Paper routes out, Google AdSense in

Paper routes out, Google AdSense inLet's just ignore that whole babysitting, paper routes and mowing the lawn genre that makes most teenagers a little spending money. SEO has increasingly become an area where teens can report on what they like (or dislike).

Chloe Spencer stopped by the BlogHer Conference to talk a little about her venture into the world of SEO, Blogs, and Google AdSense. Chloe started a website called the "Ultimate Neopets Cheats Site". Early last year when she was 15 she started the site and actually researched keywords through WordTracker and Google Suggest to find out the popular search terms for the Neopet category so she knew what exactly to write on. Since then she pulls in about $20 - $30 per day through AdSense, working far less hours than she would babysitting to make the same amount.

Chloe's little part time venture shows us that as long as we are passionate about a topic, do our research, and stick to developing it, rewards are right around the corner. There might be a little shortage in the paper route sector but hey, they too should keep up with the times.

Microsoft Student 2007

Student 2007Microsoft's Student software seems to get better every year, and helps kids (even college kids) get better grades by pooling resources and keeping homework easy. The product covers math, helps with foreign languages, helps with papers, and doing research. ZDNet reviewer Laurie Bouck says that the new version (2007) requires Microsoft Office to use all its features, which is unfortunate, but shouldn't pose too much of a problem, since most people have it. She also does like the fact that Tech Support is not included for the product, which is a deal breaker for some folks who would rather not have to babysit their kid's software. At $69.95 for a piece of software, I wouldn't expect much. Other than those few caveats, Microsoft's Student line has been great, and this year's looks good as well.

Take and share notes online with stu.dicio.us

student note and schedule trackerSorry to be the bearer of bad news, but for those readers that are in school, the new semester is coming up fast. So grab a hold of your laptop and check out stu.dicio.us.

stu.dicio.us has the potential to become a students dream. It's an online note taking site. Students can publicly save notes and manage class schedules. It's a dream to use. No thinking required, which comes in handy after late nights of studying or partying.

Schedules are easily entered, tracking class name, day, time, school, and professor. You can also input to-dos, which make it easy to remember things that you have to do for the day. The Notes section in stu.dicio.us is pretty powerful. Users can search for notes in the database based on their particular subject or class. Making it extremely useful if you forgot or missed something from a lecture. Notes in the system can be exported in HTML or DOC formats for viewing, storing and printing.

When more people sign up for stu.dicio.us and use it more to store notes, I can see this as an extremely useful and beneficial online tool for students worldwide.
