			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have decided to finally try out and add the blog commenting system SezWho. It basically gives a rating to the comments people leave and allows you, the reader, to vote the comment&#8217;s relevance. It also adds a voting system to the posts as well. (Not sure if I&#8217;ll leave that operational for the network)</p>
<p>Using SezWho also gives you a profile. It shows who you have commented, the quality of your comments, and links to your blog. In a way, it&#8217;s a cool incentive to add for people to leave better comments. As of today, I received an email announcing the partnership of SezWho and Entrecard. As you know, I use Entrecard on a select few of our blogs. I will be expanding the use of it and adding SezWho to every blog. The partnership allows you to get credits for leaving comments now. Its something that I give high praise to. Before this partnership, Entrecard gave you traffic but it was a quick click through that didn&#8217;t really benefit the blog. I look forward to working with this system and to see the results of this new partnership.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to clarify something about a follow up <a href="http://www.theskillet.org/2008/06/27/bpd-borderline-personality-disorder/#comment-85">comment I received</a>. On my post regarding <a href="http://www.theskillet.org/2008/06/27/bpd-borderline-personality-disorder/#comments">borderline personality disorder</a>, I do not personally have this. I am in psychology and was writing ABOUT the issue. I received a comment of sympathy for my &#8220;condition&#8221;. I am just fine and have not been diagnosed with this disorder. In any case, I do want to thank my readers for the comments you send in. If you post them on this blog or any other blog in the <a href="http://www.sizzlingskillet.com">blog network</a>, I thank you. It&#8217;s almost like a pat on the back saying, &#8220;job well done&#8221;. So keep sending them in, entertain me or my other authors, and please please don&#8217;t assume I have the disorders I write about. <img src='http://www.theskillet.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is why you should get a <a href="http://www.urgentcashloan.com">cash advance</a> to pay those extra timely expenses instead of charging it to the credit card. Don&#8217;t use a credit card for anything if you are paying over 25% interest. That&#8217;s basically handing the bank your wallet. A <a href="http://www.urgentcashloan.com">payday loan</a> can easily cover your bills and expenses while you are in between paychecks. Don&#8217;t get caught in the credit card trap. How do cash advances work?</p>
<p>First of all, you have to be holding a current job and earning at least one thousand dollars each month. Secondly, you have to be a United States citizen and have a bank account. Thirdly, you have to be over 18 years old. Knowing that you meet these qualifications and are getting paid in a couple of weeks, <a href="http://www.urgentcashloan.com">payday loan</a> companies will give you the cash you need before your paycheck arrives. That&#8217;s a life saver sometimes when there is that odd bill to pay or an unexpected bill that arises. You pick the time and you make the call. You have complete control over when you are paid. It&#8217;s as simple as that.</p>
<p>These people will get your back when the time comes. Always remember to borrow responsibly and keep your borrowing at a minimum.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m reading up on BPD [Borderline Personality Disorder] and decided to share some of what I&#8217;m learning. First of all, BPD is not multiple personalities. With that said, it is quite serious though. Someone with BPD can easily be suicidal. They can attempt to kill themselves or just use a form of self destruction. [Cutting] Panic attacks can occur along with disorientation.</p>
<p>One of the huge symptoms is a dull emotional reaction to something emotionally exhilarating or depressing. For example, the loss of a family member. Someone with BPD would feel little to no emotion. A reason for this is the body&#8217;s self defense against bad emotions or memories. The person can disassociate themselves from an emotion and worse yet use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splitting_(psychology)#Splitting_as_a_defense_mechanism">splitting</a> as a defense mechanism. Splitting is usually done when the CNS is not fully developed yet. When splitting occurs at an older age it is a major problem. The person with BPD uses splitting and sees the world as black and white. Good or evil. Love and worship you one day, then hate you the next day if you do not live up to the high standards they set for you.</p>
<p>So far I&#8217;m still discovering and learning about new symptoms and causes. Women tend to have this disorder more than men. In most cases, a traumatic event happened in the past like sexual abuse or just abuse. It doesn&#8217;t happen in all cases, but most people with BPD will have a history as such.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Until recently I would say I was relatively clueless about <strong>search engine optimization</strong>. I still don&#8217;t know it all and am in no way claiming to. These are just some of the steps I have taken to increase my SEO&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Format your posts</strong><br />
Format your posts to include the title and date. This will help search engines to be able to find your posts easier and more in tune to what your post is about. You can do this by [Wordpress only] selecting settings in your admin panel and then selecting permalinks. Choose the day and name option. [Picture Below]</p>
