I have been trying to understand how it works, but I admit I cannot figure it out.
May be you can and if so, please teach me how I can monetize my blog.

Please go to Ranking Blogs, read it fully. Not that there is much
to read, you can see only familiar words that we have all seen already.
After you register and log in, go tour account and click on all the links under
Website Owners and Buying Ads.

Something is missing. I may be wrong but .....
There are two ways to earn; one is through text link ads and the other
way is writing a blog post as
we do for blogitive.com. The second way is called 'Advertorial'.

But once you set your rates for your blogs, I don't know what to do.
I clicked on 'Browse ads' and chose 'Advertorial' for a product.
The next screen presented a form asking me to fill up some
details and I am stuck up here.

Any help bloggers?

A different kind of adsense revenue sharing.

My first adsense revenue sharing website is Senserely.

Within 3 months of joining senserely, I joined in as many as 10
such sites, wrote vigorously only to end up losing interest
because of no significant earnings.

However, my blog posts were read and in fact they are still
being read. This is very satisfactory.

Now I am blogging only for two of the 10 sites and senserely
is one among the two. I like James of senserely.com and
I respect him a lot.

He has just started a new website with the same mindset of sharing
Adsense revenue: http://www.AdSensigg.com

Simply put, AdSensigg = Adsense + DIGG

It means the site is a DIGG-like with an Adsense Revenue Sharing
Program, so you get to promote your blogs/websites and
you earn from page views.

If interested, you can register at http://www.adsensigg.com/register and edit
your profile to insert your Adsense ID. Then start submitting
your own WebPages.

The difference between AdSensigg and other DIGG-like sites
is that you are very welcome to link to your own pages with
Adsense on them, to your blog pages on Senserely or to your
friends' pages anywhere.

The end of your headache.

It is very likely that you may not be satisfied with the opinions and suggestion you sought for your impending vacation to Disneyland.

The data you collected from various sources about places to stay at, attractions to see, the expected expenditure, the dos and don’ts may all be very confusing and leave you undecided.

You can put an end to your headache if you make all your arrangements online with authentic and experienced travel service providers.

Please be aware that during your vacation to Orlando, the most expensive and intimidating factors in your planning process are the endless admission tickets which can really create a vacuum in your wallet.

Orlandofuntickets.com is the ultimate source for discount tickets for Disney World and all Orlando theme parks, dinner shows and attractions. After all, you are planning for your life time experience; it is not advisable to miss out on hundreds of attractions due to shortage of money.

OrlandoFunTickets.com has discounted tickets to everything Disney has to offer including Disneyquest, Downtown Disney Pleasure Island, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach Water Parks, as well as every Disney theme park ticket that is available.

No doubt that you will be asked not to miss seeing Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. For Universal Studios Tickets and discounted tickets for dinner shows that include Arabian Nights, Medieval Times, Pirates Dinner, buy them in advance from OrlandoFunTickets.com.

You save a lot of money and time too as you don’t have to stand in long queues to buy tickets.

Good traffic from Blog Skinny.

To be frank, I did not expect Blog Skinny to be so active and keep their promise of sending fresh new visitors.

Of course, I have not analyzed my blog traffic but I trust them when they email me that my blog has received so many clicks. I am really enjoying the amount of traffic my blogs received. They are very regular in communicating.

Their list of directories published on their website are fresh and new. I know because, I have already compiled my own list of blog directories collected from various sources.

Whenever, they add a new directory to their list, you are alerted by email. And when you suggest a blog directory that is not in their list, you get 1000 visitors to you blog.

I am now their loyal subscriber to them. I am sure you will like them for your blog promotion.

The potential of Blog Carnival.

No, I am not disappointed that I received only one submission to my blog carnival. In fact I am happy and gratified for that one person and also to Blog carnival team.

I feel, bloggers have not realized the immense of potentiality of Blog Carnival for their blog promotion and popularity.

Here is how it works: (This is for the new readers)

1. You can submit your blog post (should be a new one) to the existing carnivals that match your topic. You can search in Blog Carnival for the topics that are about to be published. You blog post will have a link to your blog.

2. The carnival host will publish your blog post in his/her blog. Since there may be several submissions from various authors, your post will be read for sure by other authors.

3. You can also created a carnival on any topic and host it on your blog.

Over a period of time, you will start liking the work and it is beneficial to your blog's popularity.

