Dear friends...fellow soulcasters...

Some of you atleast must be aware that there are some activites being planned out here for forming informal clicking rings, os as to maximse earnings by forming agreementslike.. " You click on my ads, and I will click on yours".

I think it is illegel and not ethical... Also we have to face the music, and face one or more of the following consequences of our choices....

1.You must be aware that google knows your IP address, when usigned up for adsense code.. Recently My mother wanted to get her own adsense id, she had already got a blog here and wanted to put her code in the profile section. What happened was this.. Google sent a mail saying that.....

.....

So much for getting an adsense id/code in a legitimate manner...Now My mom has sent an explanation letter stating that we use the same computer, and share an internet connection. bazically because we live together as one family.
Even though My mother had opened a blog here and was one amongthe first to do in soulcast. she hadn't posted much, as we had net connectivity problems, then... now this is the trouble in getting a legitimate adsense code... then what should I tell of trying to defraud the most sophisticated and advanced computer algorithm ( read as google adsense tracking system ) in the world ? Now my mother is waiting for google to reply, if that does not work out, She is thinking of asking soulcast to let her use my adsense id. But, we shall wait and see what google says...

2. Let's assume that someone organises a ring of counterfeit clicks... and this goes on for some time... Do u think Soulcast will not notice this... and have u permanently banned ? What is worse.. to gather your money few cents at a time.. or be banned foreever, because you were greedy ? I think any sensible person would like to be honest with himself or herself and rather wait and have clean money on his or her hands.... Well. that's what I feel in my heart.

3.Now to the question ( a very delicate one ) of ethics...It is said that, " A honest man is the noblest work of God...(Man includes women too )Are we so unscrupulous so as to steal value from others an be benefitted in such manner ? Are we so degraded so as to rob peter to pay paul...?
Let me clarify on the nature of principles that govern this universe and values that we have for each of ourselves...

Value : A Value is something for which we are willing to give a portion of our lives.What are our general values ? Each person may come up with a list like this.... Love,Honor, Self-respect, Recognition,Freedom,Duty,Friendship,Discipline,Responsibility,Intimacy, etc...
Each person's values are unique to the way in which he or she was brought up, the many factors that go to determine one's values are basically,
1.Family bringing up,
2.Friends,
3.Role models that we are constantly exposed to, in our daily lives, be it tv stars or hollywood heroines, or world leaders to our daily heroes in our lives lik our parents, parental influences, relatives and so on....
The point here,We can have any values and give imporatnce to it, as long as we don't transgress universally accepted values

Let me explain with an example....
Suppose I value money as my topmost value...Why do I do so? Because Money to me is important for my education, I want to finish my education and become a CFP/CISA specialist... and then I want to feel happiness, so Money is a means to achieve the end of feeling happy.
So, can I justify this value, by coming and robbing your house and fulfilling my value ? Apparently not, as it is against socially accepted values of honesty and morality.
Similarly, the google system has been set up in such a way, that when someone provides a service of linkin others who want specific information, they get paid in cents and dollars, as per the nature of the information's rarity and nature of availability.
So, when we click just for the sake of getting ad money, without the intention of providing any service, we behave in a selfish manner.And the universal law of karma, it never sleeps, what we sow, that we shall reap.If we steal from peter to pay paul, then we shall be dealt accordingly by GOD, the master of us all...

4.Now the question arises..How can I provide genuine service to others ( read as other bloggers ) and still earn money for my efforts ?
This shall be dealt with in the following series of articles, and here are a few tips.

a.It is as true as night follows day, thast whaever thought you send out will come back to you, greatly multiplied to bless or to curse, as is the nature of the original thought. So, if ur intention is to attract abundance ,then start providing abundance to others.This needd not be money, u can share love, best wishes and blessings, and spread loving thoughts to others.So, when I read blogs for learning's sake, I click genuinely on other's blogs, because I want to learn more about the related stuff.I have faith that the universe, ( a friendly place to live in, where it takes care of me, its child ) will provide for me, in a similar manner.

b.Start writing things that have touched your heart, or has appealed to your intellect.Write simply and let the ideas flow.... If u are experincing writer's block, then I suggest you read from other's blogs, that will give your subconscious mind some food for thought.What matters more is not merely, what others think of you, but what GOD thinks of you, and what your children believe you are...these things are more important than mere money and fame.

c.Submit your blog to mant blogsearch engines.Soulcast has said that it will soon launch feed burner and Rss. so, until then submit your blog to yahoo and other search engines, I shall provide a list of search engines as soon as I finish compiling them,...tillthen I suggest that you do a search in various search engines, not just google and share your findings with others, that will ensure more visits to your blog and also ppl will feel in their hearts.." Here is a person who is true and genuine and kind.This persojn has taken trouble to provide information.Let me help this person by knowing more about related topics and they shall read the related information(ads displayed ) and you shall generate money...see what I mean... the more meaning you provide to other's lives, people shall reciprocate in kind.

