This hack allows an unknown blogger to attach their blog to the owner of a very popular community.It is very simple and points out a serious security problem with MyBlogLog’s verification system.Normally,…
Get paid for reviewing a blog post?
You heard me right. Pay-Per-Post is doing just that.As hard as it may be to believe, you can use Pay-Per-Post to not only make some money but to also increase blog traffic.The way it works is very simple. There is a small link at the bottom of each of my posts now that says, “get…
Why can’t we all just link to the source?

Giving BlogKits One More Chance
I recently dropped the BlogKits system from my blog. I ran it for about 45 days and though I had tons of clicks I never made any money off of it. I’ve been rethinking my removal of the BlogKits ad blocks and I’ve decided to give the service a second chance. Unlike my previous attempt…

No More BlogKits For Me
I have removed my BlogKits links from my blog. I am now back to just running AdSense, Amazon, Noble Knight and Funagain Games affiliate links. Why did I dump BlogKits? Well, it wasn’t because of the new AdSense TOS rules.Nope, I dumped BlogKits because it was not performing well enough for me. Not only was…
I’ve Been Blog Scraped!
I can’t believe it! I was looking at referral links on my blog and I saw one from Digg. I did not recognize it so I checked it out as I wanted to see who submitted my blog to Digg. Boy was I in for a surprise! Someone scrapped one of my blog entries, changed…
