Google and Cuil is the number of indexed pages, and the search result relevance as the main idea.

Cuil is one good search engine, but it seems that Cuil is not has search result as deeper as Google, and even the result is not so relevance as Google has. When you type dog on Cuil search engine, then it will shows 280 millions result, and Google reach 498 millions. Regardless relevance of search result is subjective, but Google put Wikipedia at the first place, than dog.com site. In contrary, Cuil put dog.com on the first place then Wikipedia. Both of them give the same result, but Google much better.

Techcrunch.com made comparison Cuil vs Google, they put Apple, France, Stonehenge, Silicon Valley in sequence, and the result is:

It is clearly Google has indexed much more than Cuil has done. Furthermore, Cuil result rank is not better than Google based on the same question. But, things to be considered is, Cuil just begin their search engine, while Google need one decade to built the powerful search engine.
