1st Adgitize Payment 2010 **

I'll be starting a fresh Adgitize payment series for this year so this post serves to kick things off; aptly named Payment 1. I did not receive email notification for last month's earning so I was unaware that I was already paid on the 7th. As always Adgitize paid on time and when I checked my PayPal today, I was happy to see my earnings safe and sound inside my account.

Due to server problems, January was a pretty chaotic month for Adgitize; members found ourselves having issues with missing article points, inability to record click points and basically logging into our accounts. However the good people at Adgitize have already taken steps to rectify the issues mentioned and points have been restored and earnings updated.

My payment for Jan 2010 is further proof that Adgitize Works and Adgitize Pays so what are you still waiting for? Become part of a network of publishers and advertisers who are enjoying both increased traffic and a little side income for Blog Page Views, Adgitize Ad Views, Writing Articles and Visiting other Member Blogs. Don't miss out on the hottest blog advertising network today and get your monthly ad in the system for only US$14 with just one click!

Last Post and I'm Finally Off!

My trip has been pushed forward a day earlier and this last-minute change is throwing everything off course from the schedule I've been working on! I am running out of time to complete all my tasks before leaving and the perfectionist in me finds that very disturbing.

I've been multi-tasking since morning and despite having taken care of our accommodation, flight details, pet hotel reservation and work, there is still the major packing and other small details to worry about. I had initially planned to be on a posting frenzy tonight, but all that's changed as well. So I'll be leaving you with my last post before my vacation and tonight, I'd like to talk about blogging and a really cool article directory I recently discovered.

Established since 2004, Articlealley is a free service that helps site or blog authors like me promote our content and sites. Currently there are over 60,000 active authors so you can imagine how huge it is. As bloggers with the ultimate dream for fame and success, we are constantly looking for ways to promote our sites and blog content to the world. That is the reason we blog; marketing ourselves through our work and our blogs right?

With Articlealley, all you have to do is simply write a good quality article on your blog, submit the article and if readers like what they read, they will want to visit your website and learn more about you and your work. You can even source for free content to include on your own site, which I thought was really interesting! I'd love to bring some interesting content to my readers here. All this is FREE by the way so you have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by visiting my latest discovery. Submit Articles today and get your voice heard by a whole new audience.

Have fun people; it's back to packing for me!

I Won At SlogBite! **

What a great way to start off my weekend this first week of April! When Mel told me I was in the running to win the Yearly Referral Award at SlogBite, I wasn't sure I'd WIN. However, I received a short email from Mel two days ago notifying me of my win, which is simply amazing!
Thanks to my lucky WIN, my lovely award will be on SlogBite's Award page permanently, and it will remain on the SB side bar for the next 9 months woo hoo!

To my readers who have yet to join in the fun and awesome traffic you will surely receive from being a SlogBite Member, you can still register to be a member. SB has just launched officially on April 2nd and since its first initial launch early this year, SB has evolved into a very fun and friendly playground for me and my blogs. I love that SB has launched its recent game Slog-a-Blog, which not only has such a cute name but is really a lot of fun too. It's a great game concept, which you simply have to try!

I have to give props to Mel, the name behind the wonder that is SlogBite. Thank you for coming up with so many cool and creative ideas for SB. What I admire most about the whole SB inception was the fact that Mel appreciated our opinions and suggestions towards building a final end product that truly reflects what we members perceive and prefer SlogBite to be. Great work Mel and congrats on your official launch!

Fancy enjoying increased exposure, traffic, readership along with a whole lot of fun and games in an increasingly influential community? Join me at SB today! Get your sites listed and don't forget to let Mel know Mariuca sent you, hurry!

Back With BE! ***

After Mad Mariuca poured out her heart and soul to Blog Explosion months ago, somebody finally responded to my ticket. Yes, the very same one that I submitted back in December last year. I know, it's ridiculous how long it took them to reply my ticket but the good news is that I am back with BE!

Firstly, allow me to give a special I'm-back hello to my BE buddies! Hola Roxy, LJ, Debbs & ECL! Did u miss me?

I was not aware that somebody new had taken over admin duties at BE and apparently he's been busy approving blogs and replying support tickets. It was only later when Jean excitedly informed me that BE has finally approved her blog, did I get wind of this new development.

Happy as I was for Jean to finally be accepted by BE, I was also automatically reminded of my own predicament, which prompted me to check on my ticket status. As expected there was no response, which didn't bother me much as I've seriously stopped hoping for a reply.

I have to thank Jean for not giving up on me though, for she sent BE an email; notifying them of my situation and the very next day I received an email from Jeff of the BE team! I was still a little ticked off that it took them so long to finally admit me back to BE but I did take some consolation in the apology he mentioned in is email. That took away some of the pain of waiting forever for them to respond. Thank you BE and of course to my BFF Jean, who was kind enough to nudge BE my way. By the way, Mariuca's Perfume Gallery has also been approved by BE so that's more good news for me!

It's been ages since I hung out at BE; I can't even remember how to upload my banner! I am however itching to get back into the swing of things over at BE, starting with a long overdue 3-digit battle tonight! It will be my very first BOTB for 2009, so do vote for me if you're up and about. Thanks guys!

PS. This is a special *** post! I am giving away linky love to the first 3 commenters instead of the usual 1, go for it!
