how to make money online

Sphere: Related Content I decided to write this article, because I feel it is relevant in today's society, where there are more and more unemployed, stay at home mothers and those who have health reasons that keep them in their homes. The topic I speak of, is can you make a living with the Internet. Is there a way that you can make money from the comfort of your home, without putting a strain on your family and your health. Can you make a reasonable income at home on your computer. The answers to all these questions is a resounding, Yes!
Create a blog.
There are many sites that provide the creation of blogs for free. Create one and maintain it regularly by posting interesting articles.As mentioned above, add your blogs to all search engines like Google, yahoo, and msn. Enlist your blogs in various ranking sites like Blogtoplist, Alexa ranking, Blog Topsites, etc; this is to advertise your blogs.Utilize all available gadgets in the internet to maximize your exposure to internet users. You can become a member of blogging communities like Entrecard, MyblogLog, Twitter, Social Sparks, and many more.Every three months or so, Google will be ranking your blog. If you had done well in the above-mentioned areas, you'll be assigned a page rank. As your readership increases, your ranking increases too.
The internet has been the great place for the profit and earning . The google boom and followed by yahoo , MSN and Adbrite . The publishers of the most trafficked and busy sites have been busy in pocketing dollars for the every traffic and pay per click Advertisements shown on their sites . But the poor site owners and the bloggers who have low traffic or visitors have to wait for months to collect their revenue which was earned from the site advertisements . But thanks to parking sites such as godaddy.com , Sedo.com , name drive and parked.com , the domainers have been able to earn the revenue from the ads shown on their domains . You do not need to purchase hosting or spend a lot on the web design and we developers when you can start earning simply from the purchasing the domains and parking them on the sites which are most visited .
As the Web grew in popularity, obtaining highly desired domain names became competitive and people began grabbing up these domains and parking them with the sole intent of selling them later to someone who actually wanted to build content under that domain name. This became an industry unto itself and domain reseller sites sprang up where people could park and resell the domains they had registered.
Finally, as these parked domains began showing up in search engines or as a result of someone typing a domain directly into the browser, people figured out how to make money on the parked domain while waiting to sell it. This, in turn, became another industry, known as monetized domain parking.

Three Bangladeshi cos selected for Dow Jones SAFE-100 index

Sphere: Related Content Three Bangladeshi companies have qualified to be enlisted in the Dow Jones index from South Asian region, an achievement that will help to elevate the image of Bangladesh.

"The Dow Jones SAFE 100 index was launched on Wednesday but we still don't know the names of the three companies qualified for the prestigious index," said AB Siddiqui, chief executive officer of Chittagong Stock Exchange.

The index was introduced at the annual general meeting of South Asian Federation of Exchanges (SAFE) held in Abu Dhabi on March 10-11.

The companies would definitely among the top ones in the country as it is a blue chip index of Dow Jones, he said.

A support staff of Dow Jones confirmed this reporter through e-mail that the initial selection of 100 companies for the Index has been completed but declined to provide the names of three Bangladeshi companies as the data is available to licensees only.

The index measures the performance of the 50 largest Indian stocks and 50 of the largest stocks traded in Bangladesh, Mauritius, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The index includes three Bangladeshi, five Mauritian, 39 Pakistani and three Sri Lankan stocks.

This is the first time an index has been created to measure the performance of blue-chip companies in five of the eight member states of the SAFE, Mr Siddiqui said.

Fifteen stock exchanges from eight countries are the members of SAFE and companies from five countries are eligible to be included in the index.

The benefit of being qualified for inclusion in such an index is that it would enhance the scope of attracting more foreign funds, he said.

"At the same time the index will also give a positive signal to international investors about the economic performance of the region," he explained.

The SAFE started working on launching the index in 2006 and eventually signed a partnership agreement with the Dow Jones later.

The index would be aimed at measuring and reflecting performance of leading stocks of the prominent market sectors, listed with the SAFE member exchanges, and would highlight its investment potential.

"The index can also serve as an underlying tool for developing new investment products like derivatives in the region," said Mr Siddiqui.

Dow Jones selects 100 Indian and 100 non-Indian companies from a pool of stocks on quarterly basis and the selection list suggests possible additions or deletions at the next composition review. The stocks are selected based on their rankings by market capitalization.

Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes after launching the index earlier said it would provide accurate, transparent and reliable performance measures of leading companies in this region.

"South Asia is home to some of the most rapidly evolving financial markets worldwide. By further developing securities markets and aiming at their regional and international integration the South Asian Federation of Exchanges has been contributing significantly to these developments," he said.

Aftab Ahmad Chowdhury, managing director and CEO of Islamabad Stock Exchange and secretary general SAFE said, "The index showcases the region as one asset class and can thank to its superior methodology being used as an underlying tool for investment products on national and international level alike."

The SAFE 100 index is calculated in US dollars and it is weighted by float-adjusted market capitalisation. The weighing of each country in the index is capped at 50 per cent, each component is capped at 10 per cent subsequently.

The Dow Jones SAFE Indexes are rebalanced annually in March. Their free-float factors, shares and weight factors are reviewed quarterly in March, June, September and December every year.

Dhaka stocks again in negative territory

Sphere: Related Content Dhaka stocks inched down Monday amid heavy price fluctuation ending a two-day market rally.

Beginning with an upward trend, the trading at the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) seesawed throughout the whole session.

