Comments Function Functions, So Comment

Comments Function Functions, So Comment

For a couple of weeks now, Reward Rebel has had a problem with the comments function, and as I’ve not been able to fix it, I’ve opted to change the theme, and overcome the problem that way, it’s a little bit annoying as I’d been planning to install a custom design soon.

I’m probably storing up a mega-prob for myself at a later date, but that’s nothing new.

Comments are the life blood of a blog, and having potential commentators file thru unable to mark their passing, has felt a little how I imagine it must be to have a blood transfusion at the same time as slashing my wrists… pointless!

So help me enjoy the adventure even more by leaving me some wunnerful comments on the comments function, while the comments function functions;-D

Yimto Affiliate Marketing Blog

Site Description on Entrecard: Yimto Affiliate Marketing Blog: Information and strategies about how to be successful with affiliate marketing. Regular updates, filled with great affiliate resources, products, and reviews.

Reward REBEL’s Review: Visually, this is a very attractive blog with a striking theme that’s a favourite of mine. The design cleverly incorporates a clear differentiation between the two right-hand side bars, and their functions. One is draped in elegant graphical embellishments and is almost solely dedicated to site navigation and resources, whilst the other sidebar displays assorted widgets.

Yimto is an affiliate marketing blog, and helps its readers to successfully evolve their own blogs, as well as throwing in a generous handful of reviews and contests for some variety of texture!

To pick up some advice that’ll help you increase your earnings online, go and read Yimto’s post titled, ‘8 Great Ways to Increase Affiliate Link Clickthroughs’.

Entrecard Top Drop 1 ~ MaleWail

Continuing on from yesterday’s post about the Entrecard meme tag received from Yimto, today’s post features my review of Reward Rebel’s current ‘Entrecard Top Drop 1′. The review features the blog’s description of itself, followed by my thoughts about it.

MaleWail - Cries of the egotistical male

Site Description on Entrecard: MaleWail dot com is about men posting their comments, ideas and advice. We will review music, movies and books. Gripe about just about anything. Try and give the male perspective.

Reward REBEL’s Review: MaleWail presents an entertaining banquet of amusing observations, personal rants, and potential online money making possibilities.

For a crystal clear insight into the writing approach, read the post that’s my current favourite — and don’t skip the comments, they’re an absolute hoot — it’s titled Hi my name is Dave and I am an Entreholic

Go on, nip over there now – just click MaleWail and enjoy a secret saucy smile this Sunday!

Entrecard – My Top Ten Card Droppers

Entrecard – My Top Ten Card Droppers

At the beginning of the year I was tagged with a meme for the first time in my blogging life. Yimto Affiliate Marketing Blog was the tagger and the meme was “to name my top ten Entrecard droppers and write a review of each site”.

Being a meme virgin, I have no idea of the rules, or indeed if there are any. I’m just hoping that the meme doesn’t have to be fulfilled within a specific time or the blogger is ostracized. Hopefully, nothing like that exists, so I’ll forge ahead with my own interpretation of the original meme.

Entrecard and blog directories like MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog have helped to considerably increase Reward Rebel’s Alexa traffic ranking, and the intrinsic nature of blogging and bloggers has rekindled my enjoyment of writing.

To give a fair airing to each of the ten blogs is impossible (for me) in one post, so I’m going to dedicate one post to each blog review over the next couple of weeks.

I’d like to take this opportunity to express thanks to my Entrecard friends for their support and patronage, and specifically to Yimto for tagging me with the original meme.

Let’s all enjoy a successful adventure in 2008.

Qassia Attracts Traffic to Your Website

Qassia Attracts Traffic to Your Website

I just wanted to follow-up on my earlier post about Qassia, because it appears people have been signing up without reading the importance of the first 36 hours post-registration.

Qassia is in beta testing and during this early period is offering very generous rewards for referrals, which is currently the only access to registration. For the first 12 hours after you register, you earn Qassia $500 per referral, for the following 24 hours, you’ll earn Qassia $200 per referral, and thereafter, it’s down to Qassia $100 per referral.

