Do you know the newest from of Online Modus Operandi? It’s what I call ‘Adsense Blackmail’. What’s with this ‘Adsense Blackmail’ and how does this work?
I’m not sure if anyone of you already experienced this. But this morning, upon checking my mails, I got this comment for approval under PCO [http://www.pinaycelebrityonline.com/2009/09/alodia-gosengfiao-bikini-photos.html#comments].
Nothing new as the site has been used to receiving comments from Pinay Celebrity fans. But there’s something different from this comment. It’s not about Alodia Gosengfiao or her photos. It’s actually a blackmail as if commanding me to click on his adsense ads everyday and if not, he’ll click on the ads on the site and later get it banned under adsense. Here’s the complete comment.

It’s been quite a while since I last posted an article. I dunno but procrastination has gotten into me until this analysis/paralysis took over. I hope I can get out of this dilemma as soon as possible. Let me start it today.
I just want to share my blog earnings in the past months, sort of just an update since I last posted my adsense earnings. Why should I share? Simply because I wanna brag, hehe. But nah, won’t do any good anyway. I’d probably want to inspire you that this is possible and doable.

Last week, I attended this ‘Fundamentals of Investing’ course where one of the topic is about inflation. As I’ve wrote in my previous article “Why do we need to plan for retirement? Inflation: Silent Money Killer”, I’ve discussed the tremendous effect of inflation in our lives.
Here’s more disturbing fact that I’ve learned in the seminar. Did you know that the highest inflation rate recorded in history was no other than Zimbabwe? Yes, that’s correct. It’s Zimbabwe who holds the highest inflation rate in history of mankind. And how much is that, you may ask.
