Why did I flush AdBrite from my Blog ?
2008-03-01 23:28:00
I was running Kontera ContentLink? ads along with AdBrite and hoping to Maximize my AdBrite Income. But an email from my Kontera Account Manager had me realize that this is against the TOS of Kontera. Here is the detail from their memo. I took immediate action and got rid of AdBrite from my blog to avoid getting banned from Kontera. If you are running both AdBrite and Kontera, make sure to keep only one of them and get rid of the other because greed is not good. Good luck!Memo follows:I've noticed that you are running AdBrite alongside our ContentLink? ads on ghostrider30.blogspot.com. I wanted to remind you that that when you signed up to have Kontera ContentLinks? on your site, our Terms of Service stipulated exclusivity as the in-text provider:Exclusivity: Publisher will not use any other provider of ?in-text? advertising links anywhere on his web-site/s.When analyzing a webpage, our algorithm searches to find the most relevant and highest- paying keywords.

Save LDW on retal car using your credit card coverage
2008-03-01 23:02:00
All of the biggies - Visa, MasterCard , American Express, and Discover offer some sort of coverage. The main difference among the four credit card companies listed below is that MasterCard and Amex cover collisions, theft, vandalism and weather; Visa covers collisions and theft, but omits vandalism and weather; while Discover covers only collisions. However MasterCard is not useful in areas with dirt or gravel roads [paved roads only].However, details can still vary depending on the specific type (Classic, Gold, Platinum, etc.). Look for specific wording in the paperwork that they mail you with the tiny print on amazingly thin paper. Here?s an excerpt from MasterCard coverage:MasterRental will pay for covered damages on a secondary basis for which you are, or any other authorized driver is, legally responsible to the rental agency.Covered damages include:?Physical damage to and theft of the vehicle, not to exceed the limits outlined below.- Reasonable loss-of-use charges imposed by t...

Yahoo Announces Open Search Platform
2008-03-01 19:15:00
It's business as usual over at Yahoo , despite the histrionics surrounding the potential Microsoft acquisition and recent layoffs. As part of the company's ongoing efforts to showcase its search differentiation, Yahoo has unveiled an "open search platform," which gives publishers the ability to customize their results as they appear in search engine results pages (SERPs). For example, a publisher such as Conde Nast (used in Yahoo's analyst presentation) can add Miss America photos *shown on this post* , links, maps and so on to a search result. A consumer searching on "cheesecake" would see the result from Conde Nast stand out from the pack, with a photo and links to recipes and videos. Yahoo says that these customized results in no way affect algorithmic results in terms of page rankings. Translated, a customized result will not inherently elevate your ranking, but you have to figure that a more visually appealing result on a page will get more clicks, so indirectly the message i...

PlaceMyProduct.com was a scam ?
2008-03-01 05:22:00
PlaceMyProduct.com did not meet their promises and our expectations to make money with private advertising. Although I got one advertiser in a day, now they are reluctant to pay me the money.Its really frustrating to get a mail like this from the owner saying they have to cancel the payments. If any fellow blogger is interested in pursuing this with them to get our payments back, do send in your comments.Hi,I just wanted to send you an email to let you know that I'm deleting allcurrent auctions on PlaceMyProduct.com. The reason is that I'm transferringthe site to a new owner and in transition, I have to cancel anything thatmight cause a payment. I'm transferring it to someone that will have bettersuccess at marketing the site which will be better for you. I'm sure hewill send you an email to advise you of the relaunch.Thanks-- Tino Buntic416-737-0919www.placemyproduct.com

It takes about 150 attoseconds for an electron to circle the nucleus of an atom. An attosecond is 10-18 seconds long, or, expressed in another way: an attosecond is related to a second as a second is related to the age of the universe.