The benchmark index, however, were in positive territory for about half an hour just starting of the mid session. Before recovering some points from around mid session, it lost 21 points at one stage because of selling pressure from the retail investors.

The benchmark DSE General Index (DGEN) closed at 2563.69 with a slight fall of 4.1 points. The All Shares Price Index (DSI) finished at 2132.56 with the meager drop of 3.42 points and the DSE-20 blue chip index ended at 2086.62 with the fall of 11.95 points.

The market could have fallen further, but the continuous buying support from the institutional investors helped the market end slightly down, according to stock brokers.

"The retail investors sold shares for booking profit while some who still remain wary about the market stability released shares for minimising the losses," said a stock broker requesting not to be named.

The DSE monitored the trading throughout the whole session to avert any big sale from the brokerage houses and make the market stable, sources said.

"The merchant bankers and brokers as well should play active role for boosting the sagging investors' confidence through motivating them," said Salahuddin Ahmed Khan, former DSE chief executive officer.

However, it is a positive sign for the market that the institutional investors were back in the market that saw downslide over the last six straight weeks, he added.

The top sellers among the financial institutions were AB Bank, Haji Ahmed Brothers Securities Limited, Shahjalal Islami Bank, Wifang Securities, CMS Securities, Moshihor Securities, LRK Securities, EPL and Shakil Rijvi Stock Limited.

The top buyers were ICB, Lanka Bangla, Multi Securities and Investment Limited, PFI, IDLC, NCC, SES Company, Al-Muntaha Trading Company, Dhaka Bank and Alliance Securities.

Through ICB, Sonali Bank, Janata Bank, Agrani Bank and Sadharan Bima Corporation continued to buy shares for the third straight day, helping keep the market afloat.

The total turnover increased to Tk 2.88 billion against the previous day's Tk 2.63 billion while the market capitalisation remained steady at Tk 994.52 billion.

Titas Gas was the turnover leader for the third consecutive day with shares worth Tk 138.02 million traded on the day.

The next other turnover leaders were Golden Son, EHL, Beximco Pharma, Aftab Automobiles, Keya Detergent, BSRM Steel, Atlas Bangladesh, Beximco and S Alam Cold Rolled Steel Mills Limited.

Rahman Chemical, a low profile Z-category issue, had the day's biggest gainer posting a rise of 17.20 per cent.

The other next top gainers were Purabi General Insurance, BSRM Steel, BD Autocars, Padma Cement, BLTC and Jute Spinning.

The top losers were Sreepur Textile, Quasem Textile, Ranga Food, Saleh Carpet, Alpha Tobacco, Alamin Chemical and Bengal Fine.

Time is ripe for BASEL II implementation: Experts

Sphere: Related Content FE Report

Implementation of the Basel II accord, the latest version of capital standards for banks worldwide, is needed to face the challenges that lies ahead against the backdrop of a global financial meltdown, speakers said in a seminar on Monday.

They pointed out that this was the perfect time for adopting the new capital adequacy norms for maintaining risk management capabilities commensurate with the risks of their business.

Such initiative would help promote successful development of country's capital market and prepare the local financial institutions to safely navigate through to future, they opined.

They were speaking at a seminar titled 'BASEL II and its Implications for Bank Capital Raising' organised jointly by the World Bank and the Citibank NA Bangladesh.

Speaking as chief guest, adviser to the prime minister (economic affairs) Dr. Mashiur Rahman said, "This is the right moment to implement the Basel II accord considering the severity of the ongoing global financial downturn."

Reforms in the banking sector are imperative in dealing with the external shocks, he added.

"We have to be prepared to face the challenges in the years to come and adaptation of Basel II will help the banks to manage their risks," he said adding that the local banks were doing well even in the global financial crisis.

The standard of the country's banking sector is now not less than what is required under the Basel II, Mashiur argued.

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman Faruq Ahmad Siddiqi, World Bank Country Director Xian Zhu, Citi's Asia Pacific head of Investment Banking Dan McNamara and Citi Country Officer Mamun Rashid attended the seminar.

Faruq Ahmad said, "The challenge for the smaller banks is to raise their capital base by aligning their banking services to international standards amid the global financial crisis," he said adding that however, the banks can raise capital through declaring stock dividends and issuing rights shares for their shareholders.

Basel II will encourage the banks to use modern risk management techniques as well as to enrich their risk management capabilities, he said.

Xian Zhu said, "I would like to emphasize that the challenges of implementing Basel II are heightened in turbulent financial markets, and its transition must be managed carefully to mitigate any unintended effects."

To manage the risks of transition to Basel II, advanced approaches are to be phased over one to two years, during which time Basel I continues to be applicable, he added.

"Lots of debates surround the role of Basel II in the context of ongoing global crisis. Experts argue that the framework was not fully implemented in many of the jurisdictions in the summer of 2007 when the turmoil started unfolding the weakness of the financial markets," Zhu said.

For bank's capital adequacy requirement, the Bangladesh Bank has already introduced the Basel II from January this year.

The new Basel accord has been prepared on the basis of three pillars: minimum capital requirement, supervisory review process and market discipline.

Three-types of risks - credit risk, market risk and operational risk-have to be considered under the minimum capital requirement.

For credit risk measurement, new framework provides two different methods- standardised approach and internal ratings-based approach.

More than 100 countries have so far announced intentions to implement Basel-II during the stipulated timeframe. Neighbouring countries like Pakistan and India are in the process of adopting the Base II accord.
