What about Approved Comments ?

If you need me to removed any comments I will be glad to discuss it with you and with the author of the comment.

Conclusion

This is my blog and I rule … any question Any objection? Just comment. and if it is valid I will revise ……

I have seen this comment in yellow at my database : See Pictures below

More than one INDEX key was created for column `comment_approved’

Problem : When Commenting in my blog it will redirect you to 404 Page then after refreshing the page it will again go back to the page but sometime comments are not shown.

Solution : I went to Database PHP My Admin then drop the [ comment_approved_date_gmt ] & [ comment_approved ] from the following Indexes as shown in below as part of your Database wp_comments.

I am not expert in this database thing but I tried to delete one of them and there are still problems. And when I delete all index, My dashboard acts strange so as per my trial and error, dropping { or deleting } [ comment_approved_date_gmt ] & [ comment_approved ] is the best solution. If you encounter error while commenting please let me know and I will try to resolve it.

BTW I have WordPress 2.6 in my system. I believed this is some issues with some of my plug-ins. I don’t know well, at least it is fix for now.

Another way to interpret number 1 is not to rely on just one blog. Create several blogs that will cater to various income streams.

Not many know this but I actually have four blogs.

1. A static website blog that simply serves as an online store to market and sell products online and offline. Biggest income source – direct sales. 

Nice idea, I have not yet done this for now since I am abroad and I don’t know what are the goods that Arab people like to buy. PayPal is not yet well known in Saudi Arabia and I also don’t know how to be involve in their Online Market. It is what I called culture difference.

2. A crappy blog that’s dedicated to paid posts and sponsored reviews, doubles as my SEO playground. And since it’s crappy by nature, I simply grab ALL the opps I can get hold of. Hehe. Biggest income source – PPP

One way to really have an income thru blogging is making paid post. I am also doingpaid post, But most of the time I make it using direct method thru online entrepreneur that I am getting to know thru forum. Why, They don’t oblige you to say that your post is sponsored or usually I can receive money before making the post. The only disadvantage is sometimes payment is not as high as the established site. Such as SponsoredReviews.com, PayPerPost, ReviewMe.

3. A Made-For-Adsense blog that’s full of keyword-rich posts aggregated from public domain articles. This one is sooo boring to maintain, but gives good income anyway. Biggest income source – Adsense (obviously) and Kontera

Well actually those kind of site was very popular last year where there are lots of MFA site that are floating in the net. The best part of this is the Passive Income that it is giving. I also maintain some sort of blog that Fitz mentioned, For me I maintain a Song Lyrics Blogs. I also monetize it thru Kontera , Adbrite, & Adsense.

4. And a flagship blog, the one all of you guys know, where I provide the most value to the readers and I enjoy the most writing. Biggest income source – Adsense

Yup as an Online Blogger, It is always our goal to have our brand. That is why we always maintain our best site . Like me I maintain this site as my main site. This site is a semi-Tech, Blogging, SEO with a personal touch. BTW I maintain a blog and not a NEWS site. So better be happy on what you are doing and Online Money will come next. Again Thanks Fitz for sharing this info. Best of Luck to Your Finance Site.

This is also One way of thanking him for being active on commenting at my site. . I am now opening another category on this blog and call it Visitor’s Comment.

Picture is taken at Fort Santiago, Jose Rizal’s Prison, I put my signature with out knowing that I have to donate by doing so.

Disclaimer : I haven't reach the 2 digit a day on AdSense, but soon I will have it

So here are my tips for you.

1. Don’t put all eggs in one basket – This is a common tips from all online marketers. What I mean to say is don’t put all your effort in Google AdSense, There are still other source of income in web. [ This call for another post wait for it - You can see my Personal Blog for some other Make Money Online Tips - DexterPanganiban.com ]
2. If you go on Pay Per Post or Sponsored Post, don’t grab all the request, that comes from the dashboard just pick all those paid post that is related to your niche. FYI This site is also doing paid review via site that offer review with price, in fact they give more money than AdSense. Just beware of Google Penalty.
3. If you choose Google AdSense as one of your income source, Be sure to read their TOS and other guidelines about it. It will surely help you understand the do’s and don’t to avoid being banned later on. Some more tips here , here, here and here . [ Ooops lots of link ]
4. Don’t treat other blogger in your niche as competitors, treat them as friends. Even sometime they don’t seem to say hello to you, just continue of being their friend, try commenting and even linking to their site and time will come they will link to you and here you go you have one source of referral for your online goal.
5. Create an e-mail that will cater all your monetization gigs / communication, With this you will be able to track all opportunity that will come on your way.
6. Try to do SEO but please do not make any crap post for your SEO purpose. Make sure that when somebody lands on your site, They will be happy and not frustrated by seeing lots of Ads, and not the information that they need.
7. Subscribe to those site that you know will give you good information about your niche. This is the best thing to do specially whenever you want to be on top of the news around the net.
8. Engage in Direct Advertising. I am presently doing direct advertising, FYI my homepage have 4 advertisers with Text Links. I get them from Digital Point. But please control your Direct Advertisers, You should be able to anticipate the number of links that you will sold in your page. Be sure to make list of all the information of the transaction. { You may Contact me for any Advertising question thru my Contact Page }
9. Enroll in PayPal. This will be your money gateway, because most of the transaction is being made thru PayPal Philippines.
10. Don’t forget to join contest and experiment, Who knows you can get those moolah that are just floating in the net.

Wait for the next batch I still have some points in my mind. Subscribed to my Feeds or subscribe thru e-mail so not to left behind with those tips.

Picture means, This might be old tips but those old tips are the most valuable one.

