I have discovered many hubbers are not familiar with internet jargon such as IRL, troll, and more. Those of you suffering from this condition please tell me what phrases and words are unfamiliar to you so that I might espouse the wisdom of the interwebs.
IRL: In Real Life. Refers to a harsh alien world theorized to exist outside of the internet and the events that take place there. This is where children are told their loved ones who are now offline have gone.
Hey! Webs are MY job!
Besides. We all know what trolls and/or trolling is around here. Why we JUST had a huge conversation about it on the forum just the other day.
vishing and linkbaiting. i hear those tossed around here and there lately...
I believe link baiting is setting up a link with propoganda so more people will click on it but I am not sure. That is more of a technical term than I am qualified to answer.
Here I can help you - it is creating a piece of content that other people are likely to link to. Like - umm - a quiz "How dumb is your ex" or something like this.
How 'bout one of those silly ads that looks like an email announcement and reads, "Someone has a crush on you! Find out who it is!"
Does that qualify?
Nah, you can call it a click bait prolly, but that's pretty much it.
Link bait is a page on your site that people in quantities link to voluntarily - post on forums and blogs, bookmark, etc - so you don't have to build backlinks yourself. You hub can qualify too
Ahhhh, now I understand! Hey thanks, Misha!

*waves legs at Misha* It's so good to see you around the forums again.

I have been here at HP for more than 3 years, and although I use the HP ad program mostly, I also use Adsense. I earn regularly with HP, but I must say that the Adsense program is the slowest paying one I have ever seen. I have yet to earn the $100 payout! I think if I live to 103...

When did you feel you "fit in" around here?How long after joining Hubpages and being consistently active did you feel you were bonding with other members and were welcomed? What made this happen and did it affect your hubs or success?

It seems to me if I promote my hubs here I will be shafted - but if I don't you will never know about me. And if you don't know me now (after two years) - you may never know me ever! So I'm not promoting my hubs - I'm merely promoting "me"! To know me is to love me - or vice versa. Anyway...

As a guest was leaving I was going to bring out a bag of trash (because I don't really like going out in the dark yard alone). There are woods around my street, and we have all the usual woodland creatures (and owls) including deer. We have coyotes too. As far as I know, we don't...

I just discovered that yesterday was my highest earning day (in both the HP program and AdSense) since I've been with the site. I was almost ready to take a break from writing here, but this gives me hope to keep going. I hope others are finding similar earnings.