I am hosting my second carnival on 'Money by blogging'. Please see the widget on the right for dates.

This cannot depreciate.

Gold is one thing that will not let down its owner neither in price nor in security.

Sit down and calmly ponder over this information. Take even an hour but at the end, give your honest opinion.

Even before the birth of Jesus Christ, man’s (woman’s too) affinity for gold is history. Gold has been mined and minted by nearly every dynasty in every continent. It was the legal tender before this worthless paper currency.

Gold has been human kind’s expression of wealth, security and asset. Whatever may be the fluctuation in the price of gold, it continued to yield profit only if bought as an asset.

There are safe places to buy gold in every nation and most of the buyers remain loyal to their source of gold because of faith and trust.

For Americans, Monex is the authentic source for all their precious metals investment. For over 30 years, the Monex companies have been America’s gold, silver and precious metals investment leader.

The picture here displays American eagle gold coins that are available in units of 10 one-ounce coins.

My ramblings on sposnored posts.

It was in May 2006, that I found about the opportunity to earn as a pro blogger.

Till that time, I did not know about earning from blogs. I started blogging mainly to share my knowledge and experience. Of course I knew about AdSense and it took exactly 12 months to earn my first $100 from AdSense.

I stumbled on to 'paid to blog' opportunity in bloggerparty; I read a post of another blogger about Blogitive.com. I was fascinated by this opportunity and I did not hesitate even one minute to sign up with blogitive and submitted my blogs.

I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from them after two days informing me that my blogs have been approved.

I have completed one year with Blogitive and I have made my first sponsored post in this blog today. Through out this period, they have been very supportive and paying promptly.

Looking back, working for them was very rewarding. I gained enormous knowledge in blogosphere, developed some very good contacts.

Now I am working for more than half a dozen companies.

I thank everyone who have given an opportunity to earn by blogging.

Free blogger templates.

Good resource for beta bloggers with an upgraded version. There is a craze right now to install attractive templates on blogger based blogs.

In the upgraded version, widgets are of great help in add whatever we want and it is extremely user friendly.

I know many people are still not aware of the features of upgraded blogs. It is very easy to change templates.

Here is a blog that offers beautiful templates for blogger based blogs.
This blog also has good tutorials and other utilities for bloggers. I found a few posts on blogger hacks which can be very useful in monetizing your blog.

Bookmark this blog as you need it very often. And also don't forget to pass it on.

Appreciative coaching by Sara Orem.

This blog post is based on information provided by Blogitive. For more information, please visit Blogitive.com

When I quit my school in 1999 as the head of the department of Maths, I had one prime reason. I vowed to adopt a different teaching method than the one followed in most of the schools in India.

I was fed up with shrinking down the human limitations further deep with the problem oriented approach of education.

There are innovative ways to coach and bring out the best from students. Have you heard about Sara Orem’s ‘Appreciative Coaching?’

Sara Orem, faculty member in the online university’s School of Business and Technology, co-authors book titled ‘Appreciative Coaching: A Positive Process for Change’

Based on recent developments in psychology and organizational development, Sara Orem had formulated this fresh educational strategy that uses positive questions, mindfulness, and other tools to acknowledge the strengths of individuals and effect change.

“Rather than focusing on individuals in limited or problem-oriented ways, Appreciative Coaching guides the reader through four stages – Discovery, Dream, Design and Destiny – that inspire them to an appreciative and empowering view of themselves and their future,” Orem says.

Capella University is lucky to have her in their academic team. Founded in 1993, Capella University is an online college that is accredited, fully online university that offers graduate degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, and psychology, and bachelor’s degree programs in business and information technology.

Carnival on Money by Blogging.

Welcome to the May 27, 2007 edition of Blog Carnival.
This is my first attempt at hosting a carnival and I am happy to say that I received one submission from Mr.David.

David presents Millionaire Bloggers posted at Worldwide Success.

Technorati tags: malathy, blog carnival.

Thank you Mr. David.

A 10 point tutorial for new bloggers.

Oh, have I written 'for new bloggers'?

In fact this 10 point tutorial is for experienced bloggers too, like me. No one can say "I have leaned all that is there about blogging'. Learning is a life long process.

My friend Kip has made blog post outlining the then 10 basic steps while creating a blog.

I would like to elaborate on her 6Th point-Design and layout of a blog. I confess I am a novice in these matters and that's why I took time to read this point.

