New paid to post program

I have recently been pointed in the way of a new service which works in a completely different way to other paid post services. Rachel from the TurnOnePoundIntoOneMillion blog highlighted 'SeoBlogReviews' as a new paid posting service, but initially it is difficult to get to grips with.
I dutifully entered details of my blogs and the prices I would accept. A little later I got some emails which offered some lower prices, so I accepted some and rejected others that I felt were too low. At this point there were no actual opps., but soon after I was asked to accept a specific task. I duly did so, but for ages I heard nothing. Then with no warning, I was paid for the review, and only then did I get the specific requirements (Actually I had already spoken to Rachel about this and she clued me in that I would probably be asked to do 300 words and three links - this meant I had already written most of my review and saved it ready for publication later). There was a time limit attached to the conditions, but what impressed me was the fact that they were confident enough to pay out BEFORE I had actually published a word of the actual review.
Payout before publication takes some beating... I have had two more opps sent my way and have tentatively completed a draft post for each in the hope that I will be paid for those too...
Read my end of month review in about 10 days time for more details on this months earnings.

Pimp my ride

19However sad it might seem, I have to admit that one of my favourite shows on TV this year has been Pimp My Ride where some banged up motor is turned into a dream machine by a bunch of custom professionals. I often browse over to TMF to see when the next episode of Pimp my ride is going to be shown and love to settle down to watch the tansformation.
There are UK versions and US versions of the same show and both have pretty much the same format. The presenter starts at the door of the unsuspecting car owner with the news that their car is to be pimped, and their reaction is the first bit of entertainment especially as some of them don't hold back on expressing their delight!!
Then the presenter (Westwood in the UK Xibit in the US) drives the car back to the 'shop where they are greeted by whoops of derision from the mechanics. then the car is stripped to the chassis and totally rebuilt an repainted, reupholstered and has a whole load of gimmicks installed. Sometimes they get an airbrush paint job in a theme suited to the owner, they have some huge gleaming wheels fitted and maybe a games console or DVD player or mini PC fitted just for good measure. the show is rounded off by the resulting re-build being revealed to the owner and here is another chance for the owner to express their glee with various whoopings, quite a few choice expletives, some dance moves (one low-slung individual lost his pants in his celebratory dance...). The ecstatic owner then gets to drive his car back to show his friends who in turn express their disbelief - good wholesome entertainment with great feelgood factor..

Stumbled upon an SEO website

I have been getting into 'Stumble upon' lately and my findings will no doubt emerge in a later post, but today I stumbled upon a site worth reviewing. The site has been put together by Stephen an SEO expert who uses the motto 'SEO is a flair not a science - science always gets the same results!'.
The more I thought about that, the more it rang true. There are those who say that you can get SERP through following a set number of steps or will guarantee first position in Google search, but really SEO doesn't work like that.
The Google search hysteresis that determines your search engine results position for a given keyword or phrase is not written in stone like physics, it is subject to trends like fashion. What worked even 5 minutes ago may not work again... SEO has to be viewed as something fluid not rigid, almost having a life of it's own an existence fueled by Google geeks and shady back-office characters.
Not only does Stephen offer advice, often free on SEO, he raises money for cancer research in his spare time through charity races. He tells me he has raised £8,000 (that's $15,000) so far this year, and is planning to run at least 25 miles a week to reach a 1,000 mile target.

Get more for your endowment

There are a number of reasons why you may need to sell an endowment policy, for instance if you can’t keep up the payments, you lose your job or you need some capital for a major purchase.

In most cases, simply surrendering the policy to the issuer will mean that you will lose a lot of your investment, but there is an alternative.

Instead of surrendering the policy and returning it to the policy provider, there are a number of agencies who will be able to sell on your policy to a third party and may well be in a position to offer you a better deal. One such service offering to Sell Endowments is endowment express who say they can find buyers willing to pay up to 30% more than the policy surrender value.

A blog in a million

Rachel's blog explores all avenues of earning online with honest reviews of the schemes and earnings potential. The blog posts are excellently written, clear, concise and helpful. I have used this blog on many occasions to find out if a scheme is worth pursuing as I hope some people might use my blog for the same reason. Where Rachel and I differ is that I have concentrated on paid to post whereas Rachel has explored a wider spectrum of schemes including paid to read, paid to click and even branched out into online gambling (where you are given the money for your first stake so basically you can't lose).
Turn one pound into one million is information-packed for those that are seriously considering going all out for a supplementary online income. Looking at the blog archive, you see that Rachel started out completing an average of around one post per day, in May this year she managed to complete 75 posts and is up to a phenomenal 141 posts for June already. You are assured of quantity AND quality from this blog, so my recommendation is to mark it as a favourite in Technorati as I have done or get the RSS feed to keep up with the steady stream of sound advice.

