<title>Effective Ways to Increase Visitors to Your Triond Post</title>
<link>http://www.webupon.com/Marketing/Effective-Ways-to-Increase-Visitors-to-Your-Triond-Post.145835</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>As you know <a href="http://www.triond.com" target="_blank">Triond </a>had help us to increase the visitors to our post by recommending us to bookmark the post we had done or digg and stumbleupon. There are many sites we can bookmark with the help through Triond website.</p>
<p>Actually there is another way to promote our post in Triond. And it is much easier and more effective than bookmarking. It is by using feed URL. Feed is some sort of the latest update of your content in certain website or blog. It update automatically whenever you got new contents. If you understand well what it is, you will knew that, this will make all your marketing through the internet much easier than before. So I suggest you use Feed for all your content in all website, blog and others. If you recently read from Triond wordpress site <a href="http://triond.wordpress.com/2006/07/05/rss-feeds-on-content-sites/" target="_blank">here</a>, you can see that, there is a feed URL to our post in Triond.</p>
<p>For example, I got some pictures uploaded in Triond, when I click at my name which is under the title of the pictures (by <a href="http://www.picable.com/feed/w/35509" target="_blank">ksoleh</a>), it will show all the pictures that I have uploaded. Try click at the <a href="http://www.picable.com/feed/w/35509" target="_blank">Subscribe by RSS</a> there. You will see feed post made by me. Copy the feed URL there and put the URL at RSS submission. You can search RSS submission through <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>.</p>
<p>If you can see now, actually you can do a lot with the Feed URL there and make your life much easier than before to tell people about your content in Triond.</p>
<p>Here are some examples:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<h3>Link the Feed URL at your blog.</h3>
&amp;nbsp;For example in <a href="http://www.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Blogspot</a>, you can add a &amp;ldquo;Feed&amp;rdquo; page element at your Blogspot and enter your Triond Feed URL there. Remember, your Picable Feed and your Authspot Feed are different, so you might well want to add two or three page element at your blog to tell everyone about your post in Triond by using the Feed element and your Feed URL there.</li>
<li>
<h3>If you can ask your friend to subscribe by email, it will be better.</h3>
&amp;nbsp;Every time you got new post in Triond, whether it is in Authspot or Picable or Cooknote, your friend will notice your new post. This is very effective if you got so many friends subscribing your Feed URL. Through email. Remember, they have to subscribe each of it, Authspot, Picable and others to receive update of your post in different sites.</li>
<li>
<h3>Thirdly is like in the Instruction above.</h3>
Just submit to as many RSS submission as you can. You can search through Google where to submit the URL Feed.</li>
<li>
<h3>This is the best way.</h3>
If you got <a href="http://www.mybloglog.com/ " target="_blank">Mybloglog</a>, you actually can create a Triond site there and submit your Feed URL there. Who knows, if you got many contacts and friends in Mybloglog, you might well get a lot of visitor to your post in Triond as they would see your recent post through Mybloglog </li>
</ol>
<p>That's all folks. Till then, keep in touch to my post.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FMarketing%2FEffective-Ways-to-Increase-Visitors-to-Your-Triond-Post.145835"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FMarketing%2FEffective-Ways-to-Increase-Visitors-to-Your-Triond-Post.145835" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>The B10s Pick: Guitarists</title>
<link>http://www.webupon.com/Video/The-B10s-Pick-Guitarists.126799</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>So I put "Billy Bad Ass" here on number five. Almost everyone I know has seen this guy play Johann Pachelbel's Cannon on his guitar with a Green Day like sound and drum backing. No doubt that this kid is talented and with continued practice will become a great studio guitarist.</p>

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1FS5uj-1F50&amp;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1FS5uj-1F50&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

<p>OKAY I know there are two guys on one guitar. That already rocks. One guy for bass and the better of the two picking out banjo like melodies. These guys really have their stuff together. The song that they chose to cover is Jerry's Breakdown written by Jerry Reed and together is spot on. Very nice.</p>
 
<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i4BYMvVvMg0&amp;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i4BYMvVvMg0&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
 