When I learnt about the 'page elements only two weeks ago, I was excited and tried out many additions and in fact am still doing so.

Kip says with subtle sense of humor,"Don't add so many page elements that people feel like they're walking in Times Square during rush hour. You want them to focus on the post first and foremost."

I liked it very much. It made me think again and probably I may re-do my blog.

All her suggestions to increase the link popularity should be heeded to, by every blogger. I wish I know how to convert my blog to a three column template like Kip's blog.

Thank you Kip.

Automatic Technorati favorite exchange program.

This is the best ever tool for bloggers that I have found. It is simply amazing and works perfectly.

In our quest to increase our technorati rank, we are all requesting each other add our blogs as their favorites in their technorati account.

When someone has acceded to our request, then we repeat the reciprocating process manually which becomes cumbersome.

A genius has developed a program which does the job for us automatically. When someone adds our blog in their technorati favorite, this programs automatically adds their blog in our technorati favorites.

Brilliant-is it not?

How it works:



















Installation:

• Download the zip file
• Unzip the zip file
• Execute the program
• Double click on technoratiff.exe in the directory where it was unzipped
• Enter your Technorati username and password
• Press Run

Read the full article here: Automatic technorati favorite exchange program

And don't forget to say thanks to the author of the blog post and don't forget to share this with your friends.

Thank you Engtech.

I just found out about an update for this program.

Bloggers Wanted.

Who is not attracted by such headlines these days?

As soon as I clicked on the link "Bloggers Wanted", I noticed it was posted by News Blaze.

But I don't know when it was posted so I have no idea if they are still looking for bloggers. I have no intention to find out because their areas of interests don't match mine. Very sad indeed!

Had there been a topic on blogging, I would have definitely considered applying.

But there are always more doors open for me. I am optimistic to the core.

I am sure many of my readers will look up on this opportunity. I wish you the best this life can offer.

Earn $50 per article.

This opportunity is for freelance writers.

Someone is paying $50 per article. Please read full details at Income Opportunities.

I was told that you need to rush as positions get filled up fast.

Share this information please.

Want to have a three column template?

Almost every blogger's wish will be to have a blog template with three columns instead of the existing two columns provided by blogger.

This can increase our commercial area that gives us more chances to place text links or other forms of sponsored ads.

But for bloggers like me, who have absolutely no idea how to tweak the templates, here is a tutorial which is explained in crystal clear steps.

Please click here to read it: Kumiko's Cah Quest.

I am one of those persons, that will not venture out to carry out the steps involved to change the template simply because-Fear!

For me, the blogger has given a pre-designed template with three columns and we just have o download it.

Say thanks to Kumikosuzuki.

Nothing skinny about this blog directory.

Don't get any fancy ideas about the name of this blog directory-Blog Skinny.

This exclusive blog directory has got loads of features:
1. List your blogs for free under proper category in a just a few steps.
2. Add your blog feed url also for free. ( I added mine and saw it live on their page in less than a minute later)
3. Find a big list of blog directories.
4. If you know of a blog directory that is not in their list, you can suggest it to them and get rewarded with 1000 free impressions to your blog.
5. If you install their search box in your blog and if there is a search made from it, again you are given 100 free impressions to you blog.
6. They have good categories with thousand of blogs listed. So this directory is not skinny but a fat one indeed.(smile)

Go ahead, use it now!

Call for submissions to blog carnival.

This is my second innings with Blog carnival but first attempt to organize my own carnival.

Previously, I had submitted blog posts for a 'Money Earning Blog Carnival'. I was not all that satisfied with the outcome. Well, I thought I could remove some of the short comings and try and host a carnival for the benefit of bloggers.

I seek your support bloggers; please send your blog posts on the topic, "Money by blogging'.
You can submit your blog posts with a link to your blog or website. The deadline for submission is on 21st May. It will be published on 27th May.

You can go to Blog carnival and register yourself for free. Then log in, locate my blog carnival and proceed to submit. The name of the blog carnival is "Blog Avenues". (see the side bar)

There is a link in the widget that is placed in the sidebar. You will see a link at the bottom of the widget that says,"Submit an article". use this link for your submission.

I think I may brief you about what is a blog carnival and what is the advantage of the host of a carnival and what submitters gain from it.

I seek my fellow bloggers support for mutual benefit.

