Blogsvertiser Advertisers Buy My Blog Ad But They Didn’t Pay Me

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

This is NOT first time I have received the same email as below saying that Blogsvertise advertisers cancelled campaign and ask to remove the blog ad. If it is not mistaken, this is third times. I’m so angry about this and I think it is time voice out and let all bloggers know about this issue. I already cannot again and again suffer from the mistake made by Blogsvertiser or their advertisers.

blogsvertiser advertiser cancel campaign

These Blogsvertise advertisers cancelled the campaigns after my post ad already submitted and they are approved, I’m waiting for the payment for these campaigns. Now suddenly they said cancelled the campaigns and I cannot get pay for these campaigns. WTF!!! This is something like you buy my product but you didn’t pay me. Who want to do this type of business that make a loss in this world?

It is not happen to me only, I heard from my friends, they also faced the same problem like me. I have checked my account, there are 3 campaigns have been cancelled. If I spend 20 minutes to complete the post ad, so I already spent 1 hour to complete 3 blog ads. You see, I waste my 1 hour time, I rather to use this 1 hour and go for sleep because since I blogging, I sleep less compared to last time I’m not blogging.

Both Blogsvertise and their advertisers not responsible, there is one do nothing and never find the best solution to solve this problem and another one like to simply cancel their campaign like child playing sand.

P/S: Sending an email to notify bloggers about the campaign cancellation is not a best solution to solve this problem and we don’t like to receive this type of email. This is really not good to hear, man!

Shorten And Track Your Long Url Links With URLZoom.org

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Many bloggers use shortened url to hide their affiliate links but it seem this is not a good way to promote affiliate products and services. I personally think that the main usage of shortened url is to shorten the long url into tiny url.

urlzoom

If you are looking for the free service to shorten the long url into tiny url which allow tracking, it is worth to check out URLZoom. By using their service, you will be able to replace your long url links with short url links and you can even track how many clicks the link received and from where the clicks are coming from with date and time as well.

urlzoom linklist

Without register the URLZoom, you also can enter a long url to make it tiny on the frontpage of URLZoom, the only thing is that you are unable to enjoy the ability to track and analyze their short url links.

Another Bug for Wordpress 2.5 - Custom Field

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Many bloggers have reported the bugs for the recent released wordpress 2.5, but I cannot remember what they are. After I upgraded wordpress 2.5 for my gallery site named Wordpress Theme Store (WPThemeStore.com), I have faced some problem after added the custom field.

Look at the screenshoot below, when I create new post for my gallery post, I have added two custom fields for the key of “url” and “Thumbnail”, after put in the title and category of this post, and then I publish it.

custom field

Do you know what happen after the post is published? I found that my thumbnail for my gallery post didn’t showed, then I try to look back the post and check back all the data that I have inserted for this post.

I found that one of the custom fields is disappeared as per screenshoot below, that’s custom field for “Thumbnail” key is disappeared, no wonder the thumbnail cannot showed.

At first, I don’t believe this is a bug, within giving up then I try another time for the new posting. Yes, the same problem is occurred.

Do you face the same problem like me? I don’t know, but I will try to contact wordpress for this bug.

Selling Contextual Link on LinkXL

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Are you getting bored to write paid review? Especially those fussy advertisers pay $5 for 300words review, I will NOT going to take their offers like this.

Now, you can do nothing on LinkXL, except putting the LinkXL Wordpress plugin on your blog and start selling contextual link (sell text link within your existing content).

They accept DoFollow and NoFollow text links, if you think your blog has page rank and want to sell NoFollow text links to avoid penalize by Google, you can go for it.

I will not going to write this post longer, in short, for those who want to make easy money for selling text link within your existing content using automate system, be sure you check out LinkXL.

Blogging Secret Review - Part 1

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

It is been 6 months long I have created Blogging Secret, and I think it is time for me to review my blog for this first 6 months (Part 1). In this period of time, currently Blogging Secret has gained decant rankings as below:-

  • Page Rank: 3
  • Technorati: 9,564 (Top 10k)
  • Alexa: 152,016

I’m so happy and satisfied with the current rankings that Blogging Secret has gained as above although I didn’t generate many online incomes now with the help of these rankings. So far, I only have sold 1 private review and 2 text link ads with nofollow. If you are interested in advertising on Blogging Secret, be sure you check my advertise page.

What I Have Done for Blogging Secret in this 6 Months?

  1. Think a nice blog name and search for nice domain name which are suit to my niche
  2. Join MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog
  3. Gained massive traffic from StumbleUpon and BloggingZoom
  4. Exchange link
  5. Design free wordpress theme named Ads Theme
  6. Comment other bloggers’ blog posts
  7. PayPerPost advertising
  8. Keep blogging niche contents (this is very important)

What is the Next Planning for Blogging Secret?

My free Ads Theme for wordpress is quite popular now and wisely used by Blogspot user after eBlogTemplate has converted Ads Theme to Blogger Template. So now, I’m considering to design a premium wordpress theme which I think it is quality and nice looking premium wordpress theme with competitive price than other competitors.
