Penny Auctions gaining popularity!

Penny Auctions the new way to buy all the fancy things you ever wanted for super low prices. I recently came across a new penny auction site which is quite different from others for several reasons. The first being this is the only site to offer a separate beginners auction section where newbies can sharpen their skills. If a new registrant doesn't win within 24 hrs after registration their bids will be restored. All auctions on Deal Fun start at $0.01, so there is no need guess and second guess about the products you are interested in. There have been some unscrupulous operators in this area so I initially thought that this might be dealfun.com scam and not a genuine auction site. After I went through the website and noticed the products they have to offer, I am totally convinced that this is one of the best sites to buy a wide array of coveted products such as iPad, iPhone, Kindle, Laptops, LED TVs, PS3, Watches, Jewelry, Toys at super low prices. The products on this website usually get sold at over 95% or sometimes even 98% discount. This website doesn't mandate any weekly cap on winning. Their customer service officers are always there to help you and answer your queries courteously and explain things in a clear concise manner. Suppose you want the product, but you don't win, then you can use all the bids you have used and add some cash and buy this product. Now what are you waiting for, go to Deal Fun and get all the products you have always wanted but stopped for lack of money. Now money is not a problem at

Summer is here :)

It is that time of the year again... 100 degree days and sunshine upto 9.00 pm. It is a good time to go out and enjoy but at the same time the heat is so prohibitive it keeps us indoors most of the day. Anyway this is my finals week and then I will be working lots of hours during the next month... for now it is sitting in front of the computer and studying and during my break I create graphics like the one below.

Finding the best webhosting company!!!

Having a website is vital for the survival, growth, and prosperity of any business; large or small. People are increasingly going online to buy products, search for restaurants, get directions, find soul mates, friends, etc. With the proliferation of internet use on mobile phones the relevance of websites is more now than ever.

Having a website is not enough, one has to ensure that the hosting service provider is reliable and offers adequate bandwidth. With so many web hosting companies in the market it becomes difficult to find which one is best suited for our needs.

One way to find out if a hosting company is reliable or not is to check with people who have used their services. How is that possible? One way is to visit sites that offer webhostinghub ratings, reviews from customers and companies that have used their services.

The ratings on this website are compiled from worldwide reports, this is the largest independent web hosting rating company and is driven by a quest for quality and to provide honest and unbiased ratings. Moreover since ratings and reviews are written by direct customers there is no way of the site owners influencing the decisions.

I would simply say that if you are a small business owner and wish to host your own website, you should first read ratings of your hosting service provider and then sign the dotted line.

Hosting Your Website With a Reseller!!!

Website design, development, hosting, and search engine optimization have all become the keywords of a new breed of entrepreneurs who are trying to cash in on the viability of internet as a platform for doing business. While it is largely true that it is quite impossible for a business to succeed without a strong online presence, entrepreneurs would be better served if they are careful about where they are hosting their websites.

There are several models of website hosting service providers. There is the do-it-yourself model where the service providers just give you a username and password and you do the rest. Then there is the full service model where the service provider will register your domain, design the website and host it on his server. Often these full service models are operated by entrepreneurs who take advantage of reseller hosting.

While reseller hosting doesn't change the way you operate your business online or offline, it does matter in a variety of different ways. For example, how much of live time does your service provider offer. How quickly will their servers come back up if it goes down? How much bandwidth do they offer? How well optimized is the server for the web? The best way to decide which service provider is best suited for your need is to read user reviews and ratings. The greater number of positive reviews and five star ratings a service provider has the better it is for you.

Save on Name Brand products!!!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Bidazzled. All opinions are 100% mine.

The festival-holiday season is coming up. Are you wondering about how to buy all the name brand stuff for your kids, loved ones, and family? The economy is down and money is tight, but there are opportunities to save and celebrate well. There is a new auction site Bidazzled, where one can buy name brand products for 80% off of the retail price.

The unique features of this website is that there are no winners and losers in this auction. If you lose the auction you get a 50 bonus bids as a note of thanks. If you don't have the patience to bid and wait for the auction to get over you can purchase the items for lesser price also. In case you win and decide that you don't want the product, Bidazzled will make an offer to buy it back for cash (paypal or check). Last month two participants won Nintendo Wii's with just 5 free bids.

Still unsure how this whole auction thing works? Let me do something for you I will give you 15 Additional Bids, until January 15. All you need to do is to enter this code (BBP1202A) on the registration page, there is no obligation or cost of any kind.

