Prompt and reliable internet broadband -Amnet

Its just because they are a smaller company and they provide good service . Over the period i had their internet connection they have had problems only twice, and eve when they did  , both times i was quite surprised that they called immediately saying  that their Bulwer exchange had a problem and they were currently fixing it , NOW that’s personal service.

Good Internet download limits, Local human customer service personnel

Their broadband is fast enough and their speeds and limits are awesome, infact tehy were giving me 150 GB download limits long before the top internet providers started doing the same. One thing thats very important for me is getting a local human on the customer line who cares, and amcom certainly does have that and  on the 2 occasions that i needed some support i got real nice friendly an prompt service from a customer rep.

If you looking for a reliable , good internet provider , you surely cant go  past amcom , there might be other providers a bit cheaper or with more download limits.. but it certainly makes up for that with good and reliable customer service  and broadband.

Special offer – Amnet Australian ISP 

They recently had a special offer of a  FREE month and FREE connection on the 12 and 24 month  and also being fair to older customers “12 oldest residential customers  were given a free month each to share in the 12 th birthday celebrations

Pinterest in Australia

With millions of users flocking to pinterest and registrations happening at a rapid pace , Pinterest the website that uses pictures on a pinboard to interact with its users could be the new Facebook or twitter and surely get these rivals worried.

Pinterest now has over 10.4 million registered users

GET a PINTEREST INVITE  BELOW

Pinterest  has no plans of a Australian focussed website, but is now available more freely for  Australians  to register on their website as well. Pinterest  is now  just trailing Facebook and twitter in popularity  to become the third most popular  social website in the US.

Now, even Barack Obama has a Pinterest profile, it’s safe to say the site is getting pretty popular.

So what is pinterest ?

Pinterest is a social sharing website similar but different from Facebook.

Pinterest is a social networking site with a visually-pleasing “virtual pinboard” interface that’s likeable. Members collect photos and link to products they love, creating their own pinboards and following the pinboards of other people whom they find interesting.

Pinterest and  Amazon Affiliate Marketing

Pinterest is  a interesting concept , It is very visually appealing with its concept  and with its very reason to become popular it  also has attracted the  bad boys of the internet “ the spammers”.  Steve is 24 years old and makes about  $1,000 a day from pinterest. he makes this money  by spamming pinterest.

Steve works by creating tons of fake accounts, using spambots to re-pin certain images — all of pretty women’s dresses and boots, enough to get them on Pinterest’s popular tab. Pinterest users then click on them and are directed to Steve’s Amazon affiliate account buying stuff and earnings him a commission. You can read the full story here

Google official Street RooCam

They’re calling it Google Street Roo, Hopefully the 10,000-plus kangaroos doing the job  won’t mistakenly collect any personal data via wifi while they’re hopping across Australia.

They say “The deployment of the ‘roo force’ will begin today and we believe 98% of the Australian outback will be captured on Google Maps within three years”

Follow Top bloggers to become top money making blogger

But  there are some  that do ( up to a certain extent) reveal the blogging secrets, and the smart people  can get the clues from their posts (to get the bigger picture) from the information revealed. Makemoney online is a hard game  and i got some of my favourite bookmarked blogs that give me regular useful information , that you might find useful too which i have listed below.

Some of the blogs that i follow surely are some of the biggest money earners on the internet,  but in relation to handing out any useful tips to making money,  only a few of these blogs occasionally post anything useful when they are not flogging stuff. So i have ranked these blog’s below in order of importance to me and for you. Some of these  unfortunately as John Chow states, have pretty much become “internet marketing whores”  and they sometimes are blogs  that “who flog, more than blog”  ( yeh yeh !! sure  John Chow)

Check out these blogs for making money online

1. Chris  Guthrie – http://www.makemoneyontheinternet.com/

Making his money selling on amazon  , from his blog and now makes money buying and selling websites and also now bombards me with emails selling software  and plugins daily which is just about starting to annoy me with  its increased frequency . But he still dishes out good stuff , so ill hang on for a while receiving those emails 

