How to find a good web host

If you currently have your blog or site at one of those free blog providers I think you would love to have your blog or site on your own place. Not only will it be good for traffic and potential customers it will also give you inspiration and freedom to do exactly as you like without any restrictions when it comes to design or functionality.

When you are choosing a web host you have to be careful with which company to choose. The best is to do some research before you decide which one to go with. You don’t want to end up with a company that has more downtime than uptime. You should also be guaranteed that you can get the help you need when you bump in to problems as well. Companies with good customer service is something you should look for.

Kaushal Sheth has made a little list with the best web hosting companies he found while searching.

How to find out your TLA affiliate link

If you are a member of Text Link Ads you might want to put up a button or a text link with your affiliate link. But unfortunately TLA’s own JavaScript affiliate code doesn’t work everywhere. It didn’t work for me in WordPress.

So what I did was that I created a new HTML file, copied and pasted the affiliate code from TLA and then saved it on my computer. Then I opened the HTML file in a browser (Firefox), I right clicked the link and chose "Copy link location" (in Internet Explorer you can right click and then choose "Copy Shortcut"), and then I was ready to paste the real URL anywhere I wanted it to be.

But remember, the reason TLA use the JavaScript code is because to protect it from the almighty Google, since you can get slapped by them for selling links on your website.

Get paid to blog with Smorty

There are several paid to post sites on the net, and besides PPP, Smorty is one of the best there is. Both registered advertisers and bloggers will get benefit and profit from their service. Advertisers can advertise on blogs and get the word out for their services and products and the bloggers get cash.

This is the second blog I have added to Smorty and I am very happy with their opportunities, that always starts at $6 and I have been paid several times with in a week, instead of having to wait 30 days for payment on other sites. Signing up and adding your blog is really easy, you don’t have to wait very long to get it approved (or unapproved).

In order to get approved by Smorty, your blog should be maintained with at least two postings per week on average, receive some traffic, be at least three months old and it should be indexed by Google.

So give Smorty a try and get paid for blogging! You won’t regret it!