<p><img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r306/marlowjust/ll.jpg" alt="" width="461" height="257" /></p>
<p><strong>Install Google Sitemap</strong></p>
<p>Install Google Sitemap plugin for Wordpress. It will automatically ping or let Google, Ask, Yahoo, and MSN know that you have updated your blog. <a href="http://www.arnebrachhold.de/redir/sitemap-home/">Here&#8217;s the one I used.</a></p>
<p><strong>Use tags</strong><br />
Use tags and or Technorati tags. You can display the tags below each post by inserting this code in your page.                <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r306/marlowjust/tt.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="30" /></p>
<p>There are a few Technorati tag plugins out there. <a href="http://www.neato.co.nz/ultimate-tag-warrior/">Here is one that I know of.</a> I haven&#8217;t personally used it on any of the SizzlingSkillet sites, but it looks promising. <a href="http://www.broobles.com/scripts/simpletags/">One more.</a> Again, <a href="http://www.wordpress.org">Worpress</a> only.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a newbie to PayPerPost. I just joined last week and already find their system fascinating. If you don&#8217;t know who they are, let me explain. PayPerPost is a sponsored or paid posting site. Advertisers pay for you to write about them. Sounds cool huh? You income potential is unlimited as long as you follow their guidelines, have traffic, and don&#8217;t &#8220;over clutter&#8221; your blog(s) with ads.</p>
<p>I first heard about PayPerPost from another blogger. He wrote an article about making money with sponsored posts and I found it interesting. So I decided to check them out and sure enough, they are great!</p>
<p>I run a blog network called SizzlingSkillet. I wanted to implement some ads in with the normal posts to my network. Its a great way to gain extra revenue to invest back into my business. I eventually want to make enough money from each blog to support full time writers. That&#8217;s exactly what I will do with my PayPerPost income.</p>
<p>Sponsored<a href="http://www.payperpost.com"> blog reviews</a> makes earning some extra income from your own blog easier. Its a way to improve your website from extra money and make new advertising relationships in the process. PayPerPost makes all of this possible and more. I named this entry <strong>PayPerPost love</strong> for a reason: I wanted to spread the love of what they offer so more people can get back some of what they have put into their blogs.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all, let me tell you this. Making any money by blogging is tough and by far does not happen overnight. It can take up to five month for longer of <strong>hard</strong> work. That means frequent posts, interesting posts, useful posts, and un-spammy posts. Meet those criteria mixed with a good site and you are ready to begin.</p>
<p><strong>Audience</strong></p>
<p>Making money on any website is more than just good content. You have to have decent web or social networking skills. For example, someone who has the best content in the world will go no where without an audience. Your audience is key to the basics of monetizing your blog. <strong>So in a nutshell, audience and good content go hand in hand.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ad Networks</strong></p>
<p>Its now time to discuss some techniques to monetize your blog. We&#8217;ll start with Ad Networks.</p>
<p>Google Adsense <script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-7859964598106182";
/* Text link, created 6/18/08 */
google_ad_slot = "4976716667";
google_ad_output = "textlink";
google_ad_format = "ref_text";
google_cpa_choice = ""; // on file
//-->
</script><br />

<a href="https://adcenter.microsoft.com/">Microsoft Ad Center</a> -Coming Soon</p>
<p>The granddaddy is of course Adsense. I have used Adsense and AdBright, but prefer Adsense. I had trouble with AdBright&#8217;s code that soon turned me off to them. Adsense will send you a check or direct deposit for every $100 you make. I&#8217;m currently at $70. Almost there for my next check. All of these are relatively easy to install on your blog. It just takes some copying and pasting to the proper location you want your ad to appear. (Assuming you have created an account with them). For every click you receive, you get paid anywhere from .5 cents to .35 cents. (Give or take) Better than nothing thought, right? If you have high traffic, this will better serve you.</p>
<p><strong>Pay Per Post</strong></p>
<p>A somewhat more fullfilling way (time wise) to make money is Pay Per Post. This method is more of the sponsored review type. Advertisers give you a product to write about, a few links, and a couple bucks to go along with it. Don&#8217;t over crowd your blog with these though. Below are some programs that will help connect you with advertisers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogsvertise.com/?rid=b9435 ">Blogsvertise</a><br />
<a href="http://www.sponsoredreviews.com/?aid=28234">Sponsored Reviews</a><br />
<!-- Begin clixGalore Code--><br />
<A href="http://www.clixGalore.com/PSale.aspx?BID=64032&#038;AfID=172826&#038;AdID=7787&#038;LP=www.smorty.com" OnMouseOver="javascript:window.status='';return true;">Smorty</A><br />
<!-- End clixGalore Code--></p>
<p>These sponsored posts will get you anywhere between $4 to $100 depending on your blog&#8217;s traffic. Depending on how much space you want to take up for advertisers, this is a good options for blogs with lower traffic. It won&#8217;t make you a ton, but it will net you some.</p>
<p>In the next part of &#8220;Making money blogging 2&#8243;, I will go over text link ads, video ads, and going out on your own to sell direct ads.
