		<description><![CDATA[I think a few people at HubPages recently have had warning emails from Adsense &#8211; in part the email goes something like this: While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our policies. For instance, we found violations of AdSense policies on pages such as h**p://cdn.hubpages.com/hub/XXGoogleXAdsenseX. Please note that this URL is an example and that the same violations may exist on other pages of your website. As stated in our program policies, AdSense publishers are not permitted to make prominent use of &#8220;Google Brand Features&#8221; on sites displaying Google ads. This includes any sites that attempt to create a false association with Google or use Google trademarks in the URL. So apparently you can&#8217;t use Adsense or Google in urls &#8211; note this was just in the end part of the url as well not actually the domain name. Not on a site which uses Adsense anyways. I&#8217;m not the only one to have been affected on HubPages and the Hub support team suggested I unpublish or change the url&#8217;s on any hub which contained &#8220;google&#8221; or &#8220;adsense&#8221;. So I did &#8211; about a month ago [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a great debate about how much those of us who build online passive income sites as to how much you reveal of your niches. There is every opinion out there &#8211; some people don&#8217;t care who finds their sites &#8211; others go to great lengths to conceal their niches. Its at tricky balance in my opinion and part of the answer lies in people&#8217;s underlying personalities and some in their business model. Its an issue that anyone doing passive income blogging has to deal with at some point though. I resisted the idea of having multiple online personas for a long time. Eventually though I realised that I wanted to start a couple of new personas on hubpages for the hubchallenge &#8211; having a few more profile pages which I could link to my sites seeemed like a good idea. Then of course if I build backlinks to those hubs from other sites such as article directories then I need the same persona to link there, and so it goes as they say. Here&#8217;s some points that people do confuse themselves with &#8211; who are you hiding from Google or your competitors. If you are running Adsense you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK so not a day after I write about diversifying to other Web 2.0 article sites and review  InfoBarrel the great Hubpage challenge blows up all over the Internet. If you have been asleep under a rock and not paying attention it went like the: Court decided to have a new money making experiment: 100 hubs in 30 days. Well Hubpage&#8217;s marketing guy Ryan Hupfer noticed this (btw if you are wondering how this sort of thing happens &#8211; I have 2 words for you &#8220;google alerts&#8221; a great way to know what people are saying about you!). Long story short we now have The Great Hub Challenge: Actually I am crazier than that because  I also want to get to earn 30 points in the May InfoBarrel promotion which will increase my Adsense share there to 90% for June. A little over a year I was part of a contest on HubPages which basically meant writing as many hubs as possible on a daily given topic. It was a good way to just get stuff out there &#8211; and some of those hubs make me money to  this day &#8211; some &#8211; I didn&#8217;t know what I was doing. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well what a difference a month makes! Sure its turning cooler here in Australia and we may have seen the end of the Perth swimming season but its all looking rosy from where I&#8217;m sitting! I have been a whole lot more focused in March though the Site Build It fracas was a little distracting. Trust me the amount of traffic would have taken this blog down if it had been on shared hosting &#8211; hostgator reseller rocks is all I can say! I made  some new friends during the whole thing and I&#8217;d like to give a shout out to Lorecee at Work From Home On-Line Guide who really gave some thoughtful  comments from an ex-customer&#8217;s point of view. Some people thought that I did the whole Site Build It Review to make passive income from their affiliate system. I didn&#8217;t. I initially did it to build my subscribers and hopefully get noticed my some people looking for information about how to start an online business. I have put an affiliate offer on the post now &#8211; a legit piece of software which will hand-hold you through the site building process, is a one time cost, offers a 30-day [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For important new developments at todaydotcom check out my update : is today a scam? The importance of backlinks we have discussed before. Many sites allow you to link to your own sites – two that I use are hubpages and today.com which are sites which pay you to blog. Today particularly require that to earn their payment per post the content must be original and not self-promotional. This appears to confuse people – and yet although many of my posts promote other sites I have none have them been flagged. 1-Feb-09 Update &#8211; today has now tightened up and will not pay the per post fee if you have a link to any site you own or to any article on hubpages , AC and similar sites.  You still get the traffic payment. What&#8217;s the secret – write an original article, related to the same topic – add a link somewhere – not an obvious one – just a link with the text that you are are trying to rank for in Google. There&#8217;s a link in this paragraph which is relevant to the broad topic of making money blogging but this post would get approved if I had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[IMPORTANT: Read this update on blogging at today dot com &#8211; it still works well for trends though. Well I am enjoying blogging at today.com more and more. Mainly because I am finding it pretty easy to get my posts indexed and then get search traffic to them. What I am doing is something that is called &#8220;trends blogging&#8221;. Google has an appetite and the appetite is for whatever people are searching for at the moment. To check out the top 100 queries at Google trends - trust me it usually makes for pretty depressing reading! I&#8217;ve tried using Google trends to blog directly &#8211; but to be honest lacking real-time access to US TV is a huge disadvantage &#8211; and not caring even less about US popular &#8220;culture&#8221; is a show-stopper! So instead I am doing my own version: which is currently around a film which is about to be released. I suspect it might be popular because the sexy photos of Nicole Kidman in Australia hub does pretty well. And the movie isn&#8217;t out yet &#8211; which is the point &#8211; the premier is tonight so I wrote about the Australia Movie premier and the post was indexed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google has just released their Search Engine Optimization Guide. Yes the big G itself is finally prepared to answer the most FAQ out there &#8221; How do I get my site to rank in Google?&#8221; Its a pretty scary document: well scary if you are in the business of scamming people out of good money by pretending that SEO is hard to do &#8211; its anything but. In fact I suspect none of what is in this guide is new. Its just been finally collected all together in one place so that people can actually find it &#8211; now that&#8217;s an idea! The report is fairly simple to understand for anyone who has the rudiments of how a website is setup. The bottom line is excellent for anyone who wants to make money as an online writer because as usual the bottom line is that a website which is attractive and useful for readers will also attract the search engines. Get your headings right and make sure you correctly anchor your backlinks and Google will notice. I wrote an extended review of Googles SEO Guide an how it applies to HubPages here: SEO How to Do It by Google One [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I occasionally get the comment that I shouldn&#8217;t publish all my better content on sites I don&#8217;t own or control. The comment came up again on HubPages where I was told again that I was basically wasting my time publishing there. Well its true at one level: the actual direct income I make from Adsense/Kontera/eBay/Amazon revenue sharing pays for my hosting: but that&#8217;s about it!. No the effect of Hubpages is more subtle than that. I have readers who actually read what I post there. That said my best ever hub in terms of views by hubpages readers is this one high-lighting some sexy pictures of Nicole Kidman. I have a theory on this. As an exclusively English language site HubPages has a quite a number of Indian authors. India still has tight censorship laws which probably block most of the X-rated sites which are prevelent across the internet. HubPages bans &#8220;adult&#8221; hubs but their interpretation is the same as Adsense&#8217;s that is the odd American view of sex which bans (female) nipples but wet transparent clothing is fine. I don&#8217;t know for sure but I know that I have had over 200 views a day for weeks at a [...]]]></description>
