Cool Techs for Everyone

While browsing backup files that I've archived not so long time ago, I browsed into some of my mobile applications that I have used on my Samsung Omnia 2 and found a collection of GPS applications I've used before. GPS means Geographical Positioning System and it deals with maps and satellite connection and of course GPS devices. Now my Omnia 2 has a GPS device built-in on it and it is capable of tracking my position where ever and when ever I want.

Me and my friend tried one of these applications on his IPhone and it really worked so well. He has even tried using it on their long journey before. These days, having a built-in GPS on handset devices and smart mobiles or getting more in demand. Most devices may have their own GPS built-in on it but they have different performances. If having a gps device pn your mobile is a must, it is best to check out some of the best sat nav reviews found on the internet. It is always best to seek out some professional or unbiased reviews before using the application so you'll get most from your purchased product.

Saved from a Malicious Stalker!

Once again my life was saved by Microsoft's free antivirus.  I was busy browsing the web from Stumbleupon and I probably clicked on a link on some of the sites I've been browsing. Suddenly a window appeared - it is a Microsoft Security Essentials window. It was warning me of a possible threat found on that website and is trying to access my machine.

I remember having this same issue in another machine of mine that is quite old and is still using the Windows XP on it. Once infected with the virus, whenever I go to Facebook, I go to a different site with the same url as the facebook's. Can you believe that? 

It's not a joke when you face this same scenario so if ever you have been infected with a virus here is what you should do.

Benefits in Smoking. Are there any?

You're probably here because you thought there are great things one can achieve from smoking. Sorry but there are none. I just want to highlight how smokers can stop smoking or at least how they can be responsible smokers and what the damages smoking can bring anyone.

Even at a young age, I disliked smoking already. When I was on my 3rd year high school, I tried smoking but it really brought more dislike feeling for me. It's probably because of the smell and the fact that our lungs hates smoke. Here in Saudi Arabia, more and more people specially the locals, become smokers and not just smokers but chain smokers. Worst thing about their cigars are the smell, it sticks in your clothing and your hair and it made me hate smoking the more.

No offense to smokers, most of them are irresponsible smokers. Why? Because they don't care if the people around them (most of them are 2nd hand smokers) dislike smoking. Most of them just lit their cigars comfortably without a care in the world. To think the second hand smokers gets worst than them. If you have no idea, 2nd hand smokers are more dangerous than the 1st hand simply because the 1st hand smokers have filters on them while the 2nd hand don't have any. Best examples are the pregnant smokers and the other one is smoking in the presence of a child. What the parent don't know is that the child is the one that gets more affected than them. It is a selfish act that don't help but makes things worst specially to world climate change. If you don't believe check it out at Google. At least if they want to smoke, go to a private place where they are the only ones affected.

Play Time!

Long time ago, I used to be addicted at FB games like Cafe World, Yoville and the most fun and addicting game of all was the FarmVille. I love games and most of the games right now are so sophisticated where you have to be a member first in order to play or install some applications in your PC which by the way I don't recommend because of too much spreading of virus.

Once in a while it is nice to play some classic games or just plain games played online like flash games. Twilight game gives you hundreds of choices of games to play with like this shoot 'em up game below that made my clicking finger ache (lol!) Play the game below or visit their site for more games.

Dual-Core Android PC on a Stick Please!

The best of technology innovations always come on a tiny package. Take for example, Bose technology of speakers. Bose's technology in making quality speakers is one of the best in the world. Now, a new technology is on the making that emulates smartphone technology right at everyone's fingertip.

The great thing about this new technology is that you can make use of your very own TV via HDMI, laptop or even old PCs with USB to convert it into an Android PC.

FXI's Cotton Candy is a dual-core Android PC on a stick. It may look like a common USB device but inside - a 1.2 Ghz Samsung Exynos ARM CPU, ARM Mali-400 MP quad-core GPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, micro SD card slot for storage, and a HDMI jack on the opposite end (according to theverge's website). The Verge conducted a few test runs already and was able to play Angry Birds on a Mac PC.

