I’m Alive

Anna — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:09:14 +0000

I wish I could post on this blog every day. I have no lack of lists of things I would like to post about, and I have none of that “difficulty coming up with ideas on what to write about” that some bloggers run into. I might have that problem with some other blogs, but not this one.

Have you ever wondered what to do when people use your RSS feed to scrape (automatically copy) your blog content directly onto their site? How do you ensure that they don’t rank higher in the search engines for that article than you do?

Have You Tried Chitika?

Anna — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 07:30:25 +0000

Chitika is a great way to add monetization to an existing blog, even if it is already monetized with another program. You can add Chitika ads to your site without worrying crowding too many adds around your content (keep reading to see why I say this).

These comments are obviously not made by real people visiting your blog, they are made by spam robots.

Anna — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 05:55:32 +0000