The following information is credited to Blog carnival:

• The Host volunteers to host a carnival edition on their blog. They work with the organizer to pick a date that suits them (popular carnivals schedule their hosts for months in advance). In the period leading up their scheduled date, they collect submissions from bloggers, and organize them into a single article chalk-full of links, often with their own comments. This article is published on the scheduled date, and everyone leaves comments on their blog telling them what a great job they did (well, usually, anyway).
• 
  
• Bloggers who have written an article on the carnival's topic can submit the link for inclusion in the next edition of the carnival. Often, bloggers who contribute to carnivals are experts in their field (or at least, highly opinionated!). Blog Carnival has a carnival submission form for each carnival that bloggers can use to submit links to selected posts to a carnival host. All the blogger needs to know is the name of the carnival, and Blog Carnival takes care of getting it to the right person.
• The Audience consists of both bloggers and just-plain-interested readers. They come to Blog Carnival to find out if there is a carnival on a topic they are interested in, and to find out where the carnival editions have been, and where they're going to be in the future.

Thank you blogcarnival.com

Music widgets pays you.

By installing widget that plays music and show ad, your blog visitors can listen to the music, watch the video ad and for that you are paid as a publisher and your visitors naturally are not paid to listen to that music.(smile)

But then, they need not even click on anything for their entertainment.

I know, you want the full details now. I could sense your impatience.

Click here.

Don't forget to share it with your friends.

From zero to John Chow.

I remember very well writing about John Chow about three months back in one of my blogs. At that time, I failed to study him fully.

After that I lost count on the number of times that I landed on his blog clicking on links from hundreds of places.

My first blog post somewhere in 2005 was zero when I read the first post of John Chow till the latest one about Reviews of Blogs whose topics revolve around make money online.

Hey, do you know that I may qualify to be listed on Paula Mooney's list of blogger who have earned more than $479.88 in one year? I have sent an enquiry asking if I have passed their test.

If you want to know all about it, please read again the blog post entitled 'List of Blogger salaries' in JohnChow.com. If I want to realize my dream of making it big in blogosphere and ranked alongside John Chow and Nandini Maheswari, I must spend more reading blogs.

After reading the profile of John Chow, I have come to a conclusion. He is some legend and I stand no chance ranking on parallel to him.

Namaste John Chow!

The traffic potentiality of Stumbleupon.

This person Doshdosh continue to amaze me. The energy with which he blogs cannot be gauged. He writes every article with ardent passion. Even a dumb person like me can understand his blog posts and use it personally without anyone's help further.

Yes, I too, like millions, have installed 'Stumbleupon' toolbar but so far I have used it to give my 'Thumbs up' only 19 times.

I just finished the article on Stumbleupon by Doshdosh and exactly after three seconds, here I a writing about it.

After reading his tutorial, I checked all my blogs url by typing them one by one on Reviews by Stumble upon.

I am naturally not shocked to find none of my blogs listed there. It means, none has bothered to say 'I like it' to stumbleupon.

Heeding the suggestion of Doshdosh, I stumbled my own blogs and checked it immediately after in their Reviews by Stumble upon. It was there happily staring at me.

Like we the mybloglog members reciprocate visits, exchange links, exchange Technorati favorites only through messaging, there is an exclusive website to exchange stumble between bloggers.

May I now invite my readers to exchange stumbles? There is no point in making the request in the comments sections here because many may have more than 5 blogs. (I have 6 blogs, hi hi hi..)

My email is shown at the top. Please send in your requests.

Thank you comrade Doshdosh. You are simply a darling.

Free blog backup service.

Yesterday, I was reading a fee from webware.com and I got attracted by the above headline.

I remember asking a few of my online contacts if they know how to take a daily backup of our blog since just then I read a few posts in forums that people have suddenly lost their entire blog.

So, naturally I wanted to know more about this great service which is offered free of cost.

Blog Backup Online is easy to use foe blogs that are hosted by Blogger, TypePad, or WordPress...

Sign up for free, activate your email and register your blogs. It cannot back up all PEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, BMP Image files at present.

Presently we are given a 50MB space and within that quota, we can register any number of blogs.

“A full backup requires Blog Backup Online to crawl the blog starting from the main URL following links from both the calendar and archives to find all blog entries. This method is used to perform a complete backup because RSS and Atom feeds for a blog typically only serve the most recent entries and do not provide access to earlier entries.

