It’s baaaack-Mcdonalds Monopoly online is back and ready to sell the hopes and dreams of winning millions of dollars to the United States proletariat. Yup, a billion dollar corporation is ready to hand out money if you get the right pieces playing Mcdonalds Monopoly online, so you had better rush to your nearest fast food chain and buy some extra Happy Meals so you can play Mcdonalds Monopoly online every day. Oh, are my words laced with sarcasm? Do you think I am a snob that I am not standing next to you playing the lottery at the gas station? I’m sorry.

Funny side-note regarding playing the Mcdonalds Monopoly online game- a couple of years ago my buddy and co-worker DT was having web browser problems while trying to play Mcdonalds Monopoly online. He got so frustrated. He was a great game piece collector. I am not smirking here, by the way. I’m not. I know DT occasionally reads this. I’m just sayin’. I’m just sayin’ that you had better make sure your browser works. Stay away from Google Chrome if you want to play Mcdonalds Monopoly online. Firefox- be afraid. Granted I haven’t tested them, but I have a bad feeling about them. Of course if you are one of the true proletariat, you don’t even known what Google Chrome is.
Continuing my stream of consciousness Mcdonalds Monopoly online game editorial: do you know proletarians kill each other on the urban streets of Detroit and the Bronx for game tickets? I’m glad Mcdonalds Monopoly online exists on the internet now, come to think of it. I mean if you actually have the game winning pieces in a bad neighborhood franchise restaurant, you gonna get yo @$$ capped!

Did you remember to file your florida unemployment claim today? I bet you had trouble logging in to register your Florida unemployment claim weeks. I wonder if you will get your Florida unemployment compensation on time now. You know what I hate? I hate when fluidnow is down. I mean, what kind of website only operates during the DAY? And now the whole site is down so I can’t even go to fluidnow.com and claim weeks. You know why? Florida’s unemployment server can’t handle all of the requests from out of work people. And you want President Obama to make the government bigger? Now we can’t even get our unemployment checks! I’m getting this error message:

Well guess what folks, what if I told you that you can MAKE MONEY ONLINE FROM HOME and BE YOUR OWN BOSS? You think I’m scamming but I’m not. You can learn how to be a big time- and FULL TIME- Internet marketer from home and MAKE money by writing articles. Now, you can write an E-MAIL, right? Can you type a TEXT message? Then you have the basic skills to work from home and become a full time Internet Marketer.