Top Blogs On Google Reader v/s BlogPicks

On December 25, 2007 this blog was ranked #1 on BlogPicks.Net, and today I am proud to report that my record #1 position has been retained for more than two months. This was possible only due to the support from readers like yourself.Google made it fairly easy to determine the number of Google Reader subscribers around a particular blog. This isn?t perfect because you have to think of the blog and then do a search for the stats; so some blogs may be left off. Also, some of these stats are aggregate numbers from different feeds for the same blog.Thats the reason I find BlogPicks directory helpful as compared with Google Reader as it gives me easy access to the stats like IP uniques and also in turn gets traffic from users surfing BlogPicks.You can help me maintain my #1 rank by voting my blog from the BlogPicks banner on the top of this post.

Tution FREE Education at Stanford University
2008-02-28 03:57:00
Attending Stanford University next year will be a lot more affordable for some undergraduate students.The university said Wednesday it plans to eliminate tuition for students with annual family incomes totaling less than $100,000. It also will pay most room and board for students with families making less than $60,000.Financial aid director Karen Cooper says the move comes as middle-income parents express concern about paying for a Stanford education.Stanford tuition is expected to rise to $36,000 in the fall. Room and board will cost about $11,000. About a third of the university's 6,700 undergraduates are expected to qualify for the tuition break.

Make a Fortune by Finding Lost Money
2008-02-26 03:39:00
Here's a money-making tip that most people don't think of but that can be quite profitable:Dig up what?s owed to you. There are billions of unclaimed dollars in America. They?re held by federal and state governments, as well as private companies, in the form of pensions, bonds, tax refunds, real estate and savings accounts. Unclaimed Funds is a company that supposedly helps people find their missing funds (I don't know anything about them, so I can't comment on their services either way). Their take on the situation is as follows:"There is over 400 billion dollars in unclaimed money in the United States. Each year billions of dollars become lost and unclaimed when banks, companies and governments lose track of the true owner of the money they hold due to: post office mistakes, misspelled names, business and banks that go bankrupt, unplanned changes of address, marriage breakup, unexpected job relocation, death, etc. Most adults are owed some of this money and they don't eve...

Two $40 Coupons for Digital TV switch set for early 2009

It's almost official: Starting one year from today i.e. Feb. 18, 2009, millions of televisions in American households will go black unless they're outfitted to receive all-digital broadcasts. The word about the digital television switch-over seems to be getting out to the masses, and the Federal Government has started to accept voucher applications for the digital converter boxes you'll need on February 17, 2009 if you have an analog television set.

If you cannot afford a review from ReviewMe then Review Back may be useful to you. The boys from AdGridWork have came up with a system which I am suprised hasn?t been done before now. In short, Review Back is a review exchange system whereby you write a review of another blog in exchange for a review of your blog on theirs. By browsing the bloggers listings you?ll see they have close to 100 blogs who have signed up to use them already. I can see this surpassing 1000 blogs within the next 2 months.Clearly, Review Back are targeting the lower end of the Blog osphere however, I really think this will prove to be a popular service on the whole as it?s such a simple concept and one which will fill a void that a lot of bloggers can?t afford to fill.

Make money collecting Beer Cans
2008-02-16 22:19:00
Brewing has been around for 8,000 years, and Americans have been brewing beer since 1584, but the beer can is a recent invention. On Jan. 24, 1935, 125 years after the first tin-plate can was patented in England, the American Can Company and the Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company of New Jersey put out the world's first canned beer, Krueger Cream Ale. Since then, beer cans have been manufactured in all shapes, styles, sizes, and trademarks. Beer has been sold in at least 13 sizes, from 7-oz. to 128-oz. cans; flat-top cans have always been popular, but for many years, until the 1950s, most companies used spout, or cone-top, cans. Coors Brewery introduced the aluminum can in the late 1950s, and the Pittsburgh Brewing Company, in conjunction with Alcoa, came out with the easy-open zip-top (lift tab) aluminum top in 1962. In the early 1970s, technology presented the industry, and the beer-drinking world, with the two-piece can--a solid body, and a top that can be pulled completely off us...
