I just upgraded to WordPress 2.8.6 which is a securityy update.

The first problem is an XSS vulnerability in Press This discovered by Benjamin Flesch. The second problem, discovered by Dawid Golunski, is an issue with sanitizing uploaded file names that can be exploited in certain Apache configurations.

Download it here or just wait for  your dashboard to show upgrade button.

I am researching on this sitemap things and lots of website have different type of sitemap post frequency. I wander what will be the best one to implement in this blog. ? Any suggestion ? Need to research more about it..

As what I have told you the other day about increasing my traffic , I will do some optimization for this blog for the next few days. To those who knows my Tech Blog { Tech at Hand Dot Net } You probably know that I love experimentation. So This is my benchmark before I proceed to Optimization :

So the above graph shows my last 9 days traffic which have a 30 Unique visit as it’s highest visit. { I know it is really low that is why I want to do something about it }

This is a challenge for me to increase my unique visitors from 30 to 100 then to 500 then to 1000 … when will attain it ? I do not know. I think this site is not in focus into any definite subject that is why the traffic is not that high compared to my other niche blog.

Of course I will be needing help from other blogger via links exchanges or link bait , and from my other blogs.

I have 93 fans from face book and I am presently # 462 in Topblogs.com.ph at Personal – Top Blogs Philippines.

I need to research some Keywords that will be suitable for a Personal blog like this. . Then when the traffic increases I will try to modify the Google AdSense and other Ads in this blog.

For the record this blog earns $ 0.39 this November 2009 for 9 days for only 1 link units at the header part.

SO this stats is being presented as my benchmark for my future reference for traffic and earnings of this blog.

It’s been a long time that this site is existing , But in reality I am not making any effort in increasing my visitors since all my effort is focused in my other blogs where I make money thru keywords hijacking.
Anyway I think it is only time to focused my link building and keywords research that will suit in this blog. I need to gain traffic here so that I could increase my Passive income. I will show you the traffic tomorrow and let us see the difference after 1 month .
I would like to test my SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) and Traffic strategy in new blogs like this I hope it will also be successful like my other blogs.
Let us see If I can really make money thru this blog.

If you are looking for ways to have Google Adsense Alternative, One of the best way to go is thru Bidbvertiser { Affiliate Links } , Bidvertiser uses the same format as Google Adsense, The only difference is when you activate adsense in your blog there are already lots of Advertiser into it while Bidvertiser upon activated shows a question ” You Ad Here for Free ..” , You may not see Bidvertiser in this blog but I use it in some of my blogs. I think if it is properly optimized in terms of it’s location , that Bidbvertiser { Affiliate Links } will be a great Google Adsense Alternative.

There are also time that CPC ( Cost per click ) of Bidvertiser is higher than Adsense. But that is seldom.

This is also great if Google Adsense ban you for no reason at all.

Among all of my online ventures and Making money online schemes it is always Chitika who is paying the earliest every month. I got a $ 23.11 yesterday for not doing anything but just to put the codes in some of my blogs. Perhaps some of my readers did not notice that my blogs are also serving Chitika in addition to Google Adsense Ads, It is because the ads is only showing if a visitors from US or other countries like europe visited my site.

So again thanks Chitika for paying always. BTW I i have received a total of $99.68,  from them, and what is good from the system is they are paying even if you got only $10.00 in a month. They are paying thru Paypal which is great for me. and they don’t charge you for sending payment thru paypal. Not like Adsense where I have to pay $ 24 everytime they sned the cheque to me.

I will make tips about Chitika in future. Just need to finish some other business.

{ Disclosure : Links are Affiliate links }

All I can say is Bye for Now to Picadmedia.com , after 3 weeks of testing i have only gain about $ 0.76 for a total of 25 days, I installed the script at my tech and seo blog Tech At Hand Dot Net , and I can say that it did not succeed. That testing might affect the Adsense Earnings in a way.

So yesterday I have decided to leave the advertising Platform for now.

Earning is not good since the advertising type is new in the net and there are only few advertisers that are putting their investment in the system. Picadmedia.com has now been redirected to other domain name imagespacemedia.com .

We will see in the future if they can make it , maybe by that time I will try again their system.  I have told you before that I love to experiment .

I finally got Samsung LA40B550 Series 5 – 40inch Full HD LCD TV , Thanks God that He have blessed me thru Google AdSense Earnings so that I am able to buy this gadget that I want. Remember I blog before that I will buy 32” LCD TV but since the budget permits to buy 40 and so I decided to get a bigger one. 

More Pictures at our Gallery { Samsung Series 5 – 40” LCD TV } so watch for my review at my Tech Blog.

And my answer is YES,  I don’t mind linking to new bloggers as long as they are worthy to link. I don’t care about the PR but what I care is gaining new friends and gaining new contacts that may help me in the future. Those new bloggers might also be known in the blogosphere and their blogs might rank higher than mine in my chosen keywords someday. By linking to them I am also investing on something that I may reap in future.

I hate having crab mentality, which means that we only need to get exchange links from known bloggers, Because I believe that those bloggers have also started from being small. Except of course those celebrities who started their own blog after they become celebrities.  BTW how sure are we that they are really the one whose maintaining the blogs?

John Chow is typical person who links to those new blogs and been penalized by Google for having a keyword manipulation about making money online. In an SEO Point of view I would suggest having a varying keywords to target and don’t just focus into 1 keywords. Google could always ban you for a keywords without any explanation. So better target other keywords that are related to your niche and start building links.

I just received a question by one of my readers : Do I Need to Make Blog Before Earning Online ? { Making Money Online } and here is my response to this question.

It depends on what type of Make Money Online Strategy an individual is going to make, if a wannabe Internet Marketer does not want to create his own blog or website ,  He can still earn by going to site where they are looking for writers , programmers , developers etc. , You can start by searching Google for keywords such as “ Online Jobs ” ,  “Hiring Writers “, “Hiring encoders” etc, You can also enroll in site like odesk { a site that is outsourcing free lancers – I have not tried doin bussiness in odesk but I have heard good earning opportunities in there for free lancers } .

On the other hand if you like to build your own website or blog ( you can use www.blogspot.com as start and if you want to have your own site you can also check Dreamhost ) , there will be more opportunity of earning such as being enrolled to a CPC ( Cost per Click )  site like Google Adsense {where in you have to put the codes that they will give in your site }  Other site like Adbrite , Infolinks, Kontera, Chitika have almost the same function .

You could also be an affiliate marketer where in you have to make small sites where you need to promote your landing page and make a sale out of it.

I can say that the 2 last method of earning needs a lot of time a nd patience before you could earn a good amount from Online money. It is suggested to enroll in  Paypal that you can use in receiving payments from money online.
