Share-Blog-Things : Paid Review from LinkFromBlog -updated

Some people may know about online business. Some people have to invest some amount of money to grab bucks and other don't. Few months ago I heard about "Paid to Review" or PTR. You don't have to invest money to get paid. From what I read/heard, this is very recommended for people who own blog/website. I use this to add article on my blog when I got blank idea for next article (I can get money and add quantities of posts in the same time).

The steps are very easy :

1. Create account
2. Submit blog/website
3. Do review-order or take opprotunities
4. Get money

updated : some people might see this as boring thing, but for me, this is interesting way to get income from blog. Make blog become bugs?? Choose topic related to your blog and keep post your real articles. Paid review have precentage rules between paid articles and not.

Usually we need blog with Page Rank minimum 1 or 2 but last month my friend told me there's PTR service that accept blog with Page Rank 0 !
It's called LINK FROM BLOG.

You can advertise on blogs too by place order and let people write about your product on their blog/website (It support many languages even Indonesian!). Things you have to know (and I think this is important) is the size of your review (copied from TOS)

Blog post must conform to size specified in the task (Post, Short review or Detailed review). Recommended sizes for posts of each type:
a) Post: 1-2 sentences, no more than 250 characters total, must contain not more then 1 (one) hyperlink, which can be seen on permalink page only ( not shows on the main blog page). Up to 3 Posts in the same post are allowed, if the opposite is not explicitly stated in the Advertiser's task.
b) Short review: 1-2 paragraphs, no less than 300 characters total, not exceeding 1000 characters. It may contain more then one hyperlink, which must be visible on blog homepage.c) Detailed review: a unique text, prepared by the owner of the blog, not shorter than 1000 characters, detailing the site, services, products or other. It may contain more then one hyperlink, which must be visible on blog homepage.

If you make wrong size post, your article will be declined. Just do it consider the portion you've been ordered and you will be safe. So what do you think? Ready to try this PTR service and monetize your blog? I, myself has tried many PTR.. and this one will be my next experiment...

another good things is : It support many languages even Indonesian !

Updated Article

Realize that most of my visitor come from my beloved country, Indonesia, I'm planning to put Indonesian translation on my article. But I don't want to use Google Translator widget. Why? Because it make a mess.

Yesterday, I use Google Translation to translate History Of Valentine from wikipedia to Indonesian. You can guess the result. The meaning of  that history is a mess. Most of the sentences have different meaning. Google Translation is good for translate phrase but not for 1 long sentence or more sentences (more than 7 words). 

Right now, I will not make more blog in Indonesian. Two blogs have already consumed my time. So I'll just make new article in Indonesian or just give additional information on my previous article.

How can we know which article is updated in Indonesian?? 
Don't worry, I'll put that article up (edit the time so it will be the newest article)... have a nice day Read more!

Valentine is Forbidden? - updated with Indonesian translation !

The most interesting fact for me is "Valentine is Forbidden".

updated : for 21 years I live in Indonesia, I just knew this fact today ! OMG.. how can I'm not updated with these news?

I know this from some friends. A religion in Indonesia (or maybe some) see this day as Satan Day. Why?

1. People use this day to do free-sex

2. Identic with party and somehow, alcohol and drugs. Depend on how they celebrate Valentine

Strange. Yes, for me it's strange. What is the history of Valentine? Does Valentine does free-sex, drugs, and alcohol? No ! Does he teach people to do that?? NO !

updated : So, is western culture wrong? Hmm.. Western culture it is not wrong. What is wrong is the people who screwed up the culture. Same like Indonesian culture. There's nothing wrong with Indonesian culture. The wrong one is the people who make Indonesia marked as "lazy and corrupt"-culture owner

History of Valentine(source: wikipedia)

Numerous early Christian martyrs were named Valentine.

The Early Medieval acta of either Saint Valentine were expounded briefly in Legenda Aurea. According to that version, St Valentine was persecuted as a Christian and interrogated by Roman Emperor Claudius II in person. Claudius was impressed by Valentine and had a discussion with him, attempting to get him to convert to Roman paganism in order to save his life. Valentine refused and tried to convert Claudius to Christianity instead. Because of this, he was executed. Before his execution, he is reported to have performed a miracle by healing the blind daughter of his jailer.

