Journey to Earning Money Online

I just had some free time to read other blogs today and visited http://questforextramoney.blogspot.com which I should have done some days ago. I found he has activities and programs similar to mine and he's also passing the same road I have been. After reading the contents, a link on the sidebar caught my attention. It is the amount of how much his blog's worth. Curiousity, here he comes. Clicked on the link. Entered my own Blogger address, http://myonlinejourney.blogspot.com and guess what's the result? Take a look at this. I've done the test twice. Whatever coding has been done to arrive at the results below, it can serve as inspiration to some :) That's a quite large amount of dollars there. Any takers, bidders, comments, reactions? :D My blog is worth $77,341.98 . How much is your blog worth?

Online-Capital is one of the programs I joined before I became active as a blogger. A generous free $25 was given to all registered members. Caution though, if you do not know how these programs work, do not join. Or ask questions first and I hope I can be of help. Below is an update from the program. We would like to express our gratitude to all members who have submitted their opinions, comments and suggestions regarding the poll. Your opinion is very important to us since we have certain goals to accomplish and our main effort is to provide thousands of members with access to high return programs and your comments help us to determine demands of our investors more adequately. We have presented 4 vote options - Online Capital was seeking wisdom from the clients and our expectations were correct. Majority of the conservative members have submitted their votes to leave the present rules without changes. Openly speaking we were n

Do you want to know one of the top 3 programs I like today? You got it right. It is a program that pays me to blog, Blogitive . I started blogging for Blogitive on February 2007 and have earned $35. I could have earned more if I only followed directions, like you need to place the link and keyword as it is - no more, no less. I did learn my lessons so I am now very careful not to miss even a single character. Also, I can be choosy at the offers I accept :D A $35 is small compared to what others are currently earning through blogging. Again, it is not the amount. It is the experience of getting paid for an online opportunity that matters considering there are many nonpaying internet jobs out there. Why do I like Blogitive? I salute their support. Special mention is Brian Ratzker. He went an extra mile in order to deliver my on-time payments. Support emails are answered in less than 24 hours. Very accommodating yet professional. Although they have many bloggers, old and new likewise, I

The past 24 hours have been an exciting one. Two of the opportunities I had applied online contacted me. Both opportunities involve writing. Being contacted with positive attitude considering the many applicants is more than enough for me. Am I getting better as a writer? Well, just flattering myself :D Going back to the opportunities, the first one is a web content writing. Unfortunately, their requirements have changed to full time job which I can not fulfill as I already have a full time job that is far better than any other jobs near my place. I can say far better because if not, I would not be enjoying my time online :D The second income earner is writing a travel guide locally. What I like about this earning opportunity is that I get to familiarize myself about the assigned places during the research. The gained knowledge is the reward for writing that can not be replaced by monetary value. I'll be completing a single guide for 28 days with two initial assignments. This will

Higher traffic means higher probability of earning money from your site. Aside from joining forums and communities, directory submissions can also help generate traffic and one-way links. I've been doing some directory submission the past couple of days. In order to keep track of what directories have I used, I added a directory listing at http://myonlinejourney.blogspot.com/2007/01/directory-listings.html . Included is the date of submission. The list will serve as information if you want to submit your site to directories. These are free resources so use them to generate more traffic and more income from your site.

Today, I am happy with my accomplishment. There is no money involved but what I earned is a knowledge that others would pay for in order to accomplish. I have now a 3-column beta Blogger blog. Finally. After some tweaks, research and reading, widgets accidentally deleted, the 3 columns are displaying correctly. Aligned and well... I think much better than the original design. Check it out for yourself. :) This is the older design. This is the new design now.

I was doing some search engine submission when I came upon a Fortinet article stating that a malicious code appears on Blogger.com. Fortinet is founded in 2000 and is a pioneer and leading provider of multi-threat security systems. According to Fortinet, malicious scripts are embedded and have shown up on hundreds of Blogger blogs. A Stration mass mailer is said to be the one responsible for directing traffic to these blogs. It was also found out that a script redirects traffic to Pharmacy Express which is a phishing site to obtain sensitive information. Another script downloads a 1x1 pixel image to track the browser information, such as, IP address, browser type and version, etc. While the Pharmacy Express site is hosted in China, the 1x1 pixel image is hosted on a site registered in the United States. It was also discovered on March 5 that a blog of Honda CR450 enthusiast has an embedded malicious code infecting visitors with Wonka Trojan. The trojan is posted on a web site hosted

