Want to know how this guy makes $120,000 per year mainly from Google ads? Or find out about the woman who makes almost $90,000 annually from mostly Google ads -- $30,000 of that all from Google during December 2006 alone? And the man who makes $25,000 per year (equal to his retirement pay) from Google ads? Read about the Gray Googlers ...

Google penalizing the PaulaMooney.blogspot.com URL (for whatever unknown reason), has compelled me to build up the PaulaNealMooney.com URL I've owned for several months now. So I've switched PaulaNealMooney.com from redirecting to this blog, and loaded up WordPress on it, and have started blogging separately over there. Since PaulaNealMooney.com has been linked to and is already being crawled regularly by Google, I figured I might as well build that puppy up and SEO that mug -- since most of my SEO efforts on this penalized blog are for naught. I'm not ditching the paulamooney.blogspot.com URL -- it still has a great Alexa rank and PR of 3 from Google, so it's still good for blogging tips and paid postings -- but not SEO'd posts. The "big Googe" ranks them too low in the SERPs. The PaulaNealMooney.com will be a hodgepodge of stuff like my complete infatuation with the song "Fence Riders" by Jimmy Needham I heard last night and keep playing over ...

A noose around a statue of Tupac has caused uproar in Stone Mountain, and a man has reportedly been arrested for hanging the noose around the Tupac statue. I pray this ridiculous noose-hanging trend (around Tupac's statue, on teacher's doorknobs, around trees in Jena ends.)

Google drops PageRanks again! My pagerank already went from a 5 to a 4, now it's a 3 -- but Google already penalized this site so that I no longer rank for "Paula Mooney" or "blogger salaries" or other stuff. Oh well, it just gives me more time and inclination to reposition myself and focus on my other websites. But it turns out I'm far from alone in Google's latest PageRank dropping nightmare. Maybe it's not really about paid links at all -- or more precisely, maybe it ALL about paid links and text-link-ads and PPP and more. Maybe Google thought they gave too much power to sites with higher PRs, and all the advertising revenue that garners them, so this might be a day of equalizing. How'd I Find Out About Google's Latest PageRank Drop? Daniel over at Daily Blog Tips wrote another great post about all these major sites that Google has dropped their PageRanks again (I told him he could add John Chow to his list, who has dropped from PR 6 to ...

Everyone's all buzzed-up about the I Am Legend 2 movie trailer that's hit the net overnight. (Just click the Will Smith pic to view it.) And what an amazing movie "I Am Legend" appears to be. Just imagine being the last person on earth -- or at least thinking you are the last person on earth, and dealing with your grief and fear and horniness without killing yourself. The release date of "I Am Legend" is December 14th, so that means the "I Am Legend" DVD will probably emerge around mid-Spring 2008 or so, maybe earlier or later. And just imagine if you could watch that movie in a comfy viewing room with home theater seating and surround-sound and such. How awesome would that be? Of course, it'd be fun with friends and food around. Guys especially like that sort of stuff. The noise that makes you believe you're actually experiencing the crazy, daring adventures the people in the movie are going thru. Those chairs remind me of Joey and Chandl...

I was amazed to read this article about the TV links UK website that has been shut down , and its owner arrested. ( Mahalo also has TV links UK 2007 down and website owner arrested news. ) Thank GOD above for warning me to not link to TV links UK before they even shut down , because I figured what he was doing was probably not legal. TV links UK being shut down will be a good warning to people who run the illegal websites, and hopefully a wake up call to movie studios and TV people to offer their stuff online so that people can pay for them legitimately.

"Field Negro" Attorney Wayne Bennett has made the LA Times ! Well blow me over with a bushel of cotton. (All respect to folks like my Daddy Elmer (late grandfather) and GranRuby (late grandmother) who actually worked those fields from "cain't see to cain't see" (before dawn till after dawn) -- and women like my grandmother who actually went into labor with one of her four kids in those fields, its soil richly tilled by their rugged hands -- labor that blest me with a college education at the HBCU Florida A & M University decades later...) Thanks to GetReligion.org for hipping me to the Field Negro LA Times piece , who points out an interesting take on Wayne Bennett's viewpoint, leading me to ask myself: Does the self-described Field Negro thinketh me a field negro, too? A patio negro? Or the much-derided house negro? It matters not. I know in Whose vineyard I toil ... And you know I'm praying in Jesus' Name alone for a serious Damascus Road ...

...or at least I'm hoping Starbucks health insurance benefits will be a hot search item after just watching today's Oprah. There was a couple deep in debt, and Suze Orman prescribed the woman get a job at Starbucks , because Orman said that Starbucks' health insurance benefits are available to even part-time employees who work at least 90 days at the coffee giant. In this article with Starbucks' CEO about their health insurance benefits , it states: "Starbucks provides health insurance for all employees working 20 hours a week and up. " But Starbucks' employees speak here of having a hard time getting 20 hours per week to get their health benefits, in some instances. Either way, any company that pays its employees full health benefits for part-time status is good in my book. Now, about that Black Gold movie...