A full backup can run anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours. An example of a large blog with 1500 entries typically requires 2 hours to fully archive.”

If we run out of our allotted space, email morespace@techrigy.com

Connect with bloggers.

I did not expect to write about another blogging community only two days after I wrote on the same topic, inviting information from my blog readers on blogging communities.

Well, here it is The Good Blogs-the latest website that I joined to promote my blogs. It is a place for all of us to get connected with other bloggers worldwide, park our blog urls, interact with fellow bloggers and what not!

I am a highly optimistic lady, expecting new visitors to my blog every five minutes. I simply love to get connected. I know I have nothing to sell from blogs, I only share my knowledge and would like very much to gain knowledge from my dear blogging friends in this Universe.

Their interface is beautiful and more functional. But their widget is not all that useful like mybloglog.com's widget.

This is their widget:
















They say that every time a reader visits your blog, you will be promoting other bloggers in a block like the one you see above. Similarly, you will be promoted by other members through their TheGoodBlogs block on their pages.

This is fruther elaborated on their next page which says something about channels and slots to select the content. This is rather confusing to me. I must acknowledge the fact that I don't understand it. That is why I have removed the widget from my blog after keeping it there for two days.

For bloggers of India.

I have received a surprise email from the webmaster of eNewss informing me that a category is specially opened to accommodate my blog listing.

A week before, I submitted this very blog to eNewss which actually is not a directory of Indian bloggers, but a simple home for blogger's daily rants and raves. eNewss has a simple search which helps you find all the old posts from Indian bloggers ordered by date. eNewss can be described as India blog aggregator at best. Those are the exact description of eNewss in their own words.

Ok, what is so surprising?
The day after my submission, Mr.Sri- the webmaster of eNewss emailed me that my blog doesn't fit in to any of the existing category and he has to create a new category 'Blog for money' and he asked me if I can email him back with a few more of such blog feeds, he will be happy to do the rest.

I said I will not do it for him. So, when I received his email a few minutes ago informing me that my blog is listed under the new 'Blog for money', I was surprised and happy too.

Thank you very much Mr.Sri for your consideration and support.

I hope more blogs get listed under this category which I am sure will be helpful to anybody in the world blogging community.

After all, what is life without sharing.

Technorati rank building.

Is it some sort of coincidence?

Of late, I have been reading a lot of blog posts about technorati exchange. I participated in few.

I feel we should rush things up. A sudden spurt in technorati links will not look natural. I will be selective only in accepting offers. I hope, people will take it in the right perspective.

For example, I am ready exchange technorati favorites and text links with other blogs that are on anything about blogging such as blog promotion, blogging community, blogging for money, blog directories and so on.

I also invite blogs that deals with widgets, web tools, blog forums etc.

Interested persons can directly email me and email id is at the top right of this blog.

Thank you readers.

Bloggerwave is waking up!

After the initial activity, only today, I saw some life in bloggerwave.

Without much expectation, I logged in today and found a paid campaign. They have changed the interface slightly. Today's campaign was about a danish company in the venture capital sector.

Hmmm..., Danish companies are really good. This particular company's website was simple but informative and clear.

But, one thing is a bit of concern. They have not paid me so far for my earlier assignments. I have full faith in them, there is nothing to worry.

I hope to see at least one assignment per day.
Thank you bloggerwave.

More visitors through blogging communiies.

In my side bar, you might have noticed two widgets provided by mybloglog.com and blogwoods.com showing the recent visitors to this blog.

Both the above websites are blogging communities where bloggers register their blogs and join different communities that are related to their blog topics.

Then bloggers place the custom widget in their blogs' side bar. When co-members of the same community visit your blog because they are interested in your blog, they are shown as one of the recent visitors to your blog in the widget.

If you click on the image of the visitor, you are taken to their profile page and it is up to you visit their blog, interact further to exchange links and views.

This is the most authentic way of traffic and link building. The contribution by mybloglog.com in this sphere is phenomenal.

Blogcatalog.com is a similar service provider.

There is one more blogging community that I came across today and it is Bumpzee.
It also works the same way like mybloglog.com but with a different interface and one major difference.

In bumpzee, you add your blog in the appropriate existing community (category) or start your own that fits your blog topic. Your submitted blog has to be approved the owner of the community.

I also like fuelmyblog.com. I read several blogs there; I am quite impressed by their top quality and content. The interface is like blogwoods.com but when your mouse moves over the images of the bloggers, you will see what their blog is about with proper links to take further action.

