thrifty.gifThe word mortgage has been extremely popularized over the past few months especially because of the drastic increase in the interest rates that has been affecting so many households. Things have been increasingly difficult for homeowners and many have started to compare mortgages to see if there are cheaper alternates to their ever increasing monthly repayments. Often after searching various alternatives most people are in fact able to find better and cheaper solutions that enable them to save money every month.

Adverse remortgage solutions are also starting to become very popular since it helps in getting rid of a poor value mortgages in turn of mortgages that offer better value for money combined with radical savings. These savings are more visible over a long period of time but can make a big difference for anyone that has been severely struck by the increasing interest rates.

If you are lucky enough to be homeowner there are some good alternates for obtaining a loan. Secured loans are normally the first and most widely used option since the loan is secured against the equity of your home. This method is also known as the homeowner loan and proves itself very useful for that very reason, since it is considered a secure loan by the banks. This factor can really make a difference in the time that is needed to get a loan approved.

Last but definitely not least you can use this tool especially if you’re looking for a quick loan. Once there you’ll be confronted with various options which could literally represent thousands in terms of savings, so take all the time needed to analyze them very carefully before committing to anything. Remember that comparing loans is the single most important challenge every person will have to tackle before actively pursuing and acquiring a loan.

feedburner.gifSo the much anticipated news has finally arrived, Feedburner can now be integrated with your Adsense account. Although this integration was expected for some time now, the new implementations might not be as useful has initially though.

First I started by reading the official announcement at the Feedburner blog to see what the commotion was all about. The information is very sketchy and not all that informative really. If that wasn’t enough, the announcement did make it very clear that AdSense options for feeds is not available at this time. So why bother then? Why not use the normal Adsense service?

This newly integrated capability — designed just for FeedBurner-powered content like yours — puts relevant AdSense content ads to work on your blog and/or website. (Note: AdSense options for feeds not available at this time.) If you choose to activate this service, you can run a 300×250 or 468×60 text or image AdSense ad on your blog. The ad will appear below the first item on your site and archive pages once you have installed the necessary code. Ad content is automatically targeted to complement your site and you will earn revenue each time visitors click on ads. You can even customize the colors (or use a saved color palette from your AdSense account) so the ad unit fits your site’s look and feel. Check out these 300×250 examples below.

The reason I wanted to integrate the two services was to have ads displayed on my feeds. I think this is the common though pattern for everyone using Feedburner. Anyway I went on with the whole integration thing which only took about 5 min and started configuring a few options for displaying ads on my blog. After that I followed the instructions for adding the code on my blog and what isn’t my surprise when I notice that the only thing it did was insert a standard ad block from Adsense.

This to me was a complete waste of time and to be honest I don’t see what the point is. Maybe in the near future there will be more improvements but right now you can hold on to your shorts, this service really sucks.

My digital life

I’m all about being online and these days spend more time talking digital than eating croissants. Trust me when I say that at night when I close my eyes all I see are digits, text and the odd smiley reminding me that if I don’t deliver on time my profile will be overwhelmed with bad karma.

Today I’ve decided to take you on a tour of my digital live. These are the sites I’ve learned to love and over the years started calling home.

Dailymotion.gifDailyMotion is a pleasant video sharing site that differs from all the other better known alternatives mainly with its more polished and produced content. In simpler terms it doesn’t have as much crap as Youtube. I joined DailyMotion a few months ago and only use it to brighten up my dim moments. My profile has the same old boring information found on every site I’ve ever bothered to registered up to date.

Digg.gifWhat can I possibely say about Digg. I’ve been a member for ages therefore can’t remember when I first registered. Digg is one of those sites you love from the very first minute and can’t help but say “Why didn’t I think of this before”. My profile contains some information about me and my blog accompanied by all the stories I’ve dug over the years.

digitalpoint.gifDigitalPoint Forums is my home on the internet. If you want to find me for to discuss some lucrative ventures please do go to Digital point and send me a private message. I’m constantly logged in, this could be anywhere from 14 to 16 hours every day so there are no excuses. Currently my profile contains some basic information about me so don’t even bother to take a look except if you’re interested in marveling at my 3,223 posts genially create to date.

gooruze.gifGooruze was my latest addition into the true Social Networking arena. The site provides me with a daily much needed fix of educational substance and is in my opinion a very good place to learn about Internet marketing. I’m not even going to show you my profile because it’s so empty it would be like staring at a white wall.

