Not sure it is what I thought it was going to be. I do have 3 blogs up over there right now, but don't really use them for much other than a place to link from (sidebar and in posts when relevant). It would be a perfect place to build a Christmas blog though. I hadn't even thought of that!! It's been a while since I've been there, not sure they're still adding content on free accounts, but it would be a great place to set up a blog to use for linking. Yes. Go with the free version first, see what you think about it. It should be enough for what you want to do. If you think you need more and you like what they do, then think about an upgrade. There's probably no reason to have to pay for this. Hi Ken D. :) Thanks for that, I didn’t realize there are two of you. :)

Maybe a little off topic but I stumbled on the wp direct. (I later saw your lens for it, nice!) Have you personally used it and what are your thoughts on it? Could we use it to help with the backlinks for Christmas blogs since it seems fast to set up? Thanks. I noticed there is another Ken so not to be confused I added my initial.

If you host wp on your own hosting account (less than $10 these days), can't you transfer your whole account to your own server acct? Not sure if that's possible but just a thought.

I love their service and was worried they would be taken over by all the crap out there. When quality sites like Squidoo, HubPages and EZA start cracking down on all the topics like Reverse Phone Detective, Get Your Ex Back and Weight Loss - it should tell us something about those markets. Thanks Jackie! Frank Good for EZA! I love their service and was worried they would be taken over by all the crap out there.

I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you. :( Obviously, I didn't read the WP TOS beforehand. If I had, I would have NEVER started my blog on their site since my whole intention was to make money from my blog... but what gets me is I started this blog in December 2008 and it took them 8 months to find my blog and then send my traffic to their "Trash" site just when I started to make some money?!?! And what gets me even more angry is at the time when I started this blog, I was a member of a "marketing" forum and just about everyone on this forum knew me and knew what I was trying to do and not one single person even suggested that WP might not be the place for me to start! Oh well, it is all water under the bridge now! I really need to focus my attentions on getting those 5 lenses on the first page of Google now! :) Thanks for letting me rant!

They state in their TOS that they do NOT allow any making money from their site. They also state you can not link to sites just for the purpose of helping them in the search engine rankings. Don't feel too bad ~ I didn't read the TOS when I first started, and I had a BUNCH of blogs on there ~ in fact, most of my linking network was stupidly on wp.com ~ and I got them ALL deleted ~ with no warning. You can <a href="http://internetmarketingformommies.com/wordpresscom-deleted-all-of-my-blogs/" rel="nofollow">read the whole sad story here</a> if you want to do some non money making behavior lol. Unfortunately for me, the blog I started that talked about Hanna and the beginning days of my motherhood were on wp.com as well, now all gone. That's definitely a problem you face when you work on free sites where other people own your stuff, I'll tell you I ALWAYS read the TOS before I start putting content somewhere now ~ looking for little rules like that. :( Hi Cindy

I did stay with Travis' get my ex back though, and I was cruising along making sales head over heals with it (I made $202). And then Wordpress decided to change their TOS and decided that my <a href="http://magiccin.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">get my ex back</a> was no longer viable, so whenever someone clicks on one of my links within my blog it takes them to a Wordpress site that states my blog is Trash (my interpretation)! So, I did all 53 posts and many months of work all for NOTHING! So, why am I telling you this? Because you just made me realize that I really need to find MY OWN NICHE and make it work for me!!! I was in the middle of transferring everything from Wordpress to Blogspot, but I seriously think I'm going to give up on that and find something that's going to be all mine (or at least not as big as Travis' get my ex back). THANK YOU JACKIE !!! I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate you and what you are doing! Cindy Hey Jackie,

It's stories like this that bring tears to my eyes. There's no reason everyone can't succeed out here. There's more than enough for everyone and I'm really glad I can be part of it. :) Congrats on taking action, and making sales. Love it. WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!