It is still under development and will probably out on the market next year with a price less than $200.

Dropbox is Great!

I have been using Dropbox for quite sometime and I can now say confidently that it is indeed very useful. I've shared photos with friends and family and shared files as well. One great thing about it is that it is VERY EASY to use. Here are it's features:

• 2GB of Dropbox for free, with subscriptions up to 100GB available.
• Your files are always available from the secure Dropbox website.
• Dropbox works with Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad, iPhone, Android and BlackBerry.
• Works even when offline. You always have your files, whether or not you have a connection.
• Dropbox transfers just the parts of a file that change (not the whole thing).
• Manually set bandwidth limits -- Dropbox won't hog your connection.

You can register now and enjoy their services. You can also use it to store private files that are important to you on a secured private folder that is only available to you.

By the way here is a sample gallery of my family pictures, check it out HERE!

Techo Christmas Gift Ideas 2011

Okay, I was browsing through Jarir Bookstores new brochure for a few cool new computer or laptop deals probably hoping and dreaming of something cool to own this coming Christmas. Well, even if I do have the money, I'll probably think more than twice in buying my Christmas gift ideas because of the coming baby but here are a few of the deals I've found that is really reasonable.

1st Choice: HP DV6-6196EX

My first choice is this HP DV6 because of its processor and the size of the dedicated video card. It wasn't stated what brand of video card was packaged but based from HP website, it is a AMD Radeon HD 6770M (2 GB GDDR5 dedicated). It is best to ask the salesperson or better to ask them to show you what is the brand of the graphics card is.

Foxit Acrobat Reader a Great Alternative

Are you tired of using the usual Adobe Acrobat Reader? or just don't like how their installer keeps tracking Adobe products. Well here is a great alternative and pretty much lighter too. It is a from Foxit Software company. They also have some other products and software that is quite useful for developers too. I'll probably take a look at their products if every I need one for products that we develop.

It is also for FREE so no worries about the cost. They also have readers for different kinds of handsets of different kinds of operating system like Windows Mobile, Android and for Symbian OS (mostly Nokia cellphones.)

I have tried it and it actually loaded my PDF file quite easily than Adobe's own reader. Go to their site and download a copy now. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/

New Payment Proofs (Clicksia 4th & 5th / Clixsense 3rd / Ask2Link)

Wow! Once again I was paid by Clicksia and Clixsense. I forgot to post my 4th payment from Clicksia so I'll take this opportunity to post it now. I also received my 5th payment from them yesterday. Here is a summary of what I've received on my Alertpay:

Our team at Clixsense is still growing. I can't believe our team in Clixsense is known to be the most active team at Clixsense. So here are all my payouts:

Clixsense Reduced Minimum Cashout

Yes, it is true. Clixsense, the the number 1 PTC since 2007  has reduced their minimum cashout to $8 from $10.  Here is the introductory statement I have received in my email from them:

From Clixsense:

Meet The Avengers!

At last they have finally made the most awaited movie - well, it's not quite done yet. Most of the characters were portrayed by the same artist (Ironman, Capt. America and Thor) except for the Hulk which will be portrayed by Mark Ruffalo instead of Edward Norton. Check the trailer and enjoy.

Goodbye Adsense!

I just got an email from Google telling me that they have deactivated my Adsense account for invalid clicks. I've been maintaining its integrity for years and now they have deactivated it. According to their TOS and FAQ about these cases their are NO POSSIBILITIES of ever recovering my account or even apply for a new one. Too bad, I was preparing a new template for my two blog's template for a better Adsense ad placement but now it is gone.

A friend told me that I could try and appeal to Google by calling them but I won't do that since it is not worth the time and long-distance call. The call could probably cost more than the money on that account so why waste time, effort and money - I could probably get denied anyways. I was a bit sad but not that sad, now I know the reason how they get lots of money.

