Is This a Joke?

2009-07-02T16:40:00.001+01:00

Today I got a mail from google saying that my blog has been identified as a spam blog! Is this a joke? This blog earns me highest adsense from google and I provide links to many of my old posts while applying for a content writing job. I haven't been active on blogger for quite sometime now, but that doesnt make my blog a spam blog. I don't know what gave them such an idea.

New Bloggers Should Stick to Google Adsense than Making the Site an Affiliate Farm

2009-03-01T08:12:00.004Z

Let me tell you a secret about my affiliate marketing campaigns, I haven't made a single penny till date from my affiliate links. I must confess that I haven't done much with the affiliate links except putting the links in the sidebar or writing a post or two about some special affiliate product. My personal experience is that you need to have a niche site and not a blog to make money from

A Surprise for Him this Valentine's Day

2009-02-13T23:05:00.005Z

I am not as romantic as my husband. Generally the onus of celebrating special days like anniversary, birthdays, Valentine's Day and arranging giftslie on him. I remember two years back I was struggling alone in a new city with a new job ( Hubby was in UK), he sent me a very pretty 22 carat gold necklace on Valentine's Day. I have always worn it since. I have been thinking about what to gift him

A Struggling Writer? Try Triond

2009-02-07T06:27:00.004Z

I have been with Triond since September 2007. Triond is a site that pays you to write original articles. They pay according to the number of page views your article gets. The pay is miserably low ( I am talking about my articles, you can earn a lot if you are talented:), but they are very punctual in their payments. Every 15th of the month I get whatever pennies I earned the previous month. You

Why didn't I think of it before!

2009-01-24T20:25:00.002Z

I was going crazy as my forgetful husband has misplaced the USB cable of our camera. I haven't been able to upload photos since I started blogging again. Its very frustrating when you are not able to include the pics in your posts and you have to wait for ages for them to be delivered. Today, out of the blue I got the idea that I can take snaps from my husband's cell phone! It was such an obvious

What's Happened?

2008-12-27T07:54:00.002Z

I am back. It feels good ( not great). It's been nearly six months since my last post. I didn't have time or access to work on net. Now when I am back with my husband here in UK, I don't feel the urge to write. As if all the thoughts have gone out of my mind. The worst thing is that I am on the net 24/7, still I don't feel like blogging. I was thinking of improving my typing ( write without

Make money From Social Bookmarking Sites

2008-06-22T17:23:00.002+01:00

There are virtually hundreds of sites that share adsense revenue with you if you become their member. Most of them require you to write articles or pots or blogs. I don't quite endorse such sites. If I have to work to create good content, then I would put it on my own blog where all the revenue generated through clicks will be mine. Why should I create content for others and get paid in pennies?

Beautiful Wordpress Themes Converted into Blogger, Blogspot

2008-06-22T08:52:00.017+01:00

Most of the bloggers would agree that wordpress is far better than blogger when it comes to sleek and professional looking templates.

A Tug of War for Charity

2008-06-18T20:03:00.006+01:00

This was fourth annual Tug of War being organised by Branando's. Scottish conservatives have won last three competitions. We came across it just by chance. I and Ananya had gone for a walk in Holyrood Park and there we saw a crowd assembled near a tent. We went there out of curiousity and found out that people are getting ready for Tug of war. I ran home along with Ananya to get my camera.Here

A Christine Dior for my Daughter

2008-06-17T20:41:00.004+01:00

My husband hit a jackpot today and that too unknowingly. He had taken our daughter to the park near our old flat. There is a Bethany shop there. My husband is in a habit of rummageing through the stuff there and always buys things which we don't need. His excuse: They were so cheap. As a result, I have a collection of children books, video cassetes, shoes and suitcases of all sizes.Last weekend

Do I need a Disability Insurance?

2008-06-17T19:46:00.005+01:00

If you had asked me this question a few days ago, my answer would have been a definite NO, why would I need a disability insurance? I am perfectly fit and there is nothing wrong with me. But yesterday I talked to my father, and this conversation changed my perspective towards disability insurance. My father is a phisician, a sugeon to be more precise. He told me that he is thinking of hanging his

A Handy Directory

2008-06-17T11:46:00.007+01:00

This is a review of a very extensive and exhaustive directory of Costa Rica. It benefits both to the visitors and to the businesses. Businesses get a space in the lists at a nominal $4.95/month. Where as tourists don't have to wander on the street from one street to another for that necessary hair cut or a pair of shoes. I wouldn't mind having a look at some of the book stores listed here.From

Another Run of the Mill, Make Money Program? I Don't Think So

2008-06-16T08:11:00.000+01:00

I learned about a new affiliate site on bloggeries forum. Its called Moreniche. I have joined a few affiliate programs earlier too, but I never wrote about them. Then what's so special about Moreniche? Simple, It worked for me. I haven't had any luck with sales on other affiliate programs, so there was no use writing about them. I have not sold a single banner at Moreniche too, but I have got a

I am afraid to do PhD

2008-06-16T07:47:00.004+01:00

My husband is after me to apply for research scholarship. I am not too keen on that as I already have enough academic problems at hand, without the added burden of searching for the topic, looking for guides and then typing thousands of paper for dissertations. I have seen many of my friends go through all the minor and major corrections before their dissertation is finally approved. You have to