2. Glen – - http://www.viperchill.com/

Makes money from his blog, amazon  and other projects . Has a wealth of seo optimization information

I recently  tried his  opt in membership plugin without much success and some precious real estate  taken up on mu blog  but then  found out  that i can get  members more by just making my request more visible on blog  on popular posts and  making the request more actionable and  so now  don’t need his plugin. But his Blog posts are AWESOME  so yeh  ” look it up “

3. Michael Gray – http://www.wolf-howl.com/

Michael blogs about a good mix of everything like SEO, driving traffic , Blog optimization and more. I like his blogs name “wolf –Howl” and he always has excellent images to go with his post which makes his blog look so good. ( hmm… hes climbed up to no 4 ranking on google.com.au for SEO Blog ..good luck buddy to the top )

4. Darren Rowse – http://www.problogger.net/

Had to put in fellow aussie blogger “Darren Rowse” on this list, he not only has quite detailed posts on how he started earning his money online  from his forums , but also detailed posts on how he earns money from his blogs , amazon  and how he drives traffic , build memberships  and makes money from affiliates.Dig deep into his blog to get  a wealth of information.

4. John Chow – http://www.johnchow.com/

He used to publish interesting stuff   that really helped  making money online, blogging and does  that now only once in a while ,in the meantime  he is just flogging stuff , software  etc  from his website.

5. Shoemoney – http://www.shoemoney.com

I used to follow shoemoney quite fervently 4 to 5 years ago when he used to blog quite useful  and details posts on makingmoneyonline , making money from AdSense ,  Adwords strategy and blog optimization , but now he just  posts pic’s of himself with good looking chicks and  occasionally  writes some detailed informative posts on SEO and  other stuff as mentioned above.

Will  surely add more blogs  later.. bookmark me

PS: Adding the  snapshots (images ) of all the blogs to the post above ,  i will have to say “Micheal Gray” and “Darren Rowse Blog” are  the best looking in design still keeping it real in the looks department

I had a job on integrating a  ”AMAZON ASTORE” into a self hosted wordpress site. I trawled the internet for ways to best put in the “amazon astore”  to match the theme and design of the blog. I cam across  this site “ Robin Maluau – rockstar now geek” and “ Kristella’s blog” that gave me some useful tips, which probably wont make sense to some  who are not  as much technically minded. Since they  have published those useful posts for getting Amazon store to work with wordpress and blogger ,  blogger and wordpress itself has changed  and got updated to new versions  making “integrating  you amazon Astore more easy” than ever.

I  had the job of updating  a wordpress website “www.australianpropertymarket.com.au” with a Amazon product store, so  i did a bit of research  and found many articles some useful most outdated and finally  got  the amazon store nicely working  with wordpress just by copying and pasting code in wordpress. Its that siimple now !! 

Integrating Amazon A store Into wordpress / Blogger

I will show you how to integrate  you amazon store in few easy steps. Make sure you change the theme  while making the Astore  to match your store theme colours.

Create the Astore in amazon and get the inline frame embed link like below.

Got to word press , add new page   click the html mode and  post the embed  code you got into the page .Got to page attributes on your right  and switch the page template column to “page template – no sidebars” so that  your amazon sidebar is the only  sidebar that’s seen on the theme. Some themes block this feature  to not have the regular sidebar option , and you might have to mess around further with the code. Here is another example  of  the Amazon  astore Narvey Horman website on a standard wordpress template but without the Amazon sidebar ( adjusting the  width and height dimension in the  inline embed frame code of amazon will get  you this page) . You can check out the example  link below  for the Full amazon astore embed page in the word press website on propertymarket website

Create word press Amazon page

Y0u can further mess around with the amazon code for width and height and change as necessary or then change the page attributes  to suit  where the “amazon page” goes on your links menu.

You can follow a similar way to get this “amazon page on blogger” . I will  post a tutorial  how to integrate  Amazon Astore on blogger   when i get some spare time.

You can check out the result here  at the property  market website  &  another example  of  the Amazon  astore Narvey Horman website 

All the best  and let me know if you run into any problems implementing this.