Legenda Aurea still providing no connections whatsoever with sentimental love, appropriate lore has been embroidered in modern times to portray Valentine as a priest who refused an unattested law attributed to Roman Emperor Claudius II, allegedly ordering that young men remain single. The Emperor supposedly did this to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers. The priest Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young men. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine arrested and thrown in jail. In an embellishment to The Golden Legend provided by American Greetings, Inc. to History.com and widely repeated, on the evening before Valentine was to be executed, he wrote the first "valentine" himself, addressed to a young girl variously identified as his beloved, as the jailer's daughter whom he had befriended and healed, or both. It was a note that read "From your Valentine."

 The Valentines honored on February 14 are Valentine of Rome (Valentinus presb. m. Romae) and Valentine of Terni (Valentinus ep. Interamnensis m. Romae). Valentine of Rome was a priest in Rome who was martyred about AD 269 and was buried on the Via Flaminia. His relics are at the Church of Saint Praxed in Rome, and at Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland.

Valentine of Terni became bishop of Interamna (modern Terni) about AD 197 and is said to have been martyred during the persecution under Emperor Aurelian. He is also buried on the Via Flaminia, but in a different location than Valentine of Rome. His relics are at the Basilica of Saint Valentine in Terni (Basilica di San Valentino).

No romantic elements are present in the original early medieval biographies of either of these martyrs. By the time a Saint V:alentine became linked to romance in the fourteenth century, distinctions between Valentin'e of Rome and Valentine of Terni were utterly lost.

DALAM BAHASA INDONESIA :

Pada awal zaman medieval (abad ke-14), Valetine dijatuhi hukuman mati oleh Raja Romawi Cladius II. Sebelum kematiannya, Raja Claudius II mengajak Valentine untuk berdiskusi dan meminta Valentine membantu rencana politiknya. Rencananya adalah melarang semua pemuda untuk memiliki pasangan hidup dan harus terus membujang. Raja Claudius percaya, adanya wanita dalam hidup laki-laki akan membuat laki-laki tersebut tidak bisa menjadi tentara yang berkualitas. Valentine menolak hal tersebut dan menyelenggarakan pemberkatan pernikahan secara diam-diam. Akhirnya Valentine terus mendekam di penjara.
Saat berada di penjara, ia jatuh cinta pada seorang putri penjaga dan menyembuhkan mata sayang putri tersebut yang buta. Sebelum dijatuhi hukuman mati, ia mengirim surat cinta ke putri tersebut dengan diakhiri kata "Dari Valentine-mu"

Pada tanggal 14 Februari lainnya, dua orang diberkati dengan nama Valentine yaitu Valentine dari Temi dan Valentine dari Roma
Valentine dari Roma adalah seorang martir (mati karena membela Tuhan) di tahun 269 dan dimakamkan di Via Flamia. Reliefnya ada di Gereja Saint Praxed dan di Gereja Whitefriar Steret Carmelit di Dublin, Ireland.

Valentine dari Terni menjadi uskup Interamna tahun 197 merupakan martir yang dieksekusi oleh Kaisar Aurelian. Dia pun dimakamkan di Via Flamina, di tempat yang berbeda dari Valentine Roma. Reliefnya ada di Basilica of Saint Valentine di Terni.

Tidak ada unsur roman dalam dua Valentine ini. Dokumen tentang Valentine dari Roma dan Valentine dari Terni juga hilang

For me, there's nothing wrong with those St. Valentine(s)... From reading the history, I begin to realize that actually Valentine day is a day to remember that "Love need sacrifice and must be respected as it's not easy to get". Not Satan Day/ Free-Sex Day.

That's why, I'm soooo confuse... If that's the bad-people who do the sins, then why they have to blame St. Valentine(s) and forbid Valentine? Do they not respect the death of St. Valentine and efforts he had done? OR do they want to remain single like those Roman's army men? This fact, is really interesting....