<p>Impossible guitar work, or at least sounds that way... Damn this guy can tap his fingers on that fret board like no other. His sound is very unique and along with that acoustic guitar makes a nice listen.</p>
 
<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r2BOApUvFpw&amp;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/r2BOApUvFpw&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
 
<p>Andy is and will always be my favorite acoustic guitar player. He used something I never thought possible, a creative and awesome tap-style guitar along side his hand slaps for a drum beat. WOW! I dig how the song sounds like a rainy day but not dark almost like the sun is still shining.</p>

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ddn4MGaS3N4&amp;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ddn4MGaS3N4&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
 
<p>Rick Renstrom is the best guitarist ever. The End.</p>

<link>http://www.webupon.com/Marketing/How-to-Get-Loads-of-Traffic-to-Your-Website.126018</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>This is goldmaker time.. Ready for this one? I've just spent the last couple of hours outlining all of the methods I could think of to drive traffic to your website, and increase it exponentially! (and mine)</p>
<p>Here goes:</p>
<p>1. Comments on blogs, remembering to leave the url of your website.<br />2. Posting your link on social bookmarking websites (use bookmarking demon)<br />3. Using mailing lists with autoresponders.<br />4. Writing articles and submitting them around the web with your link at the bottom.<br />5. Using software to submit your website to all of the search engines.<br />6. Use online advertising such as adwords, use keywords that are related to your product, make sure that you mention these on your website.<br />7. Create an affiliate marketing program, get other people to drive traffic to your site for you!<br />8. Using search engine optimization (use the correct keywords in your pages)<br />9. Create an xml sitemap of your website (for <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>) - increases the chance of your entire website being indexed<br />10. Submit your website to directories (such as dmoz.org) in the correct, relevant category.<br />11. Start a blog, post as many articles on your blog each day as humanly possible,<br />12. Create your own comments on your blog and remove comments that are negative/spam.<br />13. Use social networking websites such as <a href="http://www.myspace.com" target="_blank">MySpace</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, Linkedin, etc. and add as many people as you know and dont know. <br />14. Word of mouth. Tell everybody about your website.<br />15. Create a T-Shirt, put your website address on it and keep wearing it every day and show it off.<br />16. Create a Resell-Rights/giveaway product,distribute it to the membership sites for people to sell-on. Have links back to your website within the product.<br />17. Do a podcast, talk about what you do, throw in a couple of tunes. Mention the website<br />18. Get on radio shows, talking about your product, mention the website.<br />19.

Viral marketing, do something outlandish with your product.<br />24. Post press releases on your website, this will increase your search engine ranking.<br />25. Traffic Exchanges - Advertising where each click on your website will make a click on someone elses.<br />26. Use Link Exchange websites (a bit out of date now)<br />27. Use WebRing websites, link in with those that are related to your topic (also a bit out of date now, but might be relevant for your category)<br />28. Create a group on yahoo, etc. on the subject of what you do.<br />29. Be active on forums, DO Create a signature with a link back to your website.<br />30. Chat. Talk with people on IRC, ICQ, MSN, Skype, etc. about your product. DO NOT spam, thats a bad move, ease yourself in there slowly.<br />31. Buying traffic in bulk - there are websites that will sell you 1000's of visitors for a very good price.<br />32. Write a glowing testimonial of a product, and get them to include your name and website.<br />33. Sponsor someone else's mailing list! Its a great way to get traffic, and it will be targeted as well.<br />34. Make your website worth coming back to, whether its a forum, a message board, search etc.<br />35.

