Pay It Forward Today
By Vic on May 2, 2008 in Bloggers
If something that I have taught you has made you some cash then today might be a really good day to start paying a forward. My friend RT from Untwisted Vortex send me an email last night that was very compelling. I ask you please take a few minutes to help another blogger out by voting for these to two stories at Digg and Blogging Zoom and if you have a few dollars you can spare their is a paypal button at the bloggers website, so pls help out a few dollars will not kill you.
Below is the complete email RT send me:
Hi Vic,
If you could take a few minutes of your precious time to mention, in text of course, Lisa at gotnodough.com. I wrote about her in my latest post and then I dugg, zoomed and stumbled her post.
Her husbands sole source of income is in jeopardy. He’s a guitar instructor and his pickup truck and guitar were both stolen. I convinced her to put up a donation button and a scratchback widget and she did. I put what I could in there, but I know it’s only a trickle compared to what our fellow bloggers can provide.
Here’s the Digg URL:

Thanks the link is fixed as for the feed just one of those feedburner days LMAO!!!
Thanks, Vic, but the URL for Digg has extra characters. Everything after “happen” shouldn’t be there. Your email reader probably tacked it on.
Anyway, thanks. I really appreciate it.
My pleasure buddy just hope peeps do the right thing
Hey Vic! I just bought a 5$ Link on lisa’s Scratch back widget and i feel Damn good about it.
Go and show her some love, people!
If you do: someday the world will do to u too!
Bless you for the support

Heart breaking story. Nice job RT and Vic.

Listen Cock Sucker stop commenting on my site either I am an asshole or not so please go suck Garry Conn’s dick and stop comment trolling my site next time I will spam your fucking email you fucking loser.
Vic, thank you for sharing this. I was very happy to donate. I hope it all works out for them!
I am stoked that folks have helped out
Sending donation now.
As a guitarist and part-time guitar teacher myself, I can only imagine how depressing this can be for him. To some people it might be just a guitar but to him it was a way to provide for his family.
Thank you for taking the time and helping out
This is getting so weird. I am a guitar instructor also, have been for 10 years or so. Wow. WTF? Invasion of the Guitar Instructor Bloggers.
I can REALLY relate to this poor fellow. Man, that sucks.
LMAO!!!great hw small the world is
Que coño I was also scraping a living as a guitar teacher whilst playing in a couple of bands a yesr ago here in Spain - now I just scrape a living LMAO!!!
Man when will the US do something about their lousy weak dollar? Its almost worthless in Europe these days and guess what I get paid in?
Fucking worthless US dollars no wonder I’m always broke LMAO!!
Man it is crazy how th value has just dropped!
I just wanted to send a HUGE THANK YOU to you and RT for spreading the word about our situation and for all your great readers who have been donating and buying links. I had lost all hope for this situation, but now I’m starting to see a glimmer again and am looking forward to surprising my husband. XOXO
Lisa it is an honor to do our small part. You family is in our prayers.
Vic
Hey Lisa! , Don’t worry! . Everything will work out fine. Just believe in yourself. We’re praying for you!
I need the karma man, hope all works out. My little link purchase isn’t nearly enough, but I hope it helps. AS a poor college student it’s about all I can do, let us know how it works out Lisa or Vic.
Vic, where is BloggerUnleashed Tv??? Where did you go?
Hey, I got a question about your article submitter. You use Brad Callens software right? How many directories are on it and does it show the PR? Why do you like it better than some others? With the article submitter I use it has about 120 article directories but you can add some to it if you want. I like it alot but was wondering if there is something even better.
I fixed the url:
http://bloggerunleashed.tv/
It is the best I have found and you can also add more directories just go to the submission page. Do not pay attention to PR in article directories and link directories unless you plan to buy a link all your article submission and link submissions will always be PR0 so it does not matter more important is age and no software gives you this.
Hi Vic,
Just a quick question, I was doing my various BANS sites and was just checking on the BANS sites that I did about a couple weeks ago. Last week it was still indexed however today they seem to have disappeared from Google’s index, I did a search on Google with the url and it didn’t return anything. In Webmaster tools, it says the bot successfully accessed the page but the pages are not indexed.
I was wondering if this means the sites are deindexed ? Or is it a natural process of it being ranked ?