Okay, so you set up a great website that is SEO certified. You have managed a blog for two years. You even dabbled in Google AdWords. So why don’t you get any traffic and clicks for your banner ads, blog advertising, affiliate marketing, selling your own product, or just getting some plain old readers to actually read your posts and make you feel good?
When I first began my journey as a webmaster in 2001 I was very disappointed that the original DailySkew site only got 0-2 hits at first before becoming a cyberspace superpower. It’s a shame, really, because back then search engines were ripe to ravage like a freshly showered virgin.
Web 2.0 is all about socializing online and, in effect people volunteer via pack mentality-like crowdsourcing to share cool articles, videos, music via links and word of mouth. Everybody does free promotion in one way or the other without even realizing it.
Social bookmarking sites are extremely popular, with millions of daily visitors. These sites are great ways to capitalize on this word of mouth by submitting links to them AND enabling your readers to easily submit to them. It’s one of the reasons I made the WordPress jump on my other blogs- you can easily install social bookmarking buttons in every one of your posts. Blogger.com software? Groan.
Anyway, I spent all day submitting articles from various sources into popular social bookmarking sites.
Delicious: Delicious was time-consuming to enter in around 100 articles because I had to manually enter keyword tags, title, and notes. However it was worth it- I got on Delicious’ front page and am still getting tons of hits on a NEW blog that hasn’t even been fully crawled yet. Also, Delicious does not discriminate- they take any link you submit. Delicious was easy to sign up, and if you use Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, you can add articles via a Delicious toolbar add-on. Google Chrome users (like myself) are out of luck when it comes to toolbars. Delicious is linked to Twitter so you can tweet when you submit.
Digg- I dig Digg. It’s connected to Facebook so you can 1) Use your FB login instead of signing up from scratch and 2) Keep your FB friends informed about whatever you submitted. In effect your article will get visibility on both sites, especially if you can have open profile on Facebook. When you consider Facebook has a search engine that competes with Google, this gives you the best of both worlds. Digg will auto generate the article title and description if the article had metatags written well, which saves a lot of time. It’s also linked to Twitter, so if you have a lot of followers you can capitalize on this.
Digg has toolbars that you can install to IE and Firefox, although I didn’t test that. Digg is unique in that it has a voting system, so if different people submit the same article it gets votes and pushed to the first page. Obviously this takes a LOT of time although I somehow got Digg hits today.
StumbleUpon: In truth social bookmarking is a roll of the dice- you can submit thousands of articles and only see a moderate increase in traffic. Conversely, you can submit one article and get 15,000 hits in one day. There is no better example than StumbleUpon. It seems totally random- and it is. You submit a webpage, choose a category, and it automatically becomes available for StumbleUpon users to…stumble upon it when they click “Stumble” in their Firefox or IE toolbar.
I actually have been using this tool for a couple of years. Some articles get “hot” and a bunch of traffic, and others never get seen. In terms of downloading and installing the toolbar, it is not intuitive on their site- I always wind up just typing “install stumbleupon toolbar” in Google and get the Firefox Add-on. There were glitches all day when I was submitting sites- I got the white screen of death in Firefox and I was never able to bookmark all of my 100 articles. A final word: there is no filtering- you can submit any webpage.
Stumble this blog.
Mixx: Like Digg, Mixx is linked to Facebook and Twitter, but you can also log in with any Open ID like Yahoo. Mixx has a recommend ranking. There is a toolbar, but it looked spammy since it has a partnership with MashLogic. I have some issues with Mixx- they reject certain URLs for no reason, such as Blogspot. They also block EZineArticles and GoArticles, two major magazine article sites, which is a major bummer to bum marketing. Additionally, Mixx rejects URLs with certain keywords in the URL, even if it’s on Squidoo. Lame. On the plus side, Mixx is very popular. So far results have been nonexistent for the first day, although I know that these things usually take 5-10 days to show light activity especially if you use a free ping service like I do.
Shoutwire!: I got banned from Shoutwire because their site slowed down and it looked like I submitted an article dozens of times; they thought I was a robot and they banned my IP address and account. That’s a shame, since the site looked like it wasn’t just fluff, i.e. they had real editorials.
IN CONCLUSION: These social bookmarking sites DON’T HURT you. The key is to submit RELEVANT content that people will read and rate. If you are selling Viagra from Russia, you just don’t understand what real internet marketing is about. If you haven’t submitted your blog posts or webpages into these sites, it will take you a few days or a week to backtrack depending on how many posts you have. Your best bet is to submit any new post you write on the Net to these 5 social bookmarking websites.
You will be investing time with no guarantee of real reward, but you are certain to generate some influx of new traffic over time. It’s a way to reach out to new readers with no money down, so if you have time to spare, do it. Just don’t expect 10,000 hits right after you do it. You think I’m joking but I know a lot of people in real life who expect instant results. My rule of thumb is that anything you do consistently do to generate traffic takes 1-3 months.
If you don’t want to spend the time to submit your articles, yet still want to complain about not getting hits, go ahead and spend $200 a month on Google AdWords and let me know how that goes.
And a final note- I haven’t discussed other ways to get articles and sites crawled or how to ping. So it is likely even if you submit you will not get the traffic that will satisfy you. Nor have I discussed the proper way to write an article so it becomes search engine optimized. You can
join me at Wealthy Affiliate to learn all about free article marketing, email marketing, pay per click (PPC) with good Google AdWords, full SEO courses, webhosting, and web development with no HTML skills needed for more info. See you there- my user name is

