I am Hubpages member since 2009. So I have seen hubpages ups and downs. And now I can see that they are getting non google traffic. So yes, they did survived. It’s not easy to survive more than 11 years on web. They are doing it. With adblcoker it would be harder. But let’s see what happens.

I think in between swagbucks and the efforts put into Mturk. I would say a lot of people can go for the MTurk. Because it’d be easier to learn MTurk and make some small percent of money. Otherwise you know both of them are going to earn low.

Hubpages is not relying on google SEO and the adblocker. So they are working hard on so many variables. It means they are going to find better way to get traffic. Hubpages hardly gets traffic from googel anymore but they are making good money. Hubpages is using niche site to get traffic and they are also running newsletters and social media…[Read more]

I guess lot of sites are dying so the people are scattered around. So mylot, forumcoin and Literacybase have the common people around. It’s fun to have familiar faces around. That way it does not get bored. You too have a good week ahead.

Helium died way before adblocker. So I guess their exit definitely helped the owners. As you know it’s hard to make money from ads now. So it’s really a trouble to see how many sites these days are going to pay. Afterall, we can’t see sites surviving despite having adblocker.

There are many interesting events in Greek history and mythology, this is one of them.Yes it is an interesting ploy applied to enter the enemies ranks and win the war. Whether it is true or not one has to speculate. But my take on this is something of that sort has happened at that time may be on a smaller scale.

Later as historians and story…[Read more]

Yes. When I have nothing to write, I usually post comment. There is a lot to discuss and comment here. But it’s hard to access new content because sidebars don’t help much for that. I wish we had some way to check new posts for more than 10 posts.

I think wages often change during the season. For example summer and holidays bring more wages to me. But rest of the year, it is not much. Also expenses pile up. And this in turn makes it harder for me to get back to normal track. Wages if saved properly can help but at some point in time we need to get a raise.

I think we get desperate because we are not sure if how much we have to save. And we are also not sure how much money we need in long term. So those type of small things do count. I think saving moderately and also enjoying the life is the key.

I have seen Squidoo, Bubblews, Niume, Tinycent fall. Niume and Tinycent turned out to be so scammy that they manipulated views. Same with bubblews. Some people got paid so it remained hanging case. I miss squidoo, it was good income source. As good as the real job itself.

Fall of these sites made me think that after I earn some specific amount…[Read more]

Many people these days are sharing to flipboard and twitter. I don’t have that much following. I wonder how to even get the followers. I wish to get 1000 or more followers and then see where things go with that.

I guess the story of how greeks destroyed their own ship before going to Troy was also worth reading. Though I am kind of skeptical on how much of those stories are true.