So to Google Adsense --- goodbye! It was educational.

Uncharted 2; Among Thieves

It's been a long time since I've posted again. I've been busy lately with some duties and responsibilities and I am still very busy. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish most of my responsibilites after two more weeks then I can go back to blogging. For the mean time, I'd like to share one of the games I will trully enjoy if ever I have a PS3 - that is if ever I am able to buy a PS3 hehe!

The game is more like a combination of Rainbow Six and Tomb Raider and I am glad they took both of those games best features. Here it is - Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, enjoy.

Bigger Memory for Progress

I've noticed that my desktop PC's performance is really..... making me want to throw it already. I don't have the bucks to buy a new PC so I guess it's the memory that I have to upgrade for now. We are on a very tight budget and I need to finish a project soon. I can't work when I try to open something and something fails and then hangs. I can't multi-task anymore and I don't have time to tweak things.

I guess I have to thank the people who invented the PC and made the parts quite easy to replace. Imagine if you could upgrade your TV as well, it would really be nice to have a personal touch in fixing something. Anyways, when I get my money tomorrow I'll definitely buy me 2 pcs of 2GB DDR2 memories.

My PC's performance is also the reason why I seldom blog now. It's too slow and it is making me lazy. Okay, two-fingers cross and hope I'll receive my salary tomorrow. See you again guys.

Cool Rewards for Responsible Consumer

An officemate once told me that he never got anything back from his online purchases. I asked him what he bought and he said that he always buy most of his favorite movies online. I jokingly said "that's it then, you got your favorite movies from your purchases". He just laughed but he was actually sour-graping over his bad habit of impulsively buying things online.

But what if you CAN REALLY get something else besides the product you are buying, would you try it?

The power of rewarding people through their purchases is one of the best online and offline marketing strategy most companies do now. Most credit card companies do this strategy too and it benefits both the company and the consumer. I am not an impulsive buyer but when in times of tight budget I use my credit card to purchase important products that I really need. So if I could hit two birds in one stone I'd do it and that is by taking advantage of their strategy. One warning though, most of the times it can be addicting so be a wise and responsible consumer if you don't want to be left with lots of debt.

One great thing is that this strategy is used by some websites that are affiliated to top online shopping industry like Ultra Prizes. They don't give you reward points but they'll give you a chance to win daily prizes of gift cards, vouchers for your future online purchases and their very cool monthly ultra prize Android device.

It is indeed rewarding when you get something else besides what you really want through your purchases. So if you are buying online, I suggest checking their offers and get a chance to win some of their cool raffle prizes by claiming it.

New Payment Proofs (Clicksia-3rd / PTC25-3rd)

Honest paying PTC (Pay-To-Click) site once again paid me. I remember having lots of PTCs before but a few were left now and that includes this two PTCs. I received these payments two days ago but I was unable to post it. Here they are.

Clicksia - this is my third time recieving a payout from them.

PTC25 - this is also my 3rd payment from them and it seems that they are still paying honestly. This PTC allows a minimum payout of even 0.10 at Paypal so I just keep trying to get payout to test their honesty.

Money in Blogging Part 1: SEO and SEM

I've been reading a lot lately about how you can earn through blogging with affiliate ads, blog reviews and search engine marketing but only a few I've read were quite solid and has proof of the said experience. My approach in my research didn't quite go well since none participated, I anticipated that anyways. It's a good thing I've already made my research from the past and I just want to confirm the latest approach or programs that may add to my research.

In my previous research, the best earning option for a user to earn online is the use of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Blogging on their sites or blogs.

SEO Blogging

Optimizing your site or blog to be more visible to search engines is the best way in earning income. If you are using Google's Adsense and you have executed the best pratices in optimizing your site which means best ad placements, best ad type (picture or text), best ad size and best keywords then you are on the right track already and of course quality content.

