Last week my AdSense earnings skyrocketed, my server dropped on its knees before I activated the WP-Cache plugin. What I did?
Simple answer: I leaded a trend.
Ronaldo’s ex-girlfriend, Daniela Cicarelli, showed up on a Spanish TV gossip show, her very own sex tape. Sure, far more classy than Paris Hilton’s one, but still a sex tape.
Making it short, she was filmed making out with her boyfriend at a beach, it gets hot and they both go to the water, where they finished what they started, 3rd (underwater) base and all.
Tons of blogs and news sites are harvesting hits, republishing the same story. Is it a valid strategy? Or are we deceiving our visitors? Should a blog jump in that wagon?
I’d say yes.
If you reblog a meme, you’re just creating noise, but if you write about the meme, it’s another whole story. It’s a showcase, a bunch of new readers will find your blog, read your ideas and sample your content.
They’re focused about the subject, if you’re good enough, they’ll acknowledge it. I received a lot of compliments about my articles on the Cicarelli affair. Including a 50% bounce rate, it means only half of visitors coming from Google went away after reaching the article. The other half choosed to stay and explore a little.
Even the most focused bloggers now and then write about irrelevant subjects, and if you can indulge yourself once or twice, why not do that for a noble cause, a huge amount of new visitors, fortune and glory Thru Google AdSense?
A good writer can write about anything, and if everybody is writing about something, you’ve a lot of research material; you can gather the common sense, work your text around it and be truly original.
Your new audience will love it.

Hey Cardoso! Making much money with ads!?
I have to learn writing in a good and clear english to create a blog like this.
Good Luck!

Well, Rafael, clear English is a must for exams. Everyday english is better for blogs!
Try to mantain a blog using Cult and Regular Portuguese… it’s an easy way to scare your readers away :).

Americans finally realize the try-before-you-buy works just as well with sex as it does with commodities. Rather than marrying and then shacking up with hot sex coming after the nuptuals, Americans are increasingly putting out before putting on the wedding rings.Women are just as likely as men to get it on before matrimony.
I think this is just the sign of the times. I mean, we like to test things, try them out, before making a purchase. Why should sex and marriage be any different? The stigma associated with pre-marital sex is dead. Long live free love!