I love Reddit simply because it’s there and I can. Simplicity at heart intertwined with creativity graciously brought together with a twist. Reddit is really great and most times spammers are left at the door.

MyblogLoglogo.gifI only joined the MyBlogLog community a few weeks ago. There you’ll find my pretty profile and be able to keep up with my daily blogging. You’re more than welcome to join me as your contact or take part in my community. Doing that usually makes me happy and sometimes I actually return the favor.

Twitter.gifI’m a newcomer to Twitter and am already there more times than on my other homes. If you are my fan and can’t wait to see what I’m up to, this is the site to visit. You can follow my profile to become an Emperor expert. Can you imagine anything cooler under the sun.

YouTube.gifI was late to the whole Youtube revolution. My account was created about a year ago and I never bothered to log in until a few weeks ago. If you’re a 60’s or 70’s music fan check out my profile for some love song action. It contains a few great songs from my personal heroes in the music business. Youtube is now one of the first sites I visit every day.

If you look me up do take the time to say hello, I love intercommunication. Just by becoming involved on some of these sites most of you will know more about me than my first three girl friends put together and my wife four months before she married me.

Online Games

onlinegamesite.gifLately I’ve been writing a lot about game related topics especially online gaming. Seeing as I don’t have the free time required to play console or computer games I usually find myself browsing an online game site for a quick fix. This happens quite frequently especially when I’m waiting for something work related, like an email from a client or a job offering.

To be totally honest with you I just love those online gaming sites, especially the ones that have the old Nintendo Family System (NES) games. Obviously they´re not the original NES games but some are brilliant replicas of the ones I used to play when I was a kid. If I’m note careful I’ll spend hours playing these games, especially Mario Brothers and the extremely addictive Arkanoid. These sites hold an amazing collection of free games, some have hundreds, therefore you won’t be bored any time soon.

So why don’t you take a few minutes from your busy online schedule and play a game or two. Trust me, you’ll feel completely rejuvenated after a few Arkanoid games.

gooruse.gifThere is a new home for the entire internet Marketer community and its name is Gooruze. Today I decided to take the time to register at Gooruze to see if all the hype was really justified.

Gooruze is a Social Networking site for marketers who want to share their knowledge and learn more about their trait. The site is filled with appealing articles written and submitted by its users who also benefit from the community’s collaborative spirit. Taking part in a community demands interactivity and from the few minutes I spent browsing around I got the feeling that this was happening on a very diverse scale.

Marketing is a complex topic especially when it involves such resent technologies as the ones found on the internet. Taking advantage of what Gooruze has to offer is a good way to start a Marketing career.

deletedlive.gifMany people wonder how some webmasters know when a domain name is about to be deleted. The truth is that there is a tool that searches the internet and returns a list of domains that are in the process of being deleted. When this happens webmasters call it a dropped domain.

Such domains can prove to be very valuable since many still carry the original Page Rank value from Google. Instead of working hard developing a site for months you can get a domain with a high Page Rank already present. Doing this is fraud in my opinion especially when the main idea behind the scam is to sell cheap links to unsuspecting customers. People buying these links often don’t know that the Page Rank is in a sense false and that Google might correct the value by removing or even banning the domain.

I’m only posting this information here for educational purposes. If you buy normal text links from blogs or sites, which I disagree with, you best use services like the WayBackMachine to see how the site has changed over the past months. If the site in question looks totally different from what it did a few months prior you are being cheated and are advised not to buy these links.

Internet and computer technology is very much advanced now and it has made it very much easier for the businessmen to run their business with the help of marketing. In internet marketing email marketing is a very good way and it is a type of direct marketing. In this type of marketing electric males are used to advertise the products and business. There are a number of different companies in the world that are offering and providing their marketing services and anhosting and lunarpages are one of them. For the product base website, quality web templates are required.

