HavinG a Domain WEBASITA {dot} COM | .com

Its a straight way to money heaven people . If you own your own website that supports php and other gizmo's your on for a really good run not only you get loads of traffic pouring down on your from search engines but you also get accepted in many affiliate programs . Well this is the reason i am writing up this post.

I was browsing a few affiliate sites well most of them don't require you to have a .com domain you can just party all you want with the one you have already . But there comes a point when your the coyote ugly standing on the verge of blogs who have their own domain name and those who don't well honestly there are a billions of websites and i know you guys are just too darn wretched scared to buy up a domain . As for me i want to but the fund in my pocket says and displays a different story sure i want a domain of my own . But yeah it comes at a price . I do indeed have it in cash but when it comes to online transaction ..... well truth is i am broke what do you expect from a college student the most i could earn is 10$ or 20 $ but i think its high time i had my own domain name and a website . There are a billions of available name just waiting for you to grab the best one . So here are a few pointers on Grabbing a good domain name:

Number 1: Always make sure your domain name is short and easy to remember few websites with really large domain names get less hits cause Google and people have problem typing them up in their browser window which makes a pretty good mess . They would be stuck in trial and error to the end of their days you don't want that to happen don't you!

Number 2: Try to get a more relative name to your blog or website . Make it a point when you get a domain name don't try to hurry on names cause you will be stuck with it for a whole year round and that would be a disaster you would have to start from base one again aka buy a new domain ! It not only helps in recognizing what the site is about but also helps in SEO development i say a good SEO is the base and heart of every website or blog .

Number 3 : Well this is the last thing you must be worrying about is the payment . Well there are many ways to do them and pay em up but you should always find the way that suites you best . For EG: ME i am trying to earn some cash up here and then i will go on buying blog and probably a website for myself if i make enough . Well that's my story but it doesn't have to be that hard . But its best you it my way this way you can really learn how to blog effectively and efficiently and you may even make a big hit on your number meaning getting up like more friends before you even start a website so do try and stick up with it . If you can't well KEEP TRYING there a million in one chance you won't get up there . Well few exceptions are always there but if your determined you never know you might end up a big entrepreneur like John Chow or Shoe money . Personally i think they are big showoffs lol but i like it ! You got the dough so why not waste it on publicity !

So that take cares of buying a domain but what should you look for when buying a blog package plan or a space for yourself:

Well i will keep this one short . There not much to tell here just have to use your common le sense here.

You should look for :

1. A Good Hosting plan which meets your requirements
2. A good space which could hold an elephant in ! Thats what i would look for.
3. A good bandwidth and yeah you should keep this in mind always if your receiving many visitors a day your site many go down make it a precaution .
4. Payment mode . I would prefer paypal its easy to handle and does not even take up any processing charges .
   
5. Should include basic requirements like PHP , APX, ASP, Flash support etc most affiliates require this in order to gives a more user friendly add environment .

Well so now to the affiliates that i was referring to and they are.

Day - 2 I Apply to my affiliates

Like i was out for a few days had some problems filin my visa . I think blogger is showing many problems each day i don't understand why?! Some pictures are getting vanished and youtube video's as well. So that's the least of my concern now . But yes the fact is the only thing that matter in your blog is its content if its good enough people will read no matter what . And then my keyboard is also getting worn out i will be buying a new one soon my G C Z V- are really hard to press .

PayPerPost.com

So back to bloging . I have fixed my blog and i hope i meet upto thier expectations and yes i hope i get accepted into thier respective programs. I will be applying again to:

• Pay Per POst
• Smorty
• Project Wonderfull

Oh and guess what i just got quoted that my blog was worth 10 - 40 $ per post from sponsored reviews seems like my ratings are just going up . Technorati Alexa Link pop! And to think i was doing reviews for only a nominal amount . I think one or two reviews would be enouh for a month now. I am sorry if i hae been over posting i denied the two remaining reviews when i saw this and the requirements of other affiliates . So effectiely no harm done.

