Very timely newsletter from Jobstreet! I was so busy searching for Singapore-based jobs when I received an email from them. It warns all jobseekers about job scams online. Here's an excerpt of the email:

We've noticed an increase in the amount of job scams recently. Scammers are pretending to be reputable Multinational Corporations, including Oil and Gas companies, and sending jobseekers an email confirming how they have been accepted for an interview overseas.

This would of course cost money to the jobseeker (air tickets, lodging, food etc.) but the letter states that the company is willing to ‘sponsor’ 100% of the jobseekers’ expenses. The catch? Jobseekers will have to pay a ‘refundable’ deposit of USD$100 upwards. Needless to say once that fee has been paid, the victim realizes that no flights or lodgings have been reserved and that the interview offer is false.

Sample of fishy letters from scammers can be found on the Jobstreet forum.

Thanks Ken and to Adgitize Team for responding promptly to my email!

I just visited my daily report and noticed that I did not receive credits for March 5's blog post though I actually posted a blog entry at Eldraliz: From Good to Great.

I appreciate their effort and good customer service.

Hi Liezl,

It looks like our feed readers visited your site after the points were calculated. Our feed readers will go out to all the Adgitize sites multiple times a day. As you can imagine they can't visit everyone's blog at the same time. Anyway, we have captured your article points and all is good.

I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Sincerely,

Ken Brown

It's supposed to be $37.70 but I was charged $2 for the withdrawal since I haven't reach the minimum payout of $50 yet. It's been a year and I not getting much blog posting opportunities so I decided to encash it even if there's a $2 penalty.

Finally, dailylovedose.com is with GoDaddy. It used to be registered with 1and1.com but I decided to consolidate my domains in just one registrar. I I transfer it to GoDaddy, I also renewed the said domain.

Thanks to Active Search Results, I was updated with the most recent Google Page Rank update. This blog remains PR4 and I'm happy about it. I'd rather see it like this than see it's PR drop. What makes me happier is that fact that most of my other blog's PR just increased. Make More Money Online has higher Page Rank now.

While most of my blogs are PR2, Pinkville and SWORD are both PR3 now. The rest of my blogs are either PR0 or NA. They are not older than 3 months anyway. Long way to go...

Now, how can your blog achieve higher page rank?
1. Link Building
2. Search Engine Optimization
3. Quality Content

They are just few interrelated concepts that you might encounter on your journey to higher PR. Sometimes, it's a mystery. You just buy a domain, setup the site, post few entries, wait for PR update and voila - instant PR!


But PR is not everything... Don't feel bad if your PR just dropped to zero or NA, it's not the end of blogging. There are still many ways to make money online. And your readers and visitors can inspire you more to produce quality content!

Keep writing!

And you'll definitely make more money online!

Even if I was not able to renew my ads during the holidays and been inactive Adgitizing and posting in the forum, I was able to reach the minimum payout for December.

Got another payment from Review Stream! All of my positive experiences are posted here and I have restated them on my Make More Money Online blog together with a bunch of online money-making tips and tricks!

Due to time constraints, I was not able to update most of my blogs including this one. In fact, I forgot to post some of the funny yet disappointing happenings in my life...

For one, I did not spend my Christmas with my family. There has been a sudden change with my schedule without prior notice. Fine. They always have the final word so that's it.

Next, I forgot my ATM card PIN. I was supposed to withdraw my bonus that day and transfer it to my BPI account before the bank closes only to end up resetting my password after several withdrawal attempts. There you go - PIN RETRY LIMIT reached!

Just in time, I was able to request for PIN reset and withdraw over the counter before the bank closed. Whew! What a day! I thought the long queue won't just end and I have to spend my Christmas away from my family and without money!

Anyway, it's already 2011 and I really enjoyed my long weekend at Batangas. New Year vacation, I must say.

Happy New Year everyone! So sorry for the late greetings...

More earnings and blessings for this year!

Heya BHO lovers and fellow bloggers! If you're wondering what keeps me busy and you're looking for blog updates, head to Fortunate Liz and be amazed with the cool contest prizes at stake!


I was not able to update BHO daily because I am busy with work, both online and offline. Also, the holiday season makes me busier. Talk about shopping and partying!

Lately, I'm getting many writing opportunities from them but I only select which one I'll accomplish. Some advertisers require too many keywords and links. Take note, not just a single link but multiple links pointing to different sites. If only the price is right, it would be easier to complete these writing assignments. But what I love about Blogsvertise is that it respects my decision if I prefer not to take the task.

So for December, here is what I've earned. $10 was sent to me yesterday and then I received another payment today.

Payment is sent a month after completing the tasks so it means that it covers my November writing assignments.

It seems that all seats for CitisecOnline Stock Market seminar are all filled up for December so you might want to know this alternative - Colayco Foundation for Education seminars.
