Jude’s Eclectic Resources

It’s so good to be home. I love going away, but being in your own home among your own things is great. I am so behind on everything since I wasn’t near a computer for over a week. I see that Entrecard is making some changes so it should be interesting to see how things shape up. I appreciate the visits while I was away.

I took along a notebook to jot down ideas while I was away, but didn’t write down one thing except my gas mileage which wasn’t too bad all things considered. We averaged about 22 miles per gallon and for our jeep that was great. I seem to be brain dead at this point in time and can’t think of one thing to actually post about so this will be very short today.

I will be away next week so since you wont see my widget in your Entrecard inbox I know there will be very few visitors from that source and really it’s okay because I know how that works and it doesn’t bother me because leaving town for a week is more important than anything else right now. I do wish to thank everyone for their visits in the past though. Since I wont be near a computer I wont update until I get back.

Has anyone had a problem trying to edit and update any information about their blog? I simply can’t update anything at Entrecard right now and it wont even let me change my tag line, very frustrating. There seems to be many changes underway and hopefully some of them are going to be good ones. I really think the program is a great idea and I hope it continues, but the last few partnerships were rather dismal.

It’s great that the owner tries to find new ways to help everyone and I can’t say anything bad about one of the best free programs out there for getting traffic. Some people get very frustrated because of bounce rate and they’re irritated because they try to write something to get a response and I’m sure they feel unappreciated because I always see different posts written about all of the drop and runs.

Bloggers are always telling us how they drop and I’m quite sure I’ve even mentioned my method, but you have to decide what’s best for you and your blog and you can’t expect everyone who visits your blog to comment. You might think you’ve written a masterpiece, but not everyone will be interested. If you’re lucky and you write something interesting then you will naturally pick up a few readers and commenter’s.

Everyone wants reciprocated drops and comments, but it doesn’t always happen. I like to drop on different categories because I never know when I might find something that will interest me, but blogs that post about politics and sports are not likely to comment on this blog nor will I theirs because I’m not knowledgeable enough about either even though I return their drops and they mine, my blog just wouldn’t interest them.

Okay enough from me I need some sleep, happy blogging. 

I have some of the weirdest incoming links from sites I have never heard of and when I go to check they make absolutely no sense however I did recognize one and that was from Lea at Ocean Of Perspectives and she is so kind she wants me to have this award and so for her I will accept it because I know she genuinely does care and she was kind enough to give my other 2 blogs the same award twice for one of them so dear lady that she is must really love that one. (joke Lea)

I always appreciate your thoughtfulness and support whenever you leave a comment and I also love your blog and I love reading your posts although I don’t comment on each one, just know that I do read them. You have a unique blog and it’s well worth anyone’s time to visit and I highly recommend anyone and everyone to take the time to visit Lea. You could also say a little prayer or big one for the hardship she is experiencing at this time of her life. My prayers are always with you Lea.

I’m not sure if everyone reads their e-mail from the Entrecard blog and if you don’t I would suggest that you pay a visit to their blog because they have just updated the quality standards. I have a few listed below, but you’ll have to visit the blog to read the rest. As you can see below no automatic music can play nor those auto play ads, now that one I really like as I’m sure everyone else will also.

1. No full-screen ads: Blogs that include a “Skip This Ad” popup or other full-screen ads will be removed.
2. Content must be original: Unoriginal content provides no value to the reader. A site that consists only of posts from “free article” sites, copies of articles from news sites, stolen or scraped content is not allowed.
3. No autoplaying audio: This includes music that plays automatically when you visit the page, or short audio ads that come up unannounced.

Everyone needs to pay particular attention to this one:
A2. Sites that only consist of paid posts, product review, affiliate links, or general spam. Basically, sites that only exist to make money without providing any useful content. Note: This does not mean that Make Money Online blogs are not allowed. It just means that the blog must have some valuable content and not be entirely made up of paid posts.

As many bloggers have already been swept out of the Izea programs for not meeting their quality standards it looks like the same thing could be happening with Entrecard. Entrecard is such a great source of traffic that it would be a pity to have to find another program to try and equal it. So I encourage you to go read all of their guidelines and make sure your blog is up to their standards.

I noticed many of the blogs in my inbox had been deleted and they tell you on the blog that they wont even give you a warning so I doubt if these people even know it yet or they might by now. They shouldn’t be in my inbox tomorrow because if they don’t exist then they can’t drop. You can bet that many blogs will be turned in and deleted over the next few days so I wish the best for everyone.

I told you about the ListBuilding Club last night and wanted to share an e-mail I received today which sounds very encouraging on my new path to riches. Of course I can’t give any details about anything like the call or what I hear because those rights belong especially to the creator. It didn’t say that I couldn’t share the e-mail though. I guess I’ll find out how ambitious I really am.

I have been on Shawn Casey’s list for years, but I guess I never really applied my self like Tellman has. Well, of course I haven’t if I had the knowledge I would have used it by now and made just as much money or maybe not. I’ll decide if I’m cut out to be an entrepreneur after this and if not then I wont be joining any more programs. I know you need to have a lot of drive and willingness to do what it takes and maybe I was right when I said that I’m just a lousy marketer.

I know that sounds like I’m sabotaging myself before I even get started, but over the years I have become a sceptic and more cautious when dealing with any online programs and I think that is a good thing, but at least I can try it for 30 days free before I jump into anything. At any rate the e-mail is below and usually if something is sensitive it will state that the content can’t be shared so if I’m asked to remove it I will. Have a great day everyone.

Hey Jude

Here’s your confirmation about today’s
teleseminar with my friends and buddies,
Mike Filsaime and Shawn Casey…

Two bona-fide internet millionaires!

Don’t forget that today, you’re going to
get the inside scoop on Mike’s awesome
new software; the same software that let
him rake in 1 million bucks in one year
on complete autopilot!

Don’t forget to set your alarm so you
don’t miss this call today. It could easily
be the time where you look back and
remember how hearing Mike, Shawn
and Me today was the beginning of
your new life as a true internet
millionaire yourself!

I would not have clued you in on what
Mike is up to if I didn’t KNOW that his
software is legitimate, and what he has to
share with you can literally change your
life like nothing else I’ve run across.

(basically, his software does something
I do every day that gives me thousands
of hungry customers… but with his
magic code, you don’t have to lift
a finger…)

So, with all that said, here’s the details of
today’s call…
