Wade into the Affiliate Program Niche

2009-05-26T06:34:00.000-07:00

Surfing a ton of pages in traffic exchanges I got myself tempted to join a promising affiliate program, even if I've never tried one. Now I'm a very happy member especially from the $125 Cash sign-up bonus. It might sound too good to be true but with the proof-board page, plus all the nice feedback across different forums on the web, make it real. Plus it's easy to promote, even for a newbie affiliate program starter like me. Check out the program here.

Good Traffic exchanges for results

2009-05-26T06:26:00.000-07:00

Traffic exchanges are popping all around. What are the best ones for great results? Try Traffic-Splash, it has one of the biggest membership base in the industry. And a whole lot of members there are active. I find that my pages seem to get more leads on this site. Another good one to try is Traffic Witch. It doesn't have as many members as traffic-splash, but alot of its members are unique, and not on most other exchanges.

Best results with Traffic exchanges- Splash Pages

2009-05-26T06:17:00.000-07:00

Traffic exchanges are a great way for marketeers and affiliate program promoters to get leads, sales, or downlines. Some are good with them, while others find them worthless. Based on promoting alot of different sites, I say they are effective only if you promote something new, and something different. It's important to use splash pages that are catchy. I've tried using generic referral pages and splash pages, they don't get the attention as much as home-made splash pages.

I've tried using instant splash page generators, they suck. What I did was make a whole splash page pic from photoshop, get my link, and that's it. I right-clicked a simple splash page(like this for example) and viewed the page source. I copied everything and pasted on a new text document. I changed the image link and html link. I rename the text file to html and boom- there's my splash page.

Earning with Traffic Exchanges

2009-05-26T06:02:00.000-07:00

Back in the days I used to do clicking for pennies in paid-to-read and paid-to-click sites. Real paying sites there take a ton of clicks just to pay you a cent. Now I've lately been using traffic exchanges as a way to promote my sites, while also earning easy cash. Alot of traffic exchange sites give cash prizes and bonus regularly to surfers. I've been paid by several of them already(See proof), and most require only $15 in your cash balance to send you payment. One of the best sites that let you earn cash pretty quickly and pays superfast(usually in a few days) is Traffic Taxis.

Several Swedish women are making makes by going on public swimming pools topless in protest. From a group known as Bara Brost(Bare Breasts), these women are protesting the gender-bias or sexual discrimination on men's and women's swimwear.

Lingerie maker Triumph International Japan, makers of the microwaveable bra and shopping bag bra have come up with another one-of-a-kind bra that's good for the environment and at the same time enhances cleavage.

Recycled urine for spacemen

2007-10-31T08:17:00.000-07:00

Too bad for astronauts, seems like they will be privy to drinking recycled water from their own urine when they're in space. Transportation costs ofcarrying bringing drinking water through space will greatly be reduced if the urine-recycling system is used to extract drinking water. NASA is still finalizing the system to be used for purifying the urine, as there are three systems they are choosing from, or possibly incorporating together, to make the best possible system to recover clean water. So far they're able to recover 92 percent of the waste water to be made drinkable! Hopefully I'll not be around when the time comes for everyone in the world will be needing to drink this kind of water.

Bomb Explosion in Glorietta

2007-10-19T04:22:00.000-07:00

Sad news today. There was an explosion in Glorietta 2 Mall in Makati, killing sofar 8 people and injuring more than a hundred. Although a bomb still isn't confirmed, I don't think LPG tanks exploding would've cause the whole floor to collapse, with the escalators and all. The source of the explosion seems to be the storage room of the Chinese restaurant Luk Yuen noodle house. Let's pray for those who departed and hope that those responsible are caught. Guess we shouldn't frequent malls right away.
