Free hosting or paid hosting, in fact depend on your blogging orientation. For me, as far as we can use free hosting, why we should spend money to pay for hosting. For paid review blog, I indeed still focussed in free hosting blog. But after some incident I got warning from wordpress and also from blogger, I think, for long-term planning, indeed we better used personal hosting.

As one of my best friend said, everything need process, none could come suddenly. Suddenly blog have Page rank 4, have many visitors, dollar came automatically to paypal. I was still lucky, when booming paid review at mid 2007, I have had savings blog that have Page rank 3-4. And after almost six months run effective in paid review, one by one blog was affected by the impact of page rank reduction. Several blogs currently declined from Page rank 3 to 0. In fact, almost paid review program required page rank.

Paid review, although in relatively short time if compared to Adsense which have spend more times, I acknowledged paid review have contributed revenue to my savings account. But I refused if all I got came suddenly. Although I just began paid review 6 month ago, but the process already more than two years. And for two years, there was any bored periods, frustrated, lost hope, because of the power that has been dismissed, also the cost, incomparable with the income that has been received.
