This is my third year taking this free online class from Ed Dale, The Challenge 2010. A completely free seminar for online bloggers and internet marketing newbies, I first found out about this course from Janet Ford, my Ehow guru. Ed Dale stresses that anyone on any level can participate and learn a wealth of information. I am one of those people who have been blessed by learning so much. In 2008, I learned about Google Reader and RSS feeds from The Challenge. This year I was able to use a free software, Market Samurai, Wordpress Direct and Traffic Bug that I enjoyed evaluating.

I wanted to drop by and tell everyone about how the views on my blog is going. I started the blog on blogger.com called Missing Persons of America to run side by side with my Missing Persons Examiner column .  I picked this one because it was simple and it was very automatic for putting adsense and amazon ads on it.  Since I don't have anymore time in the day to dedicate to one more thing, I knew it had to be simple and easy. I started off with a eerie looking background and a very "bloggy" look to it.  Then whenever I posted an article on Examiner, I just hit the " Add This " button on my browser and clicked on the "Blogger" button and the headline was posted as a hyperlink.  I noticed some traffic, at the most one day 20.  I was getting hits, that I never really thought I would get.  With blogger it was easy to see where the hits were coming from and the majority were coming from searches on google.  I earned five cents.  Not much, but th...
