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

By the way, after getting a PR3, it lasted 6 days then Kamila fell to a PR2 for a few days beyond that. Now it has gone back to PR0! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Google, but Kamila has been well past caring what PR she is for quite a while now.

Finally, there is still time to enter Cornyman's 1,000,00 EC competition. Just look at Kamila's previous post!

'Chins Up'. Says Kamila

Kamila was looking for a way of getting her PR2 back, but then she thought, why should she. Nothing has changed with her blog, her traffic in fact if anything it is improving very week. All that has happened is that Google have assessed her as having a blog that has no gravity in the world of the Internet. Only Google, no one else!

So now Kamila will carry on as normal, she will not be bullied into changing her ways, why should she. She is not after high search engine listing, but just writing a blog that can earn a little income for her up keep.

To all those who have been sandboxed like Kamila, don’t let this put you off, you have not done anything wrong. In a blogosphere environment there is one party who think they are God, but they aren’t.

“Chins up“, says Kamila

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.

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!

Five Simple Tips To Get Better Google Search Engine Rankings

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.

What Kamila Found Out About Keywords

Keywords are something that Kamila is only beginning to find out about. She knows that if you write and article about a certain topic and use a certain word or phrase that are central to that article and these should be used as your keyword tags.

Then with this in place, if anyone uses a search engine and wants to find articles on a certain topic they are more likely to get your article if you use the keywords or phrase in your title. Put it in a few times early on in the article i.e. in the first sentence and first paragraph, perhaps highlighted in bold to give more importance to these words. They can also be used any ‘alt’ sections of pictures in your article HTML code.

Now Kamila read about this and can see why blogger do this to get higher up the search ranks and will now try and follow this SEO code of good practice – My Oh My Kamila that does sound rather geeky!

Anyway Kamila though a good idea to share what she found out as it doesn’t take much effort to get the keywords in place and to do the business of getting more traffic from readers using search engines. Kamila knows that most bloggers don’t bother with this and therefore if you do you will have a distinct advantage over them.

She hope this helps bloggers a bit.

Regards to you all from Kamila.
