The latest craze - micro projector/s

Its not often a complete new type of technology hits the news - perhaps a new type of motor car engine, a new battery perhaps. But this month it seems the halo resolves around the micro projector. This tiny mini projector (this example I am looking at is from 3M) features all the sort of features you would expect to see in a normal projector, a pretty good contrast ratio, an average resolution and a good lamp life. Now of course the values are all a lot smaller than your typical everyday large corporate projector but this thing fits in your hand - its literally that small it will fit in the palm of your hand. Thats often why they get called pico projectors or pocket projectors - we cant wait to try out the next one!

Number of people bitten by the “make money online” bug is growing by the day. No big deal,I would say,given all the options available to make an extra buck or two. Some even make the decision to earn a living completely from home. Layoffs have become common so to say.Far too many folks are sick and tired of dealing with major companies and random lay-offs. You simply never know when it might be your turn to go. Quite naturally you will turn to the “make money online business” bandwagon. There are many alternative choices. You can launch a web site and manage it from the comfort of your home. While others dabble in adsense and make cash off of daily web traffic. Believe it or not, there is a great deal of money to be made this way.

It’s crucial to consider what you need to avoid if your goal is making money online. Along with all the wonderful options at your fingertips, there are scams galore. I can’t tell you how many scammers I’ve spotted online selling their hoopla. They will present a great sales copy about making money online. Virtually all of them will tell you how much can be made on the web if you do this and this, and then they proceed to pitch a product they’re selling. This is where you have to stop and think for a moment. If they can really make so much cash doing what they’re encouraging you to do, then why are they spending their time and effort pitching something to you? Wouldn’t they be off making money online themselves? Instead they’ve chosen to sell a gimmicky product, which basically just amounts to some information. Obviously they weren’t doing to well.

A sure sign of scam is a guarantee about earning big time. This very information can be obtained by taking the pains to search the net and doing a bit of research. It’s all free. Begin by contemplating how you want to start making money online and what aspect of web-business you’d excel at.

Small but Cheap? Daihatsu Charade

Filed under: Bloggers, Auctions + Sales, Blogroll @ 10:17 am

If you are the sort of person who is short but likes cheap things and economic savings then I would thoroughly recommend you think about used daihatsu charade’s for sale. I picked one up at a Used Daihatsu Auction about 20 days ago and it is my new favourite toy - mainly because it was so cheap to buy I had enough money left to stick a spoiler on it and buy a whole new soundsystem that is so loud it shakes the small daihatsu’s car windows - even the windscreen - pretty cool eh? So if you haven’t got a ton of cash or you just want a solid cheap small car to run then its all about the daihatsu charade sale its well worth sticking around and finding a decent one that is cheap and in good nick - will save you later on!

Antiquity Markets

I have been investigating the uk antiquity market and have found some fairly significant findings. It turns out that antiques, collectables and memorabilia are actually almost as popular as art as a genre. There is as much traffic hitting uk art shops as there is hitting uk antique shops on the net. This is a turn up for the books as most people would consider art to be the more modern medium and primarily provide the most traffic. As it turns out Collectable art such as collectable comics score quite highly amongst collectables, followed shortly by more recent art and graffiti such as banksy collectables. Personally I usually opt for a more old type of collectable such as paintings or furniture - in fact I personally own a lot of antique furniture, but I suppose they come more under antiques than under collectables. Memorabilia comes in as third out of the three, providing just 1/3 of the traffic the other two each get - which might suprise all the sports cards and autograph collectors out there!

URL Cloaking the Go

Have you been blocked from other sites and now are looking at URL cloaking? This is a common problem on craigslist where advertisers continuously get their ads blocked because their domain name is black listed. Well, with url masking, aka cloaking, there is a way around this. All you need to do is use a third party website that offers domain redirection services. There are quite a few out there, but some of the better ones are:

  • Shorten.ws
  • TinyURL.com

My favourite is shorten.ws because like TinyURL, it’s free to use, add free but also allows me to enter up to 50 url’s at once. So there you go, try url cloaking to get to those sites you were previously blocked on.

Do-Follow for More Reader Activity

Filed under: Better Marketing, Bloggers, Blogroll @ 6:21 pm

The do-follow, or I-follow, movement has caused a resurge of blogs without the ‘nofollow’ link attribute applied to all comments. Since being introduced in 2005 by Google, the nofollow attribute is now added by default to any reader submitted links on many popular blog platforms. Removing the attribute is advocated by many bloggers.

Nofollow

Google introduced the nofollow attribute in 2005 to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results, and reducing spam in general. It was designed by Matt Cutts and Jason Shellen from Blogger.com webspam team. Its effect was described to remove the PageRank value of the link.

Different search engines treat links with nofollow differently. Google does not count the link as a vote, or index the target page if previously not indexed. Officially Google does not even make a note of the existence of the target page. Yahoo! follows the link, and may index the page, but the link won’t give more value to the target. Other search engines may, or may not care about the attribute at all.

Some links have been tagged nofollow in Wikimedia software since the introduction in 2005, but site wide adding of nofollow to all external links in the English language Wikipedia happened only in January 2007. Blogger included the attribute in comments and backlinks from early on. It was included by default in Wordpress comments from version 1.5 forward.

Do-Follow

Lately, especially after the introduction of nofollow to Wikipedia, nofollow has begun to be seen also as a negative thing. On blogs, commenting on other blogs has always been a way to market one’s own blog, and after the introduction of nofollow, this has been less effective. Some bloggers claim that they now see a higher amount of spam comments, allegedly because to get the same effect spammers need to spam more.

Before nofollow those who comment regularly on a blog would also get many backlinks for free. Now that most blogs are nofollow, there is less reason to become a regular, or to comment at all. The do-follow movement consists of bloggers, who wish to reward, and encourage commenting by giving back comments their backlink value.

How to Join

On Wordpress blogs there are many plugins for removing the attribute. Some plugins offer extra features, like nofollow for first time comments, or nofollow for old comments. The customizable nature of Wordpress templates, and plugins has brought many solutions to this problem. The most popular of the plugins can be found with a Google search for ‘do-follow Wordpress’.

If you have a Blogger blog, making it do-follow is as easy as removing each occurrence of “rel=’nofollow’” in the template. The template can be modified from ‘Blogger Dashboard’, under ‘Template’ - ‘Edit HTML’. The ‘Expand Widget Templates’ checkbox has to be checked to see the posts section of the code.

After you have removed nofollow from your blog comments, remember to tell it to your readers. When they know they are rewarded for their commenting, they are more likely to share their thoughts. They might even bookmark your blog, and return again. All this simply because you can make them fell their opinions are valued.

skateboarding vs driving a car

I always loved skateboarding, the freedom, the ability to piss off everyone else because they couldn’t do it or they were too old to appreciate it outside their house. But now alas a new thing has entered my life. Cars, the automobile, my motor - but not just mine - my new obsession is Cars. V8’s and GT’s, cabriolets and Carboretors, Classics’s and Workhorses.

Once you hear a Ferrari you’ll know what all the fuss is about. The single second you hear that sound, that wonderful sound - the rev’s that don’t stop before you hit god with your rev counter. 10+ thousand revolutions a second is enough to give gordan brown a new face. Maybe we should buy him one? make him park it outside his house and get out every morning for the tv cameras - he could probably pay for half the car with money from you’ve been framed videos of him getting out of the car!
