So far this blog has been live for 20 days and has slowly but steadily been growing in both visitor traffic and comments. I’ve seen my Technorati ranking rise to 671,000 from the millions when I first launched. Unfortunately I did not see any boost to this brand new blog from the recent PageRank update – although my credit card [...]
Over at the Digital Point Forums I came across about a post that showed Google Checkout was “hacked.” Well I can’t quite figure out how it happened, but it appears that when you search for “Google Checkout” in Google the first search listing is titled “use google checkout on hibidder com free”, but it links directly to www.checkout.google.com. But that’s [...]
One of my first forays into making money online was through a program called CashFlowFromCreditCards.com. CFFCC puts together a credit card comparison website for you to market through offline channels, Google Adwords, and various other promotional methods. The domain I use for my credit card site is InstantCredit.cc and it has generated an eCPM of nearly $100 since inception. These [...]
Simonne Matthew is the face behind AllTipsAndTricks.com. Inside his blog you’ll find cool tips and tricks for a very wide-ranging array of topics. Truly nothing is off-limits for Simonne. Something I found particularly interesting and relevent was a blog post about how to make a beautiful lawn in one day. My lawn is in dire need of some serious improvement [...]
Today I received an e-mail from AGLOCO announcing the pending release of their Viewbar. The Viewbar has been subjected to numerous delays and programming issues so it will be interesting to see how it ends up looking/functioning. One of the interesting points in the e-mail is that they will only be paying members when there are profits (income minus expenses) [...]

This is the second installment of the Blogging For a Living series. Previously I had mentioned a blogger who was choosing to monetize his site from reader donations rather than advertising. But for 99% of the bloggers out there, advertising will be essential for generating any reasonable level of monetization for their blog. David Sifry, founder of Technorati, estimates that [...]
I’ve been researching articles of people who make a living blogging online and comparing what they do and there are some interesting similarities and also some very obvious differences. Most bloggers whose sole income comes from their blog earn what they do through advertisements like AdSense, Chitika, YPN, Auction Ads, Kontera and others. The blogger I came across who doesn’t [...]
Shaun Carter dot Com was recently visited by blogger Jason Neuman and he offered up a linkback review similar to that of John Chow. I headed over to his blog Ja Kel Daily dot Com, which is focused on how to make money on the Internet, and found a lot of great resources and blog posts on how to maximize [...]
I logged into my Google Adsense account and found that I have been accepted. Which is strange because I never received an acceptance e-mail. I will begin to integrate the Adsense code into several of my websites this week and keep track of the progress here. [tags]google, adsense, shaun carter, make money online[/tags]