How to make money with Clickbank and other affiliate sites are questions that have eluded me for some time before I found out about Wealthy Affiliate.
Wealthy Affiliate is not a scam- it is a private online marketing course that offers the most up-to-date Internet marketing techniques and provides insight into affiliate programs, marketing strategies, and SEO techniques that are used to make money online.
Let us cover Clickbank in this post. Clickbank is the top affiliate links site where you promote digital products. It is a also a great website to sell your own digital PDFs or music. Whether you want to generate $1 a day, $10 a day, $100 per day or $1000 per day, the first step is to set short term and long term goals for yourself.
You must research a product genre and then select a niche product to advertise. Wealthy Affiliate has the keyword tools, niche keywords, and quick ways to perform online market research. If you are thinking about signing up with Clickbank without guidance you will be wasting your time (and if you bought Google AdWords, you will be losing money). People get over their heads before they have an understanding of how they are going to make money online.
Wealthy Affiliate has training courses, Clickbank tools, keyword lists, good AdWords, and everything is in one place for you for researching industries, products, competitors, advertising costs, and opportunities before you start any paid advertising campaign.
One reason why I enjoy Wealthy Affiliate is because they have free article writing tools (Bum Marketing) in addition to the paid per click (PPC) campaigns.
Most people I know don’t like to blog or submit articles to E-Zines. So if you are promoting products through PPC like Google Adwords or Yahoo! Marketing, you will need to make sure that the affiliate program will pay high enough to make it profitable. You typically want to stick to programs that pay over $15/commission. WealthyAffiliate has products that they have tested so you don’t have to lose money testing from scratch.
Wealthy Affiliate provides online internet marketing courses and tools in:
Internet marketing statistics
Internet marketing for online businesses
PPC search engine web marketing
Cheap email marketing
Free Internet hosting
Search engine placement marketing
You should be interesting in Wealthy Affiliate University if you are:
- College Students looking to make money while going to school
- Retired Individuals looking to supplement their social security checks
- Middle Class tired of being tired
- Retired Veterans who can get paid while writing about a hobby
- Disabled Individuals who can work from their computer
- Upper Class who has serious cash to spend on Google AdWords and domain names
- Laid Off Individuals who realize unemployment compensation is not enough
- People who need to pay medical bills
- Workers frustrated with low salary
- Those who have tried to make money using Affiliate Network (CJ, Clickbank, Linkshare, Shareasale, Kowabunga, etc) but have never made anything yet
I am a member at Wealthy Affiliate and I would not have experienced the same amount of success without the resources WA provides, or the assistance that many of the fellow members at Wealthy Affiliate have given me. My forum ID is
HospitalD if you do decide to sign-up and make money online with me. You can use this special link to
download BEATING AdWORDS for free- the famous eBook-a $67 value when you become a member of WA.

