31 Aug This post is from from my other blog here We read this little article on Yahoo Sports’ coverage of the 2008 Summer Olympics. It’s about a tiny young woman from Somalia who competed in the 20 meter dash. She was the slowest of the pack. So slow, that her 8 seconds difference from the rest of the runners left her alone on the track. There’s no way the half-full stadium will miss her and they roared and applauded as she crossed the finish line. We sure could use the following words from her for inspiration, “I was happy the people were cheering and encouraging me but I would have liked ...
28 Aug This post is from from my other blog here Before anything else, what is a bounce rate? It has nothing to do with the spherical humans depicted in the animated movie Wall-E. It’s another way for Google to say our blogs or sites are not making the grade. ReapMoneyOnline recently crashed and we have to start afresh. We thought it would be a good time to monitor our traffic data in Google Analytics, taking a close look at RMO’s bounce rate. So ...
27 Aug This post is from from my other blog here The Fuwa, the 5 mascots for the Beijing Olympics, were true harbingers of luck. After the finally tally, China has an unprecedented 51 gold medals. It’s still a long way to the record set by the United States in 1984 with 83 golds but luck was not the sole basis for the Chinese athletes’ impressive performance. As this Yahoo sports article says, China will repeat its gold harvest in succeeding Olympics and with 1.3 billion people for a talent pool, that target may not be that far off in the future. Age, human rights, and political issues aside, how can bloggers ...
24 Aug This post is from from my other blog here Ashley Qualls is a real life Cinderella. No, she didn’t go to the prom with glass slippers. Instead her fairy godmothers, Google Adsense and other advertisers, transformed her life from just another teen living with her divorced mom and a sister in a one-bedroom apartment to a millionaire web entrepreneur. It all started when Ashley bought a domain for $8.00 and used it to do what she loved most as a 14-year old, doodle with MySpace layouts and gave it away to her online buddies in her website, whateverlife.com. Soon, droves of visitors went to her site for the free layouts, ...
23 Aug This post is from from my other blog here The hosting business is a buyer’s market. There simply are hundreds of web hosting outfits jockeying out there to get our money, right? We could be wrong. What appears to be diverse webhost companies may actually be agents or affiliates of a reseller. Resellers companies may also be leasing servers from datacenters. A hosting reseller program is usually a business proposition. They allow us to have our very own web hosting business with the back-end management and customer support done by the resellers themselves. But let’s look at it from another point-of-view, that of webmasters and web entrepreneurs planning to develop ...
19 Aug This post is from from my other blog here ReapMoneyOnline’s past server issues have forced us to take a closer look at webhosts and web hosting. We did research on the popular web hosting companies for nearly 2 weeks and came out better informed. Web hosting companies usually offer the following packages: shared web hosting, reseller web hosting, Virtual Private Server (VPS), and stand alone servers (managed or unmanaged). 1. Shared Web Hosting. Shared web hosting is the entry level kind of hosting. Overselling is the norm among popular web hosts, they sell space and bandwidth their servers cannot sustain. This is where we see promos like unlimited space and bandwidth.
14 Aug This post is from from my other blog here There are a nearly a dozen popular WordPress plugins for AdSense. RMO has tried nearly all of them but there is one that we have consistently used for nearly a year: WhyDoWork AdSense Plugin for WordPress. We call it a secret because we can’t find it in WordPress.org’s extend directory. Here are the reasons why we love this AdSense plugin for WordPress and consider it the best:
12 Aug This post is from from my other blog here Anybody heard the story about the panda who wants to learn the much-coveted 7 deadly AdSense secrets? It went like this… A panda was in constant awe of the 5 masters of Google AdSense who displayed their mastery of the art by showing off monthly Google checks. He went of to the mysterious mountain to train with the masters and learn their secrets, hoping to make a killing online with a simple twist of the fingers. Much to his surprise, he got slapped around, told to train real hard, and got slapped around some more. He was baffled too, since each of ...
11 Aug This post is from from my other blog here Wed like to take a brief moment to congratulate one of our EntreCard dropmates, The Journey by Anne. It’s going to be 1 year old this August 24. Reaching a year and still going strong is indeed worth celebrating. Anne’s holding a contest (ANNIE-THE JOURNEY FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY PROMO) as a thank you for her loyal fans. Up for grabs are domain names and web hosting. Read about the anniversary promo here.
09 Aug This post is from from my other blog here There’s no web entrepreneur who would not want to be Bill Gates. Okay, maybe not the hair and glasses, but what’s not to like about $50 billion or so and a $97 million house?. The following famous quotes by Bill Gates are inspiring in a way that one of the richest man alive, who have been described as a super entrepreneur, also made mistakes, especially in predicting the future. It’s not manufacturers trying to rip anybody off or anything like that. There’s nobody getting rich writing software that I know of. Interview with Dennis Bathory-Kitsz in 80 Microcomputing (1980) The next generation of ...
07 Aug This post is from from my other blog here Knol, a wikipedia cum squidoo cum article directory service that is uniquely Google was heralded as the Wikipedia whacker. At first glance, its design and layout does bear a likeness to that monolithic online knowledgebase, including the NoFollow tag in every outgoing link. However, the similarity is only skin deep. The working principles between the two are poles apart. In Wikipedia, a host of editors or contributors, often anonymous, keeps one article for each topic. All efforts are voluntary and uncompensated. On the other hand, Knol may contain many articles for every topic, contributed by experts that Google verifies by phone. ...
05 Aug This post is from from my other blog here PlatinumSEO is a comprehensive Search Engine Optimization (SEO) WordPress plugin that comes with everything but the kitchen sink. However, before we tackle it, let’s make sure that our permalinks are already search engine friendly. WordPress’ permalinks out-of-the-box provides a string of symbols and numbers for the title of our blog or posts. We have to set it before we make our first post as all posts prior to the change will become inaccessible, which is exactly what happened to RMO’s first. To prettify our permalinks, simply do the following:

SOmething to lighten up the weekly fare of make money online and web development tips. To start the ball rolling, we are sharing a recent story book project of our elder daugther, Merci.

01 Aug This post is from from my other blog here Cuil? It is pronounced as “cool” (we thought it was cuill) and is the brainchild of Ann Patterson, ex-google engineer whose last search engine technology was itself bought by Google in 2004 and incorporated in it’s own system. Patterson isn’t selling this time, relying instead on a $33 million venture capital to try and eclipse the search engine giant. Patterson (who was disenchanted with Google), her husband Tom Costello, Russell Energy, and Louis Monier (the last 2 also ex-google engineers), have been laboring quietly the past year to create what they believe is the most comprehensive and efficient ...
