How To Increase Your Blogitive And General Wealth

I’ve noticed that a lot of bloggers use sites such BlogFeast, Writingup, blogcharm etc. and while these are all great sites there is something to be said for hosting your very own blog such as mine on Well Blog Me! Especially if you are looking at increasing your earnings from sites such as Blogitive, Blogsvertise, and Blogginads.

Here are some stats from my Blogitive earnings.

Well Blog Me! 35%
Sire’s Blog 26%
A Blogging Sensation 26%
Sire’s Blogger Blog 6%

For those of you who are not familiar with Blogitive, they offer your individual blogs task, and as can be seen from above, my personal blog gets more tasks.

Apart from that in regards to adsense more than 90% of my earnings come from my website and not from my blogs. The other advantage is that most affiliates are looking for webmasters to advertise for them and not bloggers, so with your own website you will be able to increase your current revenue, as well as advertise your blogs. You could host your own Forum as well as increase your linking strategies.

What brought all this up? Due to a good Kiwi friend of mine I found a new affiliate which is offering a great web hosting deal. Its basic plan offers for $6.95 per month up to 5000 megabytes storage space and a 400 gigabyte transfer as well as $700 in FREE CoffeeCup Software included with their 12 and 24 month Basic, Business and Windows Plans. Their free site transfer service and hosting transfer offer, private domain registration, and a FREE domain name for the life of an annual hosting plan!

I compared this to my current host and its basic package is $19.95 per month with 1 GB storage space and only 10 GB per month transfer.

So basically if you can get just 2 tasks from blogitive you will pay for your months rental and have money to spend. The name of the Web Host is Lunarpages and once you have your own website set up you can promote this affiliate for yourself.

It surely is something to think about.

Orlando Florida, The Best Holiday Spot

Orlando,
the name simply rolls off the tongue and yet how many people actually realize that Orlando Florida has more visitors each year than the population of California. According to statistics from the year 2000 that’s over 4.3million visitors. No wonder it has a booming tourist industry. It wasn’t always like this, as in the early days it had to deal with Indian wars, cattle rustling, gunfights and other leisurely pursuits whereas today instead of dodging bullets you could well be dodging golf balls from its golfing communities.
Yes today it’s a place of great jobs, schools, shops, entertainment, cafes and definitely a superb place to spend your vacation. Whether you interested in one of the seven theme parks or the Opera, Orlando is the place to go. I mean you work damn hard all year round and need somewhere to unwind with the family and what better place than Florida! Relax on the glorious white beaches or satisfies the kids needs for excitement with one or all of the theme parks. A 45 minute drive from the theme parks takes you to countryside so similar to the UK with rolling hills and oak trees you would think you were in another world. Travel south and take an airboat ride across the Everglades or take advantage of some of the best shopping opportunities in the USA. The fantastic weather and year round sunshine is definitely an alluring aspect of this wonderful state.
There is absolute no need to worry about where to stay as Orlando Vacation Rental can provide you with all your needs from Pool Homes to Condos. For all your rental needs you can either check or even book online with its secure online booking facility.
Need a break? Come see us at Orlando.

The Husband Store

Recently a “Husband Store” opened where women could go to choose a husband from among many men. It was laid out in five floors.

The only rule was, once you opened the door to any floor, you HAD to choose a man from that floor; if you went up a floor, you couldn’t go back down except to leave the place, never to return. A couple of girlfriends went to the shopping center to find some husbands…

First floor
The door had a sign saying, “These men have jobs and love kids.” The women read the sign and said, “Well, that’s better than not having a job or not loving kids, but I wonder what’s further up?” So up they went.

Second floor
The sign read, “These men have high paying jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking.” “Hmmm,” said the ladies, “But, I wonder what’s further up?”

Third floor
This sign read, “These men have high paying jobs, are extremely good looking, love kids and help with the housework.”
“Wow,” said the women, “Very tempting.” But there was another floor, so further up they went.

Fourth floor
This door had a sign saying “These men have high paying jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak.”
“Oh, mercy me,” they cried, “Just think what must be awaiting us further on! So up to the fifth floor they went.

Fifth floor
The sign on that door said, “This floor is empty and exists only to prove that women are impossible to please. The exit is to your left.”

Car Insurance, Always A wise Choice!

I have said it before, that the
Internet provides a wonderful service to mankind. It allows you to do so many things online and can free so much time. Kids can use it to help them with their homework or they can relax just playing games or chatting with their friends.
We as adults use it to pay our bills, shop online, do our banking as well as for relaxation purposes. Last night I was doing a search on car insurance estimate because mine was coming up for renewal and I found (unfortunately not available in Australia yet) this company with a unique offer. How often has it ever come up that a friend or family wanted to borrow your car but you didn’t really want to give it to them because it might void your insurance policy. Well NORWICH Union has launched Short Term Car Insurance to offer cover that caters for so-called lifestyle needs. It's temporary comprehensive cover, allows users to choose insurance for up to 28 days. So now the worry about your prize possession is now gone. Carinsurance.com can offer this as well as many other forms of cover online, quotes taking only a few minutes and can suit all your needs. It is so important to have comprehensive insurance, for peace of mind if nothing else. I mean its bad enough to be involved in an accident but imagine if you hit a Mercedes or something, just imagine!
It just amazes me what you can find on the net.

