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.

BLOGGERS BEWARE- Don't Use BLOGADVERTISINGSTORE

Kamila is perhaps too trusting a camel and this is not a good thing to be if you are a blogger who writes up sponsored reviews. Her outlook now to paid post reviews is certainly painted with a coat of inquiries before taking any on now. So why is this Kamila I hear you all ask?

Kamila states simply that you should not use the Blog Review Company Blogadvertisingstore, they are criminals and prey on people who need the money from reviews. Kamila is more than upset with the as they owe her well over $100 and have closed her account because of this.

It has taken Kamila and her team a year to build up $98 from various reviews and she was looking forward to going over the $100 mark which according to the conditions set was the payout level. The blog assignment was completed in the same manner as all the other blog assignments, but was not accepted due to not complying with a few reasons give. The reasons given were vague and Kamila was sure she had adhered to them all and rather than debate it wrote another review. This second paid review was then also not accepted and Kamila had seeds of doubt knowing that the reviews were accepted she was due the funds she had worked so long and hard to earn.

A Third review was written and after a week Kamila knew it would not be accepted and after had not heard whether it had been approved she tried to log into here account but found that her account had been deleted! It was at this point Kamila knew that she had been conned and a fellow Entrecard member also confirmed that the same thing happened to them.

As it stands Kamila has abided by the contract set out and earned over $100 which is owing. She has no way of getting this without incurring cost through legal sources. The company will not reply to messages. Livid is an understatement when someone STEALS money that was being relied on to help with winter fuel bills!

Kamila warns people not to use this company and don't write any further reviews for them, you will not see a cent of the money that is building up.

Kamila says, "DON'T USE BLOGADVERTISINGSTORE!"

Kamila On The HTML Tweaking Road

Kamila has this idea that she should know more about HTML code. The reason is quite simple, she want to make her blog a bit more individual and she feels that there are many other bloggers out there who want to do the the same but just don't know where to start..

It is a proud Kamila that looks at her blog and has got away form the 'blogger' standard format. It took a lot of time and effort do and even without any knowledge of HTML code, with just copying and pasting code that she didn't have a clue as to the meaning of, worked. Although Kamila's blog template now is different it still isn't very individual enough for her liking. She would like to put some graphics or pictures in the heading but this is far too complicated right now and of course tie consuming. She has however managed to change the text colour and the background colours. this is just the start she feels as she learns more each week.

Without a little tutorial Kamila wouldn't have manage anything. she now has found a site that gives everything she needs to know about HTML codes yet it explains it in simple laycamel terms. You may be thinking this is a sponsored post by Kamila, but it is not. She has used w3schools.com over the past few days and found it more than useful to tweak her blog. Just as an example with the colour changes, she just went to the site section hat gave the HTML colour codes then copied and pasted on her HTML template where she found different colour codes already in place. By using the preview option she could easily see whether she liked it before saving. She did of course save her template code by downloading it then uploading this in case things went pear shaped.

This is the start of something quite exciting for Kamila as she takes another step forward in blogging technique. She invites anyone to have the confidence to try it out, it really is quite easy and fun.

Kamila says, "Happy HTML Tweaking"

Blogsvertise Help Pay For Blogging

Over the past year Kamila and her team have been writing paid reviews to supplement their income and help pay the overheads that are incurred in blogging. This included paying for a monthly internet service at 22 BGN leva per month, paying for the subscription fees for web servers and web domain, the electric that is used and of course the time spent blogging.

Most paid review organisations are a bit erratic but it has come to pass that one paid review site comes up with the good it originally advertise in trying to get blogger and advertisers to use them. Kamila being a blogger can obviously only see the bloggers side of the organisation. Over the year the earning made from Blogsvertise is US$116.50. This amount was made only by selecting assignments that were in common with the blogs that they were offered too. Taking all assignments offered this figure would be in excess of US$300! The US$116.50 makes a great dent into the covering of overheads of blogging from this one site alone.

