The best thing that has happened to me in the blogosphere this year was winning a 30 minute blog consultation with Adnan of blogLOUDER.com, a new service dedicated to providing blog consulting and full site reviews!

Adnan and I met on AOL IM a couple of Saturdays ago and the experience was phenomenal! I have learned where I’ve been going wrong in my blogging and what things I’ve been doing right! Adnan is extremely patient, professional and knowledgeable about the blogosphere and what to do to develop a successful blog.

I came across Ja Kel Daily Dot Com while surfing today. This site has a minimalist theme (my favorite) and an adpod. I had never seen an adpod, but it is an innovative idea that I may have to try out once I become a problogger like him! Visit this site if you are interested in making money online. The editor of Ja Kel Daily Dot Com a personal blog, is offering to link to your blog if you review his blog.

Jon Waraas dot com is another site that focuses on teaching people how to make money at home. He’s obviously pretty good at it - because at age 14/15 he started selling skateboarding rails on eBay and now he’s making enough money to afford a beautiful home at age 19/20!

I like the layout of Jon’s site and his writing style. He is laid back, yet authoritative. Think about it - he’s making more money in a day than most people will make in a week! He’s definitely doing things right, so I took the time to look at his archives and read posts that I thought were interesting.

SELaplana is a blog bout technology, entertainment and society. I did enjoy my visit and found quite a few posts that were helpful to me in my quest for monetization and learning more about what’s going on in the technology field.

Just a few of the posts that I read and found incredibly useful or interesting:

• Text Link Ads Making Money Tips
• The Controversy on the Blog of a 13-year Old Kid
• My Success in Monetizing the Blog

TheAnand has some rocking posts! The most helpful one to me is 5 ways to get FREE traffic using Web 2.0 sites. Because Anand’s advice is straightforward and he speaks from experience, I’m willing to try these 5 ways to get traffic.

The tips are pretty easy, too - and nothing that will get me banned from Google! I am definitely trying to get more traffic - and readers here at thepinkc, so any advice is greatly appreciated!

If you enjoy well designed and functional websites, definitely check out TheAnand’s Ripples.

jon lee dot see eh is a self-described ‘fun’ web development blog. l never would have thought of web development as fun, but jon lets us know that it is easy to just let our hair down and relax - and not take ourselves as seriously as web developers.

His site is well designed and attractive. Of course, I check out the sidebars of a site, looking for goodies that might work with my site or just look plain interesting. Of note is the ShowoffRankings widget, which was created by Jon.