Ares download it now

ares.gifLately whenever someone mentions the famous P2P protocol most people think of endless Law suits, copyright infringements and obviously, the RIAA. It might even seem that all P2P clients are long gone, buried beneath all the commotion never to be seen again. Fortunately that’s not true because Ares is here and it has come to the rescue. Please take a look at the Ares download page to get started.

Ares is a free open source file sharing program that differs in many ways from the other more traditional P2P clients. Just like all popular P2P programs, Ares enables its users to download large files like software, games, video, documents and movies by connecting to a decentralized network. Since the network does not rely on private centralized servers there is no one for the Media companies to prosecute. This makes downloading safer given that no user information is stored locally, all information is scattered over the network.

Ares Gold is a more graphically pleasing version of the P2P client that also includes a few extra interesting functionalities being the most notable the built-in Media player. Either than that most features are similar in both versions. From version 2.0.9 Ares also supports the BiTorrent protocol which is great since so many users have shifted to this protocol as a result of the resent Kazaa and Emule law suits. The site also offers a nice place for you to read all the latest filesharing news. So if you’re interested in keeping up with the latest P2P news that’s the place to visit.

From what I can tell Ares is an excellent P2P client that has a bright future ahead. Please note that we do not endorse the download of copyrighted material, the use of Ares for any illegal activity is discourage and the sole responsibility of each individual.

LowPings Gameservers

lowpings.gifWriting about online games and quality game play got me all nostalgic especially when I remember some of the many great games I’ve played over the years. Most of you might not know, but a few years ago getting a reliable server for playing an online game wasn’t always an easy task. Many times we encountered long downtimes and seeing as most internet gamers used a dialup connection, playing online was a real adventure to say the least.

Today things have changed considerably. Once you buy a gameserver everything comes conveniently preinstalled. All you have to do is play the game and enjoy yourself. Hosting companies like Lowpings offer fully setup Soldier of Fortunate game servers for a reasonable price and the quality is exceptional. If you´re not a Soldier of Fortunate fan that’s not a problem, they also have Call of Duty game servers and TF2 servers for a bargain price, so you might want to check them out first before you make a decision. The game list is quite impressive and so are their Dual Opteron servers. To make things even easier everything is controlled using a simple Online Control Panel, as a result managing the different gameservers is a breeze.

Remember that most modern games nowadays require powerful servers combined with plenty of bandwidth to operate. Opting for mediocre services in many cases is a waste of time and money since the games don’t even work properly on these weaker and cheaper servers. It is always good to shop around for the best offers and ask experienced gamers which are the companies that one should avoid.

In my opinion there is only one option for gamers looking to purchase fast and reliable gameservers. So next time you’re thinking of purchasing a good gameserver give Lowpings a try.

dallsXtreme.gifI guess I’m what you could call a casual gamer. Every night, just before I go off to bed, I like to take a few relaxing minutes to grab a machinegun, shoot bad guys and blow things up. There’s nothing better for relaxing after a hard day’s work than taking part in some harmless, family friendly violence. Trust me when I say, there’s nothing more calming than playing a good game.

When it comes to gaming I’m very demanding even more so when game play and sound quality is in question. For this very reason the only possible option is Vertrilo since no other program offers such exceptional sound quality and group communications services all bundled in one package. If you still don’t know what Vertrilo is or what it’s used for I’ll explain.

Ventrilo is a group communications software utilized mainly by gamers to communicate, especially during online game competitions. Known for its extremely high quality surround sound positioning and special sound effects, Ventrilo enables each user to fully customize exactly how they wish to hear the sounds from other users and games. You do need to buy hosting for it to work so opting for high quality ventrilo servers is a must especially if you belong to a big game clan or play with many other gamers.

If you take pride in gaming just like me and are looking for hosting there are many sites that offer high quality Ventrilo server hosting at very affordable prices. Choosing the right host is very important since the entire game play experience relies on the speed and stability of the servers. Remember that a good Ventrilo host offers immediate activation, good quality servers combined with exceptional customer service so you might want to take a good look at the link I provided above.
