My PR5 blog dropped its PR

Posted on Saturday, October 6th 2007 1:01 am by menj in Directories, Internet

For some strange reason, Google decided to make some sort of adjustment to their PageRank algorithm. The result of that was my flagship blog dropped its PR by -1 to PR4. I find it strange because this is certainly not an update and out of all my sites, only my blog has suffered from a decrease in PageRank for some strange reason. Fortunately my web directories did not suffer a tumble due to this change, although many directory owners have experienced a -1 tumble in their PR as well.

Withdraw PayPal to your debit card directly

Posted on by menj in Internet Income, Payment Gateway

This should be good news for a majority of Malaysian PayPal account holders who do not have the VMI card in order to withdraw their funds from PayPal without printing anything. It seems that PayPal has now allowed Malaysians to withdraw their funds from their PayPal accounts directly to their credit/debit card with the appearance of a second option in the “Withdraw” options menu, although the process will take between 5 to 7 days and a fee of USD5 will be charged.

Debt management solutions

Posted on Tuesday, October 2nd 2007 2:59 am by menj in General

One may ask what is debt management? Well, debt management is the process of bringing together ones debts from various sources, amalgamating or consolidating them into one single debt usually at a lower rate of interest. This process of debt consolidation has become very popular in the recent times because of the flexibility and simplicity it offers to the takers as it could freeze your interest payments and extend the period of your repayments. Such debts involves very common debts like credit cards, mortgages, student loans and other types of debts.

So how does one resolve the issue of debt and find a solution to the problem? One option that we can consider in order to resolve debt issues is the Individual Voluntary Arrangement, or IVA in short. This type of debt consolidation will allow you to get you out of debt over a five year period, which is often the case for debts of this type. The benefits of considering IVAs would include the freezing of interest, reduction in the total amount of debt owing, and legal protection from creditors.

No wonder why this method is still growing in popularity, since the number of lenders is on the rise. However, it should be reminded that once you take up an IVA, it is legally binding upon you to continue with the full term as stipulated in the contract. In case of doubt, the advice is that you should do your calculations and read up more on IVA at trapped.co.uk, which provides this debt repayment plan for its clients, before you decide to go ahead with it.

Google Adsense payments via Western Union

Posted on Monday, October 1st 2007 4:19 am by menj in Internet Income, PPC

I know that I’ve been a really bad boy and not been paying attention to my Google Adsense earnings as of late. Oh yes, I still get payments from Google but certainly not as much as it was during the time when I was focusing my attention on it and at its peak. Mostly its because I get discouraged with the payment systems via cheque which is troublesome for this part of the world I am living in. Not only do I have to wait for a long time for those cheques to arrive, I also have to wait for them to clear at the local bank (takes a whole bloody month, would you believe it?). Plus, after the bank dip their beaks into the money, there isn’t much leftover for me to save or spend.