Kamila cannot find fault with Blogsvertise, they regularly come up with assignments that can be taken or left without prejudice and pay monthly regularly as clockwork. The fees range from US$7 to US$12.50 per paid review and you get that amount rather then a third being taken off as commission – this is how it should be.

If there is a problem with the paid review post they let you know where the problem lies straight away, so you can edit and reapply the post. This is invaluable for dyslexics and we have one who writes in the team. And with payment direct into you Pay pal account it couldn’t be simpler.

Kamila is now waiting for Christmas to happen here in Bulgaria and will probably have four days of family parties knowing that paid reviews will be waiting in the New Year to be able to continue blogging and of course now with pictures as a digital camera has been purchased thanks to two very kind donations made by bloggers.

Kamila Recommends Ezine Articles - Nothing But Good From It

Kamila saw the first snow of the year this weekend something she is still getting used to in Bulgaria. Pretty it is, but quite inconvenient for planting garlic sets that was planned this weekend. So it was back to blogging offline with her thinking cap on.

There is a very useful article directory that has been of great benefit to Kamila’s team and blogs that she is associated with. Ezine Articles has already awarded an Expert Author to Slivatree, which is the webmaster's pen name for over least 13 blogs! Ezine Articles are stricter about the content of articles than many other similar sites. This thorough vetting process gives the site more credibility and the readers who use it to search for articles more confidence that they can guarantee a well written article when looking up subjects or topics.

Kamila has been a member of Ezine for well over a year now approaching 100 articles with juicy back links. The traffic generated from this is substantial and consistent and of course a new breed of reader other than Entrecard and Adgitize who drop and run in the main. The hits you get are from readers who want to read you article and if they like it visit the course (you blog site) for more.

The secret of generating more traffic with Ezine Articles is easy, but it has to be word and grammar perfect and the topics you write about have to be respectful and have constructive format. Kamila had one rejected recently on a shopping review - it was refused because it wasn’t a positive review.

It takes around five minutes from taking a post you might just have written (it has to be 250+ words) and pasting it as a submitted article. Well worth taking the time to do this and build up a repertoire or articles that will help you blog become more popular. Kamila reminds you that once it is accepted (takes around 5-7 days) it will work for you forever.

“That’s all for today folks,” says Kamila as her attention turns back to the novelty of the snow that is still falling.

Hibernation? - Not With Blogging

Yambol's St Nicholas Church

Kamila took a break this weekend, she didn’t go to the village but stayed in town of Yambol with friends who she hadn’t seen for ages. A late night Saturday saw Sunday curtailed with a lie in until midday and why not? Winter here in Bulgaria is all about recovering from the spring, summer and autumn preceding it. It is non-stop for nine months of the year and the period of semi- hibernation has to happen as he batteries need recharging.

It is a tired camel who has not only been blogging but working really hard to survive the coming winter with food and finance for the bills that naturally rise during this season of cold.

The blogging will continue throughout the winter with the hope of a competition or tow that she can win. Currently Kamila is in two minds whether to subscribe to Adgitize this month. She and here team earned just under the $24 dollar that was paid, it is a great return for the traffic that is generated, but the fee could more than cover filling a bottle of gas for heating for a month which is more important than near on a 100 visits each day from the traffic generated advertising. She will decide when the request comes in a week or so.

Entrecard is still going strong, Kamila drops on about 30 a day, time is a big problem with this and she is just on tick over right now. She always drops on those who drop on her, that’s only fair.

Finally, Kamila helped out on a new blogger template on one of her team member’s blog ‘Dosh For U’. We are all very pleased with the result although it is not quite finalised yet. It took a whole afternoon and evening. Kamila invites you to look at the result on the link given.

Kamila Looking At a New Blog Face

Not a week goes by when Kamila looks at how things are going with her blog and reflects on how it can improve. She is not just talking about increased traffic but the overall way her blog looks. It may seem ‘okay’ for new visitors, but to those who visit regularly perhaps it has become to static and needs a new look or style.

