I had pr 4 for like 10 days and then I lost it. Not sure exactly what happened, I think that using vitalpixel as a redirect domain to blogpantsu was increasing the pr of both of the sites. Since soon after I stopped redirecting vitalpixel to blogpantsu they both lost to notches of pr. Anyways, I’m going to try using the redirect once again but with another site or two of mine.

Some pertain more heavily to webmasters, but I consider them good tools for everybody that browses the internet. Each one of these add-ons have separate uses, and can make your internet browsing experience more enjoyable, or easier than it already is.
Tab Effect: Add effects when current tab is changed…And that… is my top 10
Fireshot get’s an honorable mention, because I almost listed it.
Blogging is one of the most popular ways to get your ideas across to the general public. I use it, and there’s probably more than half of the webmaster population using a blogging platform as well. It’s a good thing though, a lot of blogs means there are a lot of good tips, information, and news that circulates around the web. Blogging is easy too, with just an update or two per day, and a little bit of help from your social networking friends, you can get your blog popular and make money with it in days.
Step 1: Traffic
I’m going to assume you already have traffic to your blog, and continue with this post. If you don’t have a steady flow of traffic coming to your blog yet, then check back next time for the Blog Traffic post, which I am due to release pretty soon.
Step 2: PPC Ads
By far the most obvious way to make money on the internet. Go and make your self a publisher account on Google Adsense to get started. You can customize your advertisements, and paste the javascript code into your page. Make sure to blend your ads in with the usual color scheme of your site, for maximum click potential. For every click, you get a certain amount of money (based on your keywords). You can also make money for getting large amounts of impressions. Don’t click your own ads, or ask your visitors to click ads!
Step 3: Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing, is simply getting someone elses product, and referring new users to it. Lot’s of sites on the internet have affiliate programs you can join. You can check out Affiliate Scout for several different sites that have affiliate programs. Sometimes affiliate programs have flat rates, like… $65 dollars per sign up. Or, they will pay you a % of the money the person you referred ends up making.
Step 4: Link Sales
If your blog has a high page rank. Which is Google’s interpretation of the value of your site. People will start getting interested in having their link on your website. The higher your page rank (pr), the more you can sell links for. The easiest way to sell links, is to join a forum like Digitalpoint or Vitalpixel Forums, and create a thread giving the details of your site, and how much you are willing to sell link-space for. Never fill up your site with too many links, and make sure to sell links monthly. Don’t offer life-time links unless you’re a directory, because you may want to take them down at some point.
Step 5: Products
If you have your own products that you’d like to sell, you probably know more about how to sell them than I do. But, the way I would go about selling my products, is to post a link to my website on a webmaster forum (in the buy/sell/trade section). Then, I would give details about what I was selling, and offer my services to those willing to pay. For Example;
I would say, Selling webmaster tip comics for $5 a piece. They would give me what they wanted the comic to be about, I would make it, give it to the buyer, and they would pay me. It’s pretty simple, and self-explanatory really.
Step 6: Blog Reviews
Once your blog starts to get a decent amount of visitors, and has a pretty good page rank, you can start selling reviews. When I start making reviews, I’m sure I’ll be using reviewme, which is the biggest name in blog reviews at the moment. You’re site will have to be reviewed by them, before being accepted into the program, but once your in you can make quite a bit of money.

Hopefully my little web comics will continue to get better as I make them. This one was basically a test to see what I could do, and how I would sprite. So anyways, diggit, a noob asks an un-amused web pro about how to get traffic. Please.. Social networking…
Many people expect any blog they comment to give them a high-pr back link. The truth is, not all blogs have DoFollow activated, and that means that the link back won’t do anything for your page rank. You can find a directory of blogs that have DoFollow enabled Here. As long as the blog you’re posting on has DoFollow enabled, your link will be tracked by google, and will help to boost your SEO ratings.
There is a mozilla firefox plugin called Searchstatus which allows you to see if a blog is ‘dofollow‘ or ‘nofollow‘. The search status plugin shows much more than just if the blog you’re reading is ‘dofollow’ or ‘nofollow’. The plugin also shows the pagerank, meta tags, link status, whois, and other stuff.
The most important feature of Search Status, is that it highlights the nofollow links in light bright pink. If the blog is DoFollow, the links won’t be highlighted.
I always leave my plugin on, because if I find any blogs that have Dofollow turned on, I can leave a comment and get a useful backlink or two. Most popular blogs have DoFollow enabled because they’ve realized the importance to other bloggers.
To Make Your Blog DoFollow:
Making your blog a DoFollow blog is probably the easiest thing you could do on your blog. All you have to do is go to semiologic and download the plugin. Once you have it downloaded you just upload it to your blog like any other and activate it from the admin control panel.
Now your links will be worth something to other bloggers! 
In case anyone was wondering, I have DoFollow enabled as well.

The Web’s most remarkable stories, determined by people like you. Stories are ranked based on your votes, emails, and searches.
Yahoo Buzz is yahoo’s new social bookmarking sort of website. Where popular articles are voted on, and publishers can get loads of burst traffic. Unfortunately the traffic possibilities of Yahoo Buzz are very similar to that off Digg. You must be on the front page to get a lot of hits, and the flow of traffic is cut short once your article leaves the front. Fortunately if you wrote a good post people would be bookmarking your blog and coming back to it later. Also, if you continue to write good posts you could be on the front page of yahoo buzz for quite a while.
The problem with yahoo buzz, is that smaller blogs don’t really have a chance to get their articles popular. Users can either vote for an article directly from the blog the article came from, or they can find the article on yahoo buzz and vote for it there. Usually this would mean that the smaller blogs would never get any of the traffic, but their is a possibility that a great article could be spotted and made popular.
Yahoo Buzz pulls in content from publisher partners across the Web.
You must be a partner with Yahoo Buzz in order to get your content pulled, but they don’t accept everybody. In fact, I gave them my email adress hoping to be invited to join, but I haven’t been yet. Maybe I won’t, do too… crappy blog posts?
Yahoo buzz also has a widget, you can put on the side of your blog. The widget contains all of the most popular articles, so users reading your blog can click some link and go to a different blog with the popular post on it. Not exactly something I would use on one of my blogs, but it’s nice if your article is currently featured on the widget.