I just want to have a post on how far I have gone since I started blogging. I've been pumped with information and I have not fully utilized yet all that I have learned. It's a step at a time and I know there are still more things to learn. The past weeks have been spent to finding reliable income opportunities online and some of these opportunities are posted already. Most of the programs I've joined and tested are 'get paid to blog' opportunities. Most of these programs require a certain Google page rank, Alexa rating , and Technorati ranking . The current stats for Journey to Earning Money Online are the following: Google PR: 0 Alexa: 1,198,134 Technorati: 36,661 Will there be some improvements on these figures sometime soon? I hope so. :)

One of my domains at Registerfly had a Protectfly and I can not disable the protection from within the system of Registerfly. If I can not remove the Protectfly, I can not have an access to the Authorization Code. I can not proceed with the transfer to another registrar. I have been tinkering with my account this morning and found a way to do it. And this is what I did. 1. Create a NEW free Registerfly account. 2. On your OLD Registerfly account, proceed to your Account Control Panel. 3. Click on Change of Ownership on the right side of your Control Panel. 4. Proceed with the 'Internal Push to Other User' and click continue 5. Enter the username for your NEW Registerfly account on the space provided then confirm. 6. Check the corresponding boxes of the domains that will be pushed to your new account. Also, check the check box to change WHOIS info then continue 7. You will receive an email about the recent push transaction. 8. Check your new Registerfly account and change your c

Here's another Marketiva update. I woke up today with another SHORT order on pairs GBP/USD closed with a profit of 55 points. That totals my closed trades to 5. SHORT: GBP/USD Open: 1.9336 Closed: 1.9281 Profit/(Loss): + 55 If I can do this everyday then by the end of the March, the $20 commission I got will have gained much profit. Yeah I know, it's small compared to other traders' accounts. I can add more but while I am still studying, I'd rather trade in smaller quantity for now. I'll trade higher for my virtual account which has a higher fundings. :D You can trade live, too, with your small funds at Marketiva . :) Technorati tags: Marketiva , forex investing , forex , forex trading , live forex trading , investments , investment opportunity

Have we ever considered the benefits that a keylogger may do for the safety of our children, our home and our businesses? Well, keyloggers can also be beneficial not only to those who have made or installed the programs on our computer systems but also to us as individuals. Let’s take a look at how keyloggers can benefit us. Keyloggers are also known as surveillance softwares. Using keyloggers that we installed ourselves, we can monitor internet usage of our employees, the internet activities our children and other people in our home. With the safety of our business and children in mind, keyloggers can help us monitor their emails, record their chat activities and track the sites they visit. Some people even use keylogger software to monitor the activities of their partners. Keyloggers are even capable of taking snapshots of the webpages visited. They can provide complete and undetected surveillance of our computer networks. The effectivity of using surveillance software esp

How about spending your holidays including Christmas, spring and summer breaks in one of the Orlando hotels like the one in this picture? It is not only the hotels and vacation homes that make Orlando a favored place for getaways. Orlando has more to offer. Its 52 theme parks including Disney World attract large number of visitors every year. Beaches, resorts and top rated golf courses attract people from all walks of life to visit Orlando. It is also where the second largest convention in the world is found. Every visitor to Orlando will feel the family-friendly atmosphere of the place. Their orientation is partly influenced by the presence of Disney World. Aside from Disney World, there are other theme parks available in the area. Facilities are constantly upgraded to meet the growing number of visitors. This is also done to keep up with the competition with the other places offering such beautiful attractions in a family-friendly way. Technorati tags: Florida real estate , Orland

My blog's design is not going well but my Marketiva live trading is doing great. I was able to close 4 small trades today gaining points of 53, 20, 39 and 41. I have traded with GBP/USD pairs. With fluctuating values, I need to be careful when to enter and exit a trade. I just started trading live again after getting some trading commissions so I am extra conservative with my trades. I've learned that a smaller profit is better than waiting for a better profit before closing a trade. I set smaller targets to gain at a shorter time increasing my funds and giving me more leverage. Marketiva serves as a trading ground for me until now. Take note that it is free to join. With Marketiva , I can trade even with $1 only. If you join you can also get free $5 which you can use to trade live. Technorati tags: Marketiva , forex investing , forex , forex trading , live forex trading , investments , investment opportunity

