Journey to Earning Money Online

Myonlinejourney - Pagerank Penalty Since myonlinejourney got Google pagerank penalty, from pagerank #3 to pagerank #0, I have not given much attention to its pageranking. There were other probloggers who experienced a pagerank downgrade. It was assumed to be due to the activities we were doing as paid bloggers. That was about 2 to 3 years ago. I have already started and partially abandoned other blogs as I decided to pursue graduate studies. To cut the story short, I finished my graduate degree but I miss the thrill of earning money online. So, I started checking my materials, domains, payment processors, emails and passwords. I am re-learning the ins and outs of working on online jobs. And started checking the status of my websites. Myonlinejourney - Pagerank #2 Wow! I do not know when it got ranked again by Google but today, this blog is PR #2. Am I elated? Of course, very much :) Why? You should check my archives. Without much update, it still got a PR #2. Should I say, Mr. G foun...

I have been really busy lately for personal reasons but I have not forgotten that I have my online blogs that in one point in time have been a source of income for me. In fact, what keeps me busy these days is just a part of my future plan in having a more profitable online business. I want to offer products that can be used by ordinary internet users and even webmasters. That is a future plan anyway. Back to the present, even with my busy schedule, I want to continue earning online so I am visiting some of my different affiliate programs if they are still alive. You must already know that affiliate programs are money earners in the internet. One of the programs I checked is 000webhost. For those who are not yet aware of 000webhost, they offer free webhosting without any ads. You can develop a professional website without those annoying ads. They also offer an affiliate program that pays $5 per sign-up. Googling '000webhost affiliate program' without even adding the word '...

Well, this post is only to affirm what others may have already found out. I am quite a bit late again, as usual, as I was busy organizing my files for a new project I have in mind. I was about to rest for the day when I received the ezine from Easy Wordpress with the heading " Will PPP Bloggers Receive the Next Google Slap? ". What is this all about?!? Being a Payperpost blogger, it naturally caught my attention. Another PR update? Didn't Google updated the PR first week of November? I just checked my PR before the weekend and it was still in PR2. After reading the whole article and the comments at Easy Wordpress, I went to check my PR and it is now a PR0. Luckily, I have not used my other blogs for any paid blogging jobs (As if I have enough time to maintain other blogs... lol) There are questions out there, PPP, paid blogging or Google PR? For sure, votes are divided again. PR and rate for paid blogs are directly proportional somehow. No PR, lower payout for paid blogs...

This is a hot topic few days ago but since I have not been actively working on my sites before the update, I did not expect any improvements on any of my sites' pageranks. I did not even bother to check until a few minutes ago. If other website owners are asking questions why their PRs have been downgraded, I am just too happy to say that Journey to Earning Money Online , previously a PR1 blog, is now a PR2 blog. My other blog, LoadXtreme Mobile and Prepaid Loading Station has also been upgraded to PR2 from PR0. Surprise!!! I still do not understand the theory on how Google ranks websites but who does anyway? There are lots of speculations on why some high ranking websites got downgraded but nobody has proven yet. Besides, Google continously changes its algorithm so there are always surprises under the hat. So, how about you? Got upgraded or downgraded?

Have you tried working on the link popularity of your website? Website owners know that the link popularity of their sites will affect the way Google ranks a specific site. Some take advantage of free ads forums, exchanging links with other sites of the same interest and directory submissions. But Google does not only look at the link itself but on the overall content of the page to which the link is placed. The most popular and most exploited today is getting one-way links through blogs. With blogs, the contents are updated regularly. Owning several blogs and updating them regularly would be time consuming. So, some bloggers or network of bloggers offer their services for a minimal fee. These are both beneficial to bloggers and website owners. The bloggers get paid for blogging about websites or products while website owners get quality links for their sites. How Google and other search engines determine the link popularity of a website is very complicated but building quality lin...

My Google AdSense is finally approved. As usual, I am doing some tweaks here and tweaks there, trying to incorporate it on my blogs. Read tips here and there. I looking for a way to display image ads just below my header but I am already sleepy. I might as well continue this tomorrow :) Just a short overview, I will be using Google AdSense on this blog. Why should I use Google AdSense? It is because of the many reviews I've read about the program. I hope I can also make money using Google AdSense :D I'll just be maximizing the revenue generating income for my blog.