JulieAnneBonner - a review

Julie sub-titles her blog as: Taking the Mystery out of Online Income Creation and I think most visitors will agree that this aim is most certainly achieved.
The blog is intelligently written, informative and reader-friendly, it is easy on the eye with good navigation through the topics listed in the side-bar. For anybody wishing to maximise the effectivesness of their blog, this is a 'must visit' site.
We can all learn something and I for one will be regularly visiting to get new ideas and tips. The lastest entry is about Julies contribution to Pro-Blogger where she talks about how she orgainses her blogging notes.. This is a great example of a well-thought out solution to a problem we all experienence. Who hasn't been browsing blogs and thought to themselves 'I need a copy of that article', 'I need to visit that web resource', 'I need to get ones of those widgets' knowing full well that your memory is not up to the task and some of those ideas will be lost forever?? Take a look at Julies article on pro-blogger to see how she deals with it.
I'm not going to use the URL for the article as I really want you to go to Julie's blog- visit her post first, then follow on to the article when you've had a good look around...

Although this blog, does not have any Page Rank as yet, one look at Google's cache for this site will tell you that it is being crawled very regularly and is surely on target for a very respectable rank when they are next attributed.

Andy Coates Blog - a review

Andy Coates has begun what promises to be an interesting, informative and entertaining blog. Andy has previous web experience and has set out here to investigate how to make money online.
Posts are neatly laid out and well-written, I am sure this is going to be a blog to watch especially as he has set out to write between 1 and 3 posts a day.
To start boosting his traffic immediately, Andy has started a competition for bloggers to review his blog. He left a comment on my blog, so it would only be polite for me to try and win the 'tenner' off him - That's $20 in blog world money!
(Hey Andy do I get the second prize too if I win seeing as you referred me yourself?)
Just in case I don't win, I would like to get the second prize, so please visit his site and do a review and tell him that I sent you...

Service Blog

Helping the Spiders find your site

I have noticed a growing trend for ‘service blogs’. Service blogs are basically rank- boosting blogs that provide links in return for reciprocal links. Many do this by reviewing your site and/or providing a link. In return, you may be required to review them or provide a link-back.

Why participate? Well you can boost your technorati rankings and maybe even improve your page-rank, and it costs nothing to take part.

The lastest ones I have come across are BlogBait and A Links Blog, my tip: pay them a visit, get your blog reviewed, get the benefit of the reciprocal linkings and watch your rankings climb. These work along the same lines as Greg Statz’s OurBlogReview . The majority of people who are authoring these blogs, have their own personal blogs, they have realised that having a service blog running alongside their regular blog can help not only their own rankings, but everyone that gets involved.
These sites may not be favoured by advertsising programmes or paid-to-blog schemes, but then, that is not what they are intended for. They are purely as the name suggests, a service to help promote those that get involved. One wonders whether the spidering web bots will one day become so dizzy following all these links, they’ll all end up stranded on someone blog somewhere?? They’re welcome to stop by here for a breather for as long as they like!

TheHotDogTruck.com

Every so often you come across a site that you want to share with everyone, well today it was The Hot Dog Truck… Rob owns a Hot Dog Truck and loves to talk about Hot Dogs… This is not his only subject matter though, interspersed with the Hot Dog Data are general observations all written in Robs distinctive style. Please pay this blog a visit to cheer up your day… Why not leave a comment (Oh, and if you’re a Yankees supporter – err… don’t bother…)

JA KEL DAILY DOT COM

Jason has an engaging style that makes you want to read his posts from beginning to end. He is frank and realistic about his aims to make money and blog achievements (apart from the Ferrari on the header!). His style is compelling and he deals with his subject matter in an intelligent manner – I wish I had more time, but I’ve got four more reviews to complete! Jason also does speed reviews for blog sites, on an exchange basis. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to this site to see what Jason is all about.

Making Money..

There are plenty of websites dedicated to making money online and most of them can teach you something you didn't know. I came across this one today: How to earn money blogging . Daryls' blog is well-constructed, evidence of the fact that this is one of a number of sites that he hosts.

This is a very active, busy site with lots of interactive linking to blogging communities and other similar blogs (like this one). Why not pay it a visit and see for yourself.

I will be posting a number of blog site reviews on munny4hunny fairly shortly, so please come back for more information on sites worth visiting (actually I can't guarantee at this point they they WILL be worth visiting, so come back to find out if they were!!)

Tip: It seems like there is still stuff to write about even while I am waiting to start the paid to blog programs. I wandered across a blog the other day which offers to review your blog and offers reciprocal links.
