Where the Flock Did This Browser Come From



A revolutionary new browser that will take the browser wars to a new level

Once in a while a piece of software comes along that re-invents the internet landscape. You probably haven’t heard of ‘Flock’, but I guarantee you will be. Basically Flock is a new revolutionary browser that has it all, yes even the kitchen sink. If you are just a casual net surfer then this wonderful new browser will hardly blow wind up your skirt, but for the many internet freaks out there that the internet is there bread and butter, Flock will undoubtedly be the saviour of their world.

Flock was built on the foundations of Firefox, and once its installed there is no hassle at all migrating all your browser setting, passwords and favourites to Flock, the process is done seamlessly and although Flock seems a lot like Firefox it is all so much more powerful.

All your social sites fully integrate into flock, facebook, twitter, you name it. Flock has a very customizable My World tab featuring your favourite feeds, friend activity, favourite media, and favourite sites. You can totally manage facebook and even individually interact with face book friends with a very nifty People Sidebar. There’s also a neat Media Bar giving fast access to your favourite media streams complete with a video stream search facility for the major video stream sites such as Flickr and Youtube, there’s a RSS Feed Side Bar and let me not forget a time saving and Account and Services side bar. If you’re into blogging you can publish and update your Wordpress and Blogger blogs with the browsers blog editor.

You can easily ‘borrow’ web content and share it or drag and drop it onto your on sites all within the browser, to be honest I could keep going and going and going.

Although the best thing I love about this new browser is the total lack of hang-ups, it works seamlessly and is very responsive and despite the complete thrashing I gave it while opening twenty six tabs it never skipped a beat, not even once.

All in all I think Flock has something for everyone, net freaks around the world will love it as well as hard core internet marketers. Flock just seems to force you to get more done in a lot less time; it’s no doubt going to have the vast internet community ‘flocking’ to it.

Well done Mozilla! Internet Explorer won’t know what hit it!

New Facebook features open up a new world....


has just recently made some pretty big changes of late, the social networking website has somewhat split its customers profile into two sections, public and private or rather social and commercial.

The now private section is the same old we know and love, but the new private area of our profile I am sure we are going to adore.

This new commercial/public section comes in the form of pages, and is a great idea and a godsend for anyone who owns a small business or is into internet marketing. Basically through page manager you can setup a page or pages to advertise or marketing anything you want.

You are given all the basic tools to place content and advertising of other products, provide useful information and attract visitors or ‘fans’ and ultimately generate revenue. The page manager area also provides neat tools similar to google analytics to analyze traffic and make improvements.

Facilities on ’s Pages Add Manager include:

  • Advanced targeting: target a specific gender, location, interest
  • Content Integration: add content from various sources
  • Flexible Pricing: similar to google’s adwords
  • Trusted Referrals: reciprocal links, joint ventures

Also the page manager provides access and control to aspects and data such as page views, unique posts, fans, new fans, wall posts, discussion topics, reviews, photo views, audio plays and video plays.

So with just a quick look new of face book offers a goldmine of features for the budding internet marketer. Though still you can use as a social site, in fact it will make it easier as you have the added functionality of separating your well known and trusted friends from your long list of potential and established clients

No doubt the new changes will be expanded on in the near future, but for now the future of looks all that much brighter.

The True Value of Writing Articles


If you’re just new to Internet Marketing and you have heard somewhere that there is a real benefit in writing and submitting articles to article directories. Chances are you have written a few articles, haven’t seen any immediate results in traffic and given the idea away having decided that there can be other ways to better utilize your time and get better results.

But this could be further from the truth! Any professional Internet Marketer that is worth his salt will tell you never, ever underestimate the power of articles and article submission.

There are many extremely valuable benefits from submitting articles.

Provides instant back links to your site or Blog, search engines love Article Sites, this is because they are regularly updated with high quality content, therefore search engines use a laser like focus on articles sites and they go over them with a fine tooth comb. Therefore your links get excellent exposure as soon as your article goes online.

Your Articles have the potential to go Viral, the articles that you submit, over time; have the potential to go viral. What I mean is that someone might pick your article up and use it their website and blog. And as luck will have it, be polite enough to keep any links intact, this of course create even more back links to your site/blog with no effort on your part.

Articles get your face out there and builds prestige, having many high quality articles out there makes you familiar and familiarity breeds trust. It also consolidates your authority in your particular niche or subject. Everyone knows the effect Big Brother has on just the average Joe Bloe, well writing a large number of high quality articles over time will attract the same sort of fanfare. You may not get any television contracts, but you will be much more identifiable and accepted online once you become familiar and prolific.

Quality is the key, some marketers emphasize to ‘just get articles out there’ this is ok if you are new to Internet marketing, but for an article to have longevity and to obtain maximum mileage from your articles I cannot stress enough to develop your article writing prowess so that your articles actually get noticed, they have to jump off the screen at the reader. It’s only then, that they will get used elsewhere on the net and you will start to see the benefits of submitting articles snowball.

Below I have a list of the best Articles Sites to submit to in order of search engine weight......

  1. EzineArticles.com
  2. GoArticles.com
  3. Articledashboard.com
  4. SelfGrowth.com
  5. Buzzle.com
  6. ArticleCity.com
  7. ArticlesFactory.com

Of course there are many more, these just seem to be the most popular with the major search engines! For more tips and tricks on generating traffic for your website or blog please check out this product, it has to be the most best kept secret and the most valuable Internet Marketing product I have come across on the net.

Ready to Give up your day Job?



For anyone who wishes to give up their day job, it’s an appealing ambition to start a few blogs, watch them take off and quit the stress of the office life to sit in the comfort of your own home and live off of the advertising revenue.