Apart from all this to encourage you to spread the word among your friends Bidazzled has started a lucrative Viral Referral program too. Here is how it works
*A refers B. A receives 5 Bonus Bids
*B refers C. A receives 4 Bonus Bids
*C refers D. A receives 3 Bonus Bids
*D refers E. A receives 2 Bonus Bids
*E refers F. A receives 1 Bonus Bid.

Are you all excited? Just go to Bidazzled and get your stuff for the holiday season. Hurry you might miss some great goodies if you delay.

Canadians: $20,000 Kitchen Makeover can be yours!!!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dr. Oetker. All opinions are 100% mine.

How would you like to win a $20,000 Kitchen Makeover??? Imagine what all you could add to jazz up your kitchen with $20,000. It is easy to enter this contest, there is not entry fees or forms to fill in. All you have to do is to pick up a PIN from specially marked packages of Cass Di Mama Pizza and enter it in the website. Lo you will be automatically entered into the Dr. Oetker Kitchen Makeover Contest, the best thing about the contest is that there is no limit to the number of PINs you could enter. The more you enter the higher your chances of winning are.

Don't worry if you don't win the $20,000 grand prize you could walk away with one of the eight second prizes which include Whirlpool appliances: a fridge/ freezer, freestanding electric range, dishwasher and microwave. Then there are 2,000 consolation prizes which is a Cass di Mama Pizza or a pizza cutter. Like all other good things this contest too has some limitations. The first is that it ends on January 4, 2010. Secondly it is open only to Canadians.

While entering the contest it would be a great idea to become a member of Savoury Moments. The membership will entitle you a periodical newsletter full of fun information, more contests, tips and great savings.

Personally speaking the first thing I'd do with the $20,000 kitchen makeover would be to install fancy new counter tops, appliances and of course a large new refrigerator. This would give my kitchen a new look and also help me cook faster and better.

Make Money on Twitter!!!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Sponsored Tweets. All opinions are 100% mine.

The growth of social media is providing immensely large number of earning opportunities to enterprising individuals. I personally have been affected in a positive way by social media. My first exposure to social marketing was through payperpost, then it was social spark, and now the latest buzz in the social media marketing arena is twitter. The pioneers in social media IZEA Inc is offering a grand opportunity to make money on Twitter. You could simply sign up for sponsored tweets and start earning off of your twitter account.



Hitherto it was mainly social entrepreneurs signing up to earn a few dollars more. But with IZEA's entry into Twitter, several celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Bob Vila, Sister Hazel and Leann Rimes have jumped onto the bandwagon and are making money tweeting.

Getting sponsored tweets is not difficult, all you need to do is sign up for a twitter account and register the same with Izea. Advertisers will contact you with offers to tweet their message across your networks, you can set your own price for tweets and also for clicks. Moreover you have the choice whether or not to accept an advertiser's offer. If you are not interested in the offer you can simply refuse to tweet the message.

The more popular you are online the better this scheme works for you. So gather up all your friend's e-mail ids and invite them to follow you on twitter. The larger your followers circle, the more money you stand to make.

More Animations for the Web

New Artworks

I have been twiddling my thumbs doing pretty much nothing so I explored the web and downloaded a trail version of the Gif Animator software and played around with it. Here is one of the animations I created.

Grow your business using Internet!!!

One of the most important tools for enhancing revenues and achieving growth for a business is Internet. Internet and the innumerable possibilities it offers can be both a boon as well as a bane for small businesses. It is a boon because it brings new business and helps the company expand its presence beyond the immediate geographic area. It could be quite the opposite if one were to end up with the wrong service provider. Not the internet service provider but the back end support provider.

Having a presence in the internet needs one vital thing, a great web hosting service provider. The ideal service provider will have over 99.5 percent uptime and less than 0.5 percent maintenance time. This will ensure that your website is available for prospective clients always. To find such a service provider it is good to look up the top-10 website hosting services listing on the site by geeks for people who are confused about technology and want clarifications.

What I like about the web hosting geeks site is the comprehensive information it provides about internet, website hosting, technologies and solutions. The exhaustive and informative Blog is my favorite section by far. The blog has superb articles on various aspects of website development and hosting. There is information about what to look for in a website hosting service. I love this list because it gives me comprehensive information on how to find the right service provider.

I simply say that if you are looking for solutions, information, or just tips for managing your online presence better visit the website and you will not regret it.

