I got an email today notifying me that PayPerPost approved my account! I can now start making sponsored paid money. PayPerPost is another awesome way to make some good money using your blog and a great alternative to Google Adsense. The way it works is that sponsors will pay us bloggers if we talk and advertise their product or services.

How I got involved with PPP was simple. I was simply looking for a way to make money with my blog, you know.. a little money on the side. And I visited PPP and found that people were making thousands from just typing a blog post. It’s really that easy and anyone who owns a blog outside of MySpace or Blogger are basically eligible to do this.

What I plan to do with the extra cash? Well, I’m gonna first, pay for my hosting for my website. The extra money that comes out of it will go to investing in various web services to better my website and blogging experience, maybe get equipment for my soon to come podcast. So sign up for PayPerPost, it’s highly recommended by me!

PayPerPost is highly recommended for any blogger to make money, defiantly another service you should use if you are already using Google Adsense.

Blog advertising

Probably no one will read this because everyone is reading Engadget or something but I will post this anyway for those who frequent my blog. Rumors of Apple’s iTouch and the “Fatty” iPod Nano were true. They even reinvented the regular iPod and now calls it the iPod Classic. Three new designs for the iPod, the iTouch is exciting, Apple yet again continues to take the mp3 market by storm.

The “fatty” iPod mini was exactly what rumors predicted. Images were released last week on blog sites of the new iPod mini. Apple quickly took legal action to get them to take it down. That move by Apple directly confirmed that the ugly design was indeed the one that they manufactured. By the looks of that thing, it’s essentially a regular iPod that shrunk in height. In my opinion, it is pretty ugly, for those of you out there still looking for an iPod mini, buy yours today before they sell out. They are cheaper now and still better looking than the new.The iPod classic looks exactly the same as the 5th generation Apple iPod. One physical difference I noticed was that it has a bevel, unlike the 5th generation, the screen is now bulged up like the 4th generation. The music library interface has some improvements but no major change or new features were noted. Again, there is no real benefit in upgrading.

Now the iTouch is something to rave about! It features all the things on an iPhone without the phone. Yes, it does internet, yes it does YouTube and they do it at an affordable price of $299 for the 8GB model. Physically, it looks like an exact replica of the iPhone which is good. Something else that is new is that it has the ability to now wirelessly download music from iTunes, I think this feature will defiantly boost sales from the music store because it will be the only other way as of now to get music without a computer. I was really hoping that they allow it to share music like they have it with the Microsoft Zen and then have an option to also but it via iTunes if one likes. This product will sell because there are no contracts with AT&T involved or other fees.

I’m seriously considering getting one because it’s simply HOT! The only thing that is stopping me right now is that I just got a iPod about 2 months ago. I should have waited.

Never mind the “Rob K” part of the title, it’s an inside joke for a friend of mine!

Did you ever want to know your IP address but didn’t know how to get it? Well there are several ways. One with the ipconfig command if you’re on Windows or the arp command on Linux/Unix and two if you go to whatsmyip.org but there’s something way better for you guys out there! And for Rob.

There is MoanMyIP.com where a voice of a girl moans your IP address to you. Man, things you find on the internet these days… But I’d rather have a girl who’s about to have an orgasm scream out my IP address to me than to type having to type in a few commands to get it! Nothing beats this, not only does she read it out for you, but in a voice to die for.

DISCLAIMER: I’m not responsible if you get fired at your job for simply trying to look for your IP address. If you need to hear your IP at work, you can go to HearMyIP.com. It’s owned by the same people but HearMyIP allows you to hear it in a male robotic voice. It guarantees your job at the end of the day.

TIP: If you go and visit the site multiple times, she says some pretty unique things before she reads your IP address again. Check it out, go back a few times!

I haven’t checked my Google Adsense account in a while but more recently I’ve been re-introduced to SEO tricks and tactics so I checked it today. Whao! $100.38, It’s time for them to pay me! This amount was made in about 2 months time on just my blog domain. I’m looking into SEO (Search Engine Optimization) again to increase traffic and click through rates on my blog. I believe my blog has a lot more potential than it does currently and can make a lot more money. I’m just not doing a good job of placing the ads in the right locations.

There are plenty of people out there who blog for a living. I don’t happen to be one of them but it would be nice if I was. If you want to start a blog and learn how to make money, just leave me a comment and I’ll be glad to help you get started!

For those of you who hate Microsoft Windows, you’ll love what I found on Digg this afternoon. It’s this amazing wallpaper by lahandi from DeviantArt! Check it out!

Isn’t this the best linux wallpaper background ever? The bottom reads “In a world without walls and fences, We need no Windows and Gates”. Genius! Need I say more?

I personally think that Bill Gates is a great man and he has created something wonderful, after all it is a business for Microsoft. I don’t hate Microsoft or Gates, but this is a great wallpaper!
