The questions were: Would it be a hobby or could it generate an income. Could I create a money making website or a money making blog? If so, how much could I make? A couple hundred bucks a month? Could website monetization support me?”
vjack presents Creating Great Blog Posts: Chasing the Elusive posted at Atheist Revolution, saying, “A good blog post is one that is interesting, informative, or enjoyable to read. But a truly great post goes beyond that and is thought-provoking in an enduring and perhaps unexpected way.

aLien presents aLien bake web site with CMS posted at aLien Blog Shop, saying, “Funny way to learn CMS.”
Marcus Hochstadt presents Why I Do Not Use FeedBurner posted at Internet Business Guide, saying, “It seems as if the majority of bloggers use FeedBurner to distribute and track the use of their RSS feeds. Marcus Hochstadt has his reasons for NOT using FeedBurner though.”

MBB presents How To Get A Free Laptop or Plasma TV posted at Money Blue Book, saying, “If you’ve ever encountered sites on the internet that claimed to offer brand new laptop computers, mp3 players, or even plasma TV’s for free, I’m sure most of you jumped to the immediate conclusion that they must all be scams. What I’m about to share may be time consuming and require almost anal, obsessive compulsive organizational skills, but the potential payoff at the end is quite substantial.”
Carl Ringwall presents Set Up WordPress Pay-Per-Post With iSubscribe posted at Data SystemsPlus, saying, “In a forum post, I explanied how iDevSpot’s iSubscribe could be used to set up a membership site with WordPress. While you can use iSubcribe to protect an entire WordPress installation and have it function as a membership site, it’s also a snap to set up a Pay-Per-Post system with your existing WordPress blog with iSubscribe.

May 16th, 2008
A few days ago, while I was working peacefully at my computer, I was suddenly bombarded with a lot of popups, telling me that my computer is very infected with a lot of trojans, spyware, malware, malicious code and other. My desktop has become red with an ugly, red, big mug in the center. A program came from nowhere and called AntiSpywareMaster scans my computer but when I push the remove button, it asks me to buy it. Fortunately, I was still able to use my computer, so I’ve searched on Google for AntiSpywareMaster to see how effective it was for cleaning my computer. And here is what I’ve found:
AntiSpywareMaster is a rogue anti spyware infection whose intent is to fool the user into believing that their system is infected with various viruses. AntiSpywareMaster is typically downloaded through video codecs on some less than desirable sites. AntiSpywareMaster comes complete with a compelling spyware search tool that runs a fake system scan of your system on its own. Upon running, AntiSpywareMaster will prompt the user to download and pay for a full license copy in order to remove the infections. DON’T BUY IT! AntiSpywareMaster displays infections that are false and do not exist. Here are some screenshots:
Many people have buyed it and said that the application didn’t do anything. It’s a worthless application, created just for trick you.
I’ve found on the internet some programs which pretend they remove this application from your computer, but they require buying a license. So I don’t know how trustful they are.
The only thing you have to do is to remove manually this malware from your computer. I’ve found 2 methods and I give here the links, because these methods are too long to display here entirely.
1. On the first method you must stop the process from Task Manager, to find some files called AntiSpywareMaster.exe, AntiSpywareMaster7.3.exe, or the same with .dll extension and to remove them and also you have to remove some registry keys. You can see here detailed instructions.
Of course, in my case, I didn’t found any of the AntiSpywareMaster file, and my Task Manager didn’t worked anymore. It says that “Task Manager was disabled by administrator”. Though the application was still running in my computer, because more and more popups have coming and saying that my computer is infected. So I’ve searched for another method.
2. Here is a detailed removal process in 15 steps. You must follow all of these steps and do exactly what they told you to do. It’s a long process, but it worth the effort. Finally, after 2 days and a night while I was struggling with this malicious program, at step 10 I was get rid of it. I’ve followed all the rest of the steps though, to be sure that everything its ok.
In conclusion, my advices are:
1. Don’t download anything from a site you don’t trust it!
2. Don’t buy AntiSpywareMaster program!

