Is TLA Dead?

December 2nd, 2007 by Sharmaji

For quiet a few weeks there has been a great dismay and uproar over Google’s policy of giving lower Page Rank (PR) to sites that sell links off their site. So is TLA dead?

Not so soon baby! TLA is dead for only those who trust that Google will never be able to set it’s search algorithm and ways to filter its links database right. For some reason Google has choosen to punish publishers rather than check its own system of PR and rectify it. It has done something that completely opposite to what it has always stood for - “Do no evil”. But I am a hardcore Google fan and believe that soon it will realize its mistake and set things right. Publishers will have freedom to ethically sell links to others and enjoy freedom which is their right.

Cheers to Google! Long live TLA!

Why should you have your own blog site?

July 28th, 2007 by Sharmaji

Being in the web hosting & domain name registration industry, I have been asked this many times over by people from various backgrounds - novice bloggers to seasoned experts. Not because its my business, but due to many good reasons I recommend it. The most prominent advantage & reasons being the following which I will elaborate upon in my later posts:

  • It gives you your own identity.
  • You are not on the mercy of the blogs provider and fear of getting your blog deleted or suspended because of something you did or didn’t do!
  • Having your own independent blog site gives you more options to make money and earn online.
  • The best blog software packages are open source and hence free and totally customizable! Your cost towards the same is next to zero.
  • The cost involved towards domain name registration and web space is very less, that too can be recovered within a month or two by a basic blogger! (PS: Ask me for all such requirement you have!)
  • You have the freedom to add a forum, shopping cart, create a community or do nearly just about anything you can think up from your own domain or blog!
  • You can customize just about anything on your blog, the look, feel etc by themes & plugins, which are available free and again open source for you to modify.
  • And finally as Mike put in “if you are actively working to get back links (and you should be) you will want those to go to a domain that you control. If you create a high PR site you have an asset you can sell.”
  • A few more advantages, I cant think of now as I have started sneezing due to dust allergy!

Well, anyways if you get more advantages on having your own blog to add please feel free to put it in the comments for the community. Questions and controversies are welcome too!

First Earnings Report!

July 22nd, 2007 by Sharmaji

Hi all,

This one is interesting! I had though, it would take a while to make some money out of my blog, but as luck would have it; here is my first earning report… exactly 10 days after my site was launched! I am writing this to show that serious work does pay - sooner or later.

Money earned online since 10 days of launch: USD 10.14
Cumulative amount earned by sharmasblog.com : USD 10.14

I have not yet optimized my site for ads! Will do it soon. My best advice at this time to anyone is to keep the focus on good original content. I will try to update more about my blog’s earnings every month. Any suggestions?

You Deserve A Piece of the Action
AGLOCO gets paid by companies to reach their Members through a Viewbar™ software.

AGLOCO Members make money in four ways.

* Members earn a monthly share of the AGLOCO revenue based on the use of the AGLOCO Viewbar™ that month.
* Members earn part of the company based on the use of the AGLOCO Viewbar™ that month (currently a maximum of five hours are rewarded).

* Members who use our referral system to help build the AGLOCO network will earn more. ( AGLOCO only has significant value as a large network and people who help build it should be rewarded. – We also feel that the early users who told friends about YouTube or MySpace or even Google probably deserved something too, but no referral system was available to record their work).
* Members will also get a share of any commissions AGLOCO gets when a Member purchases a product or service from an AGLOCO Sponsor company.

Why should I join now?
