Kamila Opts Back Into AdSense Mode For Good Reason

It has been a month now with Adbrite and Kamila is not happy at all with either the funds she gets or some of the ads that are put on there. At time there was impromptu ads that popped up and readers had to click on the top right hand side to get rid of it. Kamila humbly apologises for this. She did actually opt out of that kind of ad on application, but it obviously got through somehow.

It is now back on home ground to good old AdSense. She may only get a few cents a day, but at least the ads are reliable and there is a chance of a bigger funds from clicks every now and again. With Adbrite it was 1 cent a day and that wasn’t going to improve.

Kamila knew that you need lots of traffic to attract ads that pay more and that just wasn’t going to happen with Adbrite.

“Oh well!” says Kamila, “At least I tried.”

Entrecard Credits For Top Ten Droppers From July

Kamila has decided to make an offer to Entrecard users and after much deliberation decided that the most loyal of droppers should be rewarded for their time, kindness and thought.

As from the coming month of July and every month thereon Kamila will be awarding 100 ECs for the top ten droppers and a gifting a whopping 300 ECs for the blogger in the number one spot. She is basically giving away 1200 ECs each month.

In addition to this she will be adding the top ten droppers to her favourites (unless they are already there of course) and subsequently plan to drop on them every day. This is something she does already with June’s top ten droppers anyway.

Kamila is very happy to do this, as she is not only a caring camel, but also a generous one.

Here are Kamila's Entrecard Dropping Heroes for June:

Dropper	Number of drops
Entreblogger	28
Winesworld's blog	28
Anything Goes W/ Pahn	27
Bulgarian Scrapbook	26
Doing Business	25
Daisy the Curly Cat	22
West of Mars - the Meet and Greet	22
Septagon Studios Indie Comic Blog	22
The Sewing Mom	21
Split Rock Ranch	21

"Have a good July everyone!" says Kamila.

Kamila Secures Another PR5 Back Link

Kamila always has that ‘feel good factor’ when she submits here blog into a directory and gets accepted. Today is one of those days and it is an even better feeling know that the directory called the Super Blog directory is a PR5.

Many directories just accept Kamila blog link without much vetting, surely that is a sign that the directory doesn‘t care too much about quality blogs it lists. Kamila still applies for all directories she can lay her hands on, but quality directories are more likely to get you visitors.

It is always in Kamila’s mind that all this work will pay dividends later in the years when Google see the array of high ranking back-links she has accumulated. As Kamila has said before, it is all about doing a little each day rather than sporadic cramming. She is right you know!

There are simple little tips to get you further up the Google search engine rankings, which Kamila found out the other day. She knows of course that there is 101 ways where you can improve in this area, but “Cairo wasn’t built in a day,” as Kamila says.

Kamila found out that the tips to get further up the list of Google search engine ranking is really easy to do. Kamila being a kind and generous camel is going to give a five-tip list for others:

1. The title of a post should have keywords in it.
2. The keywords should be written up and labelled in the tag section.
3. Key words should be mentioned in the first couple of sentences and spread out in other places in the post.
4. Mark these key words bold to give them more weighting in Google’s eyes.
5. If you have any pictures in your post, look for it in the HTML version of the post. Then look for alt="" and post the title in between the inverted commas e.g. alt=”copy and paste you title here”.
   

Most bloggers know about this and practice, but many don’t including Kamila up until now. This is all new to her and another step along the way of becoming a more successful camel blogger. She just didn’t know that these little tips would make a big difference to the way Google look at her posts.


“Happy SEOing!” says Kamila.

Kamila Remains A Blogspot Blogger

Kamila has decided to remain under the blogspot banner. This wasn’t an easy decision and it was based on the fact that she has seen many other esteemed bloggers happily running blogs on the same format. At the end of the day a re-run of building up her PR from scratch and looking many back links is a step too far and she does intend to become a blogging empire. She just wants to earn a few dollars a day to help out the Bulgarian family she lives with. What she should have done was get her own domain when starting up, that is the advice that comes out loud and clear from more experienced bloggers.

So, Kamila is not changing anything right now and is quite content with that.

On another front, Kamila tried out the ‘Entrebar’ system where you can drop from a menu bar without having to go into the Entrecard site. She found it useful but there were little bugs in the system that caused the bar to mix up with the existing navigation bar when not actively in use. Also she couldn’t drop on cards that had been dropped on her from the day before. As the new day starts at 7:00 in the morning in Bulgaria, Kamila likes to do her drops just after the day kicks in and there are only a couple of droppers for that new day. She doesn’t like the idea of dropping in the evening as she joins the Bulgarian family outside each evening. With this in mind she does not use the system, but feels it would be good for others who have different routines.

“Have a lovely weekend,” says Kamila.

Own Weblog Domain? - Yes Or No?

Carrying on using the free blogspot or whether to get her own domain is in Kamila’s mind right now. There is a dilemma in her mind and she has to weigh up the reasons for and the reasons against to make take or not take that step.

Kamila is a camel blogger who is wising up slowly, but right at this moment in time she doesn’t really know that much about blogging and SEO. She is on a steep learning curve and has made quite a few mistakes to date, but has learnt from them.

Getting her own domain should have been done when she first started blogging, but she didn’t know this at the time. A cost of around $10 a year is all it would have cost, but it would have given her more pay per post jobs wither own domain and paid that after just a couple of posts.

Changing to her own domain now can be done at the click of a mouse but she will start off again with a PR0 and all her links will have to start from scratch again. Fair do, all her traffic will be redirected to her new domain and her site will have more credibility with the shorter title.

“Mmmm,” we hear Kamila murmor as she ponders the thought of the work that will be needed to bring it back to the level where she stands right now.

Decisions are hard for Kamila as she seeks advice from other bloggers on this one.

“Any advice on this one would be gratefully received!” says Kamila.
