Blog Monetization Trends and How You Can Duplicate These 2: US and European Blog Scene

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Blog Tutorials News, Monetization, Opinion, Tips While we are on the subject of blogging trends and how you can maximize earning from your blogs, I just want to share my observations on the blogging scene in the US and Europe, as I’ve seen so far. Locally, blogs are not regarded as an authoritative source of information. On the contrary, in the US and Europe, I noticed that blogs are fast replacing newspapers as sources of information. In my stumbling and bumbling around the Internet, I had noticed that the European websites I’ve gone to usually involved technology and downloads, and I’ve noticed that the Europeans seemed to be more concerned with political issues.

My Blogging Pet Peeves

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Opinion Like anything else in life, in the blogging world, there are pet peeves. I’m sure you have them, like I do. While writing posts for this blog, I saw this comment that led to a “scraper site”. You know, those blogs that scrape content from other people because the said blog is run by some script that, as a friend told me, would create dozens of Wordpress-based sites at the push of a button? How dumb. I know that all they’re in for is some AdSense bucks like me, but do they have to resort to filching my work?

My Blogging Habits

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Writing Blogging is essentially writing, only that it’s an Internet-based medium, and you have the option to give a little link lovin’. :p Plus, you get to format your post on your own, and if you have your own blog, you get to format it yourself, blahblahblah. Today’s post will be about my personal blogging habits. As I said, I am stricken with verbal diarrhea and an overactive mind. I cannot live a single day without needing to write something. Yes, there were points that I had to take time off blogging or writing, but those were because I was spiritually sick and even dying. But in general, I am so brimming with ideas that I have to

My {Dummy} Elementary Analysis on the Google Ad System :p

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Monetization Warning, this is a Dummy(GeekGurl)’s elementary analysis of the Google Ads system. Feel free to correct me. :p Of my favorite things about Google, it must be the Google Ads system that made me most impressed about Google as a company. Though Yahoo has Yahoo! Search Marketing, it has never approached the relevance and the importance of Google AdSense in the field of Search Engine Marketing. Through Google AdSense, Internet Marketers were able to gain a passive income stream that augments their online income. In fact, it had become the bread and butter for some other Internet Marketers.

Blog Economics 101: Cutting Costs

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Blog Tutorial, Monetization Today, I blogged the entire day away.. Literally. From 10 in the morning down to 7 in the evening, I had blogged away. Well, I didn’t write all that much as much as I was setting up blogs like crazy. I had seen how my AdSense revenue had shot up when I added AdSense to my long-time personal-turned-monetized blog. Well, “shot up” in my definition is jumping from $0.56 up to $9.10 in a little over two months. My AdSense credits had stayed in the cents level since I set up my Google AdSense accounts in October 2006. It was only last week when it had reached $9.10. Small feat it may be to the blog veterans on here, but to me that was already an achievement! And my milestone has inspired me to do more. My AdSense journey is just beginning, and I am looking forward to applying the ideas I have learned in this past year of just observing my bosses and taking in everything I have been exposed to so far. But I digress from what I intended to write on. Today, I will discuss ways in which you can cut blogging and advertising costs.

Hello Blog-Tutorials!

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Opinion

Hello-o-o, Blog-Tutorials.com! (Imagine me say “hello-o-o-o” like the Warners in Animaniacs. :p) Well, hello readers and fellow bloggers, anyway. :) I’m DummyGeekGurl on Gazooki, and the former Diva in Non-Havaianas Rubber Slippers up on Froodee. Though the admin truncated my name up on the links list as just “Diva.” I'm now posting as myself on Froodee. :) I had been longing, for such a long time, to get into this blog. And now I have. The heavens have surely opened up!
