Although I still enjoy ProBlogger quite a bit. Web Dosh has become my favorite website about blogging because he doesn’t write a lot of fluff. Most people who write about blogging will never tell you the actual secrets of what they do. For example, I can say without ego that I am one of the best Article-Based SEO writers on the internet but I do not give up my secrets.
Don't look too closely for the secrets on this blog however because I just write this one for fun. I make most of my money niche-blogging. I am saying that because I don't want you to waste your time.
I am sure that Web Dosh does not cough up everything he has but he does provide useful content that can actually be used to help you blog more efficiently online. A lot of the SEO and Profesional blogging websites are filled with slush that will do nothing to help you promote or optimize your website.
The layout and organization is a blog but it throws in some personal touches that Mashable lacks. I enjoy the anime pictures used for the article writer. It gives it a personal touch that is unique to this blog.
His advertising is organized which is very nice. Then he provides a list of resources, articles and interactivity to keep the readers interested. All of Mashable’s ads just make me bored quicker. After the first few articles of Mashable, I am ready to move on whereas Dosh Dosh draws me further into his site.

Mashable is a website devoted to all the different Social Media Networks out there like Facebook, Myspace and all the other niche-media sites. The purpose of the site is to inform more than anything. The content isn’t as easily navigated in small portions as ProBlogger was but it does a fair job I think.
The content is good if you are looking for new social media networks but beyond that it is basically just a lot of fluff. I am only interested in Social Media for promotional, seo, and marketing purposes so if it isn’t a piece of brand new technology then it is not particularly interesting to me.
I really think that people have a very sad life if they are that obsessed with Social Media News. I am not saying that I don’t enjoy social media, I am addicted to YouTube. But this website doesn’t really do much for me although I think that it can be a great resource from time to time and I have nothing bad to say about it.
The colors make Mashable's 3 Column Layouts difficult for me to read. It feels convoluted to me for some reason. In my blogs: if I have a 3 column layout I refer the content not to be in the middle as this one is.
The navigation in this blog is straightforward enough but it is a bit “whorish” the sidebars are filled almost completely with ads. It would be a lot more effective if they broke up the ads more with some sort of content or interactivity like a poll. They also do not link to related posts inside their posts which is poor if you ask me.
And truthfully, I am getting board of the blog layout even though I am forced to use them. I prefer the blog/website hybrids like MovieWeb or Problogger that are becoming very popular these days.
Overall, this is a good quality website. The content isn’t always for me, but that does not mean that it is a bad site. I would recommend checking it out.

The ultimate goal of the Problogger website is to make money, but it does so in an informative manner. Darren Rowse earns the bulk of his money by discussing how bloggers make money. He then embeds affiliate links with the description or review. A person then clicks on that affiliate link and if that person signs up for a service, Darren then gets a cut. Along with advertising this makes for a lucrative blogging business.
Pro Blogger also provides a lot of informative information that is interesting to bloggers. Overall, I think that the content is excellent although it can be a bit fluffy at times. Upon further examination and by reading between the lines, you can learn everything you need to be a successful blogger.
I really like how the blog is laid out. It is divided up into individual sections as you scroll down. It feels like about 5 websites in one as you move down the page. The first section is a bit like a media source for bloggers with links to his vidcast, recent articles, subscription information and advertisers.
As we scroll down, we get a list of his best articles that I really feel helps transition us down the page towards the sitemap and blogging resources which are usually veiled methods of promoting Problogger Products or affiliate links.
This website is both informative and profitable and that is ultimately why it is one of the primary websites on Professional Blogging.

El cantante británico Pete Doherty saliĂł este martes de la cárcel tras haberse beneficiado de una liberaciĂłn anticipada despuĂ©s de 29 dĂas tras las rejas, en lugar de las 14 semanas a las que habĂa sido condenado por no respetar las condiciones de una advertencia previa.
El cantante de los grupos de rock The Libertines y The Babyshambles abandonó el centro penitenciario de Wormwood Scrubs, en el oeste de Londres a las 07H10 locales (06H10 GMT), indicaron medios de comunicación británicos.
Vestido con su ya tradicional traje y corbata oscuros y con su inseparable sombrero, el cantante dijo a la prensa que querĂa llegar a su casa rápidamente, de beberse un ron con coca cola y de acariciar a sus gatos.
Doherty fue condenado el 8 de abril a 14 semanas de cárcel por violar las condiciones de una advertencia que le habĂan impuesto tras varios problemas con la justicia, en particular por consumo de drogas o por conducir ebrio.
El juez que dictĂł la sentencia habĂa destacado que el mĂşsico llegaba a menudo tarde o directamente no asistĂa cuando era citado por la justicia.
En 2004, Doherty estuvo una temporada en la cárcel por haber ingresado a la fuerza en el apartamento de otro miembro del grupo The Libertines, Carl Barat, robarle su guitarra y un ordenador.
Doherty es también conocido por su romance con la modelo británica Kate Moss.