Though despite the apparent success stories written mostly about events in our personal lives primarily for friends and family, the vast blogs on the internet today don’t really see great floods of traffic let alone see any fortunes made. Despite this, there are a select few people out there that do make a healthy income from blogging and have realized the recipe for success.



Here’s how the exceptions to the rule do it:

Pick a topic that interests you and that you know will interest your readers, technology, gadgets, computer games or subjects where you have the opportunity to solve problems for readers are good themes for blogs. But be careful about being too narrow and specific. You can only write so much about remedies for stretch marks, but there are literally volumes of valuable information you can write about in regards to the many issues, problems and remedies in respect to pregnancy.

Build up traffic
, I could write a dozen books on how to attract traffic to web sites and blogs but the basics involve reaching out to other bloggers, writing quality content that’s both entertaining and useful and updating that content regularly. Sometimes you can do all these three and still go relatively unnoticed on the web. The solution could be as simple as changing the title’s of your blogs to something that better catches viewers eyes.

Blogging is hardly a get rich scheme as many people expect their very first Blog to instantly become a smash hit. Even for experienced writers, a feel needs to be developed on what works on the web and what doesn’t and most people will give up due to a lack of results before they develop such a ‘feel’. Probably the best way to shorten your apprenticeship in blog writing is to read other peoples blogs, both good and bad. Look at the really popular blogs that attract thousands if not tens of thousands of visitors a month and try to emulate what they are doing.

Get a head start, after months of blogging and only seeing a gradual increase in regular traffic and new visitors I introduced an idea I learnt from business marketing. That is to spend 50% of my time studying what the competition is doing and spend 50% of my time trying to improve on it, and hey presto it worked! I was learning how to write content that attracted more visitors at a much faster rate so in the end I was doing less for more results.

Start strong, usually the first six months of a new blog are the hardest because a large amount of effort is involved just to make your blog visible and noticed among the many thousands that are out there. Create a strong momentum in this initial period and you have a much greater chance of seeing your blog make enough money to make payments on a new car.


Don’t rely purely on adsense,
while placing adsense ads on your blog is probably the quickest and easiest way to create revenue from your blog. The most successful bloggers use a combination of pay per click advertising and affiliates. Choosing one revenue type over the other will limit your income from your blog.

Multi stream you income,
while gaining revenue from both adsense and affiliate commissions, sometimes you blog posts are worthy enough to be morphed into articles and press releases which you can be paid for. Some bloggers have even secured freelance writing contracts from their blog posts.

Enjoy what you do,
you will find if you treat blogging like a job your passion just won’t be in it and this will feed back into your posts. Try and keep things interesting for yourself and enjoy yourself and not only will you find that the right words come more easily, you will be much more motivated and prolific and the end results will see the kind of online revenues you could only dream about!

Tip’s for using Adsense Ad’s

Tip’s for using Adsense Ad’s

There are literally dozens of tips for placing adsense advertisements on your webpage or blog with view of getting the maximum click through rates for your Ad’s.
For this post I will just give you the main tips for getting maximum clicks from your Ad’s.

The first thing is ‘Placement’, you wan’t your adsense ad’s to be placed as close as possible to the main content of your page as possible. The trick is to make the viewer feel the advertisements are not advertisements at all but are part of the main content of your page.

The best place would be at the top left area of your page as this is where we naturally look to start reading. Also along the vertical on the right hand side as this area is where our hand seems to spend most of it time while scanning a webpage.
Another trick to making adsense adverts look like the content on your page is to change the colour scheme to match your websites colour scheme.

Make the background of your adsesne ads the same as the background of your page as well as the border. Also make the text of your ads the same colour and font as the text of your content.

People have become immune to web adverts and tend to ignore them, but if you make your adverts look more like your content your page viewer will actaully give just as much attention to the adverts than the content and you will find your click through rate will show a marked increase.

Thin Affiliates, are you about to get slapped!



Thin Affiliates, are you about to get slapped!

Google has recently issued a strong warning on those using thin affiliate websites, this is very important for everyone in affiliate marketing; especially those who wish to cut corners and seek to get an affiliate site up in minutes by using thin affiliate sites.

Thin Affiliate sites are basically sites that purely act as doorway pages to the merchant site without offering any real value or quality content; obviously they serve little purpose other than to direct the customer to the merchant site. This practise of using ‘thin affiliates’ goes hand in hand with MLM or Multi Level Marketing.

Personally I have never been a big fan of Multi Level Marketing; to me it just seems too much like a Ponzi or pyramid scheme and now Google seems to agree.

Allan Gardyne outlines the effects in his article:
Google says: “We differentiate between affiliates that produce extra service, value, or content, and those that simply are duplicates of other sites, set up to boost traffic to other sites and earn a commission for it. The former ones are not offensive and should be rated on the merits to the query. The latter ones are Offensive…


“Thin affiliate doorways are sites that usher people to a number of Affiliate programs, earning a commission for doing so, while providing little or no value-added content or service to the user. A site certainly has the right to try to earn income; we’re attempting to identify sites that do nothing but act as a commission-earning middleman.”

Google also says: “Do not call a page affiliate spam when an affiliation is only incidental to the message and purpose of a website. To determine whether participation in affiliate programs is central or incidental to the site’s existence, ask yourself this question: Would this site remain a coherent whole if the pages leading to the affiliate (merchant) were taken away?”




That probably counts out most affiliate sites.

Ironically the quotes in the article were from a document Google uses to train human agents to evaluate its search engine for accuracy.

The moral of this whole story is this, there is no such thing as a ‘free lunch’. For everyone that has thrown out there dozens of thin affiliate sites that provide no viewer value, they can expect the mother of all slaps by Google.