Disclosure : Some links are affiliate links, Happy Blogging

So here are my Top 10 Tips :

1. Blog on niche or subject that you really know, and not those subject which to pretend to know. I can see blogs that blog about those subject that they really don’t know. They just pick information in the net and compile it on their blog. I believe it is not fair.
2. Show expertise on your niche to be able to get the trust of your reader, You must be able to answer question which pertains to your blog subject.
3. Be friendly both Offline and Online events. remember without your reader your blog is useless.Try to respond to the comments that they have written in your blog and got to their blog and comment also. You may also try to subscribe to their Feeds so that you will able to know the latest information about that blog.
4. Write for your readers and not for the Search Engine, I sometime write for search engine but I make sure that those post do not appear on the homepage. So that it will not disrupt my new visitors.
5. Learn how to make research on proper keyword to be used. As the saying goes there are many ways to cook an egg. So be sure to cook it properly and tasty.
6. Learn how to apply SEO on your post, This is most of the time being neglected. Always remember hat if you want to earn something from your online presence, Visitors coming from the Search Engine are your probable customers.
7. If you really like to blog and make a brand for your blog, why don’t you spend $10 for your domain name and some money for your host. A blog looks more professional when domain name does not come from free hosting site. And consider making a good graphics for your new blog.
8. If you are just gaining visitors and you would like to promote your blog, Be sure your blog has enough good information before you advertise or market your blog.
9. Know how to use the social book marking sites and learn to get your analytics.
10. Make a very strong Password to avoid being Hacked.

I would like to share some suggestions on how a new blogger or even an old blogger can increase the possibility of being linked by other site. And this might also be a possibility why I got recently upgraded to PR4 by Google.

• I have been joining different Group Writing Contest such as Fixing Leaking of Your Site , Graphic Design , Daily Blog Tips Project, RSS Awareness day, Digg Experience and others. Whenever the site announced those who joined their Group Writing Projects, They will surely link back to you. Choose site which does not look like a spam site. Remember Google also penalize links to bad site.
• All this writing project pertains to the subject of this blog. I am not just joining any writing project just to have back links. So when Google tries to visit those links and back links that I am receiving Google can tell that I am not just spamming.
• By Increasing comment frequency to other blogs, they will surely visit your blog and if they are interested the will give you a link love. I don’t see any problem putting your best post at the links provided when signing, although some might find it spamming. Be sure it relates to the blog post that you are commenting.
• Joining Groups and forums also helps you gain back links.
• Advertise your blog for free

Here are other linking strategy that I made for this blog which I would like to share to all of you.

• Make no-follow attribute to site which you think doesn’t need your link love.
• Make your homepage to have all no-follow, Try to search for a plug-in for this one.
• I have also made some tips regarding better way of linking to your old post.
• Make “me” rel Tag of all your social book marking site, See my footer to know what I mean.
• Doing SEO without sacrificing the authority of the site, So the homepage will not show any topics that does relate to my niche.

I just hope that those above information will help you increase your back links and later increase your PR, As of today I have 1014 Blog reactions as shown in Technorati.com Home Page this might not be very high but still good if you find it good don’t forget to sign in my feeds either thru RSS Feed reader or by e-mail

First we have to establish your goal in writing. What is your goal while writing, Is it because of fame and be know in your niche later or is it because you want to earn. ?

Based on my observation, When you provide complete information in your content it is unlikely to have an advertisers click from your visitors. The visitors tend to click the “X” mark at the right and then go away and forget your site. Which is the reality.

So I believe that adding some space for additional information about the subject makes visitors to roam around your site. It also gives possible click in your Advertiser’s Ads.

But if you would like to be known as expert in your field in which later on you will harvest the fruits. I would suggest to make quality and long articles the describes fully about the subject. And just wait to increase readership and accept direct advertisers that will pay Cost per CPM.

Some says that small articles will not be SEO Friendly. But on the other hand I have been noticing that some small post tops at the SERP. It is because they have a good link building strategy.

Do you have any ideas regarding this subject let me know your ideas by commenting. And if we can get good results I will post it here and you will have a back link. but the choice is mine.

Who is Malu Fernandez ?

She is a journalist who believes in her freedom of speech and believes that she can say anything in Public. She is a famous Buzz maker in Philippine Blogosphere. At First she made a very bad comment regarding Filipino OFW that made her popular in the net. Well actually I don’t know her, not until she make those statement last year.

So what is the Buzz ?

And now Malu Fernandez did it again by commenting about bloggers. According to her comments : ( via Connie )

The difference between a journalist and a blogger is that journalists have to adhere to certain guidelines that govern the freedom of speech. And whatever a journalist chooses to write about—be it popular or unpopular—we do not hide behind an anonymous name and are resigned to the fact that we have to take as much as we dish out.

I really agree that Journalist and bloggers are different. Because bloggers are practicing the freedom of speech. As Bloggers we don’t have Supervisors or editors to edit our write ups. Blogging is an expression of oneself. I as a blogger do not hide my identity you can always check my identity thru my about page for that matter.

But blogging, aside from Perez Hilton and the other big time bloggers (you know who you are) is for me a slacker job or a medium and pastime for lonely people to connect.

Well first of all not all blogger thinks blog as a source of income. Some blog their experience and knowledge just because they want to share their opinion in public. And some blog for fame. And Malu Fernandez is right that some blogs for monetization. Well for me I do both. I am monetizing thru different advertisers. I have to pay for hosting fee and other fee like my domain name and others blog expenses, not to mention my photography hobby.

My Opinion & Observation

I am just thinking if Malu Fernandez doesn’t have any job at Manila Standard. Will she be a blogger? I think so , because she knows how to be popular and make the blogosphere heat up . I may say that she has a good technique and a traits of a Master Link Baiter. I agree with Abe she should be nominated as Master Link Baiter of 2008.