Right now i just opened up Pay per post and am logining in to submit my blog again . hmmm.... is it me or my technorati is going up everyday . Well infact my Izea is comin down . I am like 2899 right now and i will try to maintain this rating . If you aren't bloging effectively each day you tend to slack and your ratings start to fall which is a bad thing i guess....!

Well Pay per Post Application is done all good to go . Lets see what the end results are! I have also finished with Smorty and Project wonderful. I will be waiting for the results eagerly lets see if it works out . Thank you for being my audience.

Day-1 Rectifying my Blog- Part-1

So guys here's the deal 1 week 3 goals to join those affiliates i talked about earlier . I want to show you how effective blogging is done and how to set your goals and achiving them effectively .

Lets get started folks firstly i would like to discuss a problem that i have been facing while posting pictures on to my blog ! look at it yourself . I think blogger doesn't upload the link pictures instead it makes a code and displays it there which is ridiculous the ip's of servers today keep on changing and to keep track of them would be impossible . Although i will be fixing it up soon . SO lets get to work

1.FIXING YOUR BLOG POSTS:
Well firstly you need to find all the blog post that need fixing . For example broken links , Broken image link. etc. I found a few of them in my blog too there aren't many posts so its easy people who have much more than i do are bound to o crazy. Its a lengthy process and requires patience.

2. CORRECTING ALL COPIED CONTENT:

Well i am going to fix my blog posts in 3 ways

• Removing content completely
• Editing and fixing the blog post and adding recent facts written by me only
  
• Removing picture posts ( Although i am not sure about this one).

Well i won't be removing my sponsored review posts as i have already been paid for them . And i regret it i just saw my blog was under priced. The suggested price was around $10 - $40 . And i did the job in $5 plus the commission they will charge from me .

3. Referring to the Emails I GOT:
Well yes i have to check weather or not i have complied to their needs and if they will be satisfied with the changes that i am doing. So i am going to refer to project wonderful's email review you can check the subsequent post for it . So lets start i will be posting the problems i face while changing and editing the blog. If your guys have any questions just let me know .

Results:
I was able to delete all the copied content . It was really tough on me because i think those posts were generating traffic from google take a look at this picture. Well apart from the fact that my SEO tricks are really working i really need to pace up a little.

I got all the photos i lost in the broken links now i am just trying to get them up and fixing those holes in my blog.

I Got Rejected - Pointer To new And Upcoming Blogger

Well ya its true i got rejected on Smorty and Project WonderFull ! Well i did get rejected on quite a few other Affiliates as well due to my Negligence and my ignorance towards my blog content . Like we all learn from our experiences and now i am going to share mine with you!. And this may help you get into quality blogging and get a good status among advertisers and visitors too.

Well i am blaming nobody but myself and i promise to reform my ways and to blog with unique content only written by me, edited by me and posted by me . I have been maliciously cheating trying get copied content onto my blog . From sources like Wikipedia and some other sites but yeah i am going to delete or change the content of my blog soon and yes i will prove to you guys effective blogging is vital to maintain your reputation.

I never understood what it meant i didn't know even though i always used to read it incorrectly. Means i had quite some posts that where my own but yeah i never realized copying from a non-copyrighted site would be a problem i.e. wiki. Yea i know it was lame move on my part but yes i never thought it would be it. Well what do you expect i was new and i really didn't get it in one go but then i received an email.

It was from Project Wonderfull even though i was a bit disappointing that i hadn't been accepted into their respective program. I just closed the mail . I never did read it full. Then i got a mail from smorty which was:

it this time i read it even though it was a negative review towards my blog i took it
in a positive way. And i must say it had answered all my question. Well its answer was
a bit too specific i felt a bit embarrassed and yes i learnt of my mistakes and i am
REALLY THANKFUL to their team that they wrote me a good review. This was the email i got from them.
