I did not use SMS free service from web before. I just came across from hongkiat blog posted about Chawt, a free SMS sending service from online that let you sent 80 characters message to any number. It requires signup and you need to activate your account with the activation code that they sent to your mobile number. Once you activate, you can sent SMS to any number over 160 countries. Message comes from your mobile number when you sent from Chawt so that they can reply to you back. Try Chawt!

Just a short note, Google created a page where you can support victims of the Nargis cyclone in our country, Myanmar (Burma). You can donate to either UNICEF or relief by using Google Checkout. Thanks, Google. No wonder I like you very much.

Thanks, Thant Zin.

BuySellAds is another making money service for bloggers and webmasters. You can earn fixed-money buy selling ads from your site through their marketplace. You can register at BuySellAds buy simply filling up form along with your first name, last name, address, etc. As soon as they approved, you can add your sites as much as you want to get listed in their marketplace. Their commission is 25%, that’s good. For example, if you set your ads block to $20, they’ll take out $5 and you can earn $15. There is no minimal payment so that you can withdraw your earning whenever you want. As my experience BuySellAds service is great because they sent to me customized ad scripts code to fixed for my site design even I did not request. I suggested you to use this service if your site has high pagerank or high traffic. You can advertise here too. :)

CPC (Cost-per-click) in my Adsense is very low and generated only $27.70. First I thought that Google reduces CPC rate in Adsense. But I found the two treads Do Multiple Adsense units reduce CPC ? and Use of multiple Adsense units drop your CPC that discussed about putting too many Adsense units can decrease CPC in adsense. Should I believe ? If you have any experience on that case, please leave comment here. I would appreciate.

Today, woke up early and sat in front of computer and then I saw a tiny PageRank bar from Google Toolbar shows that my site has PageRank 5. Wow! I can’t believe my eyes. And then I was checking with the following tools to see my site PageRank.

• prchecker.info
• www.iwebtool.com/pagerank_checker
• www.checkpagerank.com
• pr.blogflux.com
• digpagerank.com

All of those PR checkers show that My site has PageRank 5. I visited my MountMandalay.net and my brother’s web site. What I found is that each has PageRank 4. Then I continued visiting my friends sites and I noticed that they’re also having increased PageRank.

Honestly, my site doesn’t have huge traffic except when I created and posted new theme and has less than 100 visitors a day sometimes less than 50. Most come from other sites that are using my themes or posted about my Wordpress Themes but not directly. Anyway, my site has PageRank 5 !!!

I noticed lately that Google removed Text link ads from search result page. What’s wrong with link broker site that has PR7 ? Do search Text Link Ads in Google.