<title>Facebook: Communication Necessity or Fad? </title>
<link>http://www.webupon.com/Social-Networks/Facebook-Communication-Necessity-or-Fad.121131</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Since its release in February of 2004, the online social network known as Facebook has had over forty-three million members register. This website allows people to find and connect with friends, send messages, create groups based on beliefs and interests, create and advertise events and create detailed personal profiles. With Facebook and internet use becoming so popular (and reachable via school labs, libraries, etc), Facebook itself is supposedly becoming the main way of communication for a majority of people. Facebook as a mean of communication impacts youth from elementary schools to high schools to universities. It also impacts working and unemployed adults and, in some cases, seniors.</p>
<p>But what about other means of communication such as phone calls, chat rooms and instant messengers, emails and talking in person? Is the high use of Facebook really because it happens to be convenient or are people becoming too lazy and rushed to take the time to write a letter or email? People add supposed &amp;ldquo;friends&amp;rdquo; to their Facebook accounts but do they treat them like friends and talk like friends do? Would the person bother to take the effort to communicate with the supposed &amp;ldquo;friend&amp;rdquo; outside of Facebook?  What we're asking here is basically: is Facebook taking over the world of communication?</p>
<p>Facebook is becoming increasingly popular among people young and old, but especially the young. Facebook is the latest fad, and it's becoming a huge part of pop culture. This is affecting our society because the meaning of true communication is deteriorating. &amp;ldquo;Facing Facts on Facebook: Are you really over him as you think?&amp;rdquo; written by Sarah Lolley discusses how people go on Facebook for three main reasons. Reason number one is being a popularity contest which can help raise or emphasize a person's status<strong>,</strong> number two is contacting old friends and number reason three is looking up your past significant others. This article suggests that Facebook is becoming a social utility for communication among adolescents.</p>
<p>The article &amp;ldquo;The Virtual Cutting Edge: The Internet and Adolescent Self -Injury&amp;rdquo;, written by Janis L Whitlock, discusses the prevalence of increased internet use among adolescents. The author believes that the rate is so high in adolescence because it serves the &amp;ldquo;purpose of connecting with others&amp;rdquo; (Whitlock, 2006). This article supports the fact that adolescents are using internet as a main source of communication thus taking away from the rate of in-person communication. &amp;ldquo;More then 80% of the American youth 12 to 17 years of age use the Internet and log on daily. Research shows that however adolescents use the internet mainly for social reasons,&amp;rdquo; (Whitlock, 2006).</p>
<p>In another article, written by Naomi S. Baron, it is argued that computer-mediated communication does provide opportunities for adolescents to increase their social interaction. However, in the end, it's solely in the hand of parents, how they were brought up and their traditional views about communication. The author argues that if the person is grounded in their family traditions, they will not resort to using online communication systems as their main form of communication.</p>
<p>The chosen independent variables are females versus males and full-time students versus full-time employees. We chose females versus males because females tend to very actively socialize in crowds, especially ones which enforce conformity, whereas males, although social, tend to be more laid back regarding social networks. The hypothesis is that females will be registered with and use Facebook more then males because it used as more of a popularity contest. It also allows for more diverse communication between friends and family<strong>.</strong> <br /> Students versus employees was chosen because students have more time and reason to access the internet. Students normally have a more active social life and have access to the internet via libraries and computer labs whereas full-time employees have the tendency of not having time or putting time towards a social life. Accessibility to leisurely internet activities may be limited to these employees as well therefore they most likely use other forms of communication including phone calls and chatting in person. Therefore, the hypothesis for full-time students versus full-time employees is that students will be more likely to be registered with and spend more time on Facebook.  Students will utilize Facebook more then employees because most students are young and are familiar with technology and online communication.</p>
<p>In this research study, a full-time student is defined as any respondent who is a registered student at Loyalist College and is taking over half of the required courses within the semester. We defined a full-time employee as any respondent who is working at least 30 to 40 hrs a week.</p>
<p>Fortunately for this research project, use of a questionnaire was chosen over other methods (interviews, etc) for being cheaper and because conducting them takes less time. General disadvantages of conducting questionnaires include possible irrelevance of the topic being researched to those being questioned, the inability to generalize the results, misinterpretation of questions by the participants and the possibility that respondents could record fake answers. Also, the use of questionnaires can have the inability to appeal to certain groups in society including seniors, children and the handicapped.</p>
<p>In our questionnaire, we used dichotomous questions including &amp;ldquo;your gender: male or female&amp;rdquo;, &amp;ldquo;are you a: full-time student or full-time employee&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;do you check your Facebook account daily: yes or no&amp;rdquo;. Dichotomous questions are multiple choice questions where there are only two options to choose from. This allowed for us to differentiate between the people representing our independent variables. It also allowed a simple analysis regarding whether or not a majority of responding Facebook users check their accounts daily.</p>
