How To Avoid The Google Sandbox

by: Pete Moret

There still is a lot of discussion going on wether the Google Sandbox exists or not. Some say it exists, some say it doesn't. Just pretend it does exist, how is it possible that some SEO's don't get hit by the sandbox filter?

First of all, let me explain to you what the Google sandbox is. The sandbox filter is a filter that Google uses on keywords with high search volume and high competition. The whole mindset of the filter is that new website go in some sort of quarantine so they don't rank high in the search engine result pages of Google. This quarantine could take from several months to a year. This was originally introduced to block out spam websites. Before the sandbox filter was born, as a spammer you could make a website, spam Google with it, get banned, and instantly make another website and get your original ranking in Google back again. But with another domainname. And because Google isn't really fast in giving penalties and bans it takes a couple of months before the new domains get caught. This was easy money making in those days! But not anymore, because now the Google Sandbox filter will solve the problem!

But that doesn't mean we're really stuck to that filter. We are optimizing for search engines, and the sandbox is part of that, so there is a solution.

Only new domains trigger the sandbox filter. So a solution may be to buy an old domain name, or if you already have one, use an old domain name. But this is often really expensive and it doesn't always fit your needs. But there is a solution for that: DeletedDomains.com. On this website are domains that come available the same day. Just search the age of some of the domains with the Archive.org wayback machine, and if you find an old domain, you can buy it at a hosting company for as little as 15 bucks. You can also take a look in Google to see if the website on the domain is still indexed in Google, that fastens up the process a bit. It doesn't matter what domain you choose, the only thing you have to do is to 301 redirect the domain to your main domain. Then you have to hope your old domain get's indexed again so Google will know that the domain moved permanently to the new location. This will give you all the linklove of the old domain and you get the age of that domain. So you can easily build your website and gain high rankings without any sandbox restrictions.

There is another way that I used. I had bought a domain, but didn't use it at the time I bought it. I had plans for it but for the future. So I put a page on the domain, with a few backlinks to get it indexed, and a year later I started using the domain for real. But I could begin right away because the domain was already a year old!

This last one isn't really a way to avoid the sandbox but it happens a lot that you buy domains to use in the future. It isn't hard to get like 20 backlinks to it just to be out of the sandbox at the time you really want to start your website.

Check Your List Twice, For Spyware

by: Doug Woodall

This season, if you have receive a new computer or new software, check em for the gifts you might not know about. Many computers come with bundled software that includes Adware, Malware and even Spyware. You may not find it until you launch the software program. It may give you a message that says it needs to connect to a site to complete the registration. Make sure you read the entire license agreement.

I know of many stories about how a user had to do a complete restore on their new computer just days after getting it. These stories involve the user spending hours on the phone with customer support trying to resolve the problem. In previous years, Dells customer support has been swamped after the holidays with calls from new users asking for help. Before you get online with the new computer, insure the AntiVirus and Firewall is functioning. The computer will probably prompt you that it needs to get updates. Check what the update is before agreeing to the install. Make sure you get the MS updates needed too.

If after all this, you still don't know which updates or installs to agree to, there are help sites that provide assistance.

Check the products site first, they may have customer support or even a Forum.

Visit Spyware Warrior for a list of rogue/suspect Anti-Spyware products and web sites.

http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

Test your Firewall at Hacker Watch to make sure you're able to block attacks.

http://www.hackerwatch.org/probe/

If you're unsure of a process thats running, check it at UniBlues process library.

http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/

These are just a few of the help sites out there, there are many excellent sites that can help you.

If after all the searching, you still need help, I recommend the Major Geeks Help Forum.

http://forums.majorgeeks.com/

It will involve you registering and downloading the Hijack This program, running it and then uploading the log results to the Malware Forum there. They are good people there and will help you get your computer happy.

Think you've got it covered? Do the “How safe are you” quiz at Stay Safe Online.

http://staysafeonline.org/basics/quiz.html

Also a point to ponder. If you're giving instead of receiving, make sure what you give is safe and reliable.

