Knoll, not a competion for Wikipedia

I’m always searching for new topics on my blogs and I found out that most bloggers today are talking about Knoll so I tried to search for it on the search engines like Google and Yahoo but found no results for it except that it is a character on Warcraft. I almost given up on my quest to find it from the source until one day while I was writing new post to my lyrics blog that I notice something that caught my eye on my Blogger platform. Yes, it was Knoll, I found it at a last so here am now trying to review this new tool from Google which some are claiming that would compete with Wikipedia.

I got into the site and find out that it is more of a community of writers because it is full of articles just like Wikipedia but it doesn’t really look very enticing at all. The website design is not that good like Wikipedia. Right now there are only few articles their so I don’t see it would attract a lot of visitor with the way it is going right now. Who knows if it would be successful? With Google on its back, this is very possible but I think that it would never replace Wikipedia like most people are claiming right now. Sure that you can earn with its sharing revenue when you write for them. The whole system works like as if you are writing for Associated Content wherein you are going to earn a few cents for every exposure the article gets, except that you must have an Adsense account to earn from them.

Playstation 3 Review

Today I’m thinking of reviewing another product from a game. Actually this product is the console itself. Without this you can’t be even play the game. It is the Playstation 3 40 GB from Sony which cost $399.99 and can be bought here. The price is just right since you are going to have a PS platform with you. Now, Sony isn’t making anymore PS games fro the Playstation 2, this would be timely investment because they are making more PS 3 games. The details are as follows.

Product Details

  • Amazon Sales Rank: #12 in Computer & Video Games
  • Brand: Sony
  • Model: 98007
  • Released on: 2008-02-12
  • Platform: PLAYSTATION 3
  • Dimensions: 1.00 pounds

Features

  • Internal 40GB HDD for storing your games, music, and photos
  • Built-in Blu-ray player
  • Cell Broadband Engine advanced microprocessor
  • SIXAXIS wireless controller

I heard that they have added some features like video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing and digital audio. This is even far better than the PS 2 which only has the DVD playback. If you are going to check out the inside then you will find out that it has an IBM “Cell” processor that enables it to perform 2 trillion calculations per seconds. I think that I have said enough and its time for you to check it out for yourself here.

Signed up with Performancing Ads

I have signed up with Performancing Ads yesterday. I said to myself that if they aren’t quick enough on putting some ads on my site then I’m going to remove their ad code. I have setup my ads to be a no follow to prevent future loss of page rank. Although it is written somewhere on their site that you can setup your ads to be no follow or do follow, I thought that it would be better to be safe then to loose my 3 months’ work. It is a hard labor and I don’t think that loosing my page rank instantly would keep me up doing my online business. Yes, I’m trying to make this a stable source of income so that I could leave my job. I enjoy my job right now but I think that it would be better if I could have an online business since my work has its month of no work. I have seen lots of work but not the same amount of work that I could see on my job page the last few months. Enough with my ramblings and it is time to review this new site which I’m hoping that could give me the income that I need.

They work like Project Wonderful where they have their own set of publisher and advertisers on their market place. What I like about them is that they have you can earn better than Project Wonderful because they have set up their price on dollars not like Project Wonderful which can be bought by just cents.

Applying is just easy because you don’t need to be approved like in Adsense. After I have applied I immediately went to work on putting some ads on my site. First you must download their software then upload it to your hosting company. Put it into the plug-in folder and then activate it on your Wordpress plug-in dashboard. Add it to where you want to put it. At first I thought that it would take a week or month to find an advertiser on my site but this morning I found out that I already got an advertiser.

My first page rank

Today I got my first page rank. I was waiting for this for three months and today it just happened. Although I already heard that Google has been updating its page rank this week, I thought that the guy have mistaken it from a penalty. Digital forum members has been saying that it is just Google doing some penalty on those sites that are doing paid per post.

Yesterday, I tried to check my page rank on pagerank(dot)info to see whether I have a new page rank and their it was. This site has now a ranking of 1 from Google. I was very happy that I couldn’t think of anything else but how can I monetized my new ranking since more offers will be opened from pay per post site like Smorty, PayPerPoost and the likes. It was very hard for me to sleep that day since this is the first time that I got a page rank. I remember that my blogger blog was 5 month’s old but it never got any page rank at all. I know that a pr 1 isn’t enough for you but I think that it would still help me on my quest to make money online. Still I was hoping that they have given me a pr 3 since I was working very hard this past month.

I thought that I would hold on doing some paid per posting task and text link ads until the update is over. It is better to be safe than sorry. That way I could be enjoying my page rank a lot more.

Exchanging Post with the Noob

I can’t believe it that Bloggernoob is giving a way a free review on his. He is charging a $60 per review and now he is willing to review your blog for free. At first I thought that it was a joke or something because guys like him never ever gives anyone some review on their blogs for free. I mean he has established his name for a long time and then he will just be giving some free review on his blog for just like that.

As a response for his calling, I’m now reviewing his blog and hope that I will get a review back on his blog. First at all, I don’t think that the name sure fits his intelligence because he has been teaching a lot of ways on how to make money online based on his past experience and yet he likes to be called as a noob.