<p>One multiple choice question was used, see the questionnaire (question 4), regarding how much time per week our responding Facebook users spend on Facebook itself. This gives us a more in-depth look at how relevant Facebook is in our respondents' weekly timeframes. A rank-order question was also used, see the questionnaire (question six), to determine the ranking of Facebook as a main mean of communication versus other methods including talking in person, phone calls, emails, etc.</p>
<p>The people studied were those who represented our independent variables. These people included and were limited to male and female full-time students and full-time employees. To reach our full-time student respondents, twenty questionnaires were conducted in the Parrot Centre of Loyalist College during regular class hours. To reach our full-time employed respondents, the remaining questionnaires were conducted during a weekday in the early afternoon at the Quinte Mall, a time when a majority of the mall workers happen to be full-time. Because we had four independent variables (male versus female and employee versus student), our goal was to have a total of twenty females and twenty males. Twenty of these would hopefully be full-time employees while the other twenty would be full-time students.</p>
<p>To get our sample, stratified random sampling was used. From our populations of full-time students and full-time employees, we randomly chose twenty of each using their gender as the stratifying variable. A general advantage of stratified random sampling is that one can improve how well the sample represents a population.</p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Previously, we hypothesized that regarding males versus females, the majority of Facebook registration and use would be done by our female respondents. This hypothesis turned out to be correct. All twenty of our female respondents were registered and active on Facebook. Our questionnaire found that 85% of the females, with males standing at 82%, spend more than thirty minutes using Facebook per week.</p>
<p>It was also hypothesized that full-time students would be more likely to be registered and active with Facebook than full-time employees. This hypothesis also turned out to be somewhat correct. Out of our twenty responding full-time students, 95% (19/20) were registered with Facebook. With our twenty responding full-time employees, 90% (18/20) were registered with Facebook. 84% of the Facebook-using students spend more than thirty minutes per week on the website. However, more than thirty minutes are spent on Facebook by 89% of the full-time employees who are registered.</p>
<h3>Conclusion<br /></h3>
<p>To elaborate on the discussion of the results' correlation with the hypothesis, out of the twenty female users, 70% of them check and spend time on Facebook on a daily basis whereas only 53% of our male respondents do so. 63% of the registered full-time students take part in Facebook activities daily compared to 61% of registered full-time employees.<br /> Despite previous research stating a majority of youth now use the internet as one of their main means of social interaction, our own research found that a majority of our female respondents (42%) and male respondents (32%) use Facebook as their 4th most commonly used communication device. Regarding our students and employees, our full-time students prefer to use Facebook as their 3rd and 4th (tied at 32%) means of communication but our full-time employees use it as their 4th (47%) and 5th (21%) ranked means of communication. Just by looking over the completed questionnaires, we were able to see that most of our participants preferred to use more personal means of communication including talking on the phone or face-to face.</p>
<p>With a majority of our respondents having some sort of income or financial assistance, most of them can afford to have phone lines which could be a factor in why such personal means are preferred. Another thing is that some of them can't afford their own computers so even though there is usually easy access to computers in labs and libraries, the amount of time one can spend on Facebook, and the internet as a whole, is effected</p>
<p>Regarding our sampling method, one could say we cheated the stratified random selection of our sample because we made sure we had twenty students and twenty employees. Then we made sure we chose an equal amount males and females. However, we can say that there was indeed randomization because once we found our students and employees and found groups of males and females from each category; we randomly selected males and females from those gender groups.</p>
<p>We believe the content validity, which is concerned with the coverage quality of the covered content (i.e. how much time is spent on Facebook), is decent because we cover a wide variety of dependent variables (number of hours spent on Facebook, which methods of communication are used). During the research study as a whole, we had a great amount of inter-observer reliability. Even though Deneem and myself worked independently most of the time and had different samples (she worked with the students, I worked with the employees), we gained similar, correlating results.</p>
<p>With there being hundreds of students at Loyalist, a few hundred Quinte Mall employees and only a total of forty respondents in our study, it can be argued that our study lacks generalizability. If we had a larger sample of chosen students and employees, our findings would be more applicable to larger populations of students and employees.</p>
<p>Some limiting factors during our study included time. Different aspects of research take more time than others so with a limited amount of time; we had to be very time-orientated. We also made our own, and tried to meet, personal deadlines to ensure everything would get done within an appropriate timeframe. Another limiting factor was the availability of the people within our samples. Most of our students did not hesitate to take the time to fill out our questionnaire. With the employees, some new respondents had to be selected because some of the originally selected employees were unable to participate because of being too busy or because of rules set by their place of employment.</p>
<p>Ethical considerations included anonymity. With the questionnaires being anonymous, respondents would be more likely to write down truthful answers than if they had to write their name with their answers. We also gave respondents rights of privacy by not asking in-depth questions such as what exactly they do or talk about when communicating with others.</p>

