Ebay Jumps On The Contexual Ad Bandwagon
June 14, 2006
Ebay is on the verge of launching their own contexual ads similar to Google’s Adsense and Yahoo’s YPN. The major difference is that it is not a pay per click program.
The program works like this, you are placing actual Ebay auction links on your site that would probably have some overall context to your blog or website itself, such as if you have a high heels blog, you would put up auctions on high heel shoes. If someone goes through the link on your site, bids and wins the auction you get a 35 to 60% cut of the profits.
I do think it’s a great idea, because millions visit Ebay everyday and buy and sell there. The one major problem is that because it is contextual ads you can’t use it if you already have up Adsense or Yahoo ads.

Blog Feeds and RSS To Blog
June 11, 2006
I came across a program called RSS To Blog and many others like it and I realized that of course newcomers won’t understand what is actually going on with it but I wondered if the other bloggers or wannabe’s that do will even care if they think that they can start pulling in hundred’s or thousands a month through Adsense?
RSS To Blog is program that you can buy which after you set up it can automatically create hundreds of blogs for you and post for you. You sit back and do nothing, while you have a self maintaining blog that updates daily while you hope that you adsense dollars will grow. After looking into it I discovered a few things they don’t tell you.
The first is you need to get a web hosting account going and believe me if you don’t know what your doing good luck on getting it set up. It can be very confusing. You also need to buy a web address. After you do that you can create sub accounts. If you don’t know what a sub account is I will of course explain. If you create an address such as gotmilk.com, the sub accounts would then be, gotmilk.creditcard.com, gotmilk.bookilove.com. You can create a variety of “different” web pages with their own names that way instead of paying tons for new web addresses.
Those are the semi-hard parts but the biggest is the unethical parts of the program. When it says automated and that it automatically updates your blog for you what it is actually doing is scouring the internet and using rss feeds it is taking posts, word for word from other peoples blogs, articles, websites and posting it to your blog and claiming it as yours. If you care only about the money this won’t bother you, but just remember; The web can be a big place, but it is also small in the sense that it won’t be long before someone your stealing from, or someone who knows someone trips across your money making blogs. That is called unethical slash lawsuit waiting to happen.
Your Blog and Making Money

Blogging was first created as a sort of online diary, it then became a way to speak about the things that bug the heck out of you for your friends and other’s to read.
