I have recently read up on the US News & World Report college rankings, and to what great lengths some colleges go to manipulate the results and improve their rankings. Rankings are very powerful because they are a signal of social acceptance and appear unbiased. Every important ranking system that displays results to those being ranked ends up influencing those it measures.

From a marketer's perspective the idea of the authority system influencing the network has 4 big marketing ideas contained inside it:
The Ranker is God: If you are one of the first to create a ranking system and spread it quickly then it will be hard for others to compete with you. Some of those who rank well will lend their brand credibility and reach to help push and validate your rankings.

Could you imagine wanting to get your blog indexed in a custom search engine of blogs that allow their comments links to pass PageRank? What would that do to your average comment quality, or your ability to trust commenters? Or am I just too pragmatic and cynical?

The other day I wrote post “Make Money with Design YouTube” Is Design videos and youtube the only video sharing resource? Nope!

DailyMotion is one of the most popular European video sharing website, just like youtube and Design video and if you ask me, 10 times better when it comes to search relevancy. Daily Motion has over 37 million users and 3.6 million are just from USA alone. So if you have international blog or let say you blog in French Italian language, then I would suggest to try video blogging with Daily Motion.

If you write posts in english but yet you want to get international public DailyMotion would be place to start with.

I am looking my self for three column wordpress theme, I would like to redo that theme so it would be adsense theme ready. I started to create my own theme but yet as you all know it takes time which I don’t really have much, to look into code and graphics.

That theme would be set default on this page for 3 weeks or more depends on if I like it or not.

So I am asking you my bloggers to help out finding all 3 column wordpress themes.

Just leave comment with page link, just to make sure you are not spamming my blog, since is spam protected, each comment 1 eventually 2 links.

What the @#$!@ is Linkoholic?

Everybody has own words how to describe something they blog about, and I just made mine up too.Problogger Darren Rowse call his SpeedLinking which I think it’s a good thought word on describing his way of publishing referral links.

Linkoholic is word I will use from now on this blog, for purpose of giving you information about other blogs that have caught my interest today, yesterday, week from now or overall.

Why am I doing this?

Reason I am doing this is because I realized the point of strategy behind linking to other blogs. And I think that linking to another blogs increases your traffic, comments and backlinks. Which are the most important keys to make money from blog.

VBloggers

( Video Bloggers ) are so into this and I can just say that they do have to work harder somethimes to get recognized then text bloggers. Text Bloggers like I , write on blog and have fun typing stuff, while video bloggers turn on their webcam or video recorders and start talking.

This is how both of blogger nation can make money online from video sources like YouTube , Design Video etc.

First you got to have some video editing tool most of bloggers use default ” Windows Movie Maker” . Now record your self do something what others did not do yet, talk about things that you haven’t seen on youtube yet. But before you do that make 5-10 second frame that will state something like ” If you like this video visit www.mywebsite.com” especialy if you are girl cute like I am , little bit of girly power can be used too , I am not saying you have to take your cloths off!
