(Blog radio) What Is The Buzz About Cash Gifting?
No commentsBy Tyler James Ellison
You may have heard about the hottest craze that is sweeping the Internet today and it is called Cash Gifting! Although it’s been around before the Internet, it has now become the most sought after, money making program out there!
So what is it about? You can send a gift to anyone you wish (including cash) legally and up to $12K each, to any number of people, and none of these gifts will be taxable (according to the IRS tax codes last revision in 2007).
How can you tell if any of these programs are legal or not since they all claim that they are? Although they all seem to be ethical programs on the outside, claim to follow the law, you have to think about this! If it is really legal for anyone to gift someone else according to the tax codes, can I also expect it is legal to promote the same to others, to gift as well?
Not at all! Why? If you were going to send someone a gift for whatever reason, would you also ask these same people to send you a gift in return? I think not! Now I am no lawyer but here is how I read the law! Yes it is alright to send anyone you wish a gift, even money, however if you request that person to do the same, even if you are not asking or implying they send you anything back in return, you are still soliciting to get others to do the same!
This is considered a business transaction and it does not matter if a person signs a gifting disclaimer or a non-solicitation form, it is still illegal!
Another problem is this. I am sure you have seen on YouTube and on websites people opening countless number of overnight envelopes, pulling out a magazine that had an envelope stuff inside full of cash.
Each of these people would count hundreds of dollars in front of their video camera to prove that their gifting program does work! Well to be totally honest, they do work but here is the legal problem. Is it also legal to send cash in the mail or by FedEx or others? Not one bit! To prove this point, just read any of their Terms and Conditions with each carrier service and tell me what you find out?
Here are the Federal Express Terms and Conditions which state: Prohibited Items: You are prohibited from tendering the following items for shipment, and they will not be accepted: CASH, currency, collectible stamps and coins. So what does this mean? NO CASH - NO CURRENCY - Period!
There you have it, the law is the law! Why take a risk doing something illegal, getting caught or even prosecuted? If you are already in a cash gifting program and you are using any of the above mentioned illegal techniques, I would jump ship while you can, seek another that at least follows the law! Consider what knowledge cost, it is your best teacher.

By Robin Matuk
You are probably already well aware of how you need to create an Internet presence for your website in order for it to be profitable. Because the goals of search engine optimization lie in making your site well-known, well-visited, and income-generating, you need to exhaust as many resources as possible to drive the success of your SEO campaign.
Have you ever considered blog commenting as part of your SEO plan of attack? Unbeknownst to many, the blog world or the blogosphere has become a haven for webmasters and successful SEO strategists. Blogs today have evolved to being mere online journals and daily chronicles, into powerful marketing tools that many are profiting from. As of the year 2007, Technorati and Businessweek reported more than 15.5 million active blogs around the world. With these stats, they also presented that about 1.3 million posts are made on blogs per day.
You can only imagine how commenting on a blog can greatly benefit your SEO campaign. Here are some tips to help you out with your site’s SEO:
1. Before you jump into the blog commenting wagon, you should first choose a blog site and register an account.When you pick a username, make it as relevant to your site as possible. Avoid using vague SEO keywords, and always use English in selecting a username for generality. You may even use the domain name if you wish. Only those with registered accounts on a blog portal can make comments on active blogs.
2. Whenever you land on a blog, read its content, and think about making a comment, always have your SEO in mind.If your site is on a certain niche, such as skin care products for instance, you can search Google for as many skin care blogs as you can. When making a comment on a blog entry, you can place a link for your website so other fellow blog readers can easily link to yours. Even more possible visitors will be driven to your site if the blog you commented on has many RSS subscribers. Every update on that blog informs the RSS subscribers that something interesting will be worth reading.
3. Make your post sensible. Don’t just click on the “post” or “comment” button with something uninteresting and irrelevant typed in the text box. Provide useful insights on the blog you have just read, and add your website link, inviting others who are interested to check it out. There is a code of conduct that all writers of blog comments should follow, and it pays to be in the know so as to avoid spamming and unnecessary posts.
Blog commenting is truly an effective means of link building and site promotion. The more comments you make on related blogs in your niche, the higher the traffic you generate for your site. Try to maintain a regular schedule of blog commenting, and always keep in mind the quality of your posts. Have these blog commenting hints in mind, and you can be link building in no time.