Appealing Customized Gifts

Buying a gift for that special person in our life is relatively easier than deciding on one item for a 1,000 people. For example how would you decide on a giveaway for your school fundraiser? Jewelry, make up, etc would be too feminine, sporting goods would appear too boyish and gift cards too impersonal.

While recently trying to decide on prizes for a fund-raiser for a non-profit I volunteer with I hit upon this idea of giving away embroidered custom tote bags for all the volunteers and special contributors. That is when I found this website which offers several customized products. Embroidered shirts, hats, promotional items and a wide array of different products. The best part is I didn't have to step out of the house to get the products. I just visited their website and placed the order online, a few days later the products landed up at home just as I expected. The quality was superb, colors were as shown and everyone was simply thrilled.

Looking for a used car? Look no further!!!

Buying a used cars can be quite difficult, considering how dealers try to manipulate the prices, conceal the records etc. I recently came across an automobile portal on the internet which offers a completely different perspective to car sales. The site focuses on used cars, new cars, leasing and research. The unique features of this site is that you can search cars, research cars, ask questions, compare prices from various dealers, read car reviews and do a whole lot of other stuff related to cars. There is an entire section on insurance and maintenance too. In this era of websites and car dealerships which focus entirely on selling and buying here is a different portal which provides a low down on the whole gamut of things. If you are in the market for a car, used or new check it out before you sign the dotted line.

Finding Webhosting Services Made Easy

The internet has changed our lives in every aspect. The way we study, the way we talk and interact with friends, the way we do business, get jobs, find places, get directions, etc have all been influenced by the world wide web. If a business doesn't have a website then people tend to think that they are not in tune with times. Launching a website is not so simple, there are numerous things to be considered.

The most important is the web hosting company which is providing the service. With so many in the market how can we find the best service? Well in my opinion it is simple, all one needs to do is to visit check out the ratings various web hosting companies have got at Web Hosting Rating. These reviews and ratings are provided by experts based on several stringent criteria. When you go through this website you can be rest assured about the providers quality.

This website not only provides ratings of web hosting companies but is also a treasure trove of information. Being a person who uses Frontpage to design web pages I found numerous articles which are very useful to enhance my skills in website design.

In short this website provides complete information about the internet, website hosting, and related services.

Website and Hosting Solutions

I have been using the internet since the past 10-12 years and have seen how the world wide web has evolved. Initially the websites were meant for information, communication and little bit of entertainment. Over the years websites have transformed into portals which provide live news, information, videos and audio entertainment, interactive discussion platforms etc. All these has been possible because of two things 1) Advancement in technology and 2) Enhancement of hosting services.

A few years ago companies had one domain but now every corporate worth its name opts for multiple domain web hosting only. The virtual world has become a very competitive space and to remain at the top one has to constantly innovate and change strategies. One way to do it is to continuously upgrade websites and get better and faster hosting service. But finding a good website hosting company whose prices are competitive is the greatest challenge of every entrepreneur.

I recently came across this website aptly titled Web Hosting Geeks. This website is all about informing people about the top-10 best hosting service providers. Their list is constantly updated with new information about various aspects of website hosting, design, technologies, etc. I feel this is a very important reference guide for all those who are looking for website hosting services. This site could give them the right information and empower them to make informed decisions.

One of my favorite sections of this website is their blog. I love to read their well-written and informative blog posts on interesting topics such as Search Engine Optimization, web technologies, hosting, IFrames, etc. My suggestion to all of you reading this post is to visit Web Hosting Geeks and learn about website hosting and internet technology.

Single in Miami? Find your soulmate here!!!

Localization and micro-focussing is the buzzword in everything now. Similarly internet dating sites which are local, catering to a small geographic area are attracting more attention than ever. One draw is there is the possibility of being able to meet in person after a few e-mails which would be difficult in a long-distance romance. One of the newest websites launched in this space caters to residents of Miami. This miami personals website is a space where guys and girls based in Miami or those planning to move to Miami can find love.

There are numerous interactive tools which will help you zero-in the ideal partner and pursue a prospective love interest.

You can also browse the existing profiles for free. So if you are out there looking for a date, mate or a life partner go ahead and look up this website.

How to find best Web Hosting Services!!!

One of the common problems of every business relates to webhosting. Finding a reliable webhosting provider to host company's website is quite a challenge. The proliferation of internet has made so many choices available that it is very difficult to ascertain who provides the most reliable webhosting service.