<![CDATA[<p>Mostly when people are online, they tend to chat with their friends and family, and sometimes even strangers. They mostly pretend to be someone they are not, but mostly the other side also knows that.</p>
 
<p>Sometimes flirts are online in chat rooms and they don't hesitate in giving their email addresses and asking others the same in return. Sometimes these people go as far as to exchange house addresses and phone numbers. I remember that in my early days of using internet, this person went as far as giving me his phone number and house address. i immediately signed off.</p>
 
<p>But not all times are bad, I mean, sometimes even you can fool those people. Like, the time when I was in a chat room and a person requested to chat. I agreed. After "Hello, hi" I asked him (or maybe her) about chat rules. This was meant to make a conversation. He/she gave me some excellent advice but also said "You know, It's not that bad as to give ur phone no. or email id to people online, u can make some cool friends and share info" and I answered the person " Yeah, and it ain't bad to hack the other person's comp, either. This way you can actually share info. I have your A.P no. mister." that obviously scared the person, for he signed off at once. Don't worry, I'm no hacker. I don't even know how to hack!</p>
 
<p>But not always chatters are fraud. I mean, I have two cool friends and we became friends after we chat. But we don't share personal information, just our public email addresses.</p>
 
<p>Basically, the thing is that you should be very clever and alert while chatting in chat rooms. Nobody knows the truth there. You don't know whether the person you are talking to is fooling you or not. Whether they are telling you the truth or not.</p>
 
<p>Here are some tips which should keep you safe:</p>
 <ol>
<li>Never use your real name while chatting. Make a nickname and use that. You can use that nick anywhere. This way people will know that it's you and they won't have your personal info.</li>
<li>Never give out your asl (age/ sex/ land) info. that thing needs to be safe and secure.</li>
<li>Never give out your email address. Once a dishonest person's got your email address, they can use it to harass or abuse you. If you are not sure, make a public email address. Give that.</li>
<li>Never believe a person in Chatrooms unless you are dead sure. If i tell you that I'm Emma Watson or Lindsay Lohan, or some millianaire, are you going to believe it?</li>
<li>If anyone tries to be flirty or abusing, report that person. If he/she is on your messenger, block him/her. Immediately.</li>
<li>If a person has got your email address, and he/she is abusing you, don't answer. If the person bombards you with emails. Report that email address and change your email address, immediately. Who knows how many email addresses that person's got? (Read rule#3)</li>
</ol> 
<p>Anyway, that's for now.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FWeb-Talk%2FChatrooms.118126"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FWeb-Talk%2FChatrooms.118126" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Who Gave Them a URL?! 10 Totally Oddball Websites </title>
<link>http://www.webupon.com/Web-Talk/Who-Gave-Them-a-URL-10-Totally-Oddball-Websites.97673</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>The Internet is a maze of interesting and sometimes bazaar activities and entertainment that millions of people participate in everyday life. For some people this means the weirder the better and to be perfectly honest, sometimes the weird is a purer form of entertainment, because it requires a greater creative ability to make the weird enjoyable.</p>


<h3><a href="http://distefano.com" target="_blank"><img border= "0" alt="" src="%%IMG10%%" /></a></h3>