Bloggers cannot afford to overlook these traffic avenues. It is also great way of building friendship, share knowledge and support each other.

If you know more such blogging communities, please make a comment.
Thank you for reading.

A new market place for bloggers.

So, the cat is let out of the bag.
Bloggst is wise like me(smile). They have analysed the paid to blog industry, realized that advertisers can reduce their spending by directly contacting bloggers who are paid to write about their products or services.

The ubiquitous middle man is shoved out and advertisers will meet fact to face(digitally?) in market places that are popular in big forums like Digital Point, Webmaster World.

Bloggst opened their market place for advertisers and bloggers two days ago. I think I was the person to make a post there because there was not a single post when I logged in to post. Even now, not many posts are there but we should give more time to become popular.

In this forum, bloggers can place their services and the price for them and are likely to get hired when an advertiser sees a match.

Get on the wagon pro bloggers, it is totally free.

Are you a blogger from India?

All bloggers from India can submit their blogs in Blog Street, an exclusive directory of blogs for Indians.

You need to register for free to add your blog, review a blog and so on.

It is a place one can find other bloggers by city wise in India. For example, if you are in Chennai, you can find all the bloggers in Chennai. All major cities are listed in blog street.

I noticed Lalu's name everywhere. So many fans of Lalu?

New market place for bloggers.

I am given to understand that Review Me has opened a new market place for bloggers who are already blogging for money.

Like other players in this field like Blogitive, Pay per post and Blogsvertise, bloggers who are also known as publishers can register their blogs for their approval.

Based on the content, Google PR, Alexa rank and few more parameters, our blog is approved with a fixed price tag on it. This price tag is what the advertisers will pay per blog post.

This is a nice idea. I saw some of my blogging friends' blogs that command more than $200 price tag. I am happy for them and I wish them well. My friend doshdosh is one among them.

Of course John Chow is somewhere near the top which was expected naturally.

Go ahead, register your blogs and enjoy some money and popularity. Even if your blog is ranked low, it can still get new visitors as some advertisers may look for blogs with a minimum price tag.

In fact, I foresee more chances of approval with blogs that rank low.(smile)

Exclusively for bloggers.

I stumbled on to this exclusive directory of blogs called E-Marketing blogs.

They accept blogs that are related internet marketing blogs, network marketing blogs, work from home blogs, and blogs on closely related topics.

It has a good PR, with comparatively less number of listings. It is a good time to list your blogs if they fall under their category.

I have found some very good blogs listed.

Word Press installation guide.

You can say I am the ultimate novice in web/blog building. I just could not understand all these WP installation, FTP, backing up etc.


Here I found my savior who has blogged about WP installation.
Yes, even to me, he made it look very easy and I am going to try it out and get it over wit.

He says,"it’s actually very easy. Very little can go wrong, and really the worst that can happen is that the new theme won’t work, and you have to try again."

Only eight steps involved to complete the installation!

Thank you blog-op.com

Burn your blog.

It was almost a year ago that I first made a post on senserely.com, an adsense revenue sharing website.
I was literally thrilled at this prospect of earning from your blog without having to promote it.
Within a few weeks, I joined as many 10 different adsense revenue sharing sites and I blogged and blogged and blogged.

Finally, after a month or so, I earned my first adsense income; it was US$ 0.03!

Today, I received my first check from Google. Thank you Google!

OK, here is a website that allows you to split the adsense income generated from your blog posts on their site named Blog Burner.

All the usual terms and conditions are imposed on their website also and there is absolutely nothing new.

I have had enough! But it will be a good experience for new bloggers. It will help them to pick up a few readers.

Earn points and convert it to cash.

When was the last time I took a break off blogging, I don't remember.

But of late, I have been getting loads of email from my blog readers to ask for some finer details about blog content and blog networking. Well, I like myself when I am useful to somebody.

Have you heard about Gather.com?

It is a community of bloggers who are looking to generate extra traffic and also interested in reading others' blogs. Whenever you make a blog post there, you earn some points which can be converted to goods or cash.

I joined and tried to upload a few posts and found it very easy to do. Today, I got two new visitors to my blog because I used Gather.com to promote my blogs.

I know my readers are intelligent and are quite at navigating social networking websites, so I won't go in to more details about Gather.com

Just use it and share it.
