I recently joined SocialSpark, a site that will give us bloggers the opportunity to earn some side income. Word of mouth marketing, social media and conversational marketing through an online advertising service. That is what SocialSpark is all about.
Before joining, I asked my blogger friends about it. They are highly recommending it because through SocialSpark, they have met great bloggers, they were able to meet potential blog advertisers/sponsors and they are earning some much needed extra income from it.
When I started blogging some four years ago, all I wanted to do was to make an online diary where I can rave and rant all I want. Along the way, I met other bloggers and became friends with them. I became aware of so many things that can be done with my blog and one of those things was to make money through it. And you know what, I did made some already and have used it to finance some household expenses.
I know that with SocialSpark, I can earn more and get to meet more bloggers. I have also seen some great blogs by browsing other blogs. I already received two props and will be giving some to my favorite bloggers in the system. You can check out my SocialSpark profile if you want. So far, I like everything I see in the system.
Go and join SocialSpark now and get to meet bloggers and advertisers alike. See you there!

Kineda.com has a tool that will let you determine what type of blogger you are.
The Technorati widget she created computes your Bloglebrity status based on four influential groupings.
I checked mine. Here’s the result…
With 533 links in the last 180 days, Technorati places http://sasha-says.com in the very high authority group.
That makes you a A-List Blogger!
Yey!
The Very High Authority Group [A-List Bloggers]
(500 or more blogs linking in the last 6 months)
In the final group we see what might be considered the blogging elite. This group, which represents more than 4,000 blogs, exhibits a radical shift in post frequency as well as blog age. Bloggers of this type have been at it longer – a year and a half on average – and post nearly twice a day, an increase in posting volume of over 100% from the previous group. Many of the blogs in this category, in fact, are about as old as Technorati and we’ve grown up together. Some of these are full-fledge professional enterprises that post many, many times per day and behave increasingly like our friends in the mainstream media. As has been widely reported, the impact of these bloggers on our cultures and democracies is increasingly dramatic.
Want to know which group you belong to?
You can go to this link to check it. Let me know, okay? 
You can also go to Janette Toral’s Philippines Bloglebrity A-List and B-List Bloggers compilation and have your blog included.
Happy weekend!

An explosion happened in one of the wings of the Batasan Pambansa Complex this evening. A couple of congressmen and their staff are injured. When I watched the News Central a while ago, they said that one of the injured congressmen died.
What is happening? It seems that bombing is happening everywhere these days.
Let’s all pray that this evil menace in the country stops.
Be safe everyone.

When you are short in funds and payday is still a few days away, what are your options? Well, there are several options that you can choose from. You can apply for a personal loan. This type of loan is normally dependent on one’s range of salary. There is no collateral needed for this loan but it usually takes time before it gets approved because of the credit investigation done on the applicant.
Or you can ask for a relative or friend to lend you some money. Relatives and friends don’t charge you any interest out of kinship but of course, in borrowing money from them, you open yourself to criticism. You are lucky if you find a genuine relative or friend who will help you unconditionally.
Payday Loans can be another option for you. This type of loan is quick and easy to get. No need for credit checks and loans range from $100 to $1,500. Payment is on the next payday, thus the name. I must say that this is the best option for you because of the following:
- loan can be obtained in as little as 24 hours
- all credit levels welcome, as I’ve said, no credit checks done
- no ugly paperwork – submit online in seconds, that is why its called No Fax Payday Loans
- completely confidential and secure
- FREE quotes – no obligation, no strings unlike when you ask for a loan from relatives or friends
I suggest that if you need a quick help when short in funds, apply for Faxless Payday Loans. And where do you find sites that you can get payday loans?
Visit PaydayLoanQuotes.com, a payday loan matching site. They can help you find the best site where you can find what you need. You can use their Loan Calculator to help you compute for finance charges.
Go visit them now and know more about how they can help you financially. And hey, you can easily apply by phone. All you need to do is call 1-888-615-4346.

Atty. Rene Sagisag and his wife were involved in a vehicular accident this morning. His wife died while Atty. Sagisag is critically wounded. I just learned of this news right now.
Am I the only one who thinks that this might not be an accident???

