21 reasons to why you should blog

July 27th, 2008 by Gareth | 1 Comment | Filed in Blogging

Whenever I started making websites my brother was into blogging and always told me I should start blogging, but I always thought it was a bit lame. Now I regret it because I could have been making twice as much money off my blogs as I’m making now.

I’ve been generous and gave some reasons why some people should become bloggers. I love blogging and really have became addicted to making a blog post each day. Also I’ve been trying to persuade a friend Josh and several others to get into blogging and this post is directed in their way as well. Read the rest of this entry »

Top 10 bloggers under 21

June 12th, 2008 by Gareth | No Comments | Filed in Blogging

A while back there was a list made for the top bloggers under 21 years old. Somehow I made it onto some of these lists. It really has got JustGareth a heck of a lot of back links, so thanks a lot to those guys!

The only thing that really bothers me about the whole thing is, I think its kind of copying content. I seen some of them and seems that they have tried to make it look a little unique, kudos to them. But from now on I am going to try and blog more often.

Yahoo! making it three years in Beta

May 26th, 2008 by Gareth | No Comments | Filed in Business and Finance, General Internet

Its now added up to be three years and Yahoo! is still only available to USA. It said when they started the Beta that they would aim to get Yahoo Publisher worldwide. If they were to make it worldwide would they be able to compete with Google AdSense? Personally if they were to bring it to UK I would try it and see if it lives up to all the American’s say how good it is meant to be.

There’s still no sign of a break-through and releasing Yahoo! to the rest of the world, but for now we can’t really say that they are anywhere near releasing if its took over three years.

Will Digital Point ever get unpopular

May 25th, 2008 by Gareth | No Comments | Filed in Business and Finance, General Internet

Two years ago I had a conversation to my brother Andrew about webmaster forums and which one will be the next to go down. We agreed to each other that Shawn knew that sometime soon his forum would become unpopular just like any other webmaster forum. All I can say is that we were wrong. I have been a member on that forum for some quite time and I can say that I have seen an amazing gain of traffic and members.

Most of the newbies that start into the webmaster world wants to have a big forum, I tell them not to make a webmaster forum unless they have money to promote or else they have something unique about it that it will knock competitors like Digital Point, Site Point and other forums.

Every single webmaster wants to target their audience easily and for one thing MySpace is the easiest way to target large amounts of a certain topic. For example a TV show, you find the group, you post around the group with your links on it and easily enough people visit your site. At the end of the day if they don’t register to your product, at least you got extra visitors.

Ok, now your dead keen to get going and telling everyone in MySpace about your site, right? Well slow down there cowboy, your nowhere near ready to get going because you have to go through some vital steps of MySpace promoting. Read the rest of this entry »

Make money using Smorty

May 15th, 2008 by Gareth | No Comments | Filed in Blogging, Business and Finance

Blog Advertising - Get Paid to BlogEveryone wants to make money, well as far as I know they do. This is how it went, once upon a day I was looking round the Digital Point forums and seen some threads about this company Smorty. I said to myself I must look at this, some people were making over $250 a week by just reviewing sites by using this site called Smorty.

Later on after looking more into it I decided to sign up and give it ago, so far its been good I have done 4 site reviews that are about $6.00 to $12.80 each. Those were done in one day and I have sent them off to be reviewed by the site owner, if I don’t get accepted I will be really cheesed off!

Really hope this turns out to be a profitable way to make money from blogging. I got some other sites I have signed up to, but this one looks a little more professional than the other ones I went too and plus it pays via PayPal. The others don’t. If you’d like to get paid to blog go to Smorty!

Welcome one and all!