The Thundercats are Back!

Do you remember the old Thundercats Cartoons Show? I remember I used to imagine myself as Lion-O and while raising my sword I shout "Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats Ho!". Well, those were my fondest days. I am glad they're back, although I was expecting it to be shown on a 3D movie. Never expected to see it on TV.

Based on the trailer, this Thundercats 2011 cartoon series will start at the beginning, before Mumm-Ra was resurrected, before the team was founded and before Lion-O gets to have the Sword of Omens. Thundercats 2011 is currently shown on Cartoon Network.

Enjoy the show guys!

Clixsense Team Philippines has a New System

Okay, this may be an old news to all my fellow members but I would like to inform the others of their new Referral / Spillover system. Their old system was called NIL System or Next-In-Line System was changed now due to the growing number of new members that waits the NIL system.

Their new system is called Random Spillover System and no matter if you just joined or an old member, you will have the same chance as others. The system still monitors if you have completed your 3 referrals already. If you have completed the 3 refs then you will not be added on the new system anymore. But this gives you and your refs a chance to have their own PREMIUM refs which of course you will benefit as well. Don't forget Clixsense has an 8 level affiliate program which you'll get $1 for level 2-8 and $2 for level 1 or direct premium referrals.

Clicksia 2nd Payout!

Thank to Clicksia for continued honest administration. Here is my latest payment from another leading and paying Pay-to-Click sites. At Clicksia, you will get paid for viewing advertisements.

Got paid three days after withdrawal. It's not big time but I get paid for my spare time while viewing ads. Check their site here. You can check out some of my payment-proofs to see some of my other online income programs.

Cloud Computing Technology?

Back in year 90's when micro-floppy drive which has a capacity of 1.44 MB of storage was created, I remember I was always carrying a small verbatim box with me. Students thought it was so cool having to carry one. In my case, I used it to carry my ballpens, ID and four spare disks and one that contains all my personal documents like resume and other useful credentials.

Years after, came the USB (Universal Serial Bus) storage disk or what we call Flash Disk. It is very useful and way cooler than having to carry a micro-floppy box. Flash disk comes in various forms like cool keychains, credit card types or even toys. I have one myself which is a keychain that has a capacity of 8GB.

Credit Card type Flash Disk



On July 31st, Google+ Will Delete Private Profiles

There are a lot of commotion after the release of Google+ and people were talking about them with different opinions and reactions. Some reactions are bad and some are good but how will people react about the deletion of private accounts?

My only reaction would be.... is my google profile even priate? I don't remember setting any private setting ever so what is this with private accounts? Probably, this private profiles were only used for sending emails and not accepting any (spammers)? Probably used by people having an affair?

 

Skype on my Facebook!

What! Skype in your Facebook? You might not believe it at first but it is true. I've checked it just now to confirm and it is so easy to install. By the way, it is also announced on their blog. Facebook is really getting bigger and better and badder (in a positive way). I am still quite shocked to see "Login with Facebook" button in Friendster and now the news of Skype and Facebook -thus the phrase "If you can't beat them, join them!". Don't you just wish you are FB's developer?

Guy: Yes, we are at Facebook and our video is public so smile!

The Android Addict!

I've been using my Samsung Omnia i8000 with Windows Mobile 6.5 for over a year now and it's just like a plain basic smartphone now. I only use it to call and play a few games. And since its camera broke down for the third time and the warranty expired already, I grew tired and decided to accept the fact that I lost the camera already.

Samsung Omnia i8000 was already considered a failure and just after 6 months of being launched they just stopped promoting it and went promoting the new ones. It was my first time to buy a smart phone and it sucks whenever I realize its value. I am sour-graping here people and a bit regretful of my decision to buy it. I bought it the same time as my wife's HTC HD2. I thought since it has a dedicated graphics accelerator it will be faster but I was wrong.

