I have posted about Swagbucks before, how quickly they accumulate and all the wonderful purchases that can be made with them in the Swag Store. But, all this week, they are having a Back to School promotion to take away the blues!
If you are not familiar with Swagbucks it is a search engine which randomly awards Swag Bucks as you search. You get “paid” to do what you normally do! The bucks are then automatically deposited into your Swagbucks account to be redeemed for prizes. My personal favorite is the $5 amazon.com giftcard for 450 Swag Bucks. This may sound like a lot, but they add up quickly. I have bought a 17″ cast iron skillet ($68) and have an automatic delivery schedule for gluten flour set up (both through amazon) and I have paid nothing out of pocket!
This week’s promotion includes:
- Five one-of-a-kind Back-To-School themed Swag Buck bills in varying amounts – collect them all throughout the week and you’ll earn yourself a 50 Swag Buck bonus!
- Sales on all School Supplies and Cookie’s Kids items in the Swag Store
- Some special Facebook/Twitter specific promos
- Thursday they are having a Swag Code Extravaganza, a day in which there will be no less than 5 Swag Codes!
Sign Up Bonus! If you have not yet signed up for Swagbucks, enter the code BackToSchool while signing up and receive an extra 40 Swag Bucks (in addition to the normal 30) when you sign up, giving a grand total of 70 out of the gate. This code is valid until 11:59pm PDT on Sunday, August 15.

SEO = Search Engine Optimization. If you are a blogger, then you have probably at one time or another wondered, investigated or worried over the best way to have your written content at its best. I am speaking in terms of how it is viewed by the search engines.
Scribe SEO accomplishes this with great ease! Now, without worry or long hours, you can tweak your content effortlessly.
Scribe Web allows you to optimize content no matter what the eventual publishing platform. The Scribe version for WordPress is a plugin and works with WordPress if you’re able to fill in a custom title tag and meta description for the post or page. Scribe SEO was originally developed for the Thesis Theme for WordPress but also works with the free All in One SEO plugin, the Hybrid theme, and the Headway theme. I have the All in One SEO plugin here at Dimes2Vines.
 When you try the FREE introductory offer, you are given an API key which is then plugged in and allows you to utilize the service right from your WordPress interface. You are given step-by-step instructions on how to install and activate it – it really is simple!
Here is what Scribe SEO does:
- Analyzes what you’ve already written.
- Tells you what search engines will think you’re writing about.
- Tells you what changes to make to better reflect the language searchers are using.
- Helps you tweak remaining content elements based on SEO best practices.
So, after I write a post and fill in the Meta Description and Title Tag, I hit the analyze button. Scribe analyzes what I have written and gives me an SEO score. I then check my keyword analysis to see how my keywords match what people are looking for. If I have not done well, I check Scribe’s suggestions on how to refocus primary keywords. Since Google takes into account not only the keywords but also the synonyms, Scribe also gives this information. The SERP (Search Engine Results Page) tab lets me see how my description will look on the search page. It also gives SEO’s best practices for each analysis.
I have been very pleased with the Scribe SEO plugin and encourage you to give it a try. You can try it FREE for 30 days to see what you think! If you decide it is for you, subscriptions start as low as $17/mth. You are free to cancel before the 30 days FREE trial ends with no further obligation.
Today, Friday, is MegaSwagbucks day again! This means the odds are higher to win the big bills! Of course there is no guarantee that you will win, but they do guarantee to award over 400,000 in Mega Bills!
If you have not already, sign up with Swagbucks (you get 30 bonus SB for signing up!), and begin using it as your search engine for your normal internet searches. The difference is, Swagbucks are awarded randomly for searches. These Swagbucks can then be redeemed at the Swagstore for merchandise from electronics, t-shirts, gift cards and much more. My favorite is the $5 Amazon.com gift card for 450SB. I think this is the most bang for the buck!
There are other ways to win also! Download the toolbar and it is at your fingertips! Swagcodes are periodically sent out in emails through the toolbar. Swaghunts are announced when a code is hidden somewhere on the site and you follow clues to find the code. There are also Special Offers to complete for Swagbucks.
Special Offers are available for many items from freebies to those which require a purchase. Yesterday, I took the time to complete a couple which interested me. American Greetings has a trial offer which pays 246 SB. Netflix also has a trial offer which awards 850 SB. I have the option to cancel before the end of my trial offer if I choose, and retain my Swagbucks. Check them out!
I just received an email stating that the National Consumer Panel has openings!
Are you familiar with the National Consumer Panel? It is a national organization made up of people like you and me that provide information by what we purchase. These opinions help manufacturers and retailers decide what products to produce and improve. If accepted as a member, you will be sent a hand held scanner. After returning home from shopping, you or a family member simply scan the bar codes of the products purchased. Then weekly, you send them your information.
What are the benefits? You will earn points that may be redeemed for name brand merchandise including, electronics, household items, jewelry, toys and more! You are also earning entries into their sweepstakes. And, you are making your opinions count!
To join, simply fill out the information form on the NCP website. You will know after submitting the first page whether they are accepting in your area or not. Always before when applying, I received the message after the first page, that there were no openings in our area! I am making progress! This time I received the message after completing the whole form, that I was placed on a waiting list and will be sent a scanner when selected. The form is 5 pages and took no more than 5 minutes to answer all the household information. I am excited to see what happens!
Don’t forget – today is Friday and that means it’s Mega Swagbucks Day! The big deal is that instead of winning 10, 20, 100 or 200 swagbucks, you might win 1000 or 2000!
If you are not familar with Swagbucks, it is basically a search engine which gives “bucks” randomly as you search the internet as you normally would. What could be easier? Do what you normally do online except now use swagbucks for your searches. Downloading the toolbar makes it easier because it is always at your fingertips. Plus, with the toolbar, you also receive emails from the swag guy containing codes in them which can be entered on the homepage and redeemed for swagbucks. There are also special offers available to complete (many of them free) which also yield swagbucks!

Blogging resources – there are so many available, how do you choose? I usually want to hear from someone who has used the product with success.

31 Days to Build a Better Blog is a downloadable workbook giving 31 tasks to be done over a 31 day period. Each day consists of a task (something to do) and teaching ( the hows and whys of the task you are given to do).
Blogging resource – great! But, how do you use this workbook?

- 1 Task a Day
- 1 Task a week

I tried to do 1 task per day but often I was not able to accomplish this goal. But, that makes this type of program great – you can work at your own pace.
