Growing Crops Versus Blogging As An Investment

It is a busy Kamila, but not blogging right now. Funny though, even though she hasn't blogged for a few weeks the traffic she get is still running really well. Kamila understand that many loyal EC and Adgitise friends remain dropping on her event hough she hasn't had the time to reciprocate for a while and this is appreciated.

A question that cam into Kamila's mind recently is how long would it take for you Google ranking to drop if you suddenly stop blogging for a while? She know many blogs that haven't had any new postings for over six months yet they still hold a high Google PR. Surely Google must weigh this up and take account for it, or is the traffic still high on these static blogs through links that this is more of a major weight on PR?

It iw not that Kamila is going AWOL for six months but she is taking a little backwater time now spring is here and the manual work really begins off line. After all, investment in the spring and summer pay off with produce food for the next winter. Sometimes Kamila thinks that the time invested in farming crops is a more effective form of return than blogging! How much is a kilogram of tomatoes grown worth compared to earnings from Adsense or Project Wonderful, no competition the tomatoes win hands down!

So making money by blogging out of the growing season makes sense, but to be stuck in front of a laptop with the sun shining on the land waiting to be sown with seeds is not financially prudent. Perhaps this may give other bloggers tied to their blogs a little thought.

Paid Blog Reviews That Don't Discriminate Against Low Google PR

Kamila has found herself being penalised for having a Google PR of '0' by both Blog Reviews and Pay Per Post, that is bar the $1 and sub $1 offers which Kamila refuse to entertain on principle of being manipulated. There are no earning now forthcoming form this kind of venture and her earning are no solely from Adgitize, CMF, Project Wonderful and Google Adsense. Apart from Adgitize who wins by a mile in payout and traffic, (see Kamila’s last post), the rest just pay nominal especially is you pay for additional ads in return which Kamila does.

There are for course the Kamila competition entries, but this is not for money, but for back links, prizes that she has no control over and of course a great deal of luck which she cant’ rely on. This now leads to a question from Kamila to other fellow bloggers. This question is:

Does anyone know of companies that pay for blog reviews from a blogspot sub domain blogger that doesn’t take Google PR into account?

I’m sure there are literally hundreds of others who would like to know. Kamila understands that if there are bloggers who use such a pay review system they might want to dissuade other members to sign up that would increase competition. But then there might be a referral reward in place, if so Kamila would of course quote the referrer in every case.

“Thanks for your help in advance,” says Kamila

Winding Down For The Weekend - Not Kamila!

Winding down the week is never the case for Kamila. She always likes to make sure she can enjoy the weekend with the knowledge that she has earned her rest. Friday is a day where she can have a work surge in effort and sign off the evening tired. The tired feeling is a good one, as then she will be looking forward to the relaxation that following two days called “The weekend.”

Today the surge was on Entrecard drops. She has been dropping regularly, but the droppers on her have remains static, so Kamila decided to have a spurge to try and get some more that will exchange more often. Also, she has put in a few more directory listings, boring work, but pays dividends in the long run.

Also Kamila has noticed that her Project Wonderful sponsors have been upping the bids somewhat. She is not quite sure why as her traffic hasn’t increased substantially and that’s what most sponsor bid on.

Anyway, a tired Kamila will sleep well tonight and tomorrow she is to have two days in a row off. No point in scraping the bottom of the energy barrel.

“Enjoy your weekend!” Says Kamila.

Earning Money From Project Wonderful - An Excellent Start

Kamila is over the moon over these last few days as she is now seeing some success in her earning even at this early stage. She had joined up with Project Wonderful recently, you may wish to see the post all about Project Wonderful and now is earning money from it. In fact more money than she's thought she'd get.

Kamila would like to say a big thank you to Countrylady at artfire.com for putting in the current highest bid on her site and hope that she contiunue to sponsor her here. Countrylady has some nice things for sale on her site called Homespun Alley, you might want ot have little look. Kamila was impressed and particulary liked the vintage stuffed rocking horse pattern that is on offer.

There have been a few bloggers that have responded to Kamila's last post where she asked for friends to join in a mutual entrecard swap, This is a great start, but Kamila would like to see more. Right now Kamila is only dropping around 10 a day to just to her entrecard friends she knows. This is beacuse firstly it is difficult to drop with camel hoofs designed for walking on sand rather than entrecard dropping and secondly, she would rather spend time outside helping with growing the vegetables in this warm spring weather.

Project Wonderful - We'll See

Well Kamila has been doing her homework and decided that she likes the idea of people bidding for an ad on her site. She knows it might only be a couple of cents, but it is a start and not difficult to set up.

All she did was fill in a simple online application form to sign up, waited for a reply then just set up a wdiget giving her blog details in the process.

Kamila decided to just put on a single 125 x 125 box on her blog, she did have the option to put up to five, but she'll to see how things go with one right now.

These are exciting times for Kamila who now hopes that people will bid on her blog and make a stepping stone to going her own way financially in Bulgaria.