Being a ‘blogger’ blogger and on a free web host service the things she can do to spic up her site are surprisingly quite diverse. Kamila found that she can completely change the look of her blog, have sub-menus and broaden her whole blog outlook by using other Blogger designed formats from web designers who are giving them away free. There are hundreds of them to choose from and most absolutely free, albeit the designers name has to be at the foot of the home page – fair do. (E.g. iblogerz.blogspot.com)

With most of these new designs you have to save all you ‘extra add on’ bits and load in again onto the new format. Kamila just doesn’t feel confident enough to do this just yet, but might just experiment with a test site from Blogger. It is free do so she has nothing to lose.

On another front Kamila is also looking at how things are at home in Egypt. The reason was she saw a documentary all about her homeland on television the other day. She still feels that she is indeed fortunate not to be a camel carrier this is a hard life for a camel. She’d much rather be in Bulgaria as a blogging camel writing about it.

Kamila says “ I hope your December is a happy and joyful one!”

Another $100 From AdSense Due Before Christmas

Day to day is how Kamila is taking thing right now. Who knows what will happen in the future is the though that is fixed in her mid this weekend as she takes a couple of days break from blogging. Who would have thought Kamila would have ended up in Bulgaria as a blogger two years ago?

AdSense came to mind as Kamila’s mind wandered into money making ideas. This week saw the AdSense account nudge over $100 and therefore a payment is due through Western Union before Christmas. What great timing! This is the second $100 plus payment by AdSense over the year and of course once set up is a passive form of earning. Kamila knows that on average only a few cents a day are made, it can be 10 days on occasions where nothing is earned then suddenly $2-3 dollars are made in a day!

Not being an expert by any means on AdSense, Kamila knows that is she took the AdSense tips that are given on many money making blogs she could make a bit more out of it. This does mean that she would be writing centring on AdSense keywords rather than having a free hand and free willed. But on the other hand what is she doing when she write paid reviews anyway? It is no different and of course Google don’t look as serious at directed key-worded AdSense posting.

Kamila did dabble with AdBrite but found that this really didn’t make any money at all and the ads were a bit naughty on occasions. So she stuck with AdSense and of course has built up a little money for Christmas not for present, but to cover fuel for heating.

Kamila says, "Well worth the wait from AdSense!"

Kamila Is Over The Moon With A PR3, But Only For A Moment

Kamila couldn’t believe her large brown slanted camel eyes this week. Google must have got fed up with her complaining about them and have awarded her a new PR3. After all the ups and down over recent months, this should now her ranking for at least until the New Year. Funny how Kamila doesn’t really care about Google PR when she is at PR0, but now wears a PR3 with pride. This didn't last long however.

This of course causes more problems on how to go about making money with her blog now. Does she now take up the offers from paid blog reviews, which are coming through, or does she tread carefully to protect her higher PR ranking? The problem lies in that fact that Kamila has to make money and paid blog reviews are the biggest earners by far. “A good PR from Google doesn’t pay the bills!” says Kamila in the background as I now type it out. She is so right though.

I know Kamila very well now and I know deep down she feels that Google are too big for their boots. So I feel Kamila will carry on in the same way taking decently paid offer for paid blogging reviews. If she fall down on PR again then so be it, her Alexa rank remains constant and it doesn’t affect traffic she gets. In reality Kamila’s mind is saying that Google will not be in control of her and that’s a good attitude from a Camel who really doesn’t seem to have come of age recently.

Just to add, a recommendation was given by an Entrecard member Funky Town Disco Music a highly entertaining blog which Kamila visits regularly

Quote:
“Interesting articles written in simple and comprehensive by the most famous Camel in Bulgaria. Visit her blog and read her articles. Recommended.”

Kamila’s heart glowed when she saw this and of course approved it for publication.

“Chin up Everyone, Google isn’t God you know!” says Kamila.

Kamila Discovers Other Ways To Drive Traffic To Your Blog

Kamila has been thinking and has come up with some ideas that will give little help on how to create more traffic to your blog and therefore increase the earning potential. It is so easy and Kamila doesn’t know why bloggers don’t use these little ways all the time and not just in a quick burst when the idea is in their head. The secret it to do make it part of you daily routine that way you will see the results coming through on a constant climb rather than rise and stutter.

