10 Great links - Batch 1

I have stumbled on (literally, so many thumbs up!) on so many great sites and blog posts lately. Since I’m the nicest (not) person you know, I will here hare 10 great links with you! I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do!

• Optimize Your TLA for Advertisers - Amanda writes about great tips on how to sell more links with Text Link Ads. I’ve taken her advice literally, so let’s wait and see how it goes for me ;)
• VideoJug - Yet another great site with tutorial and how to videos and practically anything in your everyday life.
• 30 Usability Issues To Be Aware Of - Smashing Magazine has a post on things you should be aware of when designing and developing your site.
• Gossip City - WordPress Theme Release - I really like this theme! There is something special about it!
• The Super Affiliate’s Guide to PPC Marketing - Zach Johnsson wrote a great guide on PPC marketing!
• The Smart Way to Get Traffic and Links: Creating a Prospect List for Bloggers - Another great post from Maki!
• More than 100 Web 2.0 Online Generators - Extensive list of more than 100 Web 2.0 online generators.
• Brusheezy.com - A place for artists to download and vote for the best custom Photoshop brushes and Photoshop patterns on the internet. Free!
• Fresheezy.com - A sister/brother site to the one above. An index of free themes for Wordpress, Expression Engine, Blogger, BBPress, and more!
• Crazy Baby Products - Okay, I admit it! It’s my own post, but I quite like it! :P

Word counter

You haven’t forgot the word counter I re-designed a while ago? Well it’s still up! I use it every time I’m going to write a paid post since I want to make sure that I write enough words. I’m sure there are other tools for it but I like this one. You can access it anywhere!

Blogrush wasn’t worth it!

I have checked several sites reports on how it went with Blogrush, and they all have one thing in common; it wasn’t wort it!
It didn’t generate that many visitors as promised, like a few of us already knew before. So a lesson to learn is that if it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true.

Thank goodness I didn’t try it out!

There is another hype out there about Widgetbucks, it seems a lot better than AuctionAds (that I removed from my other site, I didn’t earn a cent). Has it worked for you?

Infektia’s toilet award goes to PayU2Blog

I just started a thing called the toilet award at infektia.net to give to things and services that I don’t like or that I’m not satisfied with. My first toilet award goes to the paid to post program called PayU2Blog. You can read more about it if you click the link.

Have you ever been fooled, ripped of or ignored by a service/company (or maybe even a contest) online? How did you deal with it? Did it get solved?

If you have, please do tell me about it. It would be interesting to hear about your experiences and how you managed it!

Sorry guys!

I just noticed that several of your comments ended up among all the viagra spam! So from now on I will check the spam more often ;)
Sorry!