Don't forget to create a restore point and maintain backups of important data is my last bit of advice.

So after the gift giving, after the clean up, after the nap on the couch, check your computer to insure your online safety.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Guide to Web Hosting

Recently I have been trying to find a web host for my blog. I want to have a good web hosting because free services such as Blogger or Wordpress have their limitations. I want to be able to manage everything like querying the number of hits for each page and the most viewed page. These are really hard to accomplish with the free hosting, but if you have your own web hosting then it is really simple as I have good knowledge in SQL and MySQL. I have looked everywhere but couldn't find what I want.

After searching for a while I found this good site which gives you a guide to web hosting. It is a blog of Kaushal Shet. In one of his posts he gives a number of suggestions to where you should host your blog or website. He give these options after he experienced a black out with his earlier host causing all of his sites to be unreachable. Although this is something that happens out of your hand, a good host should always have at least one backup server. So if there is anything wrong with the main server they could always switch to one of the backups. After doing his research by browsing each of the top 10 web hosts, read reviews, compare the services provided and talking to his friends he gives this list: Host Monster, Host Gator and Yahoo Host.

If you really want to find a good review about web hosting, then this site will save your time. Stop wasting another minute to read all hosts reviews, just go to this site and you will have your answer. Don't hesitate because all the suggestions given there are based on facts and experiences from other people who have been using those hosts.

Pay Per Click Jobs

Your Checklist To Finding The Right Job For You
by: Derek Rogers

When it comes to making a living online, the chances have never been brighter! You already see that there are plenty of people who are seeing a great deal of success when it comes to making money online, but what might not be immediately apparent is how you can join them. Search engine marketing, particularly through pay per click services, is becoming quite popular when it comes to earning a living from the comfort of your own home, but remember, you need to be critical of the opportunities that you will find. Take a look below for some tips that will steer you towards the right opportunity, and don't go forward until you can tick every single one off of your list.

Find out how much time you can devote to this opportunity.

The best opportunity for you will be one that will fit into the time that you have slotted for it. It doesn't matter how great an opportunity is if you are constantly trying to get more work, or it constantly expects more from you than you can give.

Think about the salary.

What are your current needs? Do you have a job that you are looking to get rid of, but does it currently pay the bills? Are you unemployed and need a situation fast? There is often a time period when search engine marketing opportunities and pay per click services will need to wait before they pay you. Ask how long it will be before you receive your first pay check and how much they think it will be.

Do you have the capabilities to do the job?

Think about your internet set up at home. Do you have a reliable connection and can you clock time on your own on the computer? Too many people need to fight for a turn to use the computer, and this can be quite detrimental to your plans. Take some time to really sort through your resources and what they will be for the foreseeable future. Think about any disruptions (visits, vacations, the busy time at your other job) and make sure you take them into consideration.

Do your research!

What do you know about the company that is hiring you? Do they have a good reputation online and what do people who have worked for them in the past say? Take some time to find out what people are saying in reviews and on forums about your new company. How much did the other people make, and were they paid in a regular and timely fashion? There are many points to consider when you are starting a new job, and you want to make sure that your newest opportunity is a good one.

By keeping to a checklist, you can make sure that you have criteria for judging the opportunities that you come across. This is a good rubric to use when you are choosing between pay per click opportunities because it gives you a place to start from. Take some time and make sure that this opportunity is the one that helps you succeed!

SEO Training

How to Get the Most Out of It
by: Tracy Fredrychowski

You’ve just invested valuable time and money by completing your hands-on SEO Training. You are now sitting back in your office contemplating all the wonderful information you just gathered, but you’re really confused on where to start. You pick up your notes leafing through them hoping something will inspire you to know what to do next. You start to drift back to class wishing you where still there. You hated to leave, you didn’t want it to end, you silently wish your instructor was there telling you where to begin.

Good news! I am going to share with you a detailed search engine optimization and internet marketing plan to get the most out of your seo training and to get you started today.