I have some free hours today so I am going to make those long overdue changes to my blog's design . I'll try to finish it as soon as I can although I am not yet sure of what will be the final output. It is again another work in progress, tweaking and changing what needs to be changed. I already have something in mind but I am not yet sure if I can do it in one sitting. :D In case you drop by my blog today, do come back again and leave your comments. I will appreciate your inputs very much :)

It's a morning for domain transfers. From the twelve domains I registered at Registerfly, I decided to transfer seven to GoDaddy taking advantage of the transfer promo for Registerfly-registered domains. As for the remaining 5, that remains to be seen. I encountered minor problems with the 5 domains. The Protectfly is enabled yet my WHOIS info is the one being displayed when a WHOIS. I had to disable the Protectfly again. I am very sure I've already disabled the protection when the issue was just starting. I even placed password protection to some of the domains. Also, the WHOIS info is different from that of my Registerfly account. Bulk changes is not supported anymore so I have to manually and individually change all the data and disable the protection. I am just waiting for the transfer to be finalized in a couple of days. One of the domains though is still under process. Since the info was reverted back to the time before I made some changes, the server has to verify the co

Some offers in PayPerPost require specific tack ratings. The highest tack rating is 5 and lowest is 0. One of the offers to which I qualify requires a tack rating. So, I checked whether I did qualify. There, I found out I do have a tack rating of 5 and one vote. I don't usually look for compliments but in this business, a tack rating can mean additional income. Not to mention that it serves as a recognition for the efforts done on the offered projects. All first 3 posts approved and a tack rating of 5, I think I am beginning to truly love these programs. :D Technorati tags: tack rating , PayPerPost , PayPerPost vote

Most of us who registered their domains at Registerfly are aware of the issues surrounding the program. Being busy for the past three days, I temporarily forgot my domains and my move to transfer them. As I checked my account again today, I had a trouble signing-in. I've used the 'Lost Password' option but I did not receive any email verification. Knowing that I've changed my password just recently, I tried logging in using my old password. That was the finally the answer. Checking the list of my domains, I found that the WHOIS info security is enabled for all the domains when in fact I've already disabled it few days ago. I've also changed the WHOIS info to that of mine and this I can attest because DomainTools showed the info. Inside my Registerfly account, it is still displaying the old information. Registerfly people must have restored the database from a back-up made before I changed my account information. I've already changed the information pending

As I've posted several days ago, gold is again receiving some attention among the investment opportunities available. Because of the fluctuations in the stock market prices, investors are looking into the gold and precious metals investment. Business analysts have commented that the best time to invest in gold is now, more than ever. Gold has always been and will continue to be the one of the most traded metal. Its value as trading commodity has been proven since ancient times. Gold Expected to Dominate the Investment Horizon, Experts Advise Early Stock Purchases (Reno, NV – March 5, 2007) Traditionally, gold has had an inverse relationship with the stock market. When stocks go up, the price of gold usually falls; when stocks flounder, the price of gold usually skyrockets. Some experts believe it could mean a lot for investors in 2007, because gold is once again catching the eye of the investor. For General Metals Corporation , the news couldn’t come at a better time. “With our

I was browsing one of the busiest forum when it comes to high yield investment when I saw one program that pays member for completing offers - CashToDo . Since it is free to join and a $5 is being offered for free, there is no harm in joining :D I signed-up and found 2 offers immediately. According to the Admin, there are more offers for members who are from these countries: Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and United States. I belong to the "Other" countries and there are not much offer. I did the first offer since it's a very simple job. Payment is kind of small but well, for just an easy job, that may as well do.

Many of the computer gadgets today are connected to the USB port. My digital camera, memory card reader, mouse and printer are all connected to the USB port. Since I have not upgraded my computer unit yet, I have only the default 4 USB ports right now. Soon, I will be needing more or probably use a USB Adapter instead. Before shopping, it is always advantageous to research and check the internet for new releases. I might not be updated anymore but these USB adapters are the first I've seen. The image below is the GoldX USB Kit. It is a patented universal USB cable with a variety of different interchangeable connectors. A perfect solution for eliminating 6 different cables, it is a "12 in 1" digital camera cable.
