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.

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”

Australian Article Writers – Hard to get

In fact many bloggers have already started doing it  , but many have since realized that the quality and engagement created by the article is not worth the money or then they are not getting any Google love due to the weak articles produced for cheap money spent.

Websites offering Content writing

Websites such a freelancer.com and elance.com  , odesk.com and other similar websites  focus more on website development  and is pretty good for that , but fail to deliver on copy writing  or content writing in my opinion  as these areas are not their main focus. The professional level of English sought for the articles for a well established blog or website are often hard to get from these kinda websites due to the writers bidding for the projects not being that professionally adept for the job.

Content produced by a professional like copyblogger is often hard to get , or if not hard to get  then quite pricey  to afford  ( $80 for 300 words wow..might be writing with a gold penf or the articel ) for a blogger or website owner  to make any financial sense  to them.

With the new google panda update affecting how we manage our blog and content on it  and also now search engines like bing are getting in on the act of re-defining thier SEO and search parameters. A post οn Webmasterworld frοm Duane Forrester explains that if a user searches for a term and reaches your website and  quickly clicks out of your website  its obvious the content is not as interesting or good and they search engines are definitely taking into account these statistics into their search algorithms.

Get Australian article writers for your blog or website

If you’re looking for a good copywriter in Australia or another country for your web pages or other online marketing material, i write articles about finance , technology, Stock market and Business and political issues with a Australian focus  but can also write  for an international focus. I mainly do only these articles  as i like to follow the news in these areas.

The website or blog content you receive from me will be high quality and unique. It will not be sold to others or re-used and it will not have been created by any article spinning software that some cheap article writers use on some of the more popular freelancing providing websites. If you are interested in getting a article writer and want to contact me or get an example of the different articles i have written, send me an enquiry from the contact me page.

DODGY/ fraud plugins for wordpress

I installed this  plugin and though i would do a check  to see how things are going . to my horor i found that  the  amazon link are pointing to someone else amazon id , which would obiviously be the plugin maker. So i was ytricked into handing over all my commisiions to the  this guy . DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN  it is  a scam. IT will replace all you   amazon links with this id link “http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=petewill-20” .

[ Author of this plugin has sent me a clarification message , which i have posted at bottom of post ]

check out the pic below

I clicked one of the about links http://petewilliams.info/ and also the id  link that covered mylinks with his links  was “http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=petewill-20”

The plugin ” Amazon Affiliate Link Localizer”

This is totally sneaky and wrong, please do not download this plugin.

  Clarification sent from Plugin author: Pete williams

Hi,

My name’s Pete and I wrote this plugin. It looks like there’s been a bit of a mixup here so I thought I’d try and clear it up for you.

Just to explain, the script does use my affilliate IDs, but *only* where you don’t provide your own. It will never overwrite your IDs, and so will never deprive you of any commission. This is explained on the page on my site for this script, on it’s page in the WordPress Plugin directory and again in the plugin’s readme.txt – so obviously I am not trying to scam anyone:

“DISCLOSURE
If you do not insert your own affiliate IDs the script will use mine. Hopefully this will help fund my book addiction!”

With this in mind, I’d appreciate it if you could update your post to correct the information.

Thanks

Pete

 

My response: I certainly had put my id in  and this was still happening when i had used this plugin , this might have been fixed since then . so you can most certainly  have a look for yourself if you interested in this plugin  and check it outfor yourself if you like.

The Aventador’s high-tech carbon fibre monocoque chassis is hidden under a design that shares the silhouette with the Murcielago, along with some design elements from the Gallardo and also design edges of the Reventon. But even with all the shared design language, overall the car manages to look quite fresh and is very much what a new Lamborghini from the year 2011 should be like.

The cutting edge chassis, which with its carbon fibre monocoque and aluminium front and rear sub frames provides excellent torsional rigidity and weighs in at just 229kg, allowing for some serious weight saving overall.

The Aventador weighs just 1575kg – a full 90kg less than the Murcielago LP640-4.

Infact the technology is so advanced nowadays   that if  you want  to search Google on your phone “you can just tell the phone Vocally  “search restaurant” and it will search a nearby restaurant”

Local media channels have recently trying to bash the government on its new phone laws for outdated reasons. Under the new changes to australian law , it will be legal to make a call by the driver as long as the motorist is not holding the phone. ( which is fine in many ways because with new technology and blue tooth ,people don’t even have to press the answer button on thier phone or interact with their phone  buttons anymore to  take a call) , ( perhaps the media needs to know how new technology works ).

Under the existing laws it is illegal to make a call from a mobile phone while driving if it involves dialing a phone number. ( this law does not cover taking a call while driving , which is automatic if you have Bluetooth on) nor does this la take into account  the new technology which is getting inbuilt now into new European and possibly Australian cars soon , where you just command your car dashboard to call  your friends mobile number and you car calls your  friend via your mobile phone.

With old laws enforced and the political red tape involved to changing old laws to the current situation, we know how long sometimes it can take for relevant laws to be updated to take into account new technology.

Im glad they have taken a step forward and updated the laws in line with new technology and new smart phones  that allow you to make calls while driving with the most minimum of fuss instead of being stuck with outdated laws while the world has moved forward.

Though on the same note I’m not glad that they have a funny law that does not allow you to touch a phone to use the GPS function , when many phones double up as a full GPS unit nowadays.

Norton Now scans facebook WALL as well

Facebook has become a top social site on the web. More and more people spend a lot of time on Facebook, and this gives cybercriminals the opportunity to use Facebook to propagate malware. This feature lets users scan their feed for malicious URLs using Norton Safe Web. You get a report of the scan, which you can choose to share on your Facebook Wall.

Now  this is good to know about what is happening around the world , but wonder how much of my internet bandwidth it is eating, it probably wont make much  difference to me , but possibly would make a difference to some people in third world  or still developing countries  where internet bandwidth can be quite expensive.
