    What plugins help with ad placement on a Wordpress blog?

    I like the WP125 but I am not sure if it is exactly what you are looking for. The ads are 125x125 and it automatically keeps track of how many days the ad should be on your blog - if somebody pays for 30 days then you put that in and it is how long the ad is displayed. You can choose for the...

    Best hosting for personal/business site?

    I have only heard of them from their TV commercials so I do only know the name. I have to agree with you tho to stay away from them if that is the only way I heard the name and nobody else seems to have even heard of them. Hostgator is quite popular and I have never seen a TV ad for them...

    Best hosting for personal/business site?

    I have heard of 1&1 but only heard the name, I don't know anything about them. Many hosting companies are good but I know that Hostgator makes it easy for you if you are going to create a self hosted Wordpress blog. They have an automatic install for Wordpress so you are up in minutes. Then...

    Pinterest

    You do have to have a photo to post, but you don't have to have a photography blog. I don't add a photo to every post but I also don't pin every post either. When I pin a picture from my blog, I only pin photos that I personally took. A photography blog would be one that specializes in...

    Pinterest

    My blogs are not dedicated to photography and the one is about daily life adventures but Pinterest is one of my top traffic sources. I don't take a ton of pictures and post them, but my daily life blog is a parenting blog so I take pictures of the things we do or the recipes I create and they...

    Pinterest

    I am getting traffic from Pinterest and I haven't pinned anything recently. I just have been so busy that I haven't logged in lately. One of my pictures that is from one of my blog posts keeps getting repinned so that makes me happy. But it is a tasty recipe and recipes do well there. One...

    How To Keep Credit Card Secure While Online Shopping

    I don't usually trust a site that doesn't take Paypal unless it is a big company like Kohl's or something like that. If they take other processors but not Paypal, I definitely don't trust them because they may have got banned which would be a bad sign. But if you really want to order something...

    Commenting on popular blogs vs commenting on smaller blogs

    I comment on any post that I find useful, funny or just enjoy. This can be popular blogs or small blogs, as long as I like the post. I find that I probably get more traffic from smaller blogs tho as long as my comment is contributing to the conversation. Popular blogs can be overwhelming and...

    Hostgator Review

    At the moment my Wordpress blog is quite simple and it doesn't even show as using really any of my allotted usage - but it is fairly new and not a ton of traffic yet. I was thinking about adding either a forum or social plugin to it tho so I hope that it doesn't affect my site!

    What carrier do you have?

    I have had it with the contract companies and went with Virgin Mobile. Much cheaper and they have better customer service in my opinion. I had Verizon Wireless for about 10 years and was a wireless VIP there for a while, but they got way too expensive and I had problems with them not wanting...

    Google+ commenting for Blogger

    Blogger is a Google product so as far as I know you are not able to use a Facebook comments on Blogger. They enabled Google+ and I have been trying it out to see. I like Google+ better then Facebook and a lot better then Twitter tho personally. I have found the interaction to be better with...

    How Long Do You Stay On Facebook?

    You may want to set an alarm on your phone or on your computer if you find yourself losing track of time like that! I sometimes do lose track of time of FB, but only when I am relaxing and playing a game like Farmville. I don't market as much on Facebook so I really have to watch the clock when...

    Making Use of Old Broken Laptops

    Oh definitely! At the very least, you need to know to be grounded and to never touch any board without being grounded or you could have fried the board you touched. Static electricity is horrible on the components on the circuit boards.

    What Types of Layouts Do You Typically Lean Toward?

    I like fairly basic templates for blogs, tho I do like to add some pictures and customize it a little. I don't need the scrolling banner on the top of my site tho. I need to have 3 columns (1 being the main for the posts) and I like to be able set up pages and categories without limitations...

    Stumbleupon Marketing

    I have recently signed up for an account there, but I have not done much with StumbleUpon yet. I have heard that you can get a lot of traffic for a short time from StumbleUpon but then it starts to drop down a little. Is it worth it? Probably yes. It is free so you are not paying people to...

    Do you use Dreamweaver?

    I haven't used it myself, but I don't create sites or templates for others. I have always just used the editor for my blogging platform and previewed before updating. But I never did a full template either. Is Dreamweaver pretty user friendly for somebody fairly new to HTML? I mean I know the...

    Adsense Alternatives?

    AdHitz can be pretty decent but they do base your pay on the amount of traffic your site gets. There are different forms of advertising tho. You can have advertisers buy a spot on your site, they can show default ads on your site for (I believe) PPC and other options. Pretty cool site as an...

    Paid to Post Content

    I am a member at Social Spark, but I have never taken any of the opportunities. I get the emails and the leads they send me are relevant, I just have not applied to any of them yet. I have worked with individuals who have contacted me tho. I like to do that since you get paid right away and...

    Have you ever promoted a post on Facebook?

    The problem for me tho is that I am not selling anything on my blogs. I mean sometimes I sell advertising and stuff like that, but I don't promote things for the most part and I don't have my own products. That is why I am frustrated they are doing this to us. How much does it cost per post...

    Which social networking site do you like most?

    I like Google+ better then both Twitter and Facebook. I do like both of them, but Google+ is preferred out of the 3. Pinterest is another one that I like as it has been giving me traffic to my blogs. Facebook tries to hard to get us to pay for things to promote and Twitter is good, but I...