But there is hope in the form of a new website which provides user reviews of hosting service providers. The main aim of this web portal is to provide unbiased and independent reviews of web hosting providers. At this portal we can find cheap professional web hosting services, some of it under $10 a month. Everyone is allowed to post a review of the website service provider they are using or have used in the past. These reviews will help others who are on the lookout for service providers.

My favourite section of this website, however, is the Informative Blog. The blog features comphrensive articles about latest internet technologies. For example the post on "What a Web Server is and how it works" was a very educative piece. This enabled me to learn about what all happens at the backend of our websites.

This website is a one-stop-shop for all kinds of website related information and services. It will clarify all your doubts and clear confusions related to webhosting and internet.

Expert Ratings and Reviews of Web Hosting Services

One of the most important needs of any business, big or small, is a strong internet presence in the form of a website, blog, online store etc. To have an online entity you need a reliable, efficient, and cost effective website hosting service provider. With so many companies offering more or less the same services, it is very difficult to decide which company is best suited for you.

I was in the same dilemma recently and after considerable amount of research on the web I found this website known as Web Hosting Geeks. The site provides ubiased user ratings of almost all the web hosting services in the market. These reviews are independent and are both cheap and expensive ones. There are services which offer Free Domain Name registration if you host with them. Personally speaking I think the free domain name service is a great advantage for me because that cuts down my costs quite a bit. I only want to host my blog on my own domain and for this I just need a domain name. And I could find such a service on Web Hosting Geeks. I believe this site has the resources to fulfill all your information needs about website hosting and related services.

I strongly feel that if anyone is interested in hosting a website or looking for a good hosting company one should consult Web Hosting Geeks and then decide upon it. This is one site where you can find all the necessary information, pitfalls and advantages about a wide range of website hosting service providers.

Low price Postcards for your communication!

In these days of inflation and rising prices, an increasing number of people are depending on coupon clipping to save small amounts of money. Like the saying goes "Little drops of rain water makes a mighty ocean" people are trying hard to make a difference in their home budgets with the small savings that coupons provide.

The worst hit by inflation are perhaps small businesses who are finding it very difficult to be competitive and remain in operations. One of the new methods of improving sales, through promotional Postcards is being increasingly used by businesses. And guess what there are businesses who are willing to provide discount coupons on products for business consumption too. Like Vistaprint is offering 50 over sized postcards FREE when you use the coupon code: PC50 with your purchase.

Vistaprint a leading business-to-business marketer is offering several discount coupons on its offerings such as 50% Off on Address Labels (coupon code: Labels50); 10 Free Invites (code: FreeInvite); 50% Off Business Cards (code: BizCard08); and lots more. I found this website very useful for both personal as well as business use and in these days of rising prices, this site is definitely recommended to everyone who wishes to save some money.

Forced House Arrest

Well... the wet and cold spell continues... when I look out of the large window of our living room the picture is not pretty at all... the creek behind our home looks desolate.. most of the trees there have lost their leaves or are in the last stages of losing them.. leaves have turned from bright green to fiery red to lemony yellow and now birch brown before falling off...

It is too cold to walk out of home... and inside is cozy and warm thanks to the ubiquitous heater... inside the car also it is cozy because of the heater... so only when one is exposed, he feels cold otherwise it is quite cool or rather should I say warm...

So since I can't do travelling on my own I decided to do some armchair travelling... and during the research I hit this website of a radio station which has launched a travel show titled... "Let's Travel!" and a website related to that.

The website offers the same old things that a zillion other travel websites are offering: Travel Tips, StreetSmart Advice, Personal Adventures Podcasts, Photo Gallery and more. But then what set's "Let's Travel!" apart are host Susan Raphael and producer Michael Zufolo who invite you to explore the world with a different feature on the Web site and on the radio Thursdays at Noon (ET, US) and Saturdays at 6pm (ET, US) at http://www.tribecaradio.net/.

A podcast of each week's show is available on the Web site after the Thursday broadcast. All "Let's Travel!" shows are archived as podcasts."Let's Travel!" has a special twist -- offering a true insider's look at trips for people of all lifestyles. Susan Raphael, the show's host, puts the spotlight on travelers of all budgets, age groups and physical abilities. She interviews a vast array of globe-trotters, artists, writers, chefs, musicians and designers from around the world about their personal adventures, cultural perspectives and found treasures! Ms. Raphael will also share news of the joyous journeys and secret hideaways of the show's listening audience.
