About Backlinks and its usefulness

I have just came across an entry in mylot that discusses about banklinks.

It was a topic started by jp1990 and he generously shared things he knows about backlinks. But what is a backlink? Do we really need to do this to generate traffic for our blogsite? Backlink is said to be links coming from other websites to your own websites. If we are able to maximize this strategy, we will also be able to maximize earning potential of our blogs.

This site will inform us everything about backlinking or building links and the legitimate way to backlink. It even discusses the different types of backlinks which you can use for your sites that suits your style. Click on the link below to read more about backlinks:

Honestly, I have no idea what backlinks are. I have been hearing about it in other forums but have no idea how to go about it. After reading posts from the above blog, I've all of sudden see some clarity in link building.

Clickbank.

Pixprofit.com

These are the primary online activities I am concentrating on to try the potential earnings in the net. I am so encouraged to try these online paying sites that I even started to try blogging when I am not even a writer. I hated writing as a student. It seems that one hour is not enough to finish one sensible write-up about a certain theme.

But here I am, blogging, as if I am experienced at this. I want to try if blogging could earn me a passive income in the internet. But of course, blogging is all pure work and effort. I promised myself to blog everyday about anything under the sun, but I don't have the discipline yet to do so.

Oh give me a break, I am currently employed and most of my weekdays are spent in an office doing numbers for my employer.

With the increasing costs of living, having a two-year old son, my salary and my husband's salary combined, is not enough to give us a comfortable life. We can make both ends meet, but hey, who wants only that?

Of course we want to have our own house and lot, cars and a little business on the side. After searching on the net, reading forums and joining money making online programs, I have just confused myself even more if there is really a site which will make me earn 45K monthly as what other money-making online sites claim.

So far, after being active again in Mylot I have earned and received payment through paypal amounting to $29.00 mostly doing writing tasks that pay $4.00 each approved article. With pixprofit, I have already earned $6.00 typing captcha words. I have cashed $3.00 along with the $29 already through paypal and left the other $3.00 in paypal.

I don't understand how I can earn much with Trekpay since I am only earning like .18C per week. I have calculated, that by the time I earn the minimum payout of $5.50, it will already be December when in fact I started February this year.

I have given myself like three months to self-study online money making opportunities. Actually only with clickbank and blogging. If after three months, I still have zero earnings, I guess I will have to look for a mentor even if I have to pay much, just to learn the ins and outs of online money making.

Philippine's first automated election---I'm proud to be COUNTED!

Oh yes! I am proud to be counted! I am now one of the filipino voters to have experienced the first ever automated national and local election and I am now part of the Philippine history.

I woke up at 6:30 am hoping we could be one of the first people inside the precint to witness the opening of the ballots and pcos machine. Unfortunately, still had to do household chores and tend to my toddler's needs for my nanny took the day off to vote.

We arrived at the school 8:00 am. Outside the school, a tarpaulin where your precint number and its assigned cluster is printed is posted on the wall near the gate. I got my cluster number but upon checking on the master list of that cluster number, our names are not to be found. I thought voting is just going to be breeze. Oh well!

I was advised to go to the comelec volunteers and ask them to look on the computer to what cluster my precint was assigned. In short, clustering the precints seemed to be unorganized for that matter. On the positive note, our names were found (which I thought in the first place, wouldn't be found)and off we went to the cluster/classroom. Take note that in one cluster/classroom, about 5 to 8 precints were assigned there, so imagine the bulk of voters falling in line in one particular cluster.

After about 1 1/2 hours of falling in line (which was kinda unsystematic at first but eventually they got the groove), it was now our turn. Now how was it?

1. The BEI (Board of Election Insptector) asked for my precint number.

2.After telling him my precint no. she got a list of names under that precint and asked for my name.

3. After seeing my name on the list, she asked me to sign beside my name and put my right thumb mark.

4. After the thumb mark, she asked her assistant to look among the comelec registrations filed in a folder if I am registered. (Now here, i don't see any logic of looking among the file of regisrations if she already saw my name on the master list and I have already placed my signature and thumb mark on it. Wouldn't it be more logical if the assistant looked first among the regisration papers before I am being asked to place my signature and thumb mark? What if my regisration paper is nowhere to be found and I have already placed my thumb mark and my signature beside my name? Whatever!)

5. The BEI now verifies her assistant if my registration paper is there and then gave me my ballot. My FIRST BALLOT ever since I turned 18.

6. And so off I went to my desk to cast my first votes ever. Of course with a little mischief from my two-year old son,( I had to bring him because no one's going to look over him)I carefully shaded the oval thing, while my son was singing "may bilog, may bilog". I was really extra careful and had to stop every now and then because my son was eyeing my ballot and my pen while singing that "song".

7. After shading, I proceeded to the pcos machine and feed my ballot. Ooops! It didn't feed. It says " the machine does not take multiple sheets" something to that effect. Well I guess I fed my ballot on the wrong side of the sheet, because the volunteer turned it over and Presto! it fed.

8. The small screen said "ballot scanned" then "verifying ballot"... and I was praying that it will not be an invalid ballot. And then it says..."congratulations you're vote is already counted". Yipee! And now I can say I am a true-blue Filipino exercising my privilege.

