Travel Blogging

Travel Blogging is when a Blogger who’s traveling Blogs along the way. I’ve been spending a lot of time in net cafe’s lately. Playing computer games and what not. I’ve noticed there’s a lot of people that have Blogger accounts that come to the net cafe for the purpose of only posting pictures on their Blog and talking about how their holiday is so far and where they are if they are doing a trip. I never really thought it was such a big thing, but at least 15% of the people that go to the net came I’m at are here just for the sole purpose of Travel Blogging.

Travel Blogging is much better then writing about it on pen or anything. Plus you can email and tell your friends your Blog and your whole travel is accurately documented. Not to mention that it’s time dated, can have pictures and what not. Is this going to become the latest Blogging adventure?

Yahoo serps update

Yahoo has updated its serps. What does this mean? it means that sites ranking positions have changed. So if you search Yahoo for Webmaster SEO, my rank has changed. I still am not near the front page but it has increased due to my backlinks. Check to see if your rank has changed check out Shoemoney’s serp tool

I hope your serps have increased mine have! :)

Mainstream or Resleller Hosting?

Domains play a vita role with the out-come of any website or serious domain trader. With that said, there’s 2 main paths to follow – Mainstream or Reseller.

What are the differences? A “Mainstream” registrar is a company that either independently sells the domains, or offers reseller packages to resellers. A reseller will go to the Mainstream company and ask for a reseller package. A reseller package is similar to a hosting reseller package. Where the reseller will sell the Mainstream’s companies product but under a different brand. Now which is better, the big company or the small guy who tries to make a profit?

The small guy may in some cases be better as he strives to make a profit and gain more exposure. But in most cases the big company will have a phone number, 1 on 1 live support and email support.

The verdict : Mainstream in most cases. ( www.godaddy.com ) – ( www.namecheap.com ) <- both Mainstream.

Funnyborat.com Sold to me!

I’m a real fan of the moive. The domain was up for sale on Digitalpoint forums. So I jumped at the chance to buy it for 10 dollars. I’m prolly going to use a wordpress theme, add some videos, add some funny quotes, some stuff about the film. Then maybe get some nice backlinks and sell it for around 250-400 at next update. This will take a lot of work, but I’m going to do it.

Wish me luck!

Why Google should invent a new online currency similar to “Paypal”

Paypal was first created for “securing” payments on Ebay. But quickly became widely used by business people, mum’s and dad’s. Lots of teenagers even have Paypal accounts. You would expect Paypal to be abused some what, due to the amount of people that use it. But Paypal has become to “stuck-up” in trying to give the buyer too much “protection”. Anyone who knows a bit about Paypal would know that you can buy games and stuff, then once you receive them, do a “claim” (a Paypal feature) saying you did not infarct receive the goods. The same applies with domains. Paypal also has no problem limiting accounts and making you verify them, buy adding Card details, verifying location. Paypal can easily be hacked too. Scam emails are big. But another one is on line stores get hacked and your Credit card details get hacked into. Then the person uses the details to make a fake Paypal account with your details and go on a spending field day. Now I bet you’re wondering why I think Google should introduce a on line currency. Well I’ve got some reasons why I think they should.

Google has the resources to get a high serp, pagerank, traffic site. I mean, there’s no chance any small company could run a huge on line currency.

Has the unlimited check book. What an advantage, with shares at 500 US, it’s got a big capital.

Ethics, every time I use Gmail, Adsense or any Google owned product I usually find it’s useful and if you run into errors the support team is willing to listen.

So what’s your opinion?

How to cash in with Playstation 3

Playstation 3 is only available in limited countries Japan and the US are the 2 main ones. Because of such a limited supply people in Britain and Australia are willing to pay lots and lots and lots. So if you can get your hands on a Playstation 3 for under 500 dollars. I’d personally buy it then wack it on Ebay and make a tidy profit.

Handy Adsense plugin for FireFox

How many times a day do you check your Adsense account? I don’t check mine at all. I use a handy little plugin called Adsense Notifier. You simply download the plugin put in your details and your earnings will appear on the bottom right hand of your Firefox browser. Here’s what some people have said

“Many thanks for making this extremely useful extension, specially because now Firefox 2.0 has trouble remembering adsense login info, it doesn’t even offer to remember it. Now with this amazingly simple extension, I’m logged in automatically, all the time!”

” I use this all of the time, couldn’t live without it.”
