Need a sponsor for your blog?

Who would say 'No' to this question?

I take your 'Yes' for an answer as granted and I am glad to introduce to you Blogging Sponsorships, a market place for bloggers and sponsors.

There is not any big process to register and remember the password and all that. It is a very simple process.

Just take time to browse through their website and look at the blogs that are listed there waiting for sponsorship. This is just to give you an idea of the concept.

Click on 'Submit' and fill up the form which is the routine thing we have done while submitting o blog directories.

Finally, you will see a message that explains about listing fee. Wait! I have not yet finished.
If you want to list your blog for free, just write a review about this service and inform the webmaster about your review and send your permalink for your post.

Spread the word bloggers. Let us help each other.

Dclickads-the market place for us.

I am again writing about earning from blogs through sponsor ads-text ads, banner ads etc.
The marketplace for publishers and advertisers is provided by dclickads.com.

Responding to my previous post on the same topic, a few of my blog readers have intimated me that they have registered their blogs with dclickads. But I did not receive any further feedback from them.

What I like about dclickads is the advertisers can view the profiles of all the registered publishers and choose the one that can be useful to their ad campaign.

Another notable feature is filtering. As there are so many publishers, an advertiser can view the profiles by filtering out the category.

For a publisher, there are three options to choose the type of ads they would like to publish in their website or blog namely, text links, banner ads and embedded links.

This is the kind of market place that will serve the interest of both the advertisers and webmasters.

Do you like widgets?

Widgets are great invention-right. With a just a sentences characters, it functions are amazing.

I am of the opinion that interactive widgets are part of the web 2.0 technology. Even yahoo has a big library of widgets; I have used them once for fun. They are very colorful to place in our blogs.

Go to http://gadgetsdirectory.blogspot.com/
The blogger simply loves widgets and derives great pleasure in categorizing and presenting them in his blog.

I spent sometime browsing the directory and liked a lot. I would like to mention a particular widget called Daylight Map an interactive map showing which areas of the Earth are currently in daylight, and which are in darkness.

Nothing to hide here.

I strongly suspect many celebrities and young women are not yet aware of the products of Lovefifi.com that sells open tip bras and sexy looking lingerie. In this era, where exaggeration of one’s figure boosts self confidence, women would surely try out new outfits that enhance their shape.

Open tip bras expose the breasts but not fully giving them a rather full figure image.

But won’t it seem as if one is not wearing a bra at all? May be that is the purpose of the open tip bras.

Well, I am too old to wear them but I can recommend to some of my husband’s friends who are involved in the cine world.

Resources for blog content.

When I tried to motivate some of my close friends to blog and earn in their spare time, the first question all of them asked was, "What to blog about?".

Though I found the question as not very intelligent, I don't blame them. Initially, most of the bloggers will be dazed when they enter blogopshere. Not everyone is fully well versed with internet marketing.

For such newbies who don't have a clue to what to write in their blogs, here is an excellent blog post that I read just now. It is titled “23 Great Ideas For Blog Posts”
The author of the blog is Pat B. Doyle.

I like to point out one of the 23 points.
"Take something that is controversial and tell how you feel about it. Just be careful to be respectful to both sides. You don’t want it to turn into a flame war. Besides, it is just more professional to state your opinion in a calm, objective way."

Pay him a visit. He deserves it.

Gift for house warming ceremony.

For gift ideas for house warming ceremony, I am approached always. Oh, for that matter, people seek my suggestion for gift ideas for any occasion.

So, when my ex-boss informed me that he bought his 3 bedroom independent house in Rio Verde, I arranged to send him a bonsai Banyan tree. It is also a symbolic gift.

But at first I really did not know where Rio Verde is. When I looked up in the world map, I found out that it is a part of Maricopa County in Arizona. Actually my ex-boss would have selected this location because of the presence of many Indian communities though he did not confide in me. The largest of these are the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community and the Gila River Indian Community.

He only emailed me that he bought his property through Sonoran Properties who are rated among the most reliable realtors in Arizona with more than 10 years of experience. They have advised him that price appreciation in Arizona luxury real estate is considerably higher than other states in the U.S.

I am happy for my ex-boss and I sent him a silent blessing.

Get paid to blog-How much it is worth?

At least about 8 times a day, I come across the Google adword by ibibo.com under the title 'Get paid to blog' or something similar to that.

I had already written a review about that website.

Today, I decided to find out how much they are paying per click and how many people search with the same key words.

There is a very good tool to check such data and it is offered by Techno Bloggie.

Below is their estimate for the keyword, "Get paid to blog"

Max Bid: $3.51
Estimated Daily Search Volume: 159
Estimated Monthly Search Volume: 4794
Estimated Daily Clicks: 2.40 (This is for the top AdWords Position)
Market Value: $252.72 (This is how much the top AdWords Position would pay for all the monthly clicks for this keyword)
AdSense Effective CPM: $105.23 (Assumes a 60% revenue share from adSense, and a 5% CTR on ad units)

I know that Google doesn't give it a 'Top adword position' for all the places the adword appears.

So, they seem to be paying $252.72 every month for all the clicks but they promise much more every month by way of prizes!
