After 4 Days of Blogging, My Blog is Already a Spam Victim!

Honest! How did i found out? after a day of link-exchanging i'm checking my Technorati, on who already linked to me and suprisingly i noticed this particular blog [make-money-online.stackeo.com] already linked to me 4 times, because i'm so happy i go to that blog and found out :( that it's just a Scraper site, that literally scraping your content via feeds, actually i dont even have a Feedburner account.

How did that grungy blog find my cute blog? dunno how! Here's a screenshots from Technorati. For others this maybe not a big deal, but for me it is.

My Blog is Already a Spam Victim!

My Blog is Already a Spam Victim!

Goodthing, that trashy blog linked to me. By the way i posted that i joined Clickbooth yesterday and my blog was approved today but i don't know how to start Haha! i'm too lazy (& busy) to read their FAQ today, maybe tommorow i'll start.

(by the way i found out from Jehz that it's enough to have linked 10 times per day, more than that it's considered spamming by Google. )

Chao!

I Signed Up For ClickBooth!

Yes, today i signed up for ClickBooth, i heard many positive reviews about them so that pushed me to join also, the signing up was fun too!

There is a phone verification feature that after you put your mobile number in the 'phone' field they will call you (actually it's automated) instantly, and after you pick -up your phone they will state a 4 digits pin code that you have to enter before you can submit your application form, and that's it my account was verified!

And now, i'm just waiting that my site will be verified, they say verification period is up to 72 hours, so there.

I hope i will be successful in Clickbooth, (like many bloggers), This is the 2nd money maker program i tried aside from Google Adsense.

You have you experienced Clickbooth? any reactions?

UPDATE: my blog is verified! and there's already 8 comment on this post, that saying clickbooth is good, the others saying clickbooth is a scam, and that is keeping me to not to try clickbooth for now, i just wait for future development, currently i'm testing Project Wonderful i hope i can earn money from it like Adsense.

My First Online Expenditure

This is the breakdown of what i spend online
using my Paypal:

I purchase this domain at Godaddy and host it in Blogger.com,
so i pay only for the domain and template not the hosting.

Breakdown:

1. dot-com registration $7.19
2. business registration $4.99
3. private registration services $4.00
4. custom template $10.00

Total: $26.14

Actually the


actual price of a .com domain at godaddy is $9.99, and there is a "promo code" option there that you have to enter a code so that you'll get a 10% discount, before i finish my check-out i googled for the word "godaddy promo code" and lucky me because the code i found really works! (anyway that only less than a couple of dollar discount)

The 2 & 3 (business registration & private registration services) i choosed this option without really knowing what is it all about, actually the two are bundled for $9.99. (same price as .com domain) I only found out the use of it when i finished paying it .

As the name imply (business registration & private registration services) it will protect your domain from spammers who would try to peek on your personal infos.

In Blogger.com they have a 'custom domain' option but unluckily there's no Paypal option, which is the only 1 i had.

I also paid for custom template made for me by friend for $10, actually it's not really a payment (she's not asking for it) but i'm too shy to just approached her again and again and ask for another template so i offer that i would pay her. I think this template cost is more than that. She made this template few hours after i e-mailed her. Fast huh?!

Total: $26.14 , i think this is the last time i would spend online.

Chao!

Get Free Traffic!

There are a lot of various ways for getting free traffic to your site. You won't be able to make a profit off your site if you can't get people to visit it. These free web traffic techniques, however, will allow you to avoid the risk of wasting money and still be able to get visitors on your site. You must keep in mind, though, that free web traffic techniques develop slower than other methods. You won't be able to see instant results, but you can enjoy the effects of


your work as time goes by. Anyway, you will also see your earnings grow from the effects of free website traffic.

The first technique is using online forums. Forums that have related interests to your own site should be your priority. When you join a forum, remember to attach your site's URL to your signature, and do try to post interest and informative discussions to attract more people. Establishing yourself as an authority in your field will enhance your status among the members. Another advantage of using forums is that you can have a good indication about what groups of people would be great for targeting as your potential customers. This allows you to develop your site's content based on their interests.

One of the best and fastest growing techniques for getting free traffic is the newsletter. If you want to inform your subscribers about what new products or services are being offered on your site, a newsletter is the way to go. Articles and other useful content can be included in your newsletter as well. If done effectively, people will start to see you and your site as one of the more reliable sources of online information for their interests. People will then be encouraged to share your content and your site with others. And because of its personal touch, a newsletter is considered by many webmasters as one of the better ways for getting free traffic.

Another good way to get free traffic is using link exchanges. Try to make a deal with another website owner with whom you share similar interests. You will then have your site's link posted on the other site in return for putting his link on yours. Not only will this method help to drive more traffic to your site, but it will also improve your site's search engine rankings as well, due to the links from other related websites.

Another good method that must not be overlooked is writing articles. You can submit your articles on several directories on the Internet. When you write articles that focus on the topics you're interested in, you'll acquire a reputation as an expert in your field, and people will start to look for more articles from you. For this reason, always remember to attach a link to your website at the end of your articles.

The last free method I'm going to talk about concerns your own site. To be more specific, I'm talking about the content that you have in it. Quality content is very important and even crucial in making your site successful and profitable. Keep in mind what kind of keywords people are using to find websites like yours, and create your content based around that information. It's always a good idea to improve your rankings with the search engines, since this will give more exposure to your site and people will be able to find it more easily.