Step #1 – Setting Goals

Before you can really get started you have to know what you want to achieve with your Web site. There could be a number of goals that you have in mind but your first step is get a clear picture of what you want the outcome to be. It could be:

• To gain higher rankings.
• To redesign your Web site to be more user friendly.
• To implement SEO basics throughout your site to make it search engine friendly.
• To increase your visitor response online.
• To open additional windows to your site through social media marketing.
• To launch an article marketing plan.
• Or all of the above.

What ever your goal is it is important to write it down and post it where you can see it every day. “Goals that are not written down are just wishes.”

Step #2 – Keyword Research

Any new project should always include this step. Keyword research is the basis for any successful page on your site. Let’s take the goals above and see how the keyword research you learned to perform in your seo training can be used.

• Higher rankings can be achieved by finding those keywords in your industry that have a high KEI (Keyword Effectiveness Index) and low competing pages. You should concentrate on finding five phrases that you can work on simultaneously.

• By redesigning your Web site you can be including your new found phrases and work them into your sales copy. If you are creating a new site this is the ideal time to make sure you are concentrating on your visitors experience while on your site.

o Include a call to action above the fold
o Contact information above the fold in straight html including area code and zip code.
o Only use Flash in small elements and not as the whole page.
o Include something that will grab your user’s attention. Something out of the normal that will make your visitor stop and take notice of your page.

• Implementing SEO basics can be a daunting task if your site is large or it is many years old. Tactics that where used years ago are no longer useful and most times are being flagged as spam. Depending on how many elements need to be addressed you need to determine if it would be better to start with a fresh page or redo the existing page. A determining factor would be if the current page is already indexed. If this is the case then it would be best to fix the existing page. If the page has too many errors and creating a new one would be wiser be sure to name the new page the same as the old one or do a 301 redirect to the new page. Include your keyword phrase when implementing your basic search engine optimization.

• Visitor response will increase if you are giving your visitors exactly what they are looking for. Only your keyword research will help you with this. We are in an instant gratification world and your visitor will only give you a few seconds to answer their search, so make sure it exactly what they are looking for.

• Open additional windows into your site by using your keyword phrases in your social media avenues. A couple great places to include your keyword researched phrases would be in your blog post and creating a lens in Squidoo around your researched phrase.

• Article marketing is not for everyone but it does allow you to open multiple windows into your site but writing articles around your phrase and submitting them to places like Scribd, ArtcileFactory.com and EzineArticles.com.

Step - # 3 – Which one to choose?

I know you want to implement each and everyone of those goals into your site and you still don’t know where to start.

Stop here and go find five phrases to work with and don’t even think about anything else at this point.

After you find those phrases refer back to your SEO training notes and refresh your memory on how to create a search engine friendly Web page and create content for each of the new keywords you found.

It is going to be hard not to get side tracked but stick to the project at hand. Your only concern is finding 5 phrases, creating content and designing five search engine friendly pages.

Once that is done go ahead and publish the five pages to your Web site. Include each page on your site map, link it from and to relevant pages on your site and include keyword rich link text within the body of the page.

Make a note of the day you added the new pages to your site for later use.

Now that you have the first three steps under your belt you are ready to move onto step four.

Step #4 – Addressing Existing Web Site Issues

Now that you have gotten a good start with the above steps, you can start working on bringing your current Web site up to par while you are actually waiting for indexing on your 5 optimized pages. Your next plan of attack would be working on existing pages within your site. You may not be able to change every issue with your site but remember every small change could result in increased ranking for your site. You may only be able to change your title and Meta tags and not be able to change your corporate sites navigation so tackle what you can and don’t worry about the rest. Each and every issue is just one of the over 200 factors so learn to pick your battles and fix what you can.

Step #5 – Social Media and Article Marketing

Your whole goal is to open as many windows into your site as possible. You have already started this by creating 5 new pages into your site now it is time to open the windows even further. Whether you decide to use article marketing or all the endless possibility of social media marketing now is the time to concentrate on one or both of these window opening wonders.

You can use the five phrases you found in your first step or you can find 5 new ones but at this stage you are creating content to be used in articles, on blogs or bookmaking pages within the many social media avenues. Your title is the most important element when tackling this step. Make your title keyword rich, compelling and deliver what your title describes in the article or blog post.

