The last few months a few famous people passed away and their Twitter account lived on. It just made me think how much stuff I have online and no one would know what to do with my accounts. In the case of Twitter your last update will stay online forever marking a time or place just before your death. It is morbid to think about, but technology has just created a situation that family members or friends would not know how to deal with. It would be a good idea to put all your online information in a note book and keep it in a safe place. In case something does happen you know your family can either delete an account or take care of the account. If you are an affiliate marketer you might still be getting paid a long time after your gone. Not to bring anyone down, but your online business should be treated as any other business and you need to have a plan for when you are no longer able to run the business.

Trying something new. On Thursdays I will post funny T-Shirts. If you have a funny T-Shirt to submit leave comment and I can email you the details to get your shirt on Vendingmatic I must say I do love funny T-Shirts. The featured shirt for today is Guitar Hero.

You can get one here!

This has to be the best kept SEO secret. The last few days I have been playing around with an SEO package from LinkAssistant. The best part is the basic package is 100% free and can be downloaded to any computer. It does not matter is you have a PC MAC or Linux this software is going to work on your system. What LinkAssistant does is provide a clean software package to help with your link building and SEO efforts. The package includes a suite of programs called SEO Power Suite. With four programs in the suite. You get LinkAssistant, Rank Tracker, SEO Spyglass and Web Site Auditor. The Rank Tracker program was very easy to use and I found some valuable information right away. The free package has so many features and value that I think many users will want to try the pro version.

Not to get ahead of ourselves I think all webmasters need to download the free software and play around with it. You will soon know what keywords are ranked in all the major search engines and which position they show up in. There were keywords I found on a few of my sites that were in the top 10 which is a very cool way to try to make some money. The software can help you increase the number of sites you have in the top 10 spots in Google. This LinkAssistant software works with all major search engines and you can even pick the countries you want to check. Once you start playing around with LinkAssistant it becomes part of your everyday SEO efforts. This software has changed the way I title my posts and increase keywords to show up better in results. Many fortune 500 companies already use LinkAssistant, you can get a free copy and have the same tools the big boys use.

You’ve gotta rush. Users who’ve been among the first wave to start using this SEO software are now making serious big bucks. Do you want to join this group of folks using the software that is de facto the standard of SEO? If you think making money online is something you, too, need to get into, then don’t miss out on this chance to start right now.

The last few weeks have been crazy with WordPress updates. The first one I did almost killed my blog. Since then I have made sure to turn plug-ins off. This seems to help and the upgrades have been working properly.

Every time I do an update I feel like the blog is going to get corrupted. If you are not backing up your database you should before any WordPress update. It’s better to be safe then sorry. Let’s hope this is the end of updates for awhile.

If you already have a website or blog are you making the most money from your effort? Many publishers have Google Adsense and are stuck at a few cents a day from clicks on their sites. The Adsense program is great and many people do make a decent amount of money from having those ad’s displayed over various sites. The best way to monetize your site is with affiliate offers, which can pay anywhere from $10 to $50 per action. The example would be if someone visits your site and gets a free trial of a product or service, the merchant will pay for that lead. It’s a great way to make money online and you will make much more then with Adsense.

This is why I promote Market Leverage on my site and speak highly of this network. You are given great offers to promote and a variety of advertisers. All you need to do is pick an offer from a merchant that fits your sites theme and paste a little html code. It is very easy to get started and you can pull in big amount of money with a little effort. You can also when prizes if you join Market Leverage though my link. Those who join through my link can also contact me for help setting up campaign or any general affiliate questions they might have.

You can join Market Leverage at this LINK!

Imagine you are going to make more money, win prizes and get free support. If you are not making at least $100 a month from your site you need to join Market Leverage today!
This is the secret that publishers that make a full time income with their sites use. Take my word there is a ton of money to be made, but you need the right offers on your site. With Market Leverage you also get to watch MLTV which provides you with the most up to date offers from the network.

If you are a Canadian Power Seller on Ebay, the government is coming after you. The new rules that take place this week will change the playing field for Canadian sellers. It’s bad enough that you get hit with Ebay fee’s and Paypal fee’s now you also have to declare the small amount of money that you are making. This might be a game changing plan for sellers. Since Revenue Canada is targeting Ebay Canada and asking for records only from Ebay then you might want to change market places. If you use iOffer or eCrater then Revenue Canada will not know about your income from these market places. The only way Revenue Canada would know is if Paypal is also releasing records. The other option is to sell locally for cash through Craiglsit and Kijiji and you would also save listing fees and closing fees. As Ebay stands right now it has become a more difficult market place to do business overall. With compaition from sellers in China and Hong Kong selling goods for next to nothing the North American sellers are losing a big chunk of market share. If I had to give advice to Canadian sellers I would say stop selling on Ebay and move to another market place. You can even start your own online store and advertise with Google Adwords, and it would cost you less then paying Ebay Fee’s. The Canadian Revenue Agency has killed Ebay Canada and small business efforts across the country. The government forgets that the Ebay sellers will use the money earned back in the Canadian economy and taxes would be collected at that time. Greed is a bad thing wish the government of Canada would reconsider this action, it is going to change a lot of families’ lives. In this economy this was a bad move. Oh Canada we step down from Ebay.