The Fried Coke recipe balls have been revealed here . (Is that the official recipe?) I wrote about searching for the Fried Coke recipe balls (that's another version) nearly a year ago, and now today Fried Coke is all the rage again for some reason. As if we haven't battered and deep-fried enough stuff under the sun, now comes deep Fried coke . But how on earth do you deep fry a liquid? Turns out you don't, according an original article published in 2006 that only alluded to the deep fried Coke recipe without giving too many particulars, calling them "gooey Coke-battered nuggets topped with cola syrup." Now the deep fried phenomenon has spread and Yahoo is abuzz with searches for "deep fried coke recipe" or just plain ol' "deep fried coke." Read more about Fried Coke balls here...

Working With You is Killing Me: Freeing Yourself from Emotional Traps at Work I guess this is the best part of being an isolated blogger -- at least for a couple of hours out of each day. I don't have to buy books like this new one by Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster, titled Working With You is Killing Me: Freeing Yourself from Emotional Traps at Work to help me deal with some annoying coworker that gets on my nerves that I can't escape, like the high-pitched voiced, rotund woman on Office Space that answered her phone extremely happily every few seconds. But I do remember what it was like back in gray cube land, dealing with a few folks who got on my nerves. During days when I wasn't the one getting on other folks' nerves, I pretty much treated every one equally. 'cept the red-faced guy with the Napolean complex who wanted to rule us all. Or the witchy woman who was rough around the edges. Or the...Never mind! Just read an excerpt here... It looks fantastic. ...

by Paula Neal Mooney Blog or workout. That was my choice this morning, a Thursday. I'd just hit the health club on Tuesday, so it's not like it's been forever since I worked out -- but after watching Oprah talk about her sluggish thyroid and that New-Agey but wonderful author Dr. Christine Northrup talk about how important it is for us giving-it-all-to-our-families-women to exercise, I thought about being a gym rat today. But alas, all my website children were calling me louder than the treadmill today. I could feel the Bill Cosby's appearance on Oprah story needing tending. There was more time and desire to update my blog in these wee mid-morning hours, and chat with a workout buddy on the phone. Tomorrow is a different story. My flab-threatening deltoids will get more attention than the blogs. I've promised myself I will hit a store or website and buy some great Sporting goods and workout gear that compels me to get back on a stairmaster or the weight room till...

CHECK OUT HOW MUCH MONEY BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE! by Paula Neal Mooney My blog's money-making-money-makers are better this month at a total of $1,111.04 -- thank You, Father -- than the previous month's take of $736.02 in blog money making .

by Paula Neal Mooney You may have already heard from Media Takeout the uproar this flier caused, soliciting light-skinned women to come to a party in Detroit for free. With a pic of a light-skinned black woman on the flier, and "light skinned women & all Libra's free entry all night" on the bottom of the image, this "light skin" bash harkens back to the days when we used to give each other the brown-paper bag test. That's during the era when blacks stood humiliating at the door of a party and had to pass either one or all of three tests I've heard of: Stick your arm in a brown paper bag -- if you were lighter than the bag, you were in. If your veins showed thru your skin -- you were in. If a fine-toothed comb could pass easily thru your hair -- you were in. Did I miss any inane tests? The Light-Skinned, Dark-Skinned Thing... ...has been around for ages, ever since there were house vs. field folks. Of course the politically correct thing to say her...

ShoppingAds is a new Cost Per Click the techies are writing reviews about, and I want to see if these ads that people only have to click on will make us more money than AuctionAds did.

Last night I was watching Girlfriends , and Lynn had the Chocolate Rain ringtone (download free here) go off on her phone after she bedded some young college student. How old was that college student by the by? And how old is Persia White's character? Anyway, I don't agree with that -- even though he showed her his ID before they got busy -- today I kept thinking of R. Kelly's lyrics " Show me some ID before I get knee-deep...I don't see nothing wrong with a little Bump 'n' Grind " -- I'll bet you my former Kenwood Academy High School alum sees something wrong with it now! But I still hope the best for R. Kelly, and that he's learned his lesson as we all do. I used to blast that Trade in My Life song in my old apartment -- he was taking me to church thru music. While hunting around for the free Chocolate Rain ringtone that you can listen to here , I came across this tripped out unaired Verizon commercial of some thugged-out portrayal of black ...

