I just can't stand it when I'm Googling for some valuable information, and when I find it, it's in stupid video form. Video isn't stupid of course but, I can't watch video online because I'm (hides face) am still on dial up. Yes I am. The reason I am on dial up is because I practically live with the deer in the woods of north west Louisiana where dial up is not available. although DSL is available a half a mile up the street, my phone company still says it's not in my "area" yet. They called one day to offer me DSL and I got excited. Only to me let down by a false alarm. But nevermind that. If I'm on dial up, there's plenty more people just like myself that may stumble across your site and will leave automatically right when they see that the article is a video.

The main reasons why video blogging is incredibly harsh to your blog is because:
1) Visitors living in the stone age like myself will leave automatically.
2) Search engines can't crawl your video.

Let me stop right there...

Those two reasons alone are plenty enough to keep me steering clear of video blogging. I'm an SEO freak and want every article possible to be indexed in google. Even if it means one visitor just from that one article for the rest of my blogs life.

Now I can understand that there are some positives to using video rather than text. For starters, your readers get to see the man/woman behind the blog along with their personality. Which is pretty cool. Also, watching and listening with your ears is better than reading in my opinion. I've always been a big movie guy. However, the negatives to video blogging out-weigh the positives to it. With text articles you will be crawled, you will get more traffic. Simple as that.

Google Earth is a lovely piece of software to view our planet from above. It's very helpful with getting directions among many other things such as visiting places in the world that you may never get to see. We can all pretty much agree that Google Earth is a good thing. But it can very well be used for bad things. For example, terrorsits have been using it to make their attacks more convenient as it makes it easier for them to pinpoint their targets. They have used it to launch attacks on British troops as well as other places.

....I plan to use Google Earth for a good thing:

Money.

I've no plan on how to get on top of Googles headquarters at this time
Get in on this before it becomes saturated.

I was browsing the interwebernet last night looking to find some new money makers to test out. I came across JobThread.com. Hmmm interesting.

It was very fast and easy signing up to JobThread but, I didn't see any place in the user interface where you add your payment method. How am I supposed to get my money? huh? Perhaps it's somewhere and I'm too lazy to look. but it should be easier to find if they want me to publish this widget on my site.

What Is This JobThread Widget?

This widget is a piece of javascript code that you place on your website. It will display local classified jobs that are located to the specific location of the person visiting your page. You as the publisher get paid each time a visitor clicks one of those job links. It's alot like adsense but it's also nothing like Adsense if you know what I mean.

So I go ahead and paste the code onto the left side of my site to check it out. Doesn't look bad so far. I run this site dedicated to making money online and I get visitors that are looking for work at home jobs. This should be great! But I need to test it out to see how much these guys are paying per click. If it's pretty decent money (better than Adsense) then I might just keep it up.

I had three different people test it out by clicking on the links. The first click was 10 cents when I looked in my account. So I thought, well that's not bad and maybe the earnings will vary depending on which link is clicked. Sometimes Adsense pays as low as 1 cent to 3 cents a click. I hate losing valuable traffic over 1 cent, even 10 - 50 cents. The second click made me another 10 cents. At this point I'm pretty positive that no matter what link is clicked and no matter what area thy clicker is from, all I'm going to get is 10 cents every time. Which isn't THAT bad but I'm definitely not going to give up Adsense for something that pays 10 cents everytime even though Adsense can go lower, Adsense can still pay a few dollars for some clicks. I'm not going to give that up.

I took down the widget and slapped Adsense back over there. But if you don't mind getting paid a *for sure* 10 cents per click, go ahead and sign up. I don't think I can recommend it though. Twenty clicks a day will make you $2.00. No more, no less. I also still have no idea how you're paid. They seem like a reputable company. You might want to look into that as should I because I'm curious.

