Submit your blog to 100 search engines.

Very early in 2000, I used to submit my (so called) websites to every search engines that I came to know of. I used several submission software and visited every website that gave me free submission to hundreds of search engines and thousands of free classifieds and FFA sites.

I was really into big league in Internet Marketing and web advertising. At least I thought so of myself.

Man, what a great and interesting experience! I learnt of so many web advertising methods; I learnt and was comfortable with every other kin of submission software.

I entered in a big way in email marketing. I bought leads. Bought email marketing software.

The end result?
Except my advanced internet marketing knowledge, nothing went up. Oh yes, I forgot! My email inbox kept overflowing with confirmations and asking for submission confirmation from all the places that the software submitted my websites.

Well, if you want to all of my experience, here is a way to get them.
Visit SEOscores and enter URL of your website/blog and your email address.
There, you can select several or all the search engines in which you want to get listed.
Repeat the whole proces every month.

A few samples of Search Engines:
InfoTiger.com
Rediff.com
ScrubTheWeb.com
EntireWeb.com
SearchIt.com
SusySearch.com
Abacho.co.uk
SearchUK.com
AxxaSearch

Are you aware of this?

Elevated toilet seats that are advertised as handicapped toilet by the new generation home developers quickly got the nod of the contemporary architects.

A few years ago, the same concept was ridiculed by the real estate developers.

Now, every hotel, motel and hospital is announcing that they now are handicapped friendly.

Do you know who the largest seller of raised toilet attachments is? It is none other than the famous allegromedical.com that is known for dealing with thousands of life enhancing products that include exercise & fitness equipment, nutritional dietary supplements, maternity/baby supplies and outdoor gear.

Even highway gas stations are advertising ultra modern rest room facilities with special toilets for handicapped people.

This was one area that cried for attention and I am glad that there is an awakening among people. I would say Allegro Medical is a pioneer in promoting handicapped toilet.

To save earth, stay thin.

I have a soft corner for fat people. My heart reaches out for them. It is not by choice that they are fat! I agree it is not applicable to all the obese people but still…

Ok, here is some motivation for them to get thin:
Reuter quoted two British scientists”: “Each fat person emits one ton of carbon dioxide more every year than by a thin person. This will add up to an extra one billion tones of carbon dioxide a year in a population of one billion overweight people. The EU estimates each citizen accounts for 11 tones of greenhouse gas emissions a year.

A considerable quantity indeed. The earth is concerned and so should we and the obese persons more so.

No? Not enough to reach out for the best appetite suppressant for some obese people? Ok, how about this for an explanation?

“Moving about in a heavy body is like driving around in a gas guzzler.”

That should do! I believe so.

Free resources for beautiful WP themes.

Guaranteed weight loss; a fat chance.

Shrunken by the Internet and further shrunken by the web 2.0 tools, the world of information is literally in our hands. Just a few clicks of the mouse and we can update ourselves on any complex subject.

Further more, review sites have nearly did away the necessity to dig around before we buy a product. This is very much so with diet pills. So, you don’t have to be an Internet wizard to find out the diet pills that work.

Sure, all diet pills might work but we want them to work on us as fast as we find them. If I want to get slim during this weekend, then this is what I will expect from the weight loss pills.

For this, we have to depend on the diet pills review sites that publish and rate diet pills based several parameters.

As per Sybervision, it is now Leptorexin that is rated at the top of the diet pills shelf. Leptorexin guarantees you that you will lose weight or you get your money back.

Plug in and earn money from your blog.

When I started blogging in 2005, I wondered if my blog can be converted into an e-commerce site.

This is 2009. In these 4 years, I have not come across an e-commerce blog that process shopping orders and takes payment through Paypal or Google Checkout.

Today, I happen to read about a Wordpress e-commerce plugin that will convert your WP blog into a full pledged e-com website. Since this is a plugin, you need not worry about all the technicalities of setting up an e-commerce website.

But, you need to do some initial configuration and tweak a few settings in WP admin panel. Once done, you have a real money earning blog in your hands. Then it is up to you to use your creativity to enhance your first e-com blog.

You can see the screenshots of the plugin.

Where is the City of Eternal Springs?

Image of City of Eternal Springs-courtesy Google images.