Okay, I thought "was that it for my device?" until months ago I've heard of people trying to port Android on Omnia i8000. Yes, they are making the Android available for my dull mobile device. I was so eager to use it but when I read the article it says that there are still a lot of bugs and a lot of features are still not working, so I waited. And I waited.....

Never Stop Trying

Here is something inspirational for a change, hope this inspires you as it inspired me.

Sometimes no matter how hard we try to achieve success in monetizing our site or blog, we end up making new mistakes. It is like all our efforts are in vain and it gets tiring and frustrating sometimes. So should we put down all our cards, rest and just quit trying?

"We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails." - unknown source, Daily Inspirational Quotes.

Basically it means that we may not be able to control somethings but we are in control of ourselves. Keep trying and you'll be able to learn eventually. All the efforts we did before were not in vain, believe me. Charge it to your experience, a learning curve, a stepping-stone and in every mistake we do comes knowledge and wisdom. All those guys earning big bucks right now didn't start big time. In the future, when we are already earning - we'll laugh it all out and say "It's  a good thing I never stopped trying."

5 Steps I Did for My PR2!

Google just had a major update that was so unexpected. A blogger shouted at Facebook yesterday that is why I got aware of it. I remember the happiness I felt when XleonTips was ranked PR1 before and the sadness that I felt when it was taken away from me. BUT nevertheless, it was given back two-folds. It was really unexpected and I was a bit surprised to see the new ranking, probably if I was more active at promoting this blog I would have ranked higher (just thinking deeper).

So how did I make it to PR2?

After learning about the SEO / SEM and PR and how you can achieve it made this blog more meaningful. So when SEO Blogging, SEM Blogging or PR Blogging, what are the things you should do in order to achieve a higher PR? Check out my previous articles that helped me achieve this PR.

Heart of Swarm

I just finished playing Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty and all I can say is that Blizzard is really great at developing great games with great storylines. Two other great games from them with great storylines are Diablo and Warcraft. I always feel excited every time I watch the cutscenes whenever I finish a mission. It's like I am watching a movie and playing the role at the same time, the only difference is that you know each detail of the story since you are playing the role. I hope there are other games out there with great storyline. For now, I really have to upgrade my computer in order to catch up on their requirements. This game made a lot of fuzz on my machine - it takes ages to load (why can't they make a good game with less requirements?)

New Payment Proofs (Clicksia / PTC25)

Here are a few payment prrofs again. It's not much but it just shows that this PTCs are paying.

1. Clicksia - this is my first payment from Clicksia.

Tech Deals: Budget Gaming Laptop Deals

I was reading Jarir Bookstore's May-June brochure and checked out their current laptop offers and its price tags. I've managed to gather 3 top choices and I'd like to share it to you guys. Maybe you are planning on buying laptops you may check and consider these options. I've decided to review some of the options I find in the market and share it here and hope it helps any of those who are having a hard time picking their new toy.

First Choice:

Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 525M with CUDA™ Technology

Saudi Arabia Paypal Accepts Payment Now!

It has been a long time since I have visited my Paypal account. I just felt something weird about it when I saw a Paypal Saudi Arabia advertisement - "What's with Paypal Saudi Arabia if it can't receive payment?" I asked myself. I spoke to soon coz when I logged-in, I saw the Received Money on the menu. I swear it wasn't there before. So what am I so excited about? Well, it can only mean that I can now receive online payments if I am going to have online jobs. Yes, I am planning on having one or two since my company is on a crisis I am going to need a way to earn money somehow.

Currently, I am busy with a project - a self project just to show something to future clients. I'll probably join a group at oDesk or at Freelancer or just go on solo. But whatever I am going to do, this Paypal update is gonna be my mode of payment. So it is a good news for me -great news.

