In today’s world it’s easier then ever before to make money with your website or blog, and their are new ways being developed every single day.  We can use Adsense, Text Link Ads, and AuctionAds, each based on a different advertising model, but all are after the same thing, to make money while helping to make you money.

I’d like to introduce you to a new advertising method called ‘mashing content’, basically it works like this;  You signup free The News Room and you can embed full licensed into your site or blog by providers such as Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-PRess. 

So how can you make money you may be asking?  Well each time you embed a video on your site you have the opportunity of making money via CPM (Click per thousand) of up to $4.00.  You also make money when someone embeds the video from your site.  This is an absolutely insane opportunity for video blogs and should definitely run with this.

An example embedding below shows a simple one column layout, but they have others that will suit the needs of your blog, and embedding the video itself was extremely easy, and Live Writer made it even easier.  You can also win prizes ranging from digital cameras to new cars just for embedding information that your visitors are going to want to see.  Seems like a win/win to me.

 Backing up is one of the most crucial things that any site owner and even computer owner needs to do, yet most of us don’t.  I’ve been guilty of it myself and I’ve lost a lot of important data.  Now in the days of Web 2.0 you don’t even have an excuse anymore not to backup your files because there are plenty of automated Online Backup websites and applications out there, one of which being IDrive-E.

IDrive-E provides a free 2GB of backup space without any catch which includes automated backups without any restrictions or bandwidth limits.  You can backup any types of files you want so you don’t have to worry about losing a specific type file which a foreign file extension.

All of the files you backup are stored in there world-class data centers with complete data encryption so even your most precious of data is safe and secure.

If you’re looking for a little more than 2GB of space, you can just as easily get an unlimited amount of storage for only $4.95 per month with the Pro version of IDrive, which is cheaper than any of it’s competitors.

Web Hosting is definitely one of my many passions and anytime I see something that really peaks my interest I like to give you guys a heads up on what it is. I was contacted by a friend of mine with a new site called WH-D which is a social Web Hosting Directory similiar to digg, but strictly for web hosting related information.

Although you can read the full press-release here I wanted to take an excerpt out that I found sold me on the idea.

WH-D.com allows site visitors to search for web hosting providers serving a multitude of categories, including managed, budget, Linux, Windows, reseller, and VPS hosting. Within each category, visitors are presented with a list of posts for various hosts, and visitors can then vote for posts that they find reliable or helpful. Ultimately, the positioning of each post in the category changes as new votes are submitted, with popular posts quickly reaching the top of the page.

“It’s about empowering our users” is what CEO and Co-Founder, Sohaib Thiab stated about Web 2.0 and he’s absolutely right. When was the last time you saw a successfully Web 2.0 site that didn’t offer anything for the user to manage? This was easily doable in web 1.0 but just isn’t the case anymore.

This Web2.0 Web Hosting Directory is completely free to join and submit stories, and is powered by the Pligg engine for a very simple and familiar look. As always you should check this site out, especially if you’re interested in anything Web Hosting.