Entrecard and Adgitize members make it a routine to drop daily, these bloggers don’t think twice about doing this, why don’t they do the same for other traffic generating schemes that are sitting there waiting to be used. What’s more Kamila figured out that these other ways would give you more traffic that don’t just drop and run.

Number one and one of the biggest blogging communities online is BlogCatalog Kamila is a popular member there and visits the community daily adding a few friends each time who invariably visit her site before returning the compliment. Then there is MyBlogLog, a Yahoo run blogging community that doesn’t basically the same thing and so does Kamila, a few new contacts each day bring in interest and more traffic. Both communities has many ‘extra features that can drive traffic to your blog and your new posts appear to all members when published. IT will also boost you PR and Alex factors as well as back links are being fired in.

Kamila is a fan of both sets of communities and run alongside Entrecard and Adgitize daily visits give an extra dimension of traffic coming in. Well worth a look in if you aren’t already members of these communities and if you are, log in daily, it will make a difference in the long run. Oh and by the way Kamila mentions that if you have multiple blogs these are ideal mediums to spread the word of all your blogs under one cover as long as you add them to your collection under you user name. Kamila has quite a few alongside as many of you may know.

“Happy blogging as always!” says Kamila.

Kamila's Thoughts On Alexa Targets and Competitions

Kamila has now has entered five competitions and waits for the results. They are all free and easy to enter with prizes ranging from hard cash to air miles. She thinks it won’t be long before she gets some sort of reward for her efforts if nothing else the law of averages dictates that if you persist and never give up something will come her way.

It is some surprise to know that many people just don’t bother with competitions and this give a greater chance for those who do make the effort. Opportunities for competitions have increased tremendously over the last few years especially online and blog competitions, this is good news to bloggers fro another avenue of traffic and earnings.

Image via CrunchBase

On another front it seems that Kamila has now settled nicely into a Google PR0 but her Alexa rank stands at 137457. Her aim is to get it under 120,000 over the next few months and under 100,000 by April next year. This will take a lot of work, not least more links can communication with blogging friends and regular posts.

Needless to say spare time in Bulgaria is now increasing with most of the harvests in and food and fuel stocks stored for the coming winter. Come November there will be three months of mega time to kill and that will be spent blogging on these cold and freezing months with plenty of good food and drink on the kitchen table.

“Hope you are all in a cheerful disposition,” says Kamila

Cornyman Needs A Lift - EC Members Can Help

Kamila has come back from grape picking for four days and just heard that Cornyman has cancel the whopping 1,000,000 EC contest due to lack of support which is giving no real benefit to the generous sponsors who put up an incredible amount of cash EC credits and other goodies. This is was a big shock for Kamila who was the first blogger to be put up for the competition.

Kamila knows that Cornyman has put in a tremendous amount effort and dedication to this competition and in return it has gone pear shaped. Making a financial success out of blogging is a hard game as many have found out and given up. Kamila just hopes that Cornyman bounces back with new vigour and doesn’t let this put him off from trying other enterprises in the blogging world.

It is true to say from a Camel who has been blogging now for well over a year now that the blogging world needs more people like Cornyman or Martin those who don’t know. People like him make the blogging world tick and many bloggers including Kamila are more than grateful for his efforts that certainly haven’t gone unnoticed.

Kamila suggests that all people who appreciate Martin’s efforts that they should comment on his blog thanking him for his tremendous and ambitious effort. Kamila has done this already. Martin certainly needs a lift right now and bloggers who care like Kamila and many other EC members can help with this Here's the link ----> http://cornys-moneypage.blogspot.com/

Chance To Win 4000 EC Credits - Just Comment

Before Kamila starts anything, she is all confused as from being a PR2 then apparently sandboxed by Google to a PR0. She now finds herself with a PR3! This is a complete mystery throughout all the changes, which leads Kamila into thinking that Google really is beyond confusing.