If you plan your email promo and/or blog posting before registering, you can optimize your earnings on referrals during this valuable period.

In addition, for every item of ‘intel’ that you submit, you earn Qassia $dollars, as well as earning for ‘screening’ other people’s ‘intel’. You can instantly get unlimited backlinks, as one is created with each item of ‘intel’ you submit. Plus the more Qassia $dollars you have in your account, the higher your blog or website ranks.

Entrecard was my first real involvement with a traffic network of any kind, and I’ve been pleased with the increased traffic to Reward Rebel, as well as having struck up friendships with some wonderful people. It was an Entrecard colleague, Jean Costa, who initially invited me to sign up with Qassia, and so I’m going to throw my hat in the ring.

Of course, it remains to be seen exactly how much can be accomplished with Qassia, but you can rest assured that I’ll let you know how things develop!

Enjoy the adventure.

An Invitation To Qassia

An Invitation To Qassia

Have you heard of Qassia yet?

It’s a brand new ‘intelligence’ sharing network currently in beta testing. If you have a blog or website, you can register it and gain both traffic and backlinks.

The aim is to submit your ‘intelligence’ or ‘intel’, which can be a helpful tip, or useful snippet of information, from which others may benefit. For each ‘intel’ you submit, another backlink is added to your website.

You can only register if you’ve been invited by a member, therefore, you are cordially invited to Sign Up at Qassia. Simply go to this page: http://rewardrebel.qassia.com/ and click the huge button to the lefthand side.

Qassia gives you credit for sharing your intelligence, and the more credit you earn, the better your websites will rank.

This program sounds to be me like it’s worth investing some time and effort into. It also claims it has the best ad revenue sharing system on the internet, but it would say that!

Welcome to the adventure.

Genesis of a Blogger

Genesis of a Blogger

In the beginning was the word, and the word was good. The word was in fact two words — internet marketing.

When I was first researching internet marketing and making money online, I didn’t know HTML or Dreamweaver, I barely knew how to use Photoshop (though I was fortunate to own a copy), and my knowledge and experience of marketing was almost non-existent.

Had I known how much time I’d need to invest in the venture or how many different subjects I’d need to study, I sometimes wonder whether I’d have gotten involved, but the motivation was of course money. For more than five years, I’d enjoyed my involvement with the charity where I worked, but changes in my life had triggered a major shift in my perspective. It was a feeling I could not shake off.

Now I wanted financial freedom, so that I could be in charge of my life, and not dance to the tune playing on someone else’s iPod.

With determination and gritted teeth, I wrangled HTML and Dreamweaver, wrestled the auto-responder, and just as I’d gotten my head around the basics, and felt ready to enter the arena and start earning my millions from internet marketing, something struck me. Forcefully. I could no longer ignore how frequently I was encountering references to social networking and Web 2.0. Nor the general consensus of opinion being that these ingredients had become essential to a successful recipe for making money online.

Eventually, I had to accept that the internet marketing techniques I’d been learning about, though still valid, had evolved, and now incorporated new elements, resulting in a more dynamic and social experience for the website user or customer.

At the time, this wasn’t a particularly welcome revelation, as originally I’d been seduced by all the hyped up product promos, informing me that I could, “earn $57,642 in my pyjamas, before breakfast … no technical skills or marketing knowledge required”. Call me gullible, if you like, but don’t you hear bells ringing?

Once I’d realized the trip was going to be a little bumpier than anticipated, I elected to stay for the duration. I chose to learn new skills and acquire new abilities, so that I could live my life as the person I wanted to be, somewhere I’d enjoy spending my time, as a member of a community I had chosen to call home. Internet marketing represented the key.

It was at this point, churning amidst the sleep deprived nights and unfamiliar inner stirrings, that it happened.

The blogger was born — and its name is Reward Rebel.