If you are not quite ready to dive into social media start at least with adding a blog to your Web site. Your best results will come from the blog residing on your server and not one that is hosted on a free blogging site. Make a commitment to blogging regularly and always about your industry so your site and your blog are industry related.

Step #6 – Tracking Your Progress

Web analytics can show you information about all of your optimization projects. Not only will it show you your results for the 5 keyword phrases you are working on but it will open your eyes to how your visitor is moving through your site. Record your results on a weekly or daily basis. This step will help you in testing each one of your projects and help you decide which one you should concentrate more on. Usually I find 2 or 3 phrases that are really performing and those are the ones I concentrate on blogging and adding it to the social media venues.

Step #7 – Keep Up With the Changes

There is no other step as important as this one. The internet changes its landscape on a daily basis so it is imperative that what you learn in your SEO Training is always the latest information. Your Web site and or clients are depending on your expertise so don’t let them down by applying out of date or useless techniques. There are many places you can turn to for guidance.

The first place would be Google, Yahoo! and MSN’s Webmasters guidelines. Each is posted on their site and is updates each and every time they have made changes to them.

Another place would be to subscribe to one of many search engine optimization and marketing blogs created by industry leaders. Your instructor should be able to point you in the right direction to their most trusted resources.

Continue learning by attending your favorite SEO Training provider’s courses on a yearly basis. Principles and techniques change often so always keep on top them.

Often students are overwhelmed with the amount of information they are given at class but if you learn to take them in small steps starting with setting your goals you will find that your seo training is working for you and your Web site.

Content That Search Engines Will Like

by: Chris Malta

Improved search positioning means greater exposure to targeted traffic, but few E-Biz owners really understand how to run an effective search engine optimization (SEO) campaign. According to Andy Jenkins, founder of online business forum http://StomperNet.com, “Your web site ranking is determined, in large part, by the quality of your content – it must be both compelling to your visitors and consumable to the search engine spiders.”

A Matter of Substance

Jenkins reveals two key practices that can help you cooperate with the search engines and give them the kind of useful information they’re after:

Avoid Duplicate Content

When pages living on separate domains are extremely similar, the engines will classify them as “duplicate content” and rank them very poorly. One page will go in their normal index; the other will be relegated to their supplemental index, where none its value is manifested. This often poses a problem for eCommerce stores selling numerous similar items.

Every page of your web site probably has some design elements that are the same, like your navigation bar, header and footer, and any special messages, like “In Stock” or “Money Back Guarantee”. To keep from ending up in the supplemental index, you should strive to have at least more original content in your product descriptions than exists in the permanent template layout of your pages. In other words, if you have two hundred fifty words of repeating content on each page, you should also have at least two hundred fifty-one words per page of new and different content.

If writing interesting, witty descriptions of your products seems difficult, it may help to try manifesting your copy in some form of ownership. For instance, if you’re selling a box of tortellini, talk about how simple it is to cook, how good it tastes with pesto sauce, how wonderful it is to enjoy with your family around the dinner table. You’re simultaneously engaging your customers, sharing the benefits of using your product, and avoiding the mire of the supplemental index.

Implement Latent Semantic Indexing

Search engine algorithms have grown increasingly complex over time. Optimizing your copy is no longer a matter of stuffing it with keywords: “This pasta site is the best pasta site for the pasta lover’s pasta needs.” Now, in fact, repeating a keyword or phrase too often will raise red flags, and may even cause your site to drop in the rankings.

The engines have learned to recognize the relationships between many words. So to rank well for a keyword, you need to talk about things that relate to it, also know as “latent semantic indexing”. For example, if you’re trying to rank for the keyword “pasta”, you might talk about carbs, marinara sauce, fusilli, linguini, and so forth. It’s okay to sprinkle “pasta” throughout your copy, but concentrate on using latently related words. You’re generating copy that’s interesting to the users reading it, and palatable to the engines ranking it.