Ultimately what matters most is not reaching our destination ( read as financial goals) but to travel with a hopeful heart.We have to make wise choices, and translate those wise choices into actions with diligence and responsibility and integrity.

That's all folks, presently... I shall be posting the list of search engines and other sitres where u can submit your blog, as soon as I finish compiling it, tuill then Stay honest to your consciences and hearts... and pleas let me know what you think of the above....

If you feel that you want to communicate and still remain anonymous, then u can reach me( mail or chat ) at heartywalk at gmail dot com.I assure you that ur anonymity and honor shall be respected and your efforts shall be acknowledged and thanked.

To conclude, I would ask u the opening quesion again... What are u here for? to make money, or to write and cast out ideas from your soul? I think the answer lies in a delicate and healthy balance between the two.. Even as you provide value to other bloggers through your writings, The universe, ( the same friendly place that has been providing for us since eternity) shall see to it, that our monetary interests are satisfied
Until next time, I remain to you, my dear fellow soulcasters yours sincerely Heartwalker

    Dear readers, What choices do you make with respect to ideas in soulcast and making money... if u don't wantto share them here, but would remain anonymous, then feel free to mail me.
  • pinkjellybeans said on Aug 07, 2006....
    What am I here for...? Well, I have always been addicted to writing a diary, which I do several times a day on another website. When I heard of this website, I decided to write abstract entries here - and now I find there is the added bonus of being paid, if people click your ads. So... I am here to write. I am here to write whatever I need to write about at the time. As I'm not sure if people do actually click our ads, coming here for the money is a bit silly, but if I earn any, it's a bonus - but that's all. PinkJellyBeans

    Hi jellybeans, nice of u to take some time to share your views, alongwith this, I suggest that u open an account with blogger.com too, that is google's blog, and u can display all your own ads there, for search, content and downloads too... it will add to your pocket money.I liked to read ur posts, post more, not the ultra private thoughts, but the not so private ones, I like to know what ticks ppl and how ppl are different , yet the same within...

    I'm here as a secret government employee charged with collecting personal information on all of you. I have files on everyone. I know where you live.

    hahahahah... now iam happy..happykat.. you have a great sense of humor
  • silverwhisper said on Aug 07, 2006....
    i'm here for the conversation. the money is nice but it's hardly primary for why i'm here. ed
  • schreist said on Aug 07, 2006....
    Does this mean I'd have to give back to $0.08 I made this summer?
  • bloc said on Aug 07, 2006....
    I love this site because it reminds my of the old community sites that were popular before "blogging" got it's name yet it's also a blog which the old community sites were not. I've had a blogger account for years and I never got a single comment, but in a few months on soulcast I've gotten many many comments. That's why I'm here, I love talking about things and none of the other blogging sites gave me a two way conversation. The money, if I ever hit $100, is just a bonus. 99% of my blogs are political so many during election season my ad revenue will actually get me up to the $100 mark. So far I'm under $10, but I think that has a lot to do with the topic I choose to write about.
  • bloc said on Aug 07, 2006....
    er, I typo's something. "so many during election season" should read "so maybe during election season"
  • Zayda said on Aug 07, 2006....
    I came here simply because I was looking for a space that I would feel comfortable writing and "casting my soul" in. I spent a great deal of time reading for a few days before I even posted. I am here for the conversations and the sense of community. The money is far less significant than the connections I have made and the comfort I have found here.
  • Heartwalker said on Aug 08, 2006....
    @ SW and Zayda, Thanx for response... it's nice to know that ppl are here for the love of human company and not merely the lure of green color paper in their hands... @ bloc... Wishu well, during the elections.:))) @schreist,... no u don't have to give it away,... that is if u haven't clicked on ur own ads... @ every one here... do u think SC should continue with this post limit? personally this puts me off...wat do u think ?

  • quidnunc said on Aug 08, 2006....
    earning should be secondary, if not altogether irrelevant. for me, i'm here to enjoy the views, insights, and comments of my fellow soulcasters like you...
  • Heartwalker said on Aug 08, 2006....
    ok quidnunc,... r u aware that a few days ago, there was somebody who wanted to start a group called adsensers... ? does Sc know this ? do u have any idea as to what happened to them ?
  • FaithfulDisciple said on Aug 09, 2006....
    There are many other blogger sites out there but I have yet to see one like Soulcast where the participation is intense and the interaction so engrossing. The Adsense part would be a bonus if it really brought in good money. bloc: As you are very good at writing political blogs, are you amenable to being paid a tidy sum to write favorably on a particular political interest? Say for example to write good reviews or election campaigning stuff for a political group for really good money? In short paid poilitical blogs.
  • perfectingmypast said on Aug 11, 2006....
    Simply because of 3 reasons: 1st, i love writing and i'm looking for a space where nobody knows me and i could express myself freely...2nd, i enjoy reading...reading...reading (i'm an addict!)...3rd, this is the very 1st site i found that connects bloggers thru active conversations...getting paid here is an extra bonus...thanks SC!