My Classic XBOX

There is a very powerful machine lying around in my storage that is just dusting and waiting to be utilized or disposed. I remember how I used to enjoy playing games on that machine like Halo and Halo 2, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, DOA - Dead or Alive and DOA: Beach Volleyball Version, etc.... It's too bad Bungee didn't make an Classic XBOX version of Halo 3. The reason it is in my storage is because the DVD's laser just got weak and unable to read most of my favorite games and it is hard to find good service centers here in Saudi Arabia.

Is LAN Gaming Dead?

What was the last game you and your friends have played via LAN? The last game I played a game with my friends was Warcraft: Frozen Throne and we were playing a tower defense map.

Five years ago, I remember that our friends and I used to play LAN games in our places. We setup a network hub/switch and connect and play our games. I remember the games we used to play like Command and Conquer, Red Alert, LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth, Warcraft: Frozen Throne and we also played some RPG games like Diablo I and Diablo II and for FPS games, we liked the Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon because we want to play cooperatively (we don't like Counter-Strike).

Multiple Blogging

It has been quite a while since I blog-hopped. Interesting thing was a few bloggers I knew seems to have more new blogs or blog. Great thing about having multiple blogs is that whenever you feel like blogging about something, you have plenty of places to put your ideas. Let's say you have a blog with comedy and entertainment niche and you happen to want to share some funny thing you encountered that day - of course you can blog it on that niche instead of putting it on your food niche.

Lately, I've been into a lot of challenges and I've been up and down so there's been a lot of things happening in my spiritual / inspirational blog. That is the beauty of having multiple blogs with different niches. It is helpful to stick to one to two niche each blog to raise your PR or pagerank in Google. And if you are into Search Engine Marketing (SEM) or Search Engine Optimization (SEO), you'll find this helpful in building up your site's rank and at the same time raises your site's value. If you have optimized your site/blog then earning money from it will be quite easy.

I am currently maintaining five blogs with different niches, how about you?

Evolution of Man: Homer Simpson Version

While the never ending conflict of theories about evolution of men continues to be the most conflicting issue between men of science and men of religion, Homer Simpson has his very own version of human evolution.

I hope you enjoy this video clip as much as I have enjoyed it. See you again.

Supernatural: Animated?

I just watched the episode which I think is the season ender for Season 6 of Supernatural. Stars Jared Padelecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester. Okay, I admit I am a fan of Supernatural. I was just quite shocked to see an anime that is based in this tv series. Wow! So they did make it through japanese's hearts. For all I know, most japanese love supersticious movies and some of the great animes I watched and liked were based on supernatural things such as vampires and witches. The movies that I am talking about are Vampire Hunter D, Witch Hunter Robin, Blood: The Last Vampire, etc.... By the way, these animes are very good and very recommendable to watch.

New Payment Proofs

I know I've been silent and I am very sorry about it. My current issue is that I am sick. I am still sick now but for the past period I've been away, GUILTY! I am pretty lazy to do anything those times now I really have to report up and catch up.

There are a lot of missed payout reports I have neglected to tell you guys so I'll just make a summary of it all in one. Basically, there are 4 payouts I neglect to report (2 from Ask2Link, 1 from Adgitize and the most current (which is today) one is from Clixsense.

Free Emoticons for Social Networks

Did you know that there is actually a free and easy way to get emoticons or to show-off at your Social Network sites? Here are some of the things you can use to make your Facebook status cool and shout with style at your Friendster. You may find it more appealing and less hazardous to your computer: 

Facebook's Annoying Splash Page

Are you an FB Fan or just a member? If you are then you might actually relate to this topic. Have you seen their splash page where you are asked to make Facebook your homepage? I must say that I am really annoyed by that. They may have included a "SKIP" button but it still is annoying to see every first log during a day, sometimes it is even rampant. I hope they remove it because it is like you have no choice but to make them your homepage if you don't want to be annoyed. 

Need Hardware Drivers for Old PCs?