(Tip: To discover keywords latently related to your keywords, perform a Google search with a tilde in front of the keyword – like “~pasta”. You’ll bring back results containing latently related words: noodles, recipes, Italian, etc.)

While the search engines regularly revise their algorithms, the basic principles of SEO remain the same. You don’t need to play games or try to trick the engines to show up in their results. Advises Jenkins, “The engines want to give users the information they’re seeking. So if you create a user-friendly site with good, valuable content, you’re going to do well – period.”

Horse Execiser

Are you an animal lover? If you are then what kind of animal do you have? Some people would love to have pets such as dogs or cats, but other also loves expensive animals such as horses. Why do horses cost a lot? A good breed horse is really hard to find. If you have one then you are very lucky because it could worth a fortune, especially if your horse is a horse race. To make them stay healthy you need to have a good horse exerciser.

Now where would you find a good horse exerciser on the internet? EuroXciser is your answer. EuroXciser was founded by Yves Lefay who on 1976 was a professional Show Jumper trainer.

EuroXciser provides a number of horse exercisers namely Derby model, Derby "E" and Derby "C" model.

So using these models from EuroXciser will not just exercise your horses in a more intelligent and productive way but will also save you more money. That is why if you need horse exerciser be sure to get it from EuroXciser.

Increase Your Blog's Traffic

How to increase your blog's traffic? This question probably is the most question asked by bloggers including myself. It is really tricky to increase your blog traffic. The traditional way is to visit as many blogs as you can and leave comments on each blog. You comments must be related to the topic of the post. In those comments try to leave as many links to your blog or blog post. But once again make your links as natural as it can be, because the owner of the blog might think that your comments are spam.

Visiting many blogs can be very time consuming and the results depend entirely on the personality of the blog's owner that you're visiting. If the owner has a good sense of friendship, he will visit your blog in return. If you offer a link exchange, he will also add your link to his/her blog. Just pray that you've found a nice person, if not then just delete his/her link in your blog.

Now there are other ways to increase your traffic. First, you can but text link ads to promote your blog. This option is also a good way to attract traffic. Just make sure that you put your ads in a blog where there are many readers. Also try to make your ads interesting. Write something that will caught someone's eyes immediately. Second, you can participate in traffic exchange such as BlogExplosion, BlogMad or BlogSoldiers. I read about this traffic exchange from my friend's blog, AroengBinang. These traffic exchange oblige you to surf other people's blogs and in return your blog will also be viewed by other members of the traffic exchange. It is really simple, just spend an hour or two to visit as many blogs as you can. This way you will have a continuous page views. Third, join blog community such as Community Kompas. Fourth, try applying Search Engine Optimization. To be honest this is something that I dare not to discuss as I don't have any experiences in it. But if you want to know more, visit my friend's site CosaAranda.com.

Bloggerwave Payment

Another proof of paid review has arrived. Bloggerwave has just sent my payment to PayPal. I did not mention anything about Bloggerwave on my earlier post (Blogger for hire I, II and III), but I joined the site the same time as I joined Smorty and Blogsvertise. When I wrote blogger for hire I, II and III, I have not had any review offer from Bloggerwave. Since then I had only one review offer which I wrote here, here and here. Two of them have been approved. Now the first payment of the two has arrived. This is the screenshot of the payment details on PayPal.


This once again supports my beliefs that paid review is a good way to make money online. Unlike any other ways to make money such as Google Adsense or paid emails, this is the quickest and most awarding in my opinion. All you have to maintain is the traffic to your blog and of course your page rank. Just remember to balance the number of paid review written on your blog and your ordinary posts.

ShopWiki

2. Use blacklist services like SBL (http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl) or the RBL (http://www.mailabuse.org/rbl) that maintain lists of IP addresses that are know originators of spammers. Blacklist services are efficient in blocking spam as they use the latest methods in preventing spam.
3. Use the spam guard services offered by email services like gmail and yahoo.
4. White list services where only mail from known addresses are approved by the recipient.
5. Use heuristic engines that look for keyword patterns that match know spam rules and block messages that contain known patterns. Well known heuristic engines include SpamAssassin that has a high detection rate.
6. Networked vigilance an open source initiative that involves continued maintenance of a data base and then the mail server asks a centralized VR node, Vipul’s razor for spam listings.
7. Using Bayesian filtering engines like SpamBayes , http://www.spambayes.org/. This has its uses as well as downside.
   