I often forget the endless blessings that come from Him. Di ba nga they said that if you pray, why worry? But of course, easier said than done especially with my position.
I must admit that the recent Google slap that happened across the 4 corners of the www hit me hard. I monetize my blogs, you see, and getting a -2 on my pageranks was really a big blow to me. I earn a lot with my akoni site (Ate Ghee, pramis pag-uwi mo talaga sa WB tayo, u know*wink*… sagot ko! hahahah) that was a PR4 before and after the Google slap, it went down to PR2. Same with my blogspot site than went down 1 PR. I worried a lot that I might not earn as much as before.
I forgot that I am praying nga pala. And so many people are praying for me including my lovable monk kuya Dom Lawrence. Binatukan ako ni Lord kanina lang, just a few minutes ago kasi ang arte ko raw! Hehehe… I received a notification from Sponsored Reviews about an offer for this site…
*Click nyo na lang yung pic para makita nyo how much ang offer sa akin hehehehe…
I was laughing but teary-eyed at the same time. Sobra mambatok si Lord ano? Hehehe…
I forgot that around 2nd month of this blog, I started earning big bucks from this one na. Even without a pagerank pa. Bonus na lang that I got a PR2 for this one already. I kept on focusing on my other blogs and the negative things that happened instead of focusing my energy more on this one and the positive things that I gained ever since I started monetizing my blogs.
You’re probably wondering why I am so keen, and obviously, addicted to making money online? Well, I plan to buy a car by December. Kaya ba ng kita ko? Hmm… we’ll see. So far I have bought a lot already from my income. A sofa set, antique mirror, a TV rack, some closets, a bed for my dad, a crib for Hazel, new mattresses for us, 6 cellphones for the whole family, digicam, and not to mention countless shoppings done since I received my first batch of payments. Doesn’t sound like much for some people but believe me, I will never earn this much from my 8-5 job.
Anyway, my point is, I need not worry because I know He will provide. And another thing, I should tell you, my friends, that I seldom visit your blogs because aside from being busy making money, I am still having problems with my internet connection. It’s a long story but to make it short, PLDT refuses to grant me a DSL line because of my neighbors, Bayantel is slower than a turtle, Globe does not cover our area and there is nothing else for me to do but wait until either PLDT listens to my appeals or Bayantel finally gets its act together. For now, tiyaga muna sa connection ko talaga. And hingi na rin ako ng pasensya sa inyo kasi nga bihira na ako makadalaw.
I will make another post for some link love for those people who kept on visiting me kahit pa di ako masyadong makadalaw sa kanila
Always remember…
When God closes a door, He opens a window.
Happy Wednesday to everyone! Mwah!

I think a lot of you have noticed a significant drop in your Google page ranks in the past few days. Two of my blogs have received a drop: Sasha@Akoni dropped to a PR2 from a PR4 while my Bookmarks dropped from a PR3 to a PR2.
When I noticed this, I thought I did some monumental blunder somewhere. I tried to recall whatever I did to my site and came up with nothing. So I assumed that it was all about traffic. The blogs were not getting enough of it.
But I was wrong! When I checked out the traffic for both sites, both were pretty good.
And then a friend told me yesterday about the news on Google penalizing paid links. Apparently, Google is on a trackdown on blogs getting paid to post links of advertisers. A lot of people who are into get paid to blog programs got a significant drop in their page ranking and it pissed a lot of them. I checked some bloggers linked to me and yes, their page ranks dropped as well. Most drops are two ranks like my akoni site.
I, myself, am not happy about this. A friend told me that Google is just making sure people get quality content when they go searching for something. I say Google is pissed because instead of advertising through their Adsense, advertisers now flock to bloggers to do their advertising for them!
I was just wondering why they think they are internet gods that we should all follow. Can someone explain this to me?

Friday morning I was not feeling well. Nahihilo and masakit ang sikmura. I opted to go home around lunch time because I want to go to sleep. Nung nasa baba na ako ng building namin, naisip kong dumaan muna sa Glorietta para maglakad-lakad muna at baka sakaling mawala yung kakaibang nararamdaman ko. So I asked the taxi driver to take me to Glorietta. But when we’re already in Paseo de Roxas, I changed my mind.
And thank God I did. Had I not changed my mind, I would be in Glorietta as well when the bombing of Glorietta 2 happened.
I just woke up around 4pm Friday when I heard the news from my family. Believe me, ganon pala ang pakiramdam ng tunay na relief, nakakapanlambot.
We watched the news and it was really sad to see what some evil people can do. 9 confirmed dead and so many injured. Di man lang inisip nung gumawa na kung government ang target niya kapuwa naman niya civilian ang naperwisyo niya!
Let’s all pray for the victims of this Glorietta bombing. Let’s also pray that this won’t happen again.

I am an accountant, a CPA. I'd been working for 10 years as a corporate rat when I decided to quit. I am now working at home as a consultant and full time blogger.