Bring Christmas Joy With A Gift Basket

Saint Nicholas the 4th century saint who inspired our
Santa Claus was born near Myra a port on the Mediterranean Sea. It all came about when he heard a man who was in a desperate situation. This man was so poor he was thinking of selling one of his daughters into slavery so that the other two may survive.

That night before the daughter was to be sold into slavery St Nicholas sneaked up and silently through a small bag of gold through the window and then promptly disappeared. In the morning the man found the bag of gold and fell to his knees thanking God. This bag helped sustain the family for a year but when it finally ran out the man again thought of selling his daughter into slavery. Saint Nicholas hearing of this repeated his last gracious gift. The man who had always wondered where the gift came from this time was able to confront St Nicholas and asked him why the generosity. Saint Nicholas replied that he could see he was in great need of help. When asked why he did it in secrecy he replied: "Because it's good to give and have only God know about it."

So today we have this lovely tradition where we exchange gifts with not only the ones we love, as there are many who will give to the needy. Many business do not realize how highly an employee would rate a gift at this time of year. I implore all business's to remember that a basket from Christmas Gifts for Business will not only bring good cheer and joy to your employees, it will also bring loyalty and close ties to you. Wouldn't it be better to work as a close unit where everyone is happy to be there?

These are also great for loved ones, colleagues, friends in fact absolutely anyone you can possibly think of. They can come in many designs and filled with lots of different sorts of goodies. Take the pain out of gift giving and select a basket today.

Google Adsense Not Making You Enough? Check This Out.

I assume that everyone with a website would like to make more money without having to rely solely on google adsense. Google adsense is well known for being able to generate income but is it the only way?
Two days ago I was fortunate enough in that someone who was surfing the internet found my The Elusive Pot Of Gold site and upon exploring emailed [b]me[/b] with an amazing offer. He was the business manager of this amazing company. This is part of the email:
"I’m interested in speaking with the person in charge of advertising partnerships for the elusive pot of gold. We would like to pay you on behalf of our advertisers to place in-text advertising, via our ContentLink ad unit to work along side your existing advertiser base on your site.
As I'm sure you get multiple requests to place advertising on your sites each week, I want to make it clear that our ContentLinks work in conjunction and are non-competing with the ads that are already running within your site. Implementing our technology is as simple as placing one piece of JavaScript into the closing body of your HTML page and our technology does the rest. It matches the advertiser's keywords to the text of your pages and provides your users with the easiest way possible to get more information about what it is they are reading about. We have been chosen to be the premiere distributor of Yahoo Content Search and we are working with some of the biggest advertisers online. Due to the effectiveness of our technology and the ads, advertisers are paying north of $.25 CPC and the ads are seeing around a 1%-3% CTR. Essentially, for every 1,000,000 page views our publishers are providing, they are seeing significant incremental ad revenue that was once not available to them. We pay a 60% revenue share off of the revenue generated, net 30. We've seen a tremendous amount of success with other publishers, and due to that success I need to find more placements for our advertisers and your site would be a great fit."


Needless to say I joined, my application was approved by Yahoo within 24 hours and the code (java script) was sent to me. I have installed it into most of my pages, the rest I will do later. You can see it in action in the following links.

The Elusive Pot Of Gold

The Pot Of Gold Forum

It even works on BlogCharm

I urge everyone to join Kontera as it is totally free and hope that you will also be accepted by Yahoo which is the next biggest search engine.

Does Nancy Burpee Get A Raw Deal?

The law is a funny animal, you never know who its going to bite
in the proverbial! Consider the controversies that follow paralympic swimmer Nancy Burpee, who is a world-class paralympic swimmer who attempted to participate in the Paralympic games in 2004 held in Greece. Ms Burpee was selected as part of the United States Paralympic team as she qualified at the United States Olympic trials where she set world records in the 50 and 100 yards freestyle. Unfortunately for her an Australian official, allegedly, disqualified her because she didn’t want Ms Burpee to compete against an Australian paralympic swimmer.
Nancy Burpee was then represented by simmons jannace & stagg who took on her case on a pro bono basis. Despite all their efforts to show that Nancy Burpee was discriminated against and should have been reinstated an independent administrator ruled against Nancy Burpee. Despite all the controversy being the tough woman that she is Nancy continues her career in swimming.
