Comment on Moving and Migrating from Google Blogger FTP to WordPress by REITs
OK Damian, I have it working now. I also use Go Daddy, and Justin's "all in one" code also caused my server to crash, so it looks like a Go Daddy thing. I love Go Daddy though, the service is great, and this is no reason to switch (believe it or not, I also host over at Network Solutions) As for the fix: First, I did not put the rewrite code i […]

Comment on Precious Movie Review (2009) by Tony Vahl
Man, thanks for the great review and info. I love that it could be argued that this movie is targeted at social workers and teachers who practice LaME. On a side-note: I hope to have that indexing turned around in 36 hours at the latest. Lots going on tomorrow. Moving furniture for wood floor dude Grandma hired for us (Christmas gift). […]

Thanks..I always wanted that comment follow-up plugin but always forget about it when I'm online. You'd think WordPress would have put that in their default code by now...How are you checking to see if it really redirects? Check Justin again and try to follow his steps. I think you may have got in too deep with the move and created a unique situati […]

Those "Make money with Google" advertisements…

Written by Damian Hospital on 17 June 2009

I don’t know if you’ve seen the advertisements or “news stories” this past month, but I just wanted to (carefully and legally) bring it up here-

Basically the advertisement is about a woman who has a $$$$$$$$ check from Google, and all you have to do is send her a $1 to for the “kit”.

All I have to say is that if you enjoy infomercials at 2:30AM, and love the feeling of hope that a lottery ticket brings you (until the drawing), you will love this kit.

I already read quite a few real testimonials…without endorsing these testimonials, the word “scam”, “overseas”, and “keep withdrawing from my bank account” kept coming up.

My first exposure with this current gimmick was on DrudgeReport. Now I see the ad all over the place, even on allegedly techno-communistic sites that give Java scripts away for free and other code. I clicked on one of the ads and saw how the browser checked my IP address and generated a fake newspaper webpage based on my state, trying to give me the impression that it was a legit news story.

Speaking of which….again, without listing names, if you get your “news” from certain e-mail providers, many of their articles are simply ads, like “Top 10 Laptops”.

Seems like everyone is selling, and many people are buying. At only $1 there doesn’t seem to be a risk…but…just be careful.

You can find out about Google AdSense for free straight from Google. Heck, Google even has free tutorials about making your websites Search Engine Optimized to make money using AdSense. Guess what folks? It takes TIME and effort. You don’t need to be paying for kits that promise overnight money.
