There is some kind of attack happening to Facebook. A malware worm is all over the network. The Facebook wall posts are infected. If you see a picture of a jester sticking out his toungue then you have it. The trojan most likely allows for other viruses or spyware to be downloaded. Social networks may be the new hotspots for phising, spam, spyware, and viruses.

I have been actively blogging in Social Spark and it is great. I love the new communication with the advertisers and the new social tools of this system. It is completely free to join SocialSpark. The approval process can be a little confusing at first but the wide range of help and support and helpful customer service representatives make the process much easier. Please remember in order to join Social Spark your blog must be at least ninety days old with at least 20 posts. You can not have more than 7 days in-between posts and the majority of the posts must be non sponsored, non affiliate, or non advertising posts. The really great thing about Social Spark is the full disclosure and nofollow links that will keep your Google PR up. I also like that you can wait for a slot in Social Spark so if you miss out on an opp when it first comes out you still have a chance to get it later. Emails are usually sent out at midnight (hopefully this time changes in the future to something more realistic like 8:00 am) but it is very workable. Fortunately you have 12 hours to do an opp instead of the usual 6 hours. There are some great new analytics and statistics and graphical reporting and the user interface looks great. Here is the profile link of Ted Murphy. I linked to him because he is the CEO of IZEA the creators of Social Spark.

Facebook has rules against users selling their own advertisements on their profile pages. Yet a recent report from Weblo (a Montreal advertising company) states that over fifteen hundred Facebook users are doing so. Weblo sells the ads and shares the revenue with Facebook users. There is no word yet but I am sure Facebook will shut this down because they want to sell their own ads using Beacon.

Many people may have seen the Problogger Poll How Much Did You Earn From Blogging in October Poll but these numbers don’t really mean anything. I turn the poll results into real numbers for all blogs making money in the United States of America for you below:

1. 48 blogs make over $15,000 a month each and every month

2. 36 blogs make $10,000 to $15000 a month each and every month

3. 60 blogs make between $5000 and $10000 a month each and every month

4. 216 blogs make between $1000 and $5000 a month each and every month

5. 192 blogs make $500 to $900 a month each and every month

6. 108 blogs make $100-$500 a month each and every month

7. 516 blogs make less than $100 a month each and every month but more than $0 a month.

8. The rest of the 12 million blogs in the United States of America make $0 a month or are too inconsistent in monthly earnings

Here is how I came up with the numbers:

• 43% off all bloggers that voted on the Problogger.net web site make under $100 a month

• 9% make between $100 and $500 a month (big gap)

• 16% make between $500 and $900 a month

• 18% make between $1000 and $5000 a month (again big gap)

• 5% make between $5000 and $10000 a month

• 3% make $10,000 to $15000 a month

• 4% make over $15,000 a month

Now what does this tell us? First of all many people will brag or lie about their income so let us drop off the 4% of people that make over $15,000 a month as an outlier or margin of error or whatever (even though I am sure there are plenty of people that do this). Now lets say most of the 18% claiming $1000-$5000 make closer to the $1000 a month.

This tells us an incredible 86% of people make under $1200 a month

Since this poll was conducted on a blog that is largely for professional bloggers the poll is really more for this question:

How much do highly sophisticated or full time Bloggers earn a month?

And the answer would be 86% make under $1200 a month

99.999% of the 12 million blogs in the United States make a big fat $0.00. That would mean that only 12,000 blogs in the United States make income. Of that number only 10% probably apply to the Problogger poll. That’s 1,200 making significant income. Let’s use the above percentages and apply this number of blogs.

1. 48 blogs make over $15,000 a month each and every month

2. 36 blogs make $10,000 to $15000 a month each and every month

3. 60 blogs make between $5000 and $10000 a month each and every month

4. 216 blogs make between $1000 and $5000 a month each and every month

5. 192 blogs make $500 to $900 a month each and every month

6. 108 blogs make $100-$500 a month each and every month

7. 516 blogs make less than $100 a month each and every month but more than $0 a month.

8. The rest of the 12 million blogs in the United States of America make $0 a month or are too inconsistent in monthly earnings

It seems like everyone these days finally knows what a blog is (or thinks they know what a blog is) or has at least heard of blogs. But let me tell you one thing my friend; a myspace blog or a free blog account is not a blog. And unless you are posting at least once a day to your blog, it isn’t blogging. The other thing to consider is if your blog has a purpose or if it is just a journal of your thoughts. That’s called journaling not blogging. Did you know that 50% of all bloggers stop posting after 3 months? Why is that? Because blogging is hard and it takes committment. And if you are not making money immediately with blogging then you frankly have better things to do with your time. If you are committed to blogging professionaly or simply to make some good money in the long term then why not contact me today?

My Top 9 Wordpress Plugins

There are many different Wordpress Plugins to choose from but here are my top 9 Wordpress Plugins:

1. The Google Site Maps Plugin – creates a Google site map .xml file for your blog that is recreated with every post and sends a ping to Google

2. Dagon User Site map Plugin – a user friendly site map file that helps your users find what they are looking for

3. The All in One Search Engine Optimization Pack – Wordpress plugin that lets you make titles and descriptions and keywords for your posts

4. Related Info Plugin – list related posts under content and increases the user experience

5. Adsense Manager – if you have no idea what your are doing with Google adsense this plugin is a great start

6. Gregarious – places a nice digg button and links to other social networks on your blog

7. Google Analyticator – plugin lets you use Google Analytics which is the absolute best one available for web stats

8. Popularity Contest – plugin displays the most popular posts on your blog based on your settings

9. WP Comment Spam Stopper – now I know many people swear by Akismet for stopping spam but i don’t like it. I do like this one.

One of the major things I hear from Digg users is that Wordpress sucks. Well guess what guys? It doesn’t. The only reason you think it sucks is because most of the time Wordpress sites that are linked from Digg immediately crash. The reason is that these sites are not running the Word Press Cache Plugin. This plugin effectively turns Wordpress from a dynamic database driven web site into a static .html web site. This works by reducing php and mysql queries and instead displaying a cached static version. Does this work? Yes. I had 3,500 Digg visitors in one hour with the Word Press Cache Plugin and the site had great performance. You do need to make sure that your hosting account is not one of these $3 a month for 1 Gig of bandwidth accounts though or your site will max out on bandwidth usage.

So Digg users it really isn’t Wordpress that sucks, it is people that don’t have enough bandwidth ($10 or more a month) hosting accounts or have not bothered to install the Word Press Cache Plugin.

Now can this site take 30,000 people in one hour? I think so. Let’s give it a try….