Making money online is easy? “Work at home jobs” and “make money online” have been terms that have been around for a long time but are met with a lot of skepticism. Most of the doubt has been justified due to money making scams and get rich quick frauds. Other people have become disillusioned due to the sheer amount of information out there, and nowhere to focus.
“You are one click away from changing your lifestyle”
For those who know me in “real life” you realize that I like to pass on knowledge about methods that can benefit all of us. Believe it or not affiliate marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), e-mail marketing, pay per click (PPC) campaigns, blogging, article writing, and website design are not hard- it just takes an investment of time of your part and practice. Thankfully, Wealthy Affiliate University is not a scam site- WA has online lessons, tutorials, guides, step-by-step instructions, tools and research, and an active online community. Think this is a sales copy? Check out the real Wealthy Affiliate testimonials. I know they’re real because I’ve been watching and chatting with these guys on the forums.
With the world’s economy marred in a recession, do you know which industry is still going strong? I can tell you from first hand experience that advertising and online sales are still booming: I personally know a successful local business that provides SEO services and website design. They have a staff of around ten, and are very profitable, more than I can say for some other local Florida small businesses.
If you can read, type, and grasp concepts you can make money online by selling other people’s products. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that despite the recession and traditional in-store retail sales being down online retail sales (eCommerce) are still growing at a strong pace- the future is here, folks. You can try to deny the stats, and say it’s not logical, but deep down you know it’s true- people are spending money online and now every business must advertise online. Folks, I am not talking about spam, either. I am talking about real professional legit online marketing and affiliate marketing that benefits all parties.
Personal story: I got laid off July 26th, 2009 after dedicating my focus, mind, and soul to a small business for the last 11 years. Dozens of my friends got the pink slip before I did. The day I received my final check I signed up with Wealthy Affiliate University and started taking their online marketing courses for one reason and one reason only: I will never go on another job interview again. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. You see I am a cheap guy when it comes to spending money on things that sound too good to be true. But I did it, and it has paid off.
“WA’s coursework is written for total newbies and advanced students alike”
Now I understand that not everyone is a natural writer or blogger. Some people are ultra-sensitive when it comes to blogging or writing articles or have a lack of confidence. Others truly don’t have superior writing skills and don’t want to consider how to make money online. Perhaps you’re afraid of setting up websites. Heck, I can list 100 reasons why you don’t want to sign up with Wealthy Affiliate to try to learn internet marketing. But the bottom line is that you should give it a chance. You can try the Wealthy Affiliate 7-day trial or you can sign up for a month and see if it’s for you. You will be surprised how all of these skills can be learned.
If you are someone who has spent money and downloaded PDFs about Google AdWords, Google AdSense, How to Make Money on eBay, or How to Make Money Online- stop doing that and join Wealthy Affiliate right now.
“Stop working for ‘The Man’! STEP ONE: CLICK HERE“
A close friend of mine always downloaded Get Rich Quick eBooks and asked me to interpret the methods and he’ll buy hosting plans and throw money away on Google AdWords because he didn’t have Wealthy Affiliate’s Google AdWords tools and techniques that could have shown him how to set all of that up. I finally introduced him to WA and everything finally makes sense to him now and he can systematically make money online without being pulled into one million different directions.
“Also included: Vegas Confidential- step into the mind of 5 WA gurus”
If you are unemployed or tired of your job, or perhaps you can multi-task during work or devote some time to writing after work, Wealthy Affiliate is for you. Unlike other sites and online scams, Wealthy Affiliate does not make any outrageous claims. WA is an online toolbox with everything you need to make money online.
Is Wealthy Affiliate a MLM scam? No, it is not a multi-level marketing scheme, however if you apply everything that you learn from WA, you can make tons of money by referring new members using your affiliate marketing techniques. In other words, you can wipe out the monthly fee just by referring a couple of people to WA every month.
What else do you get with Wealthy Affiliate besides marketing school and training?

- Clickbank- From Clickbank cloaking tools to hot Clickbank products, there is so much here for you to optimize your Clickbank campaigns
- Wealthy Affiliate Super Affiliate Program- Loaded with bonuses and incentives, you can make a mint referring members to WA.
- Sell your own product- Once you create bunch of affiliate links or write blog advertising ads, you may think to yourself “How do these guys have the money to do all of this? Can I sell my own product, too?” Yup.
- Promote your company or personal website- Once you get a Wealthy Affiliate education, marvel as your websites rise in the search engines to Page 1.
- Site Rubix- Create landing pages, squeeze pages, and webpages with no HTML experience.
- And more- Yes, I’m not exaggerating, but WA has many more features. Your life will never be the same, and that’s a good thing. Don’t have money to invest in a Google AdWords campaign? That’s fine. Travis’ Bum Marketing Method is for people with no cash to spend- and it works!
If you still are on the fence, let me give you an added incentive with a special offer: if you sign up right now using this link you will get the famous Beating AdWords eBook (a $67 value) for FREE.
