Search Your Way To Riches

Well, not exactly RICH rich, but you may be able to earn a little money on the side. If you haven’t heard of Slash My Search, now is the time to check it out. You get to earn money for making Slash My Search your browser homepage, with every online search you perform and for referring people to the system AND get commission for each search activity that is undertaken by people referred by you.

I don’t know about you, but I search a lot daily but since joining Slash My Search, I have removed Google Search from my Bookmark to replace it with Slash My Search so that I will get paid for every search I perform. Although the payout is low, it is better than my AdSense.

What I really use Slash My Search for is to search for eBay typos. This is the only way to find bargains on eBay. You may be surprised that a small typo can make a huge difference in the traffic. And in bidding on auctions, the less traffic the better it is for us! Try it out and tell me what you think!

Two 50-word Interim Posts

Did you know that Blogitive has finally enforced the new requirement of having TWO minimum 50-word NON-PAID posts between two of Blogitive’s offer?

To me, it does not matter if the required interim post is a minimum of 50 or 100 words, it is still ONE idea used. There for, to have two interim posts means two ideas used, even if they are only a short 50-word post. By the way, I don’t remember writing an original post that is shorter than a hundred words. As far as I know, all my original posts are at least a hundred words, with some running up to 400 – 500 words.

I was telling a friend that I am finding it increasingly difficult to write sponsored posts because of all the new requirements from the various paid to blog platforms. It is more so when Blogitive may not have offers for a whole week and then when they do have offers, they come in droves. As the saying goes, “When it rains, it pours.”

So I am finding it stressful to meet these requirements AND also maintain the quality of my interim posts. Like I mentioned before, my blog may be interspersed with sponsored posts but I am not going to compromise on the quality of my blog, whether the posts are original posts or sponsored. I strive to publish well-written articles every time.

Well, I guess I just have to play the game by its rules or I will be booted out.

Bollywood Video Sharing Site

If you have been searching for Bollywood Videos on YouTube, then you have been searching at the wrong place. For fans of Bollywood, AapkaVideo.com is the gold mine.

Browsing through AapkaVideo is a breeze, especially if you are already familiar with YouTube and other similar video sharing sites as all videos are neatly placed into categories and tagged.

I love it that I can always view the latest video additions as soon as I log into AapkaVideo so that I do not have to spend time to search for the newly uploaded videos.

Currently, AapkaVideo is running a monthly promotion where the person who uploads the most popular video in a particular month will win an iPod. That is awesome, isn’t it?

Show Me Some Linky Alexa Love

I’m sure all bloggers have shown some linky love to other blogs but did you know that you can go one step further by showing some Alexa love too? To do so, whenever you add a link to your blogroll or sidebar, you can add this prefix to the URL:

http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?http://

This way, whenever the URL is clicked on, Alexa will be able to record the incoming traffic for this particular URL and hence raising its Alexa traffic rank.

Of course, there are a few other tips and tricks to raise one’s Alexa traffic rank but by adding this prefix to the web address, you are actually NOT manipulating the statistics, just letting Alexa know of an incoming click and aiding Alexa in recording the click and better tracking of traffic.

If you do show me linky love, which I hope you will (please, pretty please!), do remember to add the prefix to my URL like this:

http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?http://journal.cyberpartygal.com/

Online Memorial

When I was searching for a memorial company recently for a friend, I came across an Online memorial website that helps people in grieve share their loss of a loved one online.

Registry of Life is a subscription based website where the dead could live on virtually forever. I think this is a great service, especially for families which have settled down in countries far and wide. With an online memorial, anyone with an internet access could share and honor a loved one who has passed on.

Setup is easy and the family could opt to have the memorial page private or public. At only $49.95, it is a small price to pay to have the memory of our loved ones live forever.

Seattle, WA. – The passing of a loved one is difficult but can bring many an opportunity to find meaning and strength. Registry of Life.com – a new Web site developed by clinical psychologist Dr. Wayne Dees – provides an interactive way to share memories, stories, and photos of loved ones long after they are gone.

Registry of Life.com is an online memorial honoring and celebrating the lives of loved ones who have passed away. Providing a link from the past to the present, the Registry provides a legacy in words, pictures and even music accessible by family, friends and future generations.

The one-time fee opens the door to a lifetime dedication and allows families and friends to upload memories, share stories, and find strength together, forever.

“As a result of counseling many grieving individuals and understanding how difficult it is for many to tolerate the painful emotions of mourning – it’s wonderful to have a place where families can honor their loved ones, share their memories, and continue their legacy,” explains Dr. Wayne Dees, creator of Registry of Life.com.

Registry of Life.com also features articles on bereavement and loss as well as recommended reading to help individuals cope with the normal but often difficult emotions that arise when dealing with loss: shock, denial, anger, guilt, sadness, and depression, while also helping the griever to move on through awareness, acceptance, and hope.

Registry of Life.com includes suggested readings that can help individuals find a productive means of coping, and more importantly, help their loved ones live on forever through their memories and images. Using the Registry can also be a great tool to help educate future generations about their family’s history.

“The Registry can help individuals in coping with the grieving process and to tell the life stories of their loved ones in words, pictures and music,” adds Dees. “We want people to have the opportunity and ability to commemorate the accomplishments and memories that celebrate life rather than focusing on loss.”

Reviews From Test Freaks

I was looking for mp3 players recently. There are so many brands out there that I got confused and ended up not buying one.

My friend told me to hold my horses. He said that Testfreaks is launching soon and I can use the site to compare all the brand name mp3 players in the world at the comfort of my home.
