Blast from the Past Blog Posts Part 1

Sorry guys but I haven't checked out the sites from my very first blog post about the Reciprocal Review Carousel. Instead, I'll be looking back through the blog posts I made 5 years ago.

I can't imagine that I just made only 35 posts. Yes, I'm not a very good writer but could have posted more.  

Today, I'll be looking back at my first 7 posts and try to remember what I've been doing during those times.

1. 10.02.07 - The 5-second weird coughing pig video was my very first and also the last that I've done. Although this is just all crap, drawn from Paint and animated using Windows Movie Maker, it's quite fun learning how to turn a simple drawing into something cartoonish. Adobe wasn't that popular before so I just used whatever software is available. 
2. 10.03.07 - Unfortunately, I can't figure out what this post is about because it's blank. I don't know why, perhaps I attached an image that has is no longer available online. 
3. 10..03.07 - Wow, and I just made another post at the same day? I mentioned earlier that Adobe wasn't that popular but yeah, I am trying to learn how to use Photoshop CS2 and researched for some cool brushes that I can use. This is a post showcasing my first attempt on graphic design using a computer. Some banners for a local gig here in Iloilo, I designed it for free. The organizers were very close friends of  mine so it's no big deal really.
4. 10.05.07 - Hmmm, a video from one of my fav bands, Otep. I don't know why but when I checked the post today, I can't view the video anymore because of demographic restrictions. 
5. 10.16.07 - The hottest video I posted was not really that "hot" as what you have in mind. Some fat guy just kidding around with hot sauce. It made my day so I thought it's worth sharing.
6. 10.17.07 - A random doodle on a scratch paper, a fat disgusting man that no one would like to bump into. 
7. 12.03.07 - Another graphic design, a logo for my friend's org also here in Iloilo and perhaps, it has been replaced already. Anyway, this one is worth 4 bottle of beer.

Blast from the Past Link Building Tactics

Whoa! It's been almost... 3 and a half years when I last updated this blog.

If you're wondering what I've been up to lately, you can visit my other crappy website here. It's a paid one and I'm publishing most of my work there. I'm offering services that include WordPress blog setup, WordPress Themes customization, header/logo/banner design, CD/DVD cover design and t-shirt design.

Yeah, things have changed, a lot. I'm really very busy these days, life is tougher and Google is meaner. You know what I mean.

Starting today, I'll be looking back on how things have gone way back when I was still a newbie in the blogging industry, where there were only a few competitors and fewer self-proclaimed experts.

My very first blog post is about this super cool link building tactic (October 2, 2007), the Reciprocal Review Carousel. I don't think it still works today but it was a fun experience trying this one out. I got to review a couple of sites in just one post. I'm not sure though if the sites still exist so I'll be checking them out and update you in my next post.

This crappy blog was rarely updated and yet, it managed to attract a number of visitors. Thank you very much for taking the time to browse my crappy blog posts. I do hope you still find them interesting despite of how old they are.

That's all for now, until we meet again.

This contest is an art because you need to be a very artistic blogger if you are determined in winning. So now, as the countdown nearly ends, I hope this will still count.

Crap Attack

Paid blogging is one of the common ways to make money online. Paid blogging can be in a form of blog advertisting and sponsored reviews. And if you’re lucky, you will also attract direct advertisers that will pay you for making a review for them.

There are a number of sites that offers blog advertising. It is easier for advertisers to look for bloggers with blogs that are relevant to their products and services.

I would recommend Bloggertizer as one of the sites that offers blog advertising because I can earn an extra $5 from my PR3 blogs. I can make friends within the Bloggertizer community. This motivated me to make more blogs and to make sure they will have a high pr when Google will have its next update.

I also love Bloggertizer for its unique features. Blogs are indexed by tags and advertisers cab easily search for blogs with high pr. Transactions are done privately, just between the advertiser and the blogger and they set your own rules for the review to be written.

Is This For Real?

This a just sculpture . It looks so real. Although it looks like crap, it's still one of the best masterpieces an artist can do. I wonder what's on his mind while he did this.

The Heat is On

Whoa! The heat is on. Yeah! The heat is… oohhh.. on. I just feel like singing today (giggles). It is soooo damn hot, I barely get out of the house. I wanted to dip in the pool or get naked in bath tub. Oh well. I can already feel the heat.

I prefer to blog than go kite flying. I can have all the time I want. I can also maximize my use of the internet. I can earn twice over what I am spending for.

I know some of you will wonder how I can earn through the internet. Well, I can earn from my blogs and by joining blogging contests.

WWW Observer gave me all the information I need. I learned how to blog professionally. Before, I thought that I do anything I want on a free blog but I was wrong. It is much better to have my own domain so that I can do anything with it.

Speaking of blogging contests, if you plan to join one can be a good way to promote your blog and make link exchanges. Even I will not win, I can make new friends and get more blogging tips.

For me, I am enjoying this moment by joining a summer contest. I am so excited as the closing date approaches. I hope I will win. If I win, I can get cash, a free hosting, an ad space and a cool t-shirt!
