Here is just the latest reason why I prefer Wordpress. I have two blogs that have not been possible to migrate to Wordpress. Today I tried to write a new post and this is the response I got when I clicked the bookmark link.

I would be very upset if my search for help with Atlantic City hair loss treatment delivered the same results. Hair loss is a sensitive subject and its sufferers will be easily put off in case of any queries like that.
I was recently looking for a plugin that would show Adsense ads in Wordpress blog posts, I wanted something that would enable me to stop the Adsense ads showing on a post if necessary. The reason for this is that if the post is sponsored by an advertiser they do not want to see ads from another network in their paid blog post. I am now using an excellent free plugin called Adsense injection. This plugin places the Adsense ad units seamlessly in the middle of the blog post or page, and it displays them differently every time the page is reloaded. You can also use this plugin with Yahoo Publisher Network.
There are plenty plugins that claim to make your Adsense ad units display better, and even increase the clickthrough rate. Some of them actually breach Google’s terms of service and that is not a good idea. Some of the ‘Adsense Plugins’ and Widgets simply failed to work when I uploaded them to my blogs. Eventually I found a very simple and effective plugin that will display AdSense Ads on a Wordpress Blog, the download instructions are simple and you can soon get ads in your Wordpress blog posts using this plugin.
There are many websites that link to animal grooming services, as I have discovered since becoming a dog owner. Make sure the company that you use are sensitive to each pet’s varied needs and temperament.
I signed up one of my blogs at the new site, blogpayz.com just over two weeks ago. The site owners have been very active in leaving comments at other people’s blogs so I decided to see how well it would perform for me. Following recent goings on with Google’s vendetta against other blog advertising sites I wonder what the future holds for this sector. Just after I joined the company announced that multiple blogs can now be added to one account, this is an important time saver for busy bloggers. Initial tasks are paying small sums, but I am sure as more clients sign up for Internet Advertising this situation should improve in a short while. Watch this space.
Today I have to look for an Atlanta cosmetic dentist as my wonderful partner has offered to help me get my grey filled teeth cleaned up and whitened before our wedding. Happy day - goodbye to the amalgam, hello to a happy smile. There is no point in going through life with disfigured teeth when they can be fixed easily.
This article is not intended to give you the newbies course about hosting, installing a blog on your domain and etc. It will give you some serious advice on your blog business. Bad blogging habits are easy to get into, and one of the worst is to leave your ‘About’ page unchanged. You know the page: it is provided by Wordpress as standard and a whole host of bloggers leave it unchanged. Why they do this is known only to them, because this is the first page that a large number of first-time visitors to a blog check out, and the reason why many of them leave without looking further.

I am a little late in posting this report, I am afraid. However the figures are still of interest as November was the first full month when the effects of Google’s penalties for paid links in blog posts really took effect. More than half the blogs where I have been writing sponsored posts have seen their page ranks fall to 0. Initially the October Page Rank update (using the Google algorithm) took them all to Page Rank 3 or 4, but within 48 hours those Page Ranks had fallen back after a manual trawl through any site linked with the ubiquitous PayPerPost. Their required Javascript code and required disclosure statement are easily targeted by anyone wanting to pick out sites that have been paid to blog by Payperpost. And once my Page Ranks fell the opportunities from PayperPost dried up as well.
My paid blog earnings for October were already reduced as the new Page Rank affected earnings for the last six days of the month. November earnings overall were down by 35 per cent against the figures for September. The sums for Payperpost were only 30 per cent of the amount I earned form that site in September. Fortunately some sites continue to offer paid blogging opportunities in spite of the page rank changes and I have listed the top paying sites here.
If you want to find out more information about the way that paid to blog sites work in general, you can read my review of how to start getting Paid to Blog here.
1 PayU2Blog
In November this was far and away the highest paying paid to post site, generating more than double the amount that any of the other companies paid for blog posts. The opportunities at PayU2Blog offer $5 mostly, for a short blog post of just sixty words. The posts are approved automatically, and around ten per cent of the opps are for longer posts, paying up to $15. The good thing at this site is that they pay out twice a month - often earlier than advertised. As I have mentioned before, the opportunities are loaded into your control panel showing the dates when they are due. This means bloggers can plan their workload accordingly.
2. Smorty
Smorty was the next best highest paying site in November. They send email alerts when a new paying blog campaign is available and these pay various sums from $6 to $22 per post. Approval takes a few days and you can only accept one opportunity at a time so if there are more paid opps available you need to write the first one up speedily in order to accept another.
3. Blogitive
Blogitive came good again in November after a couple of quiet months. To get paid posting assignments you need to log in to your control panel and available opportunities will be shown. Once you accept them the time limit is 48 hours, and each post of 100 words pays $5. As long as the link is included there is usually no problem with approval and payment is made monthly.
4. Blogsvertise
Earnings at Blogsvertise were a little lower for me this month, but the individual opportunities are paying slightly higher amounts.
5. Izea
I think I have said it all in the introduction. The available paid opps for my sites with Page Rank 0 never pay more than $5. The admin require a non sponsored post before and after their opportunity, so in fact the blogger needs to write three blog posts to earn $5. I am also concerned about being linked with the site on my higher ranked sites as I do not want their page rank to be damaged. So I am choosing very few opps from Izea now.
