Blogosis

I am officially, at least in Thailand, no longer a teenager. I still have about 11 hours till the official time, so I will try and enjoy these last years of truly being a kid.

If you would really like to make my birthday a joy, send me a gift I’d really like. What would I like? Questions! I made this post earlier asking for your questions. They can be about the blogger that I am, my ideas on anything, or a random thing that has nothing to do with anything. Also, you might stand a chance to win free advertising here for 1 month if I really like your question. This also applies to any comments made here or any other blog article posted after this one.

I also want to remind you of my blog cash giveaway. It’s easy to win, and the pot is now over $25 dollars via paypal (and grows daily if my advertising does any good.), a prize from Amazon for up to $25 dollars (that is with shipping), and a pot of what I estimate will be 500 - 600 Entrecard credits. One chance if you sign up to my RSS feed by email, 5 to blog about it on your blog, and 5 chances if you put me on your blog roll. Check HERE for more details. So far there are about 40 entries.

I’m experimenting with new ads. WidgetBucks has been a really good performer, and I am making money with referals, too. They pay me for every click I get and 1000 views gets me a little cash, too. Bidvertiser has got me a grand total of 46 cents, but that was only 1 click. I’ve got a couple referals so maybe I’ll get some extra cash there too. Adbrite is a nice performer. I make about a cent for every 100 views, and I’ve built up a few clicks. This has been a great alternative to Adsense. If you want to help this blogger out on his birthday, sign up using my referral links (please… hahaha). This would make me a very happy birthday boy! And now I’m done selling you my affiliates. Oh wait, I also got paid using Sponsored Reviews. That made me a grand total of about 15 dollars. The writing I did for that money took less than 1 hour.

The best gift I’m getting this birthday? A guest post on Problogger.net! When Darren accepted my post I made sure I yelled a big “Hell yeah!” He said he will post it this weekend of early next week, so look for it! It’s a helpful post, but remains full of humor. I just want to say thanks to Darren Rowse for giving such a great opportunity to a new blogger like myself. It gives me a great sense of pride in my blog writing to be featured on Problogger.

One more thing, I’m doing some SEO on this blog. I’m shooting for big blogging keywords, so I doubt I will drag in much traffic, but if you work hard enough on something you may get what you ask for. That is what I am hoping for, at least. Perseverance is the key. Try, try, try again until you fail, and keep trying, learning from your failures. That is old knowledge though. I won’t bore you guys any longer.

Enough with me selling my contests, affiliates and blog notes, though. I went to see Cloverfield this night. The movie is really fun, grabs you, and takes you through a lot of dilemmas that makes you think “What if..?” Anyone else catch the film? It wasn’t quite what I expected, but still a good movie worth a matinée watch if not any other time of the day. Cloverfield even inspired me to write a blog post. You should see it up on Monday or someday around there. Make sure you subscribe to catch it.

About 20 more hours to comment or ask me a question so make sure you get on this for a free month of advertising. Imagine the traffic that may trickle to you after my Problogger post.