The following is a sponsored post

ReelinCash is a GPT site that will be having it's one year anniversary in July of this year. That means that it's been running strong for a whole year without scamming. Sadly, these days that's a good thing because there's so many one weeker GPT's opening up just to have you sign up and complete offers so they can quickly cash out with their affiliate networks and never show you a penny of your earnings. Thankfully that's not the case with ReelinCash. They pay!

Before I do any review on a site, I make sure I sign up and login to get a look on the inside to see what's going on with contests and the like. I also do a check on the forums as that's usually where members post their payment proof. You can see the ReelinCash payment proof section here.

At ReelinCash, you not only get paid to complete offers, but they also have monthly contests and daily surveys. They currently have two daily surveys that you can complete every 24 hours. One for $.80 and one for $1.00. This means that you can always come back everyday to complete these and have a for sure $54 in your account every month (if they would credit every single time).

As of right now, they are running two contests.

Most cash earned by the end of the month:
- 1st Place - Nintendo DS.
- 2nd Place - $50 Cash Bonus.

Most Hooks Earned
- $34 TigerDirect GiftCard

"Hooks" are a prize system that ReelinCash uses that are in other words "points". Sometimes there's special offers that you do that will give you a certain amount of hooks. These hooks can be reedeemed inside their "Cabin"(prize shop) for rewards such as game consoles, gift cards, movies, books and other electronics. Although extra prizes in GPT sites have never been of any interest to me because most people are focused on the money, it would be pretty neat to look over and see that you have enough points racked up to get something extra and you didn't even know you had them.

Overall ReelinCash looks like a good GPT site to make money with and shiftcode being the only downside. But that's really not a big deal. They feel that they pride themselves in friendly customer service and they offer high and competitive payouts. Payments are sent around the 20th of the following month. The prizes aren't too shabby either. Some of the other things the owner mentioned were LCD monitors, iPods and digital cameras.

I also forgot to mention that you get paid $1.00 for making a post in their forum. They encourage you to become an active user over there. Sign up to ReelinCash!

Yesterday I saw an attempt made on DP by a new forum user to steal everyones email passwords. So I thought I'd make a post to let everyone who does not know about this to know about it in case you're ever a victim.

It's quite simple actually...

The Situation:

A girl suspects that her boyfriend might be chatting it up with some other hottie online. So she wants to get into his email account to read his emails just to set her mind at ease, or finally see the real proof. So this girl does a Google search trying to find out how to get someones email password, or she asks on a forum.

The girl stumbles upon the perfect page with the perfect info for what she's trying to do exactly. It's perfect! Now she can get into her boyfriends email account and see what naughty girls he's been talking to! Here's an example of what she may find:

if you want to steal or hack someones hotmail account just follow the instructions to have their password sent to YOUR email account.
1) Send an email to pw_recovery_hotmail[at]hotmail.com with YOUR password as the subject title so they can send your victims password back to your account
2) Put this code inside the message.

[5656.hm]xrc-code1/password-recovery]-hotmail.retrieve=staff/ relative=immediate[your friends email address here]

The above message is just an example that I wrote of what these could look like. Some are different. And it doesn't matter what type of account it is. Can be AOL, Gmail, Hotmail etc.

What REALLY Happens After You Follow Their Instructions:

After you do what they say in hopes for retrieving your friends/cheaters/boyfriends/girlfriends password, you'll probably wait patiently as the email arrives with the password so you can have access to their email account. But the above code is fake. It doesn't mean anything. Just some gibberish I wrote out to look like it's some sort of programming code. But average online users don't know that. They think they're doing a hack.

The person that provided you the instructions is a scammer. He actually owns pw_recovery_hotmail[at]hotmail.com (an email account to resemble some sort of real hotmail password recovery account) and you just sent him your email account password (remember, you put your password in the subject box). Now this guy will change your password so you can't get into your own account. He also has full access to your entire address book with all your friends emails so he can spam them with offers such as free viagra or anything else that can make him money. Doh!

This is just a heads up to everyone who doesn't know about this method. Don't fall for this if you see it around the net somewhere, unless your email account means nothing to you.
