Is AWSurveys a Scam?

The answer? No it's not a scam as I got paid!

This is the only survey site wherein I really got paid a good sum of money. As a Filipino it's hard to join survey sites that accept international members. If accepted it also gets harder to reach the payout.

AWSurvey is the only survey program that has indeed paid me well. Others say it's a crap scam site. They were not paid or their accounts were banned or that they just can't log in. To tell you I've read more about AWSurvey as a scam site than it as a legit paying program. But I feel obligated to step out and tell everyone that in contrast to all these accusations, one Filipina blogger has been paid and that's me! AWSurvey is not a scam in my experience. I participated in the surveys, they paid me and that's all that matters.

If AWSurveys then bans my account or lets just say disable my access to my account groundless, then perhaps I should side to the fact that AWSurveys chooses the members that it pays. But with the nice things happening in my AWSURVEY account it's not right to talk of this program as a scam!

Make Money With Dneero

Dneero is my latest venture. It's a survey site where you participate in surveys or conversations as properly used in Dneero. Surveys take about a minute or two to complete. After that you have the option to get paid or give away your earnings to certain charities. You will then place the survey to your blog. You will be provided with a code for that. You can also put the survey in your friendster account. The survey must stay in your blog/friendster for at least 5 days to generate impressions. You will be paid for taking the survey and for the impressions that it generates.

This is an example of a dNeero Conversation or Survey.
This is an example of the dNeero Survey that I placed in my blog.

To get paid one must reach $20. Payment is via Paypal. Once you reach the payout, you can request for payment immediately. As of the moment I already have $9.75 in my account with $.45 pending.

Making money with dNeero is not fast. But it's a legitimate site that you can truly trust. My prediction is that I need 10 more days to reach the payout. When I get paid,as usual I'll provide the proof.

My tip: Place the survey in your blog/s with lots of traffic. Or tell your friendster friends to check your friendster profile everyday so that you get lots of impressions. More impressions means more earnings.

How To Wrap Adsense or Chitika Around Post

I know many of you do not know how to place your google ads or chitika ads around your post. The click through rate is really high if you place the ads inside your posts. Why? It's because that's where people's eyes are at most of the time as they read your articles.

So here is the code for placing adsense or chitika or any product around your post:

<div style=”display:block;float:right;margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;”>

all the google adsense code (or chitika)

</div>

Replace the phrase in red font with your code.

Also if you get the message that it cannot be parsed, just use html parser. You can use one for free at blogcrowds dot com. Just copy the whole code and paste it in the html parser. Then copy the parsed code in your blog's template.

Free Blogger Templates

It's a must that every blog must have a good template. Your blog's template must cater to both your users and the search engines. It means you must have a good looking blog that is user friendly, easy to navigate and at the same time is search engine friendly. It's easy to find out if a blogger template is user friendly or not. You'll find that in the colors, in the navigation buttons and in the overall layout of the blog. But when it comes to how search engine friendly the template is, well, that's a hard one. But nonetheless a template that's user friendly is likely to be search engine friendly as well. To be safe read carefully the description of the template and test it first. This is where a trial blog comes into play. You test the template first before you decide to officially use it in your blog. You woundn't want to have a totally messed up blog at the end, only because you failed to notice how ugly the template is when all the posts and the sidebar items are added.


The templates provided by Blogger to be honest is really not that good looking. I say they are boring and perhaps a lot of you would agree with me. Thanks to a lot of innovative and skillful individuals who have made elegant, professional and personalized blogger templates available for free to anyone.

Make Steady Monthly Money From Linkworth

click to enlarge

Linkworth has constantly given me a few thousand pesos every month. This is where I get my other online revenues. As a blogger/partner you can:

• Sell ads and monetize your site with relatively little maintenance
• Earn up to 70% of ad revenue recurring monthly in most situations
• Get paid to blog and write reviews for products & services
• Tons of advertisers, from Fortune 500 to small businesses
• The more websites you list, the more money you earn

At Linkworth you can make money through the following:

1. LinkWords
2. Linkintext
3. LinkAds
4. LinkPost
5. LinkBB
6. Linksura
7. Linkmura
8. LinkPack


Linkintext and linkpost work for me well. If what is required by the advertiser is a Linkpost, then you write a post with a link back to the advertiser's site. If what is required is linkintext, the advertiser browses through the pages of you site and they'll look for a keyword, a text, a phrase to which they will use to link to their site.

As for the other ways, ill leave that to you to read in the Linkworth website. It will take a lot of time to explain.


For other faq:

• Standard Partners are paid 70% of all transactions. If a deal is setup during the middle of month, it is prorated for that month and the deal will renew at full price on the 1st of the next month.
• All links are pre-paid to LinkWorth and the portion paid to Partners is held for up to 30 days to ensure the link remains on the website.
• Linkworth has its own link rank which is different from Google's Page Rank. Your site will have a link rank which advertisers may or may not consider at all. So if you have a zero Page Rank you can still join.
• Minimum payout is $25.
• Partner's are paid via Direct Deposit (US Only), Bank Wire Transfer (International Only), Paypal transfer or a mailed business check on a monthly basis.

Refer to the image above for my unpaid balance for May 2008.
Feel free to join Linkworth and add it to your online revenue sources.

Another Page Rank Update: So???

With the recent PR update, google generously gave this Pinoy Dollar Quest blog a Page Rank of 2. Not hight but a lot better than seeing the PR-0. I was expecting a page rank of 4 as that was the prediction. But nonetheless I am more than happy.

I know the google page rank algorithm is as complicated as it could be. I don't understand it. Yes cause when I thought I already know how it works I get confused later on..lol.. Like how come a blog with no backlinks get a Page Rank while others with plenty of backlinks get no PR. Confusing isn't it! I've been presented with a lot of theories on how page rank is calculated and should i believe one than the other, when there seems to be no consistency with the algorithm as I see it. Some say the Page Rank algorithm was changed, then changed again, then here goes another change. In the end, bloggers get confused with Page Rank. Some get really lucky to have a Page Rank. But when you asked them how did they get their PR they'd more likely than not give you the same theoretical explanation: "I submit to different directories, exchange links with other bloggers and webmasters, made a sitemap, and this and that". And when you ask the blogger with a PR-0, he'll tell you exactly the same thing. And why the difference? Ask it to Google!

Page Rank is a measuring criterion of how important a website is?! Does this even hold true now? I doubt it for apparent reasons. Search online and you will find plenty of websites without backlinks and without any updates for months or years yet having very high page ranks. Look online and you'll find a number of filthy, pornographic websites where there is really is nothing but naked ladies or naked men, and plenty of pornographic videos, yet they have high page ranks. So where is the importance? The fact that they cater to many or perhaps few individuals who want to feed their hunger for lust? So you check on their backlinks, and yes some have plenty of backlinks again from pornographic sites.

But then again, even if we refuse to believe in its credibility, we are just mere bloggers and we revolve around this magnificent "Page Rank" thing to make it in the blogosphere both for fame, money and fun! So whether you believe in it or not is not an issue. You need a Page Rank or at least you want one than a big fat zero. (So while I don't have full trust with Page Rank I don't want to lose this blog's current page rank. )