As many of you knows already, there was a Google PR update these days as well as an IBL update.
So, My lucky number 13 has PR2 again. But I’m very proud for two of our recent projects (where I work with Simonne), our make money online blog and our free web directory which have jumped from PR0 to PR4 (yuppie 
). And for that kind of projects, a higher PR is very important.
I think the reason for which I have only PR2 at my lucky 13 blog (which has about 7 months old) compared with PR4 at EzMoneyOn.Net (which has 2 months old) is the fact that on lucky 13 I have much more external links with do follow on my home page: I have 13 links from everything in my sidebar, plus I post 5 full articles on homepage. On EzMoneyOn.Net we have chosen to post excerpts, and PR was one of the reasons for that.
A very good tool for counting your external links with dofollow is Site link analyzer from SeoChat, which tells me that on My Lucky Number 13 I have 220 external links with dofollow and on EzMoneyOn.Net I have 26 links with dofollow.
Of course that the number of external links is just one factor for a PR evaluation. There are also very important the number and the quality of inbound links.
And for my joy to be higher, Chrissie from Bloggeries has reviewed My Lucky Number 13. It’s a very nice review which concludes:
Overall however, this is a great concept blog built around the unique notion of the number 13, and this creativity is something its readers will enjoy participating in.
Thanks, Chrissie!
Of course, all these are great news for me and a motif of joy; I don’t know how much do you care about them, but I just wanted to share my joy with you!

Welcome to the 12th edition of Resource for Bloggers Carnival!
Even if there are fewer articles than in the latest edition, you still have something to read. I’m sorry that I didn’t include all the articles I’ve received, but not all was appropriate for this carnival.

Pinyo presents Use Blurb Exchange To Promote Your Niche Blog posted at Blogthority, saying, “With all the rave about niche blogging and linking only to related sites, bloggers are overlooking a powerful marketing tool. Sure, its great to get targeted niche traffic but some niches are universally appealing to most readers.”
Christine presents How to Get Ideas for Writing Blogs and Creating Website Articles posted at Me, My Kid and Life: An American Single Mom Living in France, saying, “The easiest way to write prolifically for your website or blog is by having a website or blog that addresses your passion. If you love gardening then it might be easy for you to write endlessly about the subject. If you blow glass you might have a wealth of information on the subject that you wish to share with others. Therefore, the easiest way to get ideas for your blog or website is to be inspired by your topic.”
the baglady presents Weekend Musings on Blog Promotion - The Baglady posted at The Baglady, saying, “I have been tinkering with a few new programs to promote my site and generate more revenue. Here are my trials and experiences.”

Steve Faber presents - How to Increase Targeted Website Traffic For Free – and 2 Big Mistakes That Can Keep You From Doing So posted at Home Based Business Success, saying, “Nothing occupies the minds of most Internet (and any other) marketers as much as the question of how to increase targeted traffic to their websites. If that traffic happens to be free, so much the better. One of the ways used by marketers to get more targeted traffic is through article marketing. Writing articles and letting others publish them in exchange for a link back to your website is a powerful technique. It’s used by experienced and newbie marketers alike.”
Cancerkitty presents Setup a Personal, Portable Web Server posted at DelSquacho, aying, “An easy to follow tutorial for setting up an Apache web server on a thumb drive. Great for developing blog themes.”
Martin Russell presents Long Copy Vs Short Copy - The Final Say. posted at Word of Mouth Marketing For Small Business, saying, “In copywriting circles the battle rages.

Carol Bentley presents Twitter, twitter posted at Carol Bentley, saying, “Have you come across Twitter? There’s a lot of interest in Twittering; lots of people are getting involved.

Michael Bass presents Stumbleupon.com Brought Me 60,000 Hits in 60 days posted at Debt Prison, saying, “There is no comparison in Digg.com and Stumbleupon.com. At least not when you are talking about the ability of a webpage to be seen quickly by many readers. Stumbleupon.com can create such a surge of traffic to your site, you’ll think something is broken.”

Pursuing this path will require that you overcome some, if not most of the fears discussed. Start with one and work on overcoming it and then move onto the next one.”
Dana presents How online communication has affected me posted at Principled Discovery, saying, “The research initially discussed dealt with having people interacting through a digital avatar and measuring how people behaved based on the kind of avatar they used. And, like I mentioned then, the most disturbing thing to me was not that there were measurable changes in behavior off-line, but that the people did not even recognize the changes nor how they had been manipulated. What they saw was perceived as real.”
Raivyn presents How To Write a Great “How-To” Article posted at Idiot’s Guide to Blogging, saying, “A good thing about writing how-to articles is that anyone can do it, regardless of the subject. You can write about anything you want, whether it be about blogging, or building a boat, or playing the guitar. Write about what interests you. More often than not, someone else is bound to have an interest in it as well, and may benefit from the information you are offering. Here are a few tips to help you write a link-worthy how-to.”
Sarah Paine presents Is Risk Aversion Ruining Your Business? posted at Sarah Paine, saying, “When you run an internet business do you avoid making any decisions that might involve risk? Are you failing to swap over to your own website due to fear of failure or additional risk? Even if you are running your own site do you avoid making purchases that could dramatically enhance the amount of business you do? It is easy to make these types of decisions and stunt ourselves because society has taught us to avoid all risk whenever possible.”