Spam can also be blocked by configuring anti-virus software to scan emails for viruses. Desist from leaving your email address over the internet and signing up for freebies and news letters. Use a separate email account for this purpose. Stay abreast of anti-spam efforts and adopt the latest possible anti-virus software and firewall systems. Never open mails from people unknown to you and immediately report spam mails to the mail host/provider. Try standalone spam filtering software like Qurb eTrust Anti-Spam, iHate Spam, Spam Bully.

Experts at PC World reported that almost 75 percent of email is spam mail and that in their study they found that SpamCatcher was one of the most affordable and simplest of anti-spam tools. Another notable product was InBoxer which works only with Out Look.

Fighting spam is a world wide war and efforts are being made by software manufacturers, search engines, lay persons, as well as others.

Withdraw Money from PayPal

Hurray, after waiting for some time (three days to be exact), my first withdraw from PayPal is a successful one. From now on I will not have any doubt on PayPal, I will continue to use it as my online payment or to receive money online. I have already proved it, what about you?

This is my account activity on the 3rd of March 2008. You can see that I have withdrawn $200 into Indonesian Rupiah. For exchanging the currency from USD to IDR, PayPal did not charge me, so I guest this is another plus for PayPal.

This is my bank account. You can see that on the 6th of March 2008 there was a payment of exactly the same amount that PayPal sent me. So it only took three days for the payment from the time it was processed by PayPal to reach my bank account. The site officially states that it could take 5-10 days of work days for the process to be completed. But I know now that it took less than that. So come on guys look no further PayPal is the best online payment for you to use.

Making A Good Review - Part II

In the earlier part of the tutorial we have discussed how to make an opening paragraph. Now in this post we are going to discuss how to make a main paragraph. As we talked about earlier a good review consist of three paragraphs. First is the opening, then the main paragraph and the last is the conclusion.

The main paragraph is the most important part of your tutorial. This is what your review is all about. First thing that you have to do is read through all contents of the site. Find anything that interests you or mark the positive and negative that you find. To continue our last example about vacuum cleaners we are now going to make the main paragraph. Suppose the site you’re reviewing is selling vacuum cleaners. The opening paragraph is to make sure that the readers know the benefit of using a vacuum cleaner instead of the traditional tools like broom. You could start with the type of vacuum that is sold on the site. If the site also provides a search tool, you can also describe how to use it or what kind of search that you can do, for example: searching by keywords, type, price range, or the model of the vacuum. You need to explain what descriptions are given for each search you find. Commerce site often gives special prices or offers. This is also a good topic to write on your review. Payment method is also very important as the readers who want to buy need to know how they can make payment. If the site accepts credit cards, what type of credit card do they accept? Some commerce sites accept online payment such as Paypal. You must ensure that these things are there on your review. So your review would be a review and almost surely be accepted by the advertiser.

The last paragraph is the conclusion. You need to write at least one conclusion. If you find the site that you’re reviewing is a really good site, then your last sentence could be: “if you ever have the need to buy a vacuum cleaner, this site is the best for you to look because ….” Advertisers most likely want a positive review, but some also like your true opinion. In this case if you think that the site is nothing different than the others, you must say so. In the end the review you’re going to write really depends on the task that was given to you.

Champions League Results

Milan Knocked Out by Arsenal

In an almost one sided game, the defending Champions AC Milan has to bow down to their opponent Arsenal in the return leg of Champions League last sixteen. This result means that Milan could end this season without a trophy as they already out of the Coppa Italia and is behind Inter Milan with more than 20 points in the Serie A. Currently they are 5th in the league, which means one position behind the last team to qualify for Champions League next season.