I tried to browse through his I found out that he is only a part time on the world of blogging. He has several off line business that I don’t really know if it has something to do with his business online. I can’t really believe the figures that he manage to earn on his first month because I know that it is very hard to earn on the first five months and yet he manage to earn as much as $700.

By now, I’m sure why does he is doing this since Google never likes those who are exchanging links. I think that the answer doesn’t really lies with Google because Technorati is as important as Google too. If you have a good rank on Technorati then your chances on being found by most search engine is higher.

Gmail is concerned with your safety

I’m sure that security is the first concerned of everyone when we are going to banks to do transaction with them. What they do is that they are hiring only those trusted people so that they can be sure that our account will be safe and thus will be given the best service that they have to offer.

Remember that credit cards and ATM cards tends to have a password and if we enter the wrong pin then the account will be blocked. It must be enabled by bank employees so that it can be used again on transacting.

The same thing can be considered on our account online. Gmail has always made sure that our account with them is safe if we are using the https. HTTPS will then encrypt the password while it passes to their server so that the users can rest assure that no one knows about them. Not even the employees of Gmail will know their password. The downfall of using https is that it makes your browser slow because it tries to encrypt those passwords.

Gmail has been thinking about this and has come to conclusion that not everyone likes to use the feature. What is working for Jose won’t work for John. Now Gmail lets you set your browser to use which one do you like. You can set it to http so that it can run fast but unprotected or you can set it as https and enjoy the safeties but slow.

Theme Directory is open to the Public

Wordpress recently announced that they would open Theme Directory to the public. It only means that more them to the general public and more back links fro those who will create free themes to the public.

It seems that Wordpress is giving an opportunity for those who on their theme and then give it away for free to get known. As I already stated above, they are doing this in order to get more back links for their websites. If they got more back links then their ranking will go up. This has been one of the best ways to get back links so far.

Of course, with this opportunity, comes the responsibility that your theme should be of quality or else they wouldn’t accept it to their list. You might be asking right now once, you have made your theme then what would be the next procedure. The procedure is much easier than before because all you have to do is to log on your wordpress.com account then look for the “Upload Page”. You should upload your theme zip file. After that they would do some quality checks and then they will send an email which says what is the problem of your theme, you should fix it and them submit it again for approval. Once they have seen that it is perfect for use then they would send an email again saying that your theme is approve.

Getting my act together

These past days I noticed that I find it harder to write even a single post on my blogs. I feel tired and am thinking of what to write all the time but I couldn’t just do it because I don’t have the energy. Although I do admit that every day seems hard to find a topic to write. My job is also affected for I couldn’t do them on a daily basis and would miss a lot of jobs to complete on time.

I have already taken out my game Age of Empire 3 since I’m thinking that it has gotten most of my time for playing. I notice that I have created some free time for me to complete my jobs but it isn’t enough so I’m thinking of getting rid some of TV habits. Those TV shows that doesn’t really add some knowledge to like those cartoons. Yes, I’ve been watching cartoons and I think that it is time to forget about them because when I am working on off line jobs before I don’t watched this shows since I’m at work on my 8 – 5 pm job.

I’m just hoping that this could help to get myself on the right track again.

Sezwho doesn’t support Wordpress 2.6

It seems that the partnership between the Entrecard and Sezwho has its advantage and at the same time some disadvantage too. I’m sure that a lot of bloggers are now enjoying the features that Sezwho incorporates to your blog, whoever I couldn’t say the same thing to the ones who upgraded their dashboard to Wordpress 2.6 that is launched recently. They aren’t supporting it.

At first, I was very happy to find a way to know a bit more about my commentators and have tried to avail of this feature by giving them the information they needed but I was disappointed because I couldn’t use the said feature because they are only supporting Wordpress 2.6. So, my application on their service is hanging right now. Why should I avail of the service when it won’t work on my blog? What’s the point?

I’m just hoping that they would be creating a new version that supports Wordpress 2.6, I’m sure that many will be availing of their service once they do so.

Upgraded to Wordpress 2.6

This is morning I got into scared that I thought that I would lost all of my post and that I need to start to creating articles from the scratch again because I thought that I have deleted all my post while upgrading to Wordpress 2.6 . If you are a regular reader then I’m sure that you have notice that the theme has change into a common one. The reason for changing the theme is accidental.

As I login to my Dashboard I notice that version 2.6 is now available for download. Having quite irritated by the performance of version 2.5 . Immediately downloaded the newest version and start working on upgrading my Dashboard. With little knowledge I began to delete some of my files from my server only to find out that I have made a mistake on doing so. Finding out that I have made a mistake I began thinking that deleting the remaining files couldn’t make any difference. After a moment, I began worried because I can’t see to make it work. I thought that I will be loosing all of my articles like the comment that I have read on one of the blogs that I have been reading. I said to myself that I couldn’t solve anything if I will just worry and then went on watching TV to clear my mind. After the television show is finished I got back on reviving my blog. I think that it does the trick

I think that video presentation is much better than just reading all about the new version so here it is.