How long her PR3 lasts is another matter. It could be a few days or weeks. Who knows, or more to the point who cares? Kamila has gone beyond that now. At least she might get a few decent Pay Per Post jobs while it last!

Kamila asks is you can check out these past articles from her blog and give some comments on them. Kamila has been reflecting on the year and sometimes forgets how much learning has gone on in that time. I was such a good time reflecting on what has happened and she hopes you can enjoy them as well.

This is in conjunction with Cornymans Money-Blog and the 1,000,00 EC competition that starts today. can win 4.000 ECs, for each comment with 3 to 4 sentences. You need to read the rules first which can be found on Cornymans Money-Blog. Kamila hopes you can put some constructive comments for her where you have a chance to win 4000 EC credits this week.

A summary of the prizes are that the first 40 comments will get each 75 EC + 2 members can win 500 EC - (totalling 4.000 EC)

Wishing you all the best all the time along with good luck
- Kamila -

The four articles Kamila would like you to comment on are:

Bulgarian Banitsas

Trouble Learning Bulgarian

Kamila Sandboxed By Google

Kamila today found out that Google have been quite unfair with now making her PR0 from her recent PR2. Technically it is called being sandboxed Kamila thinks. She can only assume that this was from doing a couple of Pay Per Post blogs and nothing else. This mean that more Pay Per Post jobs are going to be like gold dust and pay even less with her PR value at zero!

Not good news, but Kamila is upbeat at least her Alexa rank is well under 200k and improving.

On another front, there is 100,000 EC credits plus $20 (from a kind donor) for anyone who wants to sell a digital camera. Kamila wants to take more pictures of herself for her website and the current camera’s lens is flawed. If anyone is interested please go to the Entrecard Forum and look up 'Physical Goods' where further details can be found.

A short blog today from Kamila who has to now try and look for a new source of income. How ironic that yesterday’s post was about looking for other sources of income from blogging.

Thoughts Of New Ways Of Making More Money By Blogging

Kamila hope everyone had a great weekend - She did popping peppers on the barbecue!

Back to blogging mode, Kamila has looked again at how you can make more inroads to making money online other than Pay Per Post jobs that a detrimental to your blog in Google assessing PR. Kamila has seen quite clearly this puts so many people off that building their blogs up to qualify for posts then see all their hard work undone isn’t worth the effort.

With AdBrite and AdSense thematic systems that pay for being clicked on, Kamila has found that you need massive traffic to get anywhere near enough just to cover Internet overheads. Kamila’s team has made nearly $200, but it has taken near on 18 months to earn that on AdSense. The AdBrite was experimented on for a couple of months and Kamila earned less than a dollar, no good at all and all down to lack of traffic. Even with hundreds of EC droppers each day, this kind of traffic does not venture into AdSense or AdBrite systems as 99% are drop and run traffic.

So without major traffic and being hoodwinked into thinking that Entrecard traffic does the job, there is a dead end for the vast majority of bloggers trying to earn this way. Other avenues have to be around and the trend nowadays for decent traffic is competitions. Mr Cornyman (Martin) with his blog http://cornys-moneypage.blogspot.com/ and the 1,000,000 EC competition has taken the bull by the horns by initiating the biggest competition to date and it will be very interesting to see what kind of results he gets on this blog. He is using Entrecard as the pivotal centre of the competition, nothing wrong with that as Entrecard encourages it, naturally.

There are many other way to make a bit more blogging and Kamila know you have to be quite original in though and almost unique with ideas that might work. She does know that the wheel can be invented time and time again and with this an old method maybe that had become obsolete a few years ago with be re introduced with a new hat and take off again. A year ago the award chain blogging was the top, this has died now, this will of course come back to popularity in the future, but not as we know it.

In the meantime, if you are a EC member give Mr Cornyman some support with sponsoring EC credits, Ad space, hard dosh, or other prizes that might want to give away. Kamila has given ad space and 5000 EC credits and feels good about it, not just from getting good backlinks either! His site is here Cornys Moneypage Blog or just click on the box below for details of the competition.

Happy blogging as always!
