What Is A Good Plugin?
RULE#1-A Good Plugin Never Mess Up Your Wordpress Database
Some “unique” plugins like(um..I won’t tell you,find it yourself as I will be sued) have “special powers” to make your Wordpress database go corrupted.Besides,some crap will make your blog to load slower than the tortise.I have found and tried using plugins that sucks.The best way to get quality is to follow this set of instructions:
- Go to www.wordpress.org/extend/plugins
- Click on the popular tags on the left sidebar
- You will see a “What other people are saying” link and check on them.(More links means it is more preferable)
RULE#2-The plugins is not shareware or other things else.
It is really not advisable to use paid plugins as it is not worth it.Besides that,Wordpress is an open source project under the GPL license and so all the plugins should be made open source too.Brian Gardner is a good role model as he changed his excellent themes to open source.

Top Ways Everyone Can Make Money Using A Technology Called Internet
It is actually very difficult to miss the word “Internet” or “World Wide Web” in the modern ages thanks to CERN(a lab who invented or implemented the internet).We now can hear about the internet discussed in the TV,media,teenagers,children,adult and even in business.In this post, I will talk about a new hi-tech web-based software called blog and how you can monetize it.
What The Heck Is A Blog
Um…So what exactly is the thing so called BLOG????Thats a very essential thing to know before we go in the subject of blogging for money.
There are really a few answers to this particular question,from the technical view to the normal view.To be frank,a blog is actually a kind of website.This website of mine is called blog too but maybe all of you know.
What Should I Blog About?
Well,many people ask about what should they blog about.This question is always overlooked as everyone thinks that they don’t know what they are expertise in.But in reality everyone knows something and always someone will find them and ask them about something.Take me for example,when I was not in this Internet Marketing thingy,I know a lot about computers ,and my friend always ask me about them.
So as I said in reality you know something so shout it loud out to the internet community.But there’s a catch and don’t blog about something you have no idea in such as blogging about weight loss or dog training to get high priced keywords but have little or no content for your readers.The ideal How To style blog is like the girl at www.sodevious.net who blogs about her design on Adobe Photoshop.Besides that,please don’t blog about yourself like what I said in http://www.internetmarketeen.com/review-personalblog/ but there’s also a catch which is you must make your personal views on things which are going on such as http://culturedecoded.wordpress.com/ and make the online community love your views.Try to contradict the public views!
How Can I Monetize My Blog
There are actually numerous ways which you can scrap a living from your blog.Furthermore,advertising is the most used method to get money quick.The most and ever popular advertising system which bloggers like is Google Adsense.There are also some other options such as:
- Text Link Ads
- Kannodle Ads
- Yahoo Publisher Network
- Adverlets
- Blogads
Besides that,there are also product-based advertising such as Chitika’s eMiniMalls advertising system and Amazon Affiliate Network.These networks are normally either contectually or based on the blogger’s choices.These services usually works well and damn good conversion sometimes with product reviews site such as this http://www.kidreviewer.com/.
There are also more monetizing tips but this single post can’t squeeze in a lot of juice so I will talk about them next time in my blog monetizing catagories.
Buying And Selling Blogs
I got introduced to this idea after reading Darren Rowse Problogger book.He said that the greatest reason why it is okay to flip blogs because someone out there may want to buy the blog you feel is average for a damn big sum of green papers.Take a blog network like Weblogs Inc for example,it was sold to AOL for 6 Million dollars.WOW!!!
Besides that,Darren said that buying blog is the shortest path to get a stable blog that is already running.
Buying gives you a head start,especially if you are entering a market with a lot of tough competition.Though there are instances of blogs gaining tration very quickly,none can compete with the immediate effect of taking ownership of a mature property.
That is just like why you would buy property that are ready made because you won’t need to spend a heck lots of time to build it up.
I think thats all for this post.Please tell me what you think in the comment box below.
Why Internet Marketing Is The Best Help During Recession
During this bad times where everyday the stock market keep showing you red numbers and companies keep sacking people,you might panic whether you will get sacked too.But,here are some good news where you can still survive despite jobless by a new medium or technology called the INTERNET!Besides doing the internet marketing job yourself,you can also call your children or teenagers which are better to do it for you as it is very easy even you have no idea in computers or IT.Here are some good reasons why your internet marketing can help you and must do it before I talk about them later it my next post.
- You can set up an online business that works on autopilot.That also means that cash will flow in even when you sleep and I will be sharing the secrets on my future posts.
- You get paid over and over again-You will get about 1000 times of payments after doing one time job.Once you either have a website or a product,you can keep promoting or getting visitors all over again.It’s now over a year or more since I setup my blog and I get Adsense revenue every month.
- Need little or even no start-up costs-You don’t need any storefront because you run your internet business ona virtual storefront called web-hosting and rental cost as low as $4.95 per month.
- No Employees Needed-With Online Business,you need no employees as all online tools such as autoresponder,web analytics,sales pages are your guys working for you.
- You can work whever you wish-You can work from the Artic till the Antartica and still able to manage your making money online business because you can surf the net anywhere if you have phone line.

Top 5 Reasons Not To Use Free Hosting
If you are still starting on Internet Marketing,you might be tempted to use free web hosting services as it save costs and needs no monthly payment.But they are a lot of negative effects if you use them and it might make your IM plan does not go well at all.Besides that,it may even damage your reputation as an internet salesperson or marketer.Here are 5 top reasons why free hosting sucks.
- No Customer Services At All-If your site is going to lauch a new product or having a giveaway or even Diggers love your articles and you are having to get a traffic spike is the bad time if your site is down.The worst case is no customer service to calm you or console you when you need them.
- Damn Advertising On Your Sales Page-In exchange for your MB or GB on their web server,the host will hundred percent put ads on your sales page.These ads not only don’t make you money but distract your visitors from your sales page.
- Long Domain-Do you like www.InternetMarketeen.com or www.InternetMarketeen.20megsfree.com?
- Lack of features-Free web hosting company rarely lets you upload file but instead allows you to edit a template.Furthermore,it does not have Simple Script or Fantastico preinstalled and you can’t have a Wordpress blog.
- Lack of Credibility-Would you ever buy from me if I told you that I have made 100,000 USD but can’t afford a 5 dollars per month hosting fees?You wouldn’t right?Your first impression to your visitors or customers will like shit if you couldn’t even afford a month’s hosting fees.
Anything that I left out guys?Please let me know.
