All of them must have unique features to offer if they want to be a prominent free blogging provider.

Changing Blog Themes

Zetys.info is just starting for a couple of days as an active blog. Therefore I still need some improvement here and there to achieve the best performance and layout. I was searching a good themes design to be used here.

Thank to OS Designer for designing an elegant CSS Gallery theme. I love it’s simplicity, so I decided to use the theme on Zetrys.Info.

The CSS Gallery is actually meant to be a Themes Gallery for WordPress, but it’s not difficult to transform the gallery themes into regular blog themes. I only need to add several wordpress template tags on the original theme. And here it is the new themes for my blog.

One crucial factor I was worrying is about the structure of CSS Gallery code which is not optimized for Search Engine Crawler. The content on each page is displayed after the sidebar and this is not SEO friendly. Ideally the content should come first then followed by the sidebar and the footer. To fix this I have to switch the section’s order of appearance and put the content on the first position. I have to change some CSS code though.

Now the themes for my review blog is ready, it looks great on Firefox, Opera and Safari, but the Internet Explorer 7 doesn’t display it correctly. I need to work on it.

Starting A New Journey To Earn Money Online

There have been some big changes that had happened on Zetrys.Info during the past one year online. Starting as a site directory that has no luck attracting more listers, then we’ve decided to park it on NameDrive, up to now we’ve changed our mind again and starting to activate this domain back from it’s hibernation.

The main reason we’ve pulled the Zetrys.Info back to life, is merely on it’s PageRank. I still have no idea, why this domain keeping a PageRank 3 during it’s parking period?

While a PR3 has no meaning for a parked domain, at the same time, parking Zetrys.Info didn’t give me enough earning since it has only very small visitor since I never use any promotion to drive more traffic to it.

Regarding to it’s PR, I think the Zetrys.Info could earn more money if I use it as an active Blog to write some review. Perhaps you know already that a high rank domain could accept a higher bid price on paid review agency. That’s what I’m looking for.

I have been in paid review business for a while and I think paid review still looks promising venue to earn money. Although it is not kind such a passive income but I think paid review has an attractive side for me.

The paid review business once had a big drawback when Google start reducing PageRank until zero of many domain which clearly indicates a paid review. Google doesn’t like buying link activity in order to boost PageRank or SERP.

One of my blog that I used to write a review article received this punishment and it’s PageRank fell down from 4 to zero, I keep it online ever since without regularly update.

Now I start my journey again with a new home on Zetrys.Info and I will give you regular updates related to this journey. Wish me luck guys.