I'm really starting to like this new way of blogging I have made. At night, before going to bed, I look up all my stories. In the morning, I wake up a half hour earlier to type up everything. I find I'm more efficient since in the morning, I have a limited amount of time. Also, I like it better because I'm less tired while writing it. My new work schedule makes me wake up early, whether it's 8:00 am or 8:30 am, the only difference is I don't have to buy a Cafe Depot in the morning.
Ok, well let's have the goss!
I'll start with some good Britney news! She showed up to her court meeting in her custody battle on time & was awarded more time with the kids due to her recent change of heart.
Britney Spears' visitation rights to sons Sean Preston and Jayden James were expanded Tuesday following a custody hearing with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
There was no change in custody, Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said at a press conference, but he said her time with her boys will be "more than it has been." He would not elaborate.
Spears will get three days supervised visitation a week and visitation on Mother's Day.
I'm really glad things are coming back to normal for Britney. Sam Lutfi really behind all this bizarre behavior. The night before, instead of the partying, she just went to see Alicia Keys in concert and headed straight home.
The singer arrived at the Staples Center at 8:30 p.m. with mom Lynne, her assistant, and two bodyguards and parked in an underground VIP parking lot to avoid photographers. There was no sign of sister Jamie Lynn Spears, who just celebrated her baby shower with her big sis in Kentwood, La., last weekend.
Spears – who according to one onlooker looked pretty and seemed psyched to be there – missed the opening act, Ne-Yo, but got there in time to clap when Keys took the stage and to get up and bop to the tunes.
See how much someone's entourage can change a person. I'm glad we're not fearing for Britney's life anymore!
Story 1 by Us MagazineStory 2 by People Story 3 by TMZPicture by Yahoo NewsIn more serious news, yesterday were the American primaries in both North Carolina & Nevada. It seems Barack Obama has just widen the gap between the him and rival Hillary Clinton.
Early returns in Indiana showed Sen. Hillary Clinton with a commanding lead, but as results came in through the evening, that lead narrowed considerably.
With 88 percent of Indiana precincts reporting, Clinton was ahead of Obama, 52-48 percent.
There are 72 delegates at stake in Indiana.
Obama thanked his supporters in North Carolina after they handed him a decisive win. With more than 60 percent of precincts reporting, Obama held a 14-point lead over Clinton.
The win will give him the larger share of the state's 115 delegates.
I'm actually a Clinton supporter, so this defeat is a little upsetting to me. Especially while I was watching CNN, they were calculating all the different possibilities for him/her and her only option is for the Florida/Michigan votes to be counted or the super delegatues to nominate her. In terms of popular vote, he's got it pretty much down covered.
Story by CNNI found this article about Paris Hilton's dogs I found interesting. Did you know she has in total 18 dogs (one actually died in a closet). Yesterday she bought a new one....
"It seems that the "Hottie" has been, uh, well, killing her dogs. Oh but totally by accident! See she gets a new puppy, but then doesn't want to train it or whatever so she just leaves it in a closet and flits away somewhere. Days later, employees report, they'll find the dog still in the closet, dead. Beautiful. After the jump watch Paris tell Ellen DeGeneres that she owns 17 dogs.
I understand she is probably better equipped to take care of the dogs then anyone else seeing as she has a huge mansion & could hire people for the everyday chores, but still there's a limit of how many dogs a single person can have. She probably doesn't have time with all of them in between of her crazy schedule right?

Here are some pictures of The Cruises joined by the Beckhams on the red carpet for Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala.
Is it just me or does Posh look like dracula. She is ready to suck your blood - Buffy style! Lol, well the rest of the gang looked amazing. It was supposed to have an old hollywood theme, but I think VB missed the ship on this one.

How much do you wanna bet Pink has had no prior contact before this with Bai Ling. That Bai just somehow found out Pink was going to be there so decided to join in order to get some pictures of herself taken. Two d-listers are always better then one right?

Kate Bosworth was one of the very few who chose to wear a shorter dress to the event. She made up for the lack of length with vibrant sequins, block coloured shoes and creative make-up. I’m always excited to see what Tilda Swinton will rock out in, but i’m not feeling this look. I did like the lace that graced the Prada catwalks, but on Tilda the appeal is some how lost. The Prada lace dress is ok, even though it sits at an awkward length on Swinton, but i like how she always seems to play up her red hair with accessories & make-up that highlight it even more. Naomi Watts posed on the red carpet in a very red carpet cliche. Long flowing gown, 40’s quiff & curl and red lips to compliment the white. She did look very beautiful, but i find it funny how all…
