Blog Law : Copyrights , Privacy , Fine Print

Legal issues such as: copyrights, advertiser agreements with affiliates or ad sense, and your privacy are things bloggers should not overlook. 10 Essential Legal Points for Bloggers by the author of DailyBlogTips is a good blog post to read and keep your blog legal and safe. In todays world sneezing in the wrong direction could bring a lawsuit. I am going to change a few things on my blog after reading this post and just wanted to share it with my readers. I am very law conscious, but the internet world and staying legal in it is a whole new ball game to me and many others I assume. Read the fine print on everything because it will come back to haunt you sooner then later if you don't.

Tink dog, my Golden Retriver

This is off topic, but I am taking a short brake from trying new ways to make money, so I decided I would post some pictures of my Golden Retriever, Tink. She is about 1 year and 5 months old.

eBay: Another way to Make Money Online

eBay is another way to make money online, and I have been using it for a few years now. Making money with eBay can be easy if you have a lot of the same product to sell. I use eBay more for buying things then selling, but I do sell a few things every few months. I usually wait until I have a bunch of things to sell and do it all at once that way I don't have to be tied down to answering questions and checking eBay all the time. I have a few items listed on eBay now if you would like to check them out they are listed on my about me page here.

Listing completely different things can be time consuming when you first start out. You have to research the best price to start your auction, what category to list it in, and upload pictures. It is not worth it to sell items less then ten dollars unless you are selling many of the same item; at least that has been my experience. If you sell something for $15, by the time eBay fees and paypal fees are subtracted from your total profit you have spent 10-15 minutes of your time for $2 or $3. I have sold a lot of electronics and car parts on eBay and made decent money, but I don't have a constant supply of those things. If you have any questions about eBay or want help on how to start your own auction I will be glad to help or point you in the right direction. I am going to list a few blogs with good information on eBay below:

Domain Parking with Sedo

I have had domains parked with sedo for about two weeks and I can already tell you for certain I am making more money with sedo then godaddy. Even if godaddy parking was free it still looks like sedo parked domains perform better so far. The same five domains that were parked with godaddy listed in my last parking post have made $6.11 in the about two weeks. Over two and a half months they only made about $15 dollars at godaddy.

The one thing I have noticed with sedo that may be a problem is that tillmanbeach.com has made over $5.00 of that total. I have updated my keywords on the other domains to see if they will get higher earnings per click. It may turn out that it is better to park different domains with different serivices, which is something I have thought about until now. I am going to research which keywords will bring me the highest clicks a little more enlight of this situation.

The appearance of sedo's parked pages is better compared to previous parking services I have used. In conclusion so far I like sedo better then godaddy cash parking, but it is still not making enough money to make dealing with it worth my time. I am going to stick with it and see if it improves in the near future. Thanks for reading and I hope some of the information you find here is useful to you.

How Google Detects AdSense Invalid Clicks

Still thinking to cheat AdSense? Stop that. It will never bring you anywhere. You might pull it off with smaller ads network, but definitely not with Google. Here are some detection methods they might use. At the very least, they have the resources to do so.

IP Address
If the AdSense click is originated from the same IP Address as the one used for accessing your AdSense account, your account is flagged.

Cookies
Most home users do not use static IP Address for Internet connection. In most cases just disconnect and reconnect will give you a new IP Address. But don’t forget, Google has set cookies on your computer.

Other Google Services
Thinking that you are safe just because you do not access your AdSense account?..........

WebSite Tech Product Catalog

I have a online store which, I have mentioned in past posts, called WebSite Tech at blakesdomain.com. There are a lot of other stores that are similar to mine, but I don't think there are a lot with the same prices. I am offering the lowest prices possible given my buy rate. If you find that one of my products is over priced or cheaper somewhere else please bring it to my attention and I will see if I can beat it or make-up for the price difference in another way!

I will add anyone who makes a purchase at my online store between now and June 1, 2008 to my discount seller list for the remainder of the year. I do not make any commission from domain sales for those on my discount seller list, but it is my way of saying thanks for giving us a try. I am also going to write a review in the future about Website Tech and how it has worked in terms of a way to make money online. I have added links to products we offer below if you would like to take a look. Thanks.