My son is under impression that Chile has more volcanoes than any other country in the world. I didn’t try to contradict him because I sensed that he wanted to go to Chile to meet his girl friend who once met him in Bangalore.

I told him, “Come out clean son, what you want? I am sure you are least interested in seeing volcanoes”.

That took him by surprise. However, he admitted that he wanted to meet his girl friend and also see the City of Eternal Springs along with her. I know Argentina travel can be taxing as it is too far away from Madras.

I gathered some details about his destination which is Arica on the Peru border. There are enchanting beaches and lovely valleys of Azapa and Lluta.

I was stunned by the depth of information I found in argentinaforless.com. There are several travel packages including cruises and one cal also book hotels that are recommended by the site.

The site loads lightening fast and it is easy to navigate. But I am more impressed by the information given by them about lots of places to see in Argentina.

I just found out a simple blog directory maintained by Hannah, a fellow member of mybloglog.com
She maintains a blog in blogger: http://directoryforblogs.blogspot.com/

In a neat and clear template, she publishes blogs that are submitted with a screen shot of the blog's image. Blogs are organized under suitable labels for easy navigation.

There are 857 blogs as of now. Out of them, I was surprised to find 23 blogs on horses, my favorite animal.

Swim-up suites at El Dorado Royale.

Image via Wikipedia

“I prefer outdoor swimming. I don’t like indoor swimming pools; I am severely claustrophobic.

Imagine by excitement when I stepped out of my suite at El Dorado Royal and saw the winding artificial river connecting to a pool and swim-up bar. Aunt Malathy, it is so refreshing and I am madly splashing and screaming with sheer delight. I wish you were by my side”-email from my sister’s son who is enjoying is honeymoon in

Mexico along with his colleague who happened to get married on the same day my sister’s son got married. They planned their cancun honeymoons with my help.

Ocean Front Casita Suites at Karisma Hotels include veranda hammocks in which two can cuddle up.

In addition to such romantic offerings, El Dorado Royale also indulges romantics with divinely decadent pleasures like milk baths and aromatic massages in their dedicated spa.

That’s it! I called out to my husband and asked him to read the email. He turned scarlet and he is 53 years young.

How to spot and correct spelling mistakes in your blog?

Contrary to our own confidence, we do commit spelling mistakes in our blog post. This might happen in spite composing our blog post in MS Word as our eyes tend to overlook red colored spelling errors.

Human eyes automatically correct spelling and grammar mistakes and read. When I happen to read my own older blog posts, I used to detect spelling mistakes. I would naturally be ashamed as how could I have not spotted it before hitting the 'publish' button.

Here is a wonderful solution to correct all the spelling mistakes in your blog post.
Go to http://www.spellery.com/ and type in your blog's home page URL. If there are spelling mistakes, they will be listed.

You can then type those words one by one in your blog's search box, go to the blog post where the error is and correct it.

Very useful tool-eh?

How to imprison your blog visitors in your blog?

From my experience I realize that I am retained in a blog that I visit when I see more such posts clearly by the side or at the end of the blog post I am reading.

Displaying the related posts is a definite way to retain your blog visitor in your blog for a long time.
As the visitor clicks on every related post, he will be shown more to visit. This had happened to me in Etienneteo blog and in John Chow blog.

Unfortunately, there is no widget in blogger that shows related posts but if you operate a WP plug, there is a plugin to display related posts.

In my Income Opportunities blog, I have a displayed a widget that shows all of my blog posts in that blog. This widget is developed by Vin of Blog Doctor. I find it very useful to retain the blog visitor.

You can visit my Income Opportunities blog and view the widget in the right sidebar under the name, "Money Makers". It is actually an archive of all of my blog posts.

Wordpress plugin for autoblogging.

I don't favor any kind of autoblogging method but I like to know about them. It may be useful to someone else.

I know about a few autoblogging software but they all cost money. But this WP plugin is all free with which you can create hundreds of blog posts automatically. Of course the technology behind this is RSS feed.

This wordpress plugin is known as WP-o-Matic. You can create blog posts automatically from the RSS feeds you choose.

I always wonder how to apply filters with the feeds you choose. You may still need to weed out some content-right?

Well, this WP plugin is supposed to come with some advanced filters which of course I don't know. If the interface is user friendly, then I foresee many bloggers use this wp plugin. When I saw the screenshots of this plugin, I believed it can be handled easily, even by me.
