What is blog?
We are starting the blogging series to make people learn some thing completely. So basically a blog is a weblog which consists of posts displayed in hierarchical form with newest posts at the top and older posts to the bottom. Some of the professional bloggers gave the meaning of blog in their own way which you can read below.It might clear doubts.
“A blog (a contraction of the term “Web log“) is a website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog”.Source
“Short for Web log, a blog is a webpage that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual. Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author”.Source
“A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world.Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what’s new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not”.Source
A blog consists of posts, comments and visitors. For specific reason a blog is owned by one person or group of persons or team. It may focus on single topic or group of topics. That depends on the wish of admin. In a blog people become friends, share opinions, learn and some time do business. It doesn’t matter where ever they reside they can share their opinion not caring about the border.
Posts:- Synonym of article is post. The process of publishing post is called posting. I write posts daily but they are no longer on the front page because the old posts will be replaced by new ones. I would like to add more and more posts daily because people like new posts to read every day. So the old posts cannot be lost instead it resided inside the deeper page of blog which is called archives. User can browse the archives by clicking the link provided in the menu bar.When clicked the archive displays long list of posts according to date.
Tag: - Every post contains tag which helps us find our article by specific keyword. Tagging is important for every post.
Comments:- The process of getting feedback for my post is called comments. I have never seen any blog with out comments. We will find it rarely. If the user is interested to share his opinion then he can comment just below the post. Just click comment and you can give your feedback, comment, question, criticizing, or any thing. By commenting bloggers can back links which in turn help them get quality traffic from big blogs. This can be done with out sweating out.The archives contain list of posts that are written on single day.
When I have stepped in to blogging , I thought it is complicated one, I thought I must learn html and java to master it. We don’t need to learn anything of that kind and this work can be done by some other bloggers, who are there and ready to help us.
Make Money Online With Scour
We use search engines for searching or finding the information we want. We use search engines as they provide the key information about a certain product. What would you do if some search engines pay you for using search engine, voting and making comments? It would be great. Imagine you are making money while finding the information. Such type of search engines would become famous in little fraction of time because of its nature. We don’t find such search engines on internet and if it exists we would be eager to find it out and join as soon as possible to make money online from it.
Now talking about such search engines scour comes to my mind. It is such kind of search engines which gives gift cards for using their search engine. Members will earn points for searching, voting and commenting. The hard earned points can redeemable for gift cards. Joining is free in it and members from all over the world are welcomed. It would encourage users to use their search engine more often.
While using the search engine we get desired results from google, yahoo and msn. Beside every search results we see the user’s rating. By this we can know the popularity of the link. The sad thing about the search engine is users based on the location have different point value in exchange to dollars. This site is not so popular but it will be a different money making system for people of US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and Spain.If people tend to work with them they would definitely rewarded for this Christmas with bunch of gift cards.
Make Money Online Using Toolbar
I wonder which one would pay for searching for internet or using any tool bar. But I have found Winzy, the site which pays members for using their tool bar. Winzy is a private company based in Mountain View, California. It is one of the fastest growing search engines on internet today which offers rewards for its users for searching the web. It was founded by successful young entrepreneurs, employees of yahoo, adobe systems and makers of google logo.
Members have three chances to win rewards from the site:-
-> Search and win instantly.
-> Refer friends; if they win you too win.
-> Accumulate points and participate in quarterly sweepstakes.
Currently only people from three countries which include United States, United Kingdom and Canada are allowed to join the program. This is the disappointing thing of the program as the membership is limited to few countries. Only people from these countries are accepted so you have more chances of winning prizes because of fewer crowds. The member’s names who have won the quarterly sweepstakes are posted on their blog. One can win hard $500 cash in quarterly prize drawing, apple ipod nano’s and shuffles and amazon gift cards.
Joining in winzy is not time consuming. If members are confused about how to win prizes then they can read the tips provided by winzy. Just download the tool bar and start searching now. Try some thing different this Christmas. It has been too late to act before some one may take away the prize which you can get. Besides searching the internet using tool bar we can also accumulate points by playing games on their site.
New Theme For My Blog
This is a new theme which is been given away for free by unique blog designs. It is very expensive to afford special theme during this great financial crisis. So I installed a free one. Every body can try this free one, because apart from being free one it has lot of features which the users don’t know. The theme is fresh with lot of useful plugins already pre-embedded in it. This plugins are used by blogger’s most often which needs to be uploaded separately via FTP.Now we don’t need to upload it. After installing the theme my blog looks quite professional. If you too want the same theme then you can download it from unique blog designs. If you want few more customizations then you can contact their customer support. The blogger should note few more points before installing the theme. The plugins are already embedded in the theme so one should remove the existing ones in order to make the plugins work correctly. Or take some one’s assistance before installing the new theme. I am not perfect in doing these things or else I use to give you assistance in installing the theme.
Blog Income Report - October 2008
The October month passed very slowly. I could not do regular postings because I have examinations so I have to concentrate on my studies. But I could make a decent income even I am not regular at blogging. I have to manage both things on one plane. In the month of October I have applied to major networks but they turned down my application. May be I am not regular at blogging and the blog is still in development mode.
Adsense - $36.16
Sponsorships - $32
Private Ads - $0
Advertising Cost - 0
Total Revenue - $68.16
I will re-apply to them in future. Many bloggers are worried that due to global melt down their income would decrease because there would be reduce in online purchase but this season can be beneficial for them because Christmas in coming near, so people hope there will be swing in their earnings if people make purchases online. I don’t want to depend on adsense any more I would like to make money with affiliate marketing. It is not good to pull all the eggs in one basket. It is good for bloggers like clickfornick, who brings majority of blog’s income from adsense.They need not spend too much time on applying to affiliate programs and promoting them.
