Mybloglog Will Be Closed

Bad news comes from Yahoo, because according to some sources, yahoo will close one of their sites. Mybloglog, social bookmarking sites that could shine in 2008, should be closed because of declining traffic. Yahoo reportedly will close mybloglog January 2010, not sure exactly yahoo will close this site.

Actually, since yahoo bought mybloglog in 2007, this site shows a very good traffic. But unfortunately, because unable to compete, this site has a lot of decline in terms of member and traffic. At that time, yahoo must pay a $10 million to buy mybloglog from Cloudspace.

Here is a statement from yahoo about mybloglog :

"Yesterday, rumors surfaced around Yahoo!’s imminent shutdown of its MyBlogLog service. Frankly, it’s no secret within Yahoo! that we’re actively discussing the future of MyBlogLog.

However, it’s also true that we have not made any final decisions at this point. Is a shutdown on the table? Sure, that’s an option. But there are other options as well. We know this creates some uncertainty for current MyBlogLog users. While we aren't quite ready to share more details, we promise to keep you posted."

 

Eric Marcoulier (developer mybloglog) said : "this site was so long neglected so far behind from facebook, twitter and other social networking sites. Thus, the only way is to close this site". Very in pity, because I really like mybloglog, because it looks simple and easy application.

Hopefully yahoo cancel his intention, and mybloglog will continue flying with the increasing traffic. We'll wait!

Infolinks : How to Get Easy Money

There were questions from friends in shoutmix, which asked the green link on my blog. For that I will explain about these links, for the newbie green links are normal links that if the clicks will go to another web page. Actually the links are from broker sites ppc or pay per click, which made for bloggers who have a blog / website.

There are many ppc programs on the internet, but are seldom offered as what is given by infolinks.com. Here you can get more than other ppc sites, and CPM on the far left infolinks competitors, such as Kontera and Chitika.

Very easy and profitable, you only need to register your blog with the number of visitors to a minimum average of 100 per day. Because of my experience, sign up with a blog with number of visitors that only 30 per day, was rejected by infolinks.

Please go infolinks.com site and click Join to sign up. Fill you with complete data, ranging from website url, website language, email and password.

Click the radio buttons available below, then click Continue. And than Copy the script code supplied by infolinks into your HTML template, paste before the tag </ body>.

Wait for an answer from the infolinks, accepted or not your blog, depending on the infolinks. While awaiting an answer from infolinks, a good idea to increase the number of visitors to your blog and many pray that your blog is approved.

Good luck !