Actually, there's 2 versions of History of Valentine. The first one is what I get from wikipedia, Valentine as a martyr and Saint. The second one is Valentine(s) as a raper, playboy, sinner, and lecherous people. Which one is right? For now, I just can say, it's up to you. If you see Valentine(s) as a Saint, learn from them and become good person. If you see Valentine (s) as a Lecherous, don't do what they do. Simple.

I can't put the second version of Valentine (sinner) because it will show which religion(s) I mentioned.. I'm afraid it will nudge some people/groups

So, what should we do? Forbid it or receive it? It's up to you.. For you who believe that Valentine is "Love" day, show your love to your parents, family, friend, spouse, etc in normal and ethical way. For you who believe Valentine is "Satan Day", don't do free sex, alcohol, drugs forever in your life as that's the reason why you see Valentine is Satan Day...

SPAM ? What is that?

What is SPAM? From my conversation with my buddy in YM, he said

you are doing SPAM while you inform some body not to do it to you. That is not fair anyway

How to prevent spam?

Messenger

Tell the person who sent Spam message to you that you don't will to get any information from him/her (but if you want like some categories, tell your friend also, what information you like to receive and not). If you don't tell him/her, how can your friend know you don't will it?? Also, don't even try to report someone as spammer if you don't do anything to help them not become spamming. You have rights to report if you've told them that you don't want any updates from them. Just try to play fair.

Blog Comment

Use comment moderation so you can choose which comment you'd like to publish

Email

Try to not write your email address on your blog/website in text. Try http://services.nexodyne.com/email/. This service can convert your email address into picture so Spam robots can't crawl into your inbox.
If you still get spam email from the same sender over and over though you told him/her, block the sender.

But how to not become spammer??
It's not easy. What? So it's okay to become spammer? NO ! Why I said that it's not easy? Because....

1. Most people stay QUIET when they get information they don't want for first and second time. They smile in front of you but mocking you behind. Report it right away without give any suggestion. It's like, hit you with giant stone, leaving you dead, washed their hand, then walk away

2. How come we know they don't will it? If we spread information about "How to get $100/day even though you don't have website/blog", how many people will refuse it? Or if we spread information about, "Be Careful ! People able to know your PIN and Account Number after you did transaction on ATM!", how many people don't like to read it?

So, how to not become spammer??

Messenger

After you know who want which information, make a buddy list and only send according on your information category. But how if I want to give news about security like ATM problem above? Just sent it but write "If you feel this is also a spam information you don't want, tell me right away. Don't just stay quiet and report". It's sound a little bit rude. But I've experienced this.

I use "sent to all" 3 times to the same person. What did I get? For the first and second message, he stays quiet. But then, after third message, he said "Don't even dare to spam on YM I'll notice and delete it and than report it to yahoo". Is it good? No. Why don't he told me from the first time? And then, he told me "I just not agree that you not allowed other people to SPAM you while you did it to other". Same here buddy. But I always told 'spammer' at least after he/she spammed me 2 times. That's fair.

Email

Same with messenger

Blog

Not give unnecessary (trash) comment(s) on post. Read the post before you give comment ! If you don't understand, leave it or ask.
That's all from me today on this Valentine day dan Chinese New Year

Happy Valentine and Chinese New Year

Blogger Top Contribution Official Blog Star - Why they don't help people on Blogger Help Forum?

Blogging for almost one year, I begin to realize that there's something wrong with Google Help Forum. It's not help !

Month ago, one of my blog considered as spam but I'm so clueless why it's happened. So I began to cross checked with T.O.S, any information about spam, asked people, but they told same thing "Your blog seems okay. You should ask in Blogger(google) Help Forum especially to Top Contributor Official Blog Star. They're expert in blogger things". So I did it. But I get nothing.... Do you what replies I got form them? Below is the quotes :

We have a simple, 4 step protocol, which has been proven effective, when properly used.  Please do, in this order, without awaiting response from any previous step:

1. Read the articles, cited below.  Learn how to do steps #2 and #3, and why we have this problem.  Help us to help you, and to help others.
2. Submit a review request.
3. Submit an appeal.
4. Do not wait for a response from either Steps #2 or #3.  Post here, stating that you have executed steps #2 & #3 (and when did you do so?), and providing the BlogSpot URL(s) of the blog(s).

