ksmusselman P.S. A great resource for jump starting a decent blog or website that you can add AdSense ads to is with free PLR articles. Just do a Google for "free PLR articles" and start grabbing up some free articles that you know something about, doing a rewrite on them...

That scared me

aurorastorm @aurorastorm (1131) • United States 16 Aug 10

ksmusselman Yeah, as if things aren't bad enough, my car's in the shop with a snapped timing belt requiring $400+ worth of work to get it back on the road. Replacing a cell phone would be a lot cheaper for me right now. LOL

Tags why?

aurorastorm @aurorastorm (1131) • United States 10 Aug 10

I am really new with making money online. I understand how tags work on blog sites. Can anyone tell me why it is important to use tags here on My Lot? What do I not understand about how Tags work?

ksmusselman Ditto what the other two said. Think of tags here as the same as any other tags in any other forums or even simply as the "meta tags" a/k/a keywords, that you would add to a website. They're very helpful!

ksmusselman Yes, stress can literally be a KILLER, so whatever your stresses are, try to alleviate them as much as possible. Sometimes going on an anti-anxiety med will help with some of the stress too, as well as exercise and eating right. Stress can lead to stroke,...