Don't you just hate it when you try to download a driver on the internet and found out that what you have downloaded was a client software to detect hardware specifications and do the downloading for you? Well, I don't hate it IF it trully works but if it doesn't then it is a useless tool. I have been a victim of this thing a few times. They even name the file same as the file you are looking for and it really is very annoying.

Adsense On Demand on your Mobile!

I remembered a fellow-blogger commented about how he used to monitor his Adwords or Adsense almost every hour or 2 to see which of his keywords and niches did great in his blog. Imagine how would you feel when you are outside and you have the need to check the status of your earnings in Adsense. You might just get frustrated when you can't see most of the screens when you login to Adsense with your mobile.

Beware of Gmail Phishing Mail

This morning I have received an email from supposedly Gmail Team saying that I have violated some of their terms and my account will be disabled. When I clicked the url, I was sent to another website disguised as Google and even though I was logged in at Gmail, it shows there that I am still not logged-in.

I Like the new Clixsense!

Have you seen the new Clixsense website? I've seen it and I really digged it. Their old website was great already but if you have seen the new one you'll understand how I feel now. It looks great! The design was quite astonishing. There is one great feature that I know all PTC crazed people out there would really like. They have added the Paypal to their options of withdrawal and other cash transactions.

Officially a Premium Social Monkee!

After referring 12 people, I have made a breakthrough of having to achieve something out of NOTHING! Yes. I did not spend a buck or even a penny. As a premium member of Social Monkey, I get to see the reports on where my blog article has been posted. I am very glad to see it and I could defenitely say - it was well worth it to be a Premium Member.  And also as a free member I can build a total of 100 backlinks per article in 1 day - Yes! that is correct - 1 day.

What About Daddy Blogs?

I've been browsing the web almost everyday and I've been surfing and blog hopping but only a few Daddy Blogs I found on the web. How about you? Are you a Daddy Blog or just a plain blog. So what defines a Daddy Blog? 

First let us see the usual Mommy Blog. It is of course created by a Mom and usually a home-working mom. Well, I think usually Mom blogs are usually about earning money on the web online, parenting, cooking, taking care of children and household activities, etc... Well my Baul ni Noel blog comprised of something like that too - so should it be considered a Daddy blog or Dad Blogs (or a Mommy Blog lol!).

Adgitize Payment

I have just received yet another payout from Adgitize. That would be my 5th Payout this time. I'll probably renew if I think I will have lots of free time. But most probably no since I have 3 projects on the way and 1 deadline. It seems time is really gold.

1st Clixsense Payout and 3rd Ask2Link Payout

With joint effort from Clixsense Team Philippines, we were able to come up with a solid team capable of earning stream of profits. Maybe it is too early for me to say that but since we are a team when it comes to advertising, we have come up with 786 members now. Like what they say "Two heads and better than one" and indeed it is.

My friend showed me a couple of video clips by this crazy guy named Freddie Wong (crazy good ah). Actually, he is awesome! He (they) did a lot of cool videos that is fun to watch and very entertaining. And since I used to be a shooting game fanatic before (Counter Strike and Rainbow Six), I immediately super-liked this video clip. You can go and check the rest of his videos and see what I mean.

Warning! Before you play the video. The scene is not suitable for young ages.

Google Cuts Down Content Farms for Quality SEO

Google has revelaed their new ranking algorithm which most probably hit lots of website's or blog's ranking. They promise to have a better search query result with their new algorithms  resulting a big hit on publisher's optimizations. Now, using your keyword as often as possible to gain higher SEO rank will most likely be useless. 

To put their equation in simple terms, here is a simple example:

Blogger Update, Android App and New Search!

Have you noticed some problems regarding the template designer? A lot of people are having problems with their blogger accounts most specially when editing their templates. Yes it was reported and made known to Google already. Here is a report about it from their blog - Known Issues for Blogger. So to everyone, do not be afraid and just be patient. 

