There are some ads out there that just scare me. These scary internet ads were created as a way to advertise something, but do they get the point across when they just plain out scare you? Take this chick on this ad who just plain scares me. Do women want to be super macho like her? Or is that a man?
Everyday it can be a struggle to find good topics to blog about, and it would be harder if I didn’t use a few tools for finding some good blog topics to write about. Here are a number of tools for finding some good blog topics to write about:
1. Subscribing to RSS Feeds to find Good Blog Topics
Keep yourself informed with news similar to what you’d write about, by subscribing to other blogs with topics similar to your own. This is a good way to keep informed everyday and see what everyone else is blogging about. I personally use iGoogle to keep track of website feeds.
2. Using Google Anayltics to Find Good Blog Topics
Google Analytics will tell you how people found your site on search engines. I’ll use searched keywords to discover it really have effictively covered that topic or not. In fact even this post “How to Find Good Blog Topics” I noticed it had been searched for yet, I had no effectively covered the topic.
3. Using Keyword Tools to Find Good Topics
I currently prefer SeoBook’s Keyword tool to discover new blog topics. It’ll take your one word phrase and find the top searched phrases for a given keyword. Use these phrases to find good topics to write about.

Can you really click and get paid for it? We’ve heard of internet programs that pay you to click ads, but are these scams, or real? In the past we have tested a few programs that paid us to click and we did get paid, but how much was our potential per hour with these pay per click programs?
Becoming a ChaCha Guide
I got paid to answer questions that appeared on my screen with ChaCha. Usually 15 cents per short answer. In the long run, if I worked diligently I cold earn about $6 per hour.
To sign up to get paid by ChaCha visit ChaCha.com and click sign up to be a guide.
Agloco Paid to Click Program: Not Being Paid to Click?
Agloco is an example of a get paid to click program that couldn’t deliver on it’s promises. They promised to pay you a sum of cash as long as you ran their software. In the long run, they couldn’t make any payments and ended up actually losing money in their actual service. Never sign up for a pay per click program unless you are absolutely sure someone has already earned cash.
Other Pay Per Click Programs That Could Work:
There are other sites such as paidtoclick.com, paid to read emails, etc, that offer you cash to read emails, click ads, etc. Keep in mind you won’t earn more than even a cent per click. Often the amount of spam you receive, the time it takes per click, you can’t earn more than a few dollars an hour. Maybe if you live in China, this is a deal, but overall we’ve noticed that most of these programs are time stealers more than anything.
Stay at home mom and really bored? Great, then sign up. But or the rest of us, Paid to Click programs offer nothing more than non productivity and a few cents for our efforts.

If you travel, you realize that having a good international wireless internet plan can be critical for your business. As I blogger, I want wireless internet wherever I am, so whether I need to answer an email or blog another post, I can. The Best Global Wireless Internet Plans are getting cheaper and cheaper as more mobile companies create plans that cover you, wherever you are on the planet.
The Best International Wireless Internet Plans
T-Mobile - T-Mobile has already developed Global Internet Hotspots across the planet, in coffee shops, airports, in Europe, Asia, and North America. Hotspots include: Starbucks coffeehouses, Borders Books and Music stores, FedEx Kinko’s Office and Print Centers, Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, Red Roof Inns, Sofitel and Novotel Hotels, the airline clubs of American, Delta, United and US Airways, and select airports.
Global access can get pricy, paying up to .15 cents per minute to access the internet.
Boingo - Boingo has one of the largest international wifi networks, with one cheap price. They’ve mainly covered airports and hotels across the globe. In the United States, they’ve generally covered McDonalds, hotels, and airports.
Currently Boingo has a 30 day trial for windows mobile phones which seems like a good deal especially if you have any upcoming trips. It’s only 7.95 per month for global access on any smart phone. Just connect your phone via active sync and most likely you can share this connection with your laptop.
Anyone explain why Moscow has 10x as many Boingo connections as any other city?
ATT International - DataConnect Global Plan+ $139.99 per month
Take your laptop with you for all of your data needs when you’re traveling outside the U.S. This plan includes: 5 gigabytes (GB) of domestic U.S. usage with $.00048/KB overage.
The Att International Wireless Internet Plan leaves you untethered letting you access the internet anywhere you are, but runs extremely pricey. 5gbs goes quite fast. If you can afford it, go for it, but I’d recommend buying an extra wifi service as well to offset using up that 5 gb too fast.
The Future of International Wireless Internet Plans
In the future there will one day be a wireless internet plan that spans most of the globe, and is affordable. There are already plenty of hotspots available now. It is only a matter of time when we see internet plans on cellphones that cost as much locally as for international.

Getting your own so called office for blogging, is actually important as a blogging office seperates your work from the bedroom. Those who blog daily from their room, might notice that the always feel somehow connect to their blogging, from when they sleep to when they wakeup. This morning I even had a bad dream about my blogging sites crashing.
Seperate Blogging from the Bedroom
If you blog fulltime and in your bedroom, you might, like me find yourself having trouble sleeping. It’s almost like sleeping in your office. Whenever I’m lounging in my room, I often feel the need to blog and work since my workplace is in the same room.
The Dream Blogging Office?
The easiest way to reduce stress, and the feeling that you need to work, is to find a way to seperate your blogging from the bedroom and into a so called office. A blogging office could be your kitchen, living room, or an outside coffee shop. Often I’ll take my laptop and head over to the local Biggbys Coffee to blog (since blogging at home has enough distractions).
What About an Outside Office?
The fun part of blogging is that your office can be anywhere you want, from the living room, to that park outside. As long as you have an internet connection, the world is your office.

When I need more backlinks for my site, there are a number of ways to spread your links around and effectively earn a better pagerank. A few of the easiest ways we’ve found to get extra links for your website is to use social sites.
1) Hubpages.com - Get links back to your site by writing featured articles promoting your site. Make sure to write at least 200 words per link or they might mark your article as spam.
2) Google.com/Knol - I’ve written knol articles to my site. They are highly valued by Google, almost as much as wikipedia.
3) Wikipedia - This method is tricky and doesn’t always work, but often if you can get a link if you link back to your site as a source by writing a wikipedia article.
4) Commenting on Blogs - Find blogs on BustaBlog.com, Wordpress.com, etc., and include your link in the comment. Keep in mind that comments should make sense and be a decent comment on the actual article or most likely your comments will be marked as spam.
5) GoArticles.com - Simply write a goarticle, add your link, it’s that simple.
6) TradeLinks - Start trading links with other websites and build a seperate link directory on your site with people with whom you’ve traded links.
The advertisement we see for food are great looking, the perfect picture of food. Probably the one in a million Hamburger. How real is the advertisements we see and the adverts that entice us to eat food?
Models are photoshopped, burgers are displayed as absolute perfect, and vacation getaways are well also a dream. At the same time, we look at these adverts and wonder if we too can achieve this perfection, the one that’s been created for you, but doesn’t exist.
Compare the advertised burger vs the fake one… what happened? Doesn’t look so tasty does it? The problem is we keep the image of the left burger in our mind and forget how unbeautiful the actual thing is.
What happens when our wildlife becomes fake too? Do we need fake fish and cloned dogs?
