Make money blogging!

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Have your ever thought that you could make money blogging on your site? It seems like a scam or a joke, doesn’t it?
Actually, as hard as it is to believe, it is true. Many bloggers, including myself, have made money by writing and posting content on my blog such as this one for example. I was surprised when I found out that you can make a good amount online by blogging and there are sites and companies that will pay you money for blogging through blog advertising, depending on the popularity of your site. After I found out about this opportunity, I searched online for opportunities for making money and I found a site called Payperpost.com which pays you for posting information about advertisers on your blog and you receive a certain amount for that post. I use Payperpost.com the most since they have pay a high amount for certain posts and have a lot of opportunities available. After using Payperpost.com for making money blogging, I’ve learned that it is not easy work to make money by blogging but if you put in a decent amount of work, you can make a good side income by taking opportunities at Payperpost.com and blogging about them.

Ahhh!! Spyware!!!

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

One popup, two popups, computer is running very slowly, and the processor is at 90%. As I sat and wondered what is happening to my computer, I slapped my own head thinking…of course, I should’ve known!! SPYWARE!!!

But how? Why? How could this happen? As I recollected everything I did the previous day, I remembered that I had downloaded and installed a free 3D screensaver program from a site. Now all I had to do was uninstall the program and everything will be back to normal (Of course, as you and I know, it’s never that easy to get rid of spyware! :-) . With my fingers crossed, I uninstalled the program and then opened IE to browse to my email.

Hmm…IE is taking longer to load and BAM!!! there’s a popup on my screen.

Well, I went to download.com and searched for some spyware/adware software and then downloaded one, installed and ran it. It found the spyware, cleaned it, and restarted my computer. Sweet! Everything’s gone…back to normal!! My computer came back on and POPUP!!!! Wait! Didn’t the software get rid of it, what is this?? Well, as you know, just because the software displayed ‘cleaned spyware’ doesn’t mean it’s completely gone. Well, I went back to download.com and tried another one and got the same result. Hmm…there has to be a way to completely get rid of the spyware without having to format my hard drive and reinstall everything. A friend of mine then told me to try Spy Sweeper and because of his recommendation, I decided to give it a try. I ran it on my computer and it started scanning my hard drive, and then found the spyware. After I erased the spyware, I restarted my computer thinking, hmm…how many times will I have to restart this computer. Well, after the computer restarted, I opened IE and tried to test it out by going to a website. This time, IE came up quickly as it should and I didn’t see any popups. I decided to open couple of programs at the same time and everything came up smoothly without any sign of a popup in sight. At that moment, I felt very happy knowing that Spy Sweeper got rid of my spyware and I don’t have to format my hard drive. So, next time you have any issues with spyware, head on over to the Spy Sweeper website and use it to get rid of your spyware problem!