If you miss one step, the restore won't work.  You need to do #1, then #2, then #3, then #4.  These are not mindless formalities, they are logical progression, and they help us to help you better.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/thread?tid=33fc69199fb4214a&hl=en

This is a constant problem, and you're not being singled out.  Get to work - you can do Steps #1 - 4 in an hour, and move on with your life.

http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2007/08/get-to-root-of-problem-blame-spammers.html

http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2009/11/attack-of-clones.html

http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2009/11/coyotes-hyenas-and-turkeys.html

So you have done Step #2.  Now, do Steps #1, #3, then #4.  This should take you less than an hour.

Just do it, and get it done.

Seems helpful? Actually not ! I read it, and nothing answer my questions. Blame spammer? Is that the only one we can do? In fact, the last articles just talk about how bloggers react when their blog considered as spam. It seems the author like to see others as animal.

Next replies :

Your blog has been deemed by Google to violate their Terms of Service and will not be restored. 

Hmm excuse me.. I'm searching for "why". It's not help but someone marked this question as "best answer". So I repeat my questions and I get answer from ToP Star to read articles again..

Sorry, Arne.  All good things end some day.  Blogger has reviewed your blog.

Your blog will, quite likely, not be unlocked.

I will close now, with a link to an instructional post of mine.

http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2009/11/gobble-gobble.html

And, I'll paraphrase advice from Blogger.

http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=42577

"Spam blogs cause various problems, beyond simply wasting a few seconds of your time when you happen to come across one. They can clog up search engines, making it difficult to find real content on the subjects that interest you. They may contain material that's been scraped from other sites on the web, and may use other people's writing to make it look as though they have useful information of their own. And if an automated system is creating spam posts at an extremely high rate, it can impact the speed and quality of the service for other, legitimate users."

And, I'll thank you in advance for your understanding of Blogger's position. 

Helpful? Not at all....It's not help. The author say that I'm a Turkey who only can gobble without reason. When someone doesn't get answered, is it wrong and not "humanism" to ask more and more? And again, this answer mark as "Best Answered". oh my....
And that's it.. no more reply from "Top Star". So I send feedback on forum. Say how I disappointed with the service. Is it wrong to say like that? No. Feedback can be 2 types, good one or the bad one. I just summary all the "unhelpful" reply I got and asked one more time for help. I'm still clueless until now. What did I got? Guess it :

Amelia,

Here's my latest contribution, which describes the review process.  I hope that it will enlighten you.  You had the final review, and the decision of the umpires cannot be appealed.

http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2010/02/three-strikes-and-youre-out.html 

Hello? Review process? Did I ask about review process? I think I'm not. Is my explanation up there not clear? I don't ask about how Top Contributor Official Blog Star check my blog. I've known it. I'm asking "what's wrong with my blog?"

I'm trying to get answered about why my blog considered as spam, not trying to get answered how is review process
If these Top Star don't know why my blog considered as spam, just say it, "I don't know". It's okay. I won't blame them for something they don't know. But I don't like it when they act like they know but actually they don't.
I'm not offense Google or Blogger (who am I to do that?). I just asked, "What's wrong with my blog?".

I'm really disappointed with Blogger(google) Help Forum. If those Top Star mock me, I don't mind, just do it I won't be angry. But I really don't like it when they act like they know but actually they don't. 

I begin to confuse what is this forum for.. To make someone being Top Contributor Star and get compliment as much as he/she can, or to help people? I don't know how much Star in this forum. But if all Stars act like this: marked unhelpful answer as "Best Answer", don't care about clueless people, offer unhelpful articles, soon people will find that this forum is not helpful at all.. I hope people who are Official Blog Stars and "wanna be Star" considered this to improve the quality of Official Stars.... Don't be over proud of the authority you have or you will have..
