Get the word out

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Getting your website noticed these days is a large task that you can attack in several ways. You can submit it to directories and search engines, you can use Pay Per Click advertising or you can get everyone talking about it.

Well, getting everyone talking about your site is far easier than you thought - all you need to do is to use one of the most effective word of mouth marketing methods available today -and that is Bloggers. Getting your site noticed and talked about by bloggers used to be pretty difficult - but with services like Pay Per Post you can find bloggers all over the world who will create the buzz and get the word out about your site.

Now, as a blogger, getting paid to do what I love to do is why I really like PPP - I simply log in every few days, and look at the opportunities that are available to me. If I find one that fits my site, I simply write a post and best of all I get paid for it. Getting paid to do what I love to do makes me a few $$ so that I can cover things like my hosting of my site. I am pretty fussy about the opportunities I pick up and have only made a few hundred $$. The bit of money I have made is a bonus to me and I usually buy myself something with any money I make. If you have a blog - why not sign up and see if it cannot give you some spending money!

Buy your own Nation

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

No longer do you need to be a multi-millionare megalomaniac to own your own country - you can make your mark in the virtual world and Buy a nation of your own. Now you are probably wondering why anyone would want to buy even a virtual nation and the answer is simple.

You get to own the nation on a world map that links to your website. Not only do you get a link, but you can also put a picture on the map to represent your country.

Yes, over the last few years we have seen pixel advertising sites the first was the Million Dollar site, but this has to be one of the most exciting and innovative Plxel sites since the first.

I am currently looking at some of the smaller nations and considering buying one myself!

BoxedArt Web Templates

Monday, May 7th, 2007

Everyone who has a website is on the lookout for layout or design. Some people spend hours painstakingly creating their website, spending many hours in the process only to end up with something that is either not that great or ends up with pages that take about a week to download on your broadband connection.

When it comes to web design it is often cheaper in terms of time, effort and end result to outsource the design part so you can get on with creating your content. Outsourcing can be done in several ways from paying a designer to create something for you or by finding someone offering Website Templates. When it comes to Templates there are a few places around where you can go to get great templates, but there are not that many where you can get a great Web template at a great price!

Well, lets face it, some places charge upwards of $50 for a template. What would you say if I told you that for less than the cost of a single Web Template that you could purchase a subscription and get access to over 1,000 templates. Not only do you get access to a huge number of templates in over 30 different categories, you also get access to around 700 Flash Templates in the same Categories as well.

For my money, I would much rather buy a subscription and get access to a library of several thousand templates and other graphics with unlimited downloads for the subscription period than blow my dough on a single template.

It doesn’t stop there - there are a lot more benefits to be had as well - you can not only subscribe and download an unlimited number of web templates and Graphics, but you can also join their affiliate program. Think about it - every time someone subscribes by following an affiliate link on your website you earn some money! It is easy to sign up, and even easier to get paid!

In loving Memory of….

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

… Me!

We do not often think or consider that we are all have a limited time on the Earth and it is normally only when we lose a loved one we realise how much they meant to us. We all wish we could have had 1 more day, the chance to say I’m sorry or just to share a joke with a friend. While it is not (directly) possible, there is now a way where you can leave a message for loved ones when you are no longer here.

People have been doing this for a long time in may ways, from making a video or home movie, to writing a letter and having it stored by your Laywer but now there is a new way to send a message from beyond. The concept is simple and easy to do.

Not only can you send a message, but you could even write your own Obituary and have it deliverd once you are gone. This may sound a little morbid to some, but lets face it, You are the only one who knows how you would like to be remembered. The system is simple - sign up and create your “messages from beyond” and then follow the instructions for sending the message. They have all sorts of safeguards so that a message is not sent until the pre-defined rules you set out are met. With a service such as this that is dealing with a very emotive issue they have to take all reasonable care to ensure that a message is not delivered unless it has to be.

Not only can you leave a message, but you could also leave instructions for your service - one example is that you could write your own poem for your funeral service.

Safe and Secure

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

While looking for a zip program, today I came across Secure ZIP. This site offers a fully functional Free Zip program. I followed the instructions on the page, entered my email address and a few minutes later I had the download link in my inbox. I clicked on the link and started the 12Meg download.

Ok, I am thinking to myself why would someone be giving away this software - when other similar programs cost a fair bit. Then I noticed - this is a limited time offer for everyone to get SecureZIP - the next generation ZIP. Well what would make a program “the next generation” and it was pretty clear after installing it.

Firstly, I took a look at all the different types of compressed archives you can create and access - Yes, I was impressed there are quite a lot. That alone doesnt make it next generation but the fact that it integrates into Outlook and it is pretty simple to encrypt and compress your messages which is pretty important for your data security while your email message is in-transit.

I can remember way back when the very early versions of PKZip and it was nowhere near as easy as this - the 11th version of Zip software. The company has been providing compression software for nearly as long as there has been any compression software.

The website is clear and to the point - you want to download the software - and it is right there in front of you and has been set up to promote SecureZIP. There is no indication as to how long this free offer will last so I say Grab it while you can and get a great program at a great price - you can’t get better than Free now can you!
