Ed Earns

After about 4 websites, most of the niche blogs that I set up seem to be purely out of luck. I know I’ve been able to create quality content with them but somehow I’ve been missing a lot since the earnings I was aiming for did not live up to my expectations.

I work in a business process outsourcing industry and I’ve been with the company for more than 5 years already. Some of the things that stop from me leaving, aside from the salary and the people I work with, are a number of perks that I get. Meal and transportation allowance, discounts on certain establishments, great and high quality equipment for working, and a lot more; not to mention the prestige of being employed to a multinational company. These are small things that add up to a sum when you think about it in the long run.

My main travel blog’s website Google Page Rank went up to PR 3!

During the last update, I was surprised to finally get my original PR back on track. After about 4 years worth of blogging about travels, it only increased during this year.

I was a bit worried with the expenses I’ve had this Christmas. It’s so hard to maintain your finances when you’re not the only one you’re thinking about. Blame it as well on my impulsive tendencies, I splurged on some items just because I became so wrapped up with the season’s rush. Everybody’s shopping and buying things which made me want to spend more.

I’ve been a member of Social Spark for about 2 years already, I think. Nowadays, this is where I earn through my blog opportunities. I’m not active in PayPerpost.com or other Sponsored Review sites anymore which is just okay because I’m also working on my freelance work.

I’m loving SocialSpark because of the many opportunities that I’ve been getting at the start of June of this year. The tasks aren’t only many, the payouts are also big; bigger than PayPerPost. At least SocialSpark relies on RealRank which is another form of ranking that is totally different from Google’s PageRank. It’s more reliable for me as it is updated on mostly a daily basis which is pretty good since you get to expect your traffic everyday if it’s going up or down.

PayPerPost and SocialSpark, both are under the same umbrella (IZEA) but both have different ranking categories.

I got my second payout from Adsense!

About $103, and I earned it in a span of 3-4 months I believe which is just a quarter of the time I was able to spend in order to come up with this amount compared to my first adsense payout.

Just when I thought everything would be smooth sailing, my last website that has a more than zero PR –> Edearns.com (PR 1) has been slammed by Google and my PR has now dropped. Ironic that it went down the moment that I blogged about it.

They say it doesn’t really matter if you have a high Page Rank or not. But for me, it still does. It’s a big factor especially when you bid for tasks.