I too have experienced this for the past two days. I am trying to edit the template of my other blog - "My Omnia 2" when after the edits I've done - I was unable to save it. Read more and I'll tell you how to edit it even if you can't save your edits -that is if you still can't edit your templates.

Understanding Chitika

A few days ago, I've joined Chitika to have a feel and to check if I am going to earn more from them than Google's Adsense. Chitika and Adsense are currently battling over which is the better Affiliate Marketing for all publishers, of course adsense has a lot to offer but sometimes great opportunities come from small things.

One thing I have noticed about Chitika ads is that they are not using my topic as basis for its advertisement. Instead of using my sites current topic that the user is viewing, it is using the users previous searches which is I think is good since the user could have probably gone to my site accidentally. I tried to experiment and made a new search at Google and then went back to one of my articles, refresh the page and found my previous search offered on their widget – COOL!

Clixsense Team Phils Growing Stronger!

I just got two new referrals yesterday and got a bonus of $2.20 for both premium members that joined under me. Thanks to them I'll be withdrawing my first ever cashout at Clixsense. I can't tell you how exciting I feel once I saw my 2 new refs and once I've found out that I can have a new payment proof coming. I am planning to withdraw my money this end of the month since Clixsense pays via mass payout on or during the 5th of each month.

Is your Blog Readable?

I always value how my readers find my blog, be it negative or positive that is why whenever I post an article, I make sure it is well understood by my readers. So the question is, how readable is your blog? Do people understand your blog? If you write your articles with very complex words then people who will most likely subscribe to your blog would be adults and most probably highly educated (eg. online newspapers) but if you make it very simple and quite clear then you'll have a much more wider audience. 

My Adsense and Adwords Adventure!

I remember when I received my free $100 Adwords credit. Since then, I realized the value of terms SEO (Search Engine Optimization), PR (PageRank), backlinks, etc... It was a very thrilling experience for me and I have Google to thank for that. Excitement fill my day everytime I visit my Adsense. One time, I got depressed over a click which costed about $16 (just one lousy click!) - that was for using their automatic setting. It was a price you have to pay in order to learn this stuffs especially Affiliate Marketing with Google Adsense.

Yearning, Learning and Earning is the GOAL!

When crisis hits us, we find ways to overcome it and as much as possible if we can do it in the comforts of our home – we try it (atleast most of IT or unemployed mom does). I’ve been yearning to do that I think five years ago but I always end up scammed or rejected. Here are the list of the things I’ve tried:

Farewell SEO and PR Study Blog

I have decided to totally delete my other blog SEO and PR Study blog at wordpress. It's not because I have learned it already. I have learned a lot by studying about SEO and PR but the reason I am deleting it is because my time is almost spent in two of my other blogs which is this one and my Baul.

Found New Income Opportunities!

I remembered before I joined Neobux, I was hearing a lot of positive feedback about them and hearing how great they are but after being scammed a few times I never listened to what other people are saying until I decided it was time to join them. But that was just another mistake of my life since I've joined very late. I feel that almost all PTC clickers are already into Neobux and I was right so finding referrals is almost impossible.

Clixsense Team Philippines Grows!

After joining the Clixsense Team Philippines last year, the team just kept growing even while I wasn't active for awhile that is also because of the continued JOINT EFFORTS made by each member. I remember when I joined the team is composed of only 300 and now it is 754 -- all are PREMIUM members.

Making a Slideshow for a Blog Post

Okay, it seems that it takes a long time to get reviewed, I mean my application for an online job. By the way, I don't know what is happening with my blog's menu but I am going to fix it soon. I am sorry about that, thanks. So let us do some tipping for all of you folks out there for the mean time.

I Applied for a New Online Job!

A friend told me of a new online job. They are paying articles by categories of 250-words / 500-words. There are some articles that are worth 0.004/word and 0.005/word. Hope they approve of my application, since it is an extra income online for me. I've sent 2 (250 word) articles already with 2 phrase keywords.