I am so happy to have experienced my first election ever and it was an automated one. I am proud even more because I voted and knew that my one vote means my voice, even if it just a tiny voice, was heard and would make a difference in our history.

Let us just pray that after the voting, counting the votes will more peaceful and violence-free.

Next fight...Mayweather vs. Pacquiao

Well, well, well. So it seems now that Manny Pacquiao's next fight will be with Mayweather. While Manny was busy campaigning yesterday, Mayweather was all out in conquering victory against Mosley.

If Philippine's national election would turn sweet for Pacquiao, would he have time to prepare for this big fight? Mayweather seemed to be serious in facing Pacquiao, if and only if, Pacquiao will agree to undergo a "blood-blah-blah testing."

For boxing fans, this will be the most-anticipated fight, if ever Pacquiao will agree. Imagine, legend vs. legend. Both of them are multi-title holder. Whew!

I myself is boxing fan. If that day comes I will not hesitate to buy tickets just to watch it live from a resto bar.

CHESS FOR BEGINNERS

When I see a chessboard I always remember my Dad. He was a big fan of chess. He used to join competitions when he was young and eventually hosts competitions in the school where he taught. He even bought a computerized chessboard just so he could challenge himself more. I was never really fond of chess. Though, he taught me the moves of the chess pieces,it never really registered in my system.

But one boring day, I thought I could use a little brain exercise, I asked my husband to play chess with me. Alas, as it was already my turn, I can't remember a single move which my Dad taught me. As expected of course, I lost the game to my husband.

So for the benefit of myself and those who do not know anything about chess but want to learn and play the game and feel intellectual as well, here are some tips and info on how to start and play chess.

1. It is played on a chessboard with 64 squares and alternate colors of black and white. Each player has 16 chess pieces as follows: 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Bishops, 2 Knights, 2 Rooks and 8 pawns.

2. All pieces except the pawns, are placed in their own order on the first row of the board nearest the player. All pawns are placed on the next row.

3. The Moves: King moves in any direction one square at a time. Queen moves in any direction too, only, without limits on the number of squares. The Rook can move either horizontally or vertically only, without limits on the number of the squares as well. Bishop moves only in diagonal direction and the Knight moves in an L shape direction, 1 square up or down, then 2 squares left or right or 2 squares up or down then 1 square left or right. The pawns can only move forward one square at a time but its initial move may be up to two squares.

4. Capturing other pieces. The King can capture enemy pieces which are on the adjoining square, Queen, Rook, Bishop and Knight captures enemy pieces the way they move along the chessboard. Pawn only catches enemy pieces diagonally which are on the adjoining square. The pawn's role becomes important once it reaches the last row for it becomes another Queen acquiring all the features of the original Queen.

5. In order to win the game, one must attack the enemy's King. When he is attacked, he is in check, if the King goes out of the check, the game is still alive. Once the King is not able to get out of the check anymore, the King is checkmated and the game is now over.

These are just some of the basic tips and info about playing chess. If you want to become an expert on this, take some time to practice the game and develop your analytical skill.

PAYING OFF CREDIT CARDS AND BECOME DEBT-FREE

It has been an issue lately in our office about credit card companies calling our people and harassing them on paying their dues. One company even had to scare our employee into suing him if he does not pay even just the minimum payment.

Well that employee is not alone. Hundreds of people undergo the same situation with credit card companies everyday. Probably because of the recent downfall in the global economy that people's finances are greatly affected and had to put aside paying their cards first and prioritizing expenses for basic needs.

What are the best ways to deal with this. Getting a loan to pay for all the cards may help, but let us put that at the end of our list.

One, review your monthly budget and learn to prioritize. Decide which expenses are important and which ones can be eliminated for the meantime. Having a tall frappe at Starbucks everyday may have to be set aside first.

Two, though we are tempted to pay just the minimum payment for our cards, it really does not help at all. A large part of it goes to the interest, barely goes to the principal. So if we can pay more than the minimal payment, let us do so. But if you have multiple credit cards, let's say three cards, pay one card more that it's minimum payments, the other two cards had to be settled with minimum payments for the meantime.

Three, some companies are generous enough with bonuses. Some give out quarterly or mid-year bonus. Use this to fully pay your cards. If it is enough to pay for all, divide it into half. Use the first half to pay just one card just to make the principal smaller and the other half is to be allocated to other credit cards according to its minimum payments.

Four, if your salaries and bonus are not enough, try borrowing from your relatives. Their interests will not be as high as the bank. If you are lucky, they may not even ask interests from you.

Fifth, ask your credit card company. There are some banks which are considerate enough to refinance your credit and turn it a regular loan, payable in so-so months, lesser interest rate and fixed monthly amortization. Try negotiating with your bank. Who knows what promo they are currently offering to delayed or delinquent debtors.

Last and the least advisable way, compute all your credit cards' outstanding balances. For example, your total payable amounted to seventy thousand, try applying for a loan amounting to seventy thousand. Pay off all your cards. Your regular loan will incur much lesser interest than the credit cards which is at 3.5%. At least all your cards have been fully paid and your only loan is to just one bank, with lower interest, lower monthly amortization and easier to monitor.

The key to having a debt-free life is discipline. In our changing and unstable economy, it helps if we could be frugal for awhile. Stay away from sale which will just tempt us to swipe our cards and forget again that we are trying to pay-off our debt.