YBF.com is not the Young Black and Fabulous blog that used to be on a blogspot.com address. No, the real Young, Black and Fabulous .com can be found at TheYBF.com -- that's because cyber-squatters realize the importance of all the Young, Black and Fabulous traffic that that site gets. Even TMZ.com -- TMZ!!!! -- linked to YBF's piece about Lauryn Hill being pregnant with her 5th child by a Marley man (hope it's true -- care for me, care for me, said you'd care for me ...) At least the crazy-popular site Young, Black and Fabulous is monetized. Rhymes With Snitch (who has a Google PageRank of 6 -- and also got a link from TMZ.com when he or she -- I think it's a she -- broke the El Debarge story ) is one of those webmasters that works hard but makes no money off their site from what I can see! I've emailed the Rhymes With Snitch lady to tell her to enable her post pages so that at least she'd have individual URLs, but she hasn't. It's not that I ...

by Paula Neal Mooney Whenever I visit a website, I check out the design and everything thru my webmaster's eyes. I can't help it. So the first time I visited MakeOverSolutions.com, with its tons and tons of celebrity hairstyle pics of stars like Halle Berry -- organized by year, no less -- I thought to myself: Somebody worked hard on this website... That's because I know just how long it takes to upload that many pics and tag them correctly by year and such. Everything MakeOverSolutions.com has done, I want to figure out how to do: Create options that let people log in after signing up with either a free registration (which is what I did, but they also offer paid registrations for 3-month and longer options.) Allow people to upload their pics Create product reviews posted by their users Have a great website design that's clean and easy to follow So MakeOverSolutions.com has put a fire in me to make over my own thinking as a webmaster. I plan to "make over" my...

Why Did I Get Married [watch free] torrent . That's what people are searching for. I know how tempting and frustrating it is that the movie studios haven't yet caught up with the desire to watch movies like "Why Did I Get Married?" online thru torrents . I've sinned. I watched parts of Sicko online free. I shouldn't have done that. And Why Did I Get Married is one movie I feel compelled to agree with Tyler Perry's reasons below to go and dig out our coins and pay to see the movie this weekend, and not bootleg it. I saw Why Did I Get Married (with that great soundtrack) last night and really enjoyed the movie. Yes, a bit melodramatic and over the top, but still Tyler Perry's best movie. Excellent location -- those Colorado mountains and cabin make me want to go there. But anyway, back to the email sent by Tyler Perry two days ago, asking people not to watch "Why Did I Get Married?" free online: Hey there! I woke up this morning knowin...

I finally got a chance to delve into BitTorrent search engine sites that are all the rage these days. I'd just set up my new black gospel music and lyrics .com , and settled in my mind once and for all, "What is torrent?" Turns out I'd already been linking to some of the torrent sites, so I unlinked to the ones that had the racy ads on them. Hope I got all of them. And I'm glad I did, considering all this stuff TorrentSpy is going thru with illegal actions: MPAA Not Done With TorrentSpy Yet TorrentFreak - 4 hours ago Over the past months the TorrentSpy crew has made several drastic changes to their website.

by Paula Neal Mooney Whenever someone asks me what suburb of Chicago I grew up in, I can almost see the look of consternation break thru on their face when I answer, "I'm from the south side of Chicago." Thanks to the nightly news and too many rappers preaching the same litany of woes that they may not have even experienced themselves, visions of trips to the "inner city" of large places like Chicago or daring adventures of New Orleans Tours become synonymous with a trip into a danger zone. Okay, so yeah, there was the time my mom got her purse snatched. And I do caution people hot-footing it over to my "sweet home Chicago" to not flash their jewelry and be aware of their handbags, but more than that, Chicago holds so many more precious memories to me than of bad stuff. Like the guy above from the vantage point of my childhood home, whom we snapped a photo of as he peddled his old-time ice-delivering, milk-delivering or knife-sharpening services -- wh...

Watch The View online, video of Al Sharpton's letter to Whoopi in response of her calling on the preacher to apologize to the Duke 3 . Al Sharpton said he didn't need to apologize to the Duke 3 , because he said he took no position on the Duke 3 rape case, as Whoopi said. But this guy says that Al Sharpton was more involved in persecuting the Duke 3 than he's stating now. Who's right?

Yesterday on The View , Whoopi gained my vote when she said that Al Sharpton should apologize to the Duke 3. The rant was that Al Sharpton wants Isaiah Thomas to apologize to us black women by this Friday, or else he will spearhead a boycott of the Knickerbockers. "She loves the Knicks," my husband chimed in about Whoopi, as I agreed that Sharpton should be just as willing to apologize to the wrongly-accused-of-rape Duke 3. How do we save the polar bears from drowning? That was the next question posed on The View yesterday, during Anderson Cooper's segment about helping to save the environment. Joy Behar got all verklempt -- okay, not really choked up, but I just like using Yiddish whenever I can -- and was her usual lovable, spastic self. "Whenever I see these types of films, even like Al Gore’s film, which was brilliant...I never know, what am I supposed to do? I mean, besides vote for people who are pro-environment, and who don’t vote against, you know, environm...
