    Thanks, I have updated my profile accordingly. Although it would be good to be able to get more than one bad boy in the profile as I am working on a few.

    Andy_calafell - good work mate, keep it coming.

    If anybody wants to view my blog, you know where to look =] Leaving a post would be great too :)

    If you have a blog also I would gladly like to share blog links with you.

    Nice one Andy, but I think you need to learn how to post links in your posts. I've just had to copy and paste one.

    Sorry if you do know how to post links and that was a one off error.

    My first thought is to create a page on one of your blogs that contains links to all your blogs and put that in your profile.

    By the way, im not all that fussy about making money from it anymore, i dont think that it would be significant enough cash flow to warrant it.

    But, since starting this thread, posting on the blog has become rather addictive.
  • Sorry, that was a one of during while I was in a rush. My apologies.

    I will post a more in-depth analysis of Blogvertise in the near future.

    From looking round the internet,it is one of the highest payers, along with Sponsored Reviews and Pay Per Post. You can earn money through an afilliate programme but the main source of income is when they find you assignments, which means they find reviws that you must write and post on your blog.

    Good point, well put across

    Not really wanting to admit that I hadnt actually quite got around to thinking about an index page.

    Oops.

    No problem, I'm surprised the blog software didn't change it to a proper link for you.

    For the benefit of everyone reading this, Joe's tip No. 1

    If you post links in your blog make sure they are clickable, not everyone will bother to copy them and paste them into the address bar.

    Joe's tip No. 2

    If your blog post URLs are just page numbers, (they end in "?p=11" etc. or end in date posted), you should change them to post tile URLs, the search engines like this much more as it gives meaning to the URL.

    This is for Wordpress blogs, but there must be a way to do it with other blogs.

    To do this go into your control panel and choose Options > Permalinks

    then tick Custom and put /%postname%/ in the box (including the slashes and percent signs).

    Save that then take a look at the URLs for your posts.
  • geordie joe - Do you know how you go about signing up to the Digivate Blog Links programme? I have viewed the website and I can't figure out how.
    Did they only select a small amount of candidates and now they are not accepting any more?

    Thankyou.
