Another way I make money online besides internet marketing is through online poker. Online poker is one of my favorite hobbies and you can make a nice bit of cash on the side if you get good at it. Online Casino Bluebook is a great site to check out if you’re looking for reviews and sign up bonuses on different online casino rooms. There are a lot of premium Online Poker Rooms out there besides PokerStars. I play on a handful of different poker sites so I can take advantage of all the different freerolls and other promotions.

Online Casino Bluebook also has an extensive list of No Deposit Casinos so you can get to playing quickly with little or no money. The casinos are rated and the amount of free money that you get is even noted.

I like the fact that it is simple and easy to navigate through the Top Online Casinos . There’s not a bunch of annoying flash banners all over the site, which many other casino websites have. I just see the information that is important to me.

So if you’re not sure where to start playing Online Poker and slots, or you just want to take advantage of some bonuses, take a look at Online Casino Bluebook.

I tested a few of my sites to see how Google would respond to adding a long list of keywords in the meta tags and on the page itself (a different color than the background and the same color as the background). This was just done for educational purposes to see what the engine responds to .

Anyways these are the results that I got:

1. Spammed keywords in meta - did not drop my sites very much if at all in Google, but didn’t help bring in more traffic via search results.
2. Spammed keywords on the page but visible - this caused the rankings on my sites to drop a couple hundred ranks, but it popped back up a couple of days after I removed them.

I’ve been trying out AuctionAds on some of my entertainment sites and I have noticed two things:

1. The Click Throught Rate is great, I’m seeing way more clicks than I did with Adsense. Also, when I had both of them on the same site having AuctionAds didn’t decrease the amount of clicks I was already getting with Adsense. Kind of like Kontera + Adsense.

2. None of the clicks were actually making me any money. I guess the traffic isn’t in ‘buy mode’ enough even though I was displaying cell phones and other items that I thought would appeal to the entertainment crowd.

I do like what AuctionAds has to offer and will continue to test them, but on sites in another area.

Check out what Zac Johnson’s results were with AuctionAds .

I Came across 30 Essential Pieces Of Free (and Open) Software for Windows and this is one of the best lists i’ve seen put out about free software. From office to photoshop to antivirus applications. Worth a look.

Very entertaining performance, had me laughing.

I read a lot of different blogs around the net to learn more about affiliate marketing, SEO, PPC, etc. But no blog has taught me more than the Shoemoney blog.

Why is this? This is because a couple of reasons.

• The author of the blog is Jeremy Schoemaker, who is one of the most successful Search Engine Marketing experts around.
• Because of all the success, Jeremy can afford to share information through his blog and not be threatened by the competition it may bring.
• Honesty.

I take a look at just about all his posts, but some are more useful to internet marketers than others. Jeremy goes over cloaking and Google’s Quality score which was a huge blow to a lot of affiliate marketers. He also explains why affiliates are so important to merchants today. Another article that got lots of link and digg love was his prediction on why Microsoft will acquire Yahoo in 2007 where he throws up a lot of valid reasons. The SERPS Tool also rocks.

Not only is there a blog, but there is also a podcast by Shoemoney where he shares tons a valuable info. This is partially because they are unscripted, so many questions are on the spot. The name of the podcast is Net Income, and I do recommend it to anyone in the internet marketing game. He picks the brains of many experts on the show, and he has more than 20 shows so that should keep anyone busy for a while.

Lastly, I’d like to thank Shoemoney because I honestly DO make more money because of the things he has brought to my attention through his blog and his podcast.

This is why he has been on my blogroll since I started this blog.

In Pursuit of Happyness is another movie that is worth seeing and I would recommend it. Maybe not buying it but renting it if you have not already seen it in theaters. The movie is a motivating one and I think it’s Will Smith’s best serious roll. I have a lot of respect for people that are determined and come out on top even when they are disadvantaged. In Pursuit of Happyness is inspired by a true story and Will Smith plays a father that really steps up to the plate for his son.

I saw Blood Diamond recently and I have to say that was impressed. You would not expect Leonardo DiCaprio to play a badass, but he played the role well. The storyline is complex with many different sides - diamond smugglers, civilians, Sierra Leone government, U.S. government and reporters.