Milan started the game very well, with chances from Pato and Pippo Inzaghi. Maldini also had his header cleared off the line by Fabregas. But on the half our mark, Arsenal began to dictate the game. Kalac had to save a thunderous shoot from Adebayor. A while later Fabregas hit the woodwork from just outside of the penalty area. Approaching half time, Arsenal still played their passing game while Milan sit back and tried to counter attack using long ball.

Milan tried to control the game in the second half only to find themselves forced to defend. Both Senderos and Eboue had chances but they missed. Pirlo then tested Almunia from a free-kick. Milan found it hard to break down Arsenal's midfield, these really frustrate them and was showed by Kaka who received a yellow card after throwing the ball to the ground. On a quick break from the midfield Fabregas launched a long shot which ended in the back of the net. Arsenal then had an away goal advantage thus Milan had to come out and really need the equalizer. By doing so they left their defense open. Walcott exploited Milan's lack of concentration. He was left open the right side and then he sent a low cross which was met by Adebayor to make it 2-0 for Arsenal. By then Milan's faith was sealed, they were really punished for their lack of stamina. This is understandable looking at their tight schedules which force them to play every three days.

Milan's elimination leave the competition wide open. So this year we will have a new champions. Last time a team win this competition back to back is Milan who won it in 1989 and 1990, since then there is no other team who can be champions two times in a row.

Making A Good Review - Part I

At first I'm a little bit shy to write this tutorial as I have only been writing reviews for several months now. During those months I have joined many advertising sites such as ReviewMe, Smorty, Blogsvertise and many more. But from many sites that I joined those three are the sites which generate most of my revenue. But recently I have also managed to write review offers from Bloggerwave.

Now let us turn ourselves to the topic here. How to write a good review? Good review means that it is not only acceptable and meets the standards given by the advertisers but also provides useful information for your readers. It is useless to just write about something that no one will understand. You need to use good words and sentences that make up a good paragraph. It is the same as the basic writing rules. You need to have a solid idea and then build your writing around that. Usually the advertisers want you to write a minimum of 200 words, thus you can divide this to three paragraphs. The first paragraph is the introduction, the second is the main and most important paragraph, the last is for conclusion and anything you want to add up.

You can begin the first paragraph by making statements that will support the reviewed product or site. For example, if you are told to write about vacuum cleaners, you can start by explaining what is the use of it and why is it important. So your first line could be something like this: "Keeping your home clean is a very hard thing to do if you are cleaning it by traditional tools such as a broom". This sentence contradict the traditional tools for cleaning, in this case represented by broom, and the advance tools that you are going to review, the vacuum cleaner. By now, the reader should have a slight idea with what you're trying to tell them. The second line of your paragraph will say: "This trouble can be overcome with the help of a vacuum cleaner". The reader will then think and may agree with you that a vacuum cleaner is a better tool to use in cleaning up a messy and dirty house. You can then build a good introduction paragraph about vacuum cleaner. The introduction is usually the most important and difficult part to write. But once you have a solid introduction the rest is really simple.

To be continued ...

Waiting For Payment

A month has passed, I am still waiting for my first payment from Blogsvertise. If you don't have the slightest idea what Blogsvertise is then you should read my other posts: Blogger for hire part I, II and III.

During last month I have written some reviews, well around 14 reviews I guess. Unlike Smorty who pays weekly, according to the site, Blogsvertise will pay you 30 days after your review has been approved. Now, if you at the picture below which shows all the reviews I have written, my first payment will come around the second weed of March.


The first task given to me was on 6th of February. Now I usually write the review 3-4 days after the task was given. So we add it up by 4 days to the date to get 10th of February. This was when the completed review submitted. To get approved you will then need 3-4 days again. Adding 10th of February by 4 days yield 14th of February. This is the date when the task was approved. So if Blogsvertise pays you 30 days after the task was approved, it means I will get my first payment around 14th of March or the second week of March. It is worth the wait, because I will get around $130 richer by the time I get all the payment. Let us just pray that my payment will arrive soon. I will post on this blog if the payment has arrived. Till then keep on blogging!
