My AdBrite vs Kontera Update

After spending a couple of weeks or so using AdBrite,  I decided to switch back to Kontera.  After reviewing the income, I found that Kontera worked better for my sites than AdBrite did. Taking into consideration that Kontera is only an inline text ad program, I still found that Kontera outperformed AdBrite hands down.  Using [...]

Sprucing Up the Writing Tools

Recently it became necessary for me to purchase a new laptop. I went to the Dell Outlet to purchase a refurbished machine. I never purchase new laptops or computers. To me, purchasing a brand new laptop or computer is like purchasing a brand new car. Why spend the extra money for the latest and greatest [...]

My Final Story with Today.com

I thought I’d share a few emails I received and sent to Today.com after they closed my account.  The emails are pretty much self explanatory: My email to Today: Since you have disabled my account, kindly remove all of my content from your site or continue paying me the latest going rate. Thank you, Felicia [...]

Is Today.com Shooting Themselves in the Foot?

Thanks to one of my readers (yes I’m referring to you Sher); I happened upon Hospitalera’s Blog. Apparently Hospitalera had a pretty successful blog over at Today.com.  All appeared to be going great when one day she received an email from Today stating that they were changing her payment rate.  Shortly thereafter, she received another [...]

My 200th Post

This is my 200th blog post and it saddens me that the topic couldn’t be something more inspiring or thought provoking.  Instead it has to be about spam and CAPTCHA. Some time ago I wrote a post  about CAPTCHA boxes and how annoying I found them to be.  Unfortunately, because No Job for Mom has [...]

Kontera vs. AdBrite Inline Text Ads

For a period of a year or so I’ve been using Kontera Inline Text ads on some of my other sites.  My income from Kontera fluctuates depending on traffic.  When traffic is good, so are the Kontera earnings, and when traffic is bad, so is the income.  The amount I earn has little to do [...]

eHow Does Some Spring Cleaning

eHow is doing some much needed housecleaning.  They’re removing articles that don’t meet with their writing standards.  I’m very much in favor of this housecleaning. As I’ve mentioned before, I know that I’ve written an article or two for eHow that I was less than proud of and fully expected to have some of my [...]

The Dreaded WordPress Upgrade

Ever since I started this blog a year ago, I’ve been using the same word press version of software. (I think).  I can’t even tell you which version it is because I don’t know where to look for it.  I might have upgraded it once when it was an easy automatic upgrade but when WordPress [...]