<p>
Stop worrying about what to get that person who already has everything, because unless the person that you know is a closet serial killer, then they probably don't have one of these. At “Corpses For Sale” you can purchase an incredibly realistic full body corpse with rotting flesh, teeth and yellow fingernails. The corpses are not real, but the expert craftsman sure makes one stop and take a double take and the reason, is because they look so real.</p>	



 
<h3><a href="http://www.darrenbarefoot.com/hall/main.php" target="_blank"><img border= "0" alt="" src="%%IMG7%%" /> </a></h3>
 

<p>
Looking for a bit of nerd humor with a tad of geekiness? This website offers an assortment of actual technical signs that are not normally funny, but these signs come complete with humorous captions that makes them funny to look at and to think about.</p>













 
<h3><a href="http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/mot_mib/index.html" target="_blank"><img border= "0" alt="" src="%%IMG6%%" /> </a></h3>


<p>
The website introduces an amazing illusion that will have you seeing dots for the rest of the day. Watch a rotating board containing three yellow dots and one green dot, that are there in front of your eyes one second and gone the next second. This is a really cool optical illusion that will capture your attention for the next few minutes.</p>


















<h3><a href="http://nobodys-perfect.com/vtpm/index.html" target="_blank"><img border= "0" alt="" src="%%IMG3%%" /> </a></h3>


<p>
Built to pay tribute to one of the world's most relied on consumer products “Toilet Paper”. This website presents an extensive collection of brands of toilet paper that range from the mundane to the exceedingly rare. This is a comprehensive Internet resource for learning about toilet paper.</p>


 
<h3><a href="http://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/%7eakitaoka/index-e.html" target="_blank"><img border= "0" alt="" src="%%IMG4%%" /> </a></h3>


<p>
Now, for a fun and dizzying activity that will freak out your mind and confuse your senses. Some sensitive observers may become dizzy and/or sick, so if you are one of these people, then you should leave the site immediately.</p>

<h3><a href="http://www.angryalien.com" target="_blank"><img border= "0" alt="" src="%%IMG5%%" /> </a></h3>


<p>
Angry Alien has created a new twist on the typical movie review. In 30-seconds, visitors can watch a troupe of bunnies re-enact some of the best movies of all-time in a movie parody sort of way. Some of these movies parody are absolutely hilarious and a must to watch. My personal favorites are: Borat, Jaws, The Grudge and Star Wars.</p>






 
<h3><a href="http://www.drmegavolt.com" target="_blank"><img border= "0" alt="" src="%%IMG8%%" /> </a></h3>


 <p>
Sure, Dr Mega Volt is a tad bit weird and completely out of his mind. Anyone who would knowingly put himself in an electrifying situation has to be included in an article entrenched in the world of weird. This guy has either a death wish or he has found a job that pays really, really well.</p>



 
<h3><a href="http://hewgill.com/threat" target="_blank"><img border= "0" alt="" src="%%IMG9%%" /> </a></h3>
 

<p>
The Department of Homeland Security introduced in 2002, the Homeland Security Advisory System that features a color-coded warning bar scale that ranges from green (Low-risk) to red (Severe-risk). Now, you can get you very own to download onto your computer for free. I don't know why anyone would want one of these, but there are some weird things that people want for some strange reason.</p>

<title>Tips On How to Promote MyLot</title>
<link>http://www.webupon.com/Social-Networks/Tips-On-How-to-Promote-MyLot.93611</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.mylot.com" target="_blank">MyLot</a> by far is a great program for blogging and making threads. A great site to meet new people and to make friends. For how many methods and strategies there is to make earnings using Mylot.</p>
 
<p>I use these tips all the time and it works for me. So then this can work for you. Anything is possible to gain referrals.</p>
 
<h3><a href="http://www.myspace.com" target="_blank">MySpace</a></h3>
<p>MySpace has a blog section you can post your Mylot referral ads. But do not post them on your profile or leave them as a bulletin or message - As usual that's forbidden, so the trick and secret is to post it only as a blog. Invite many many friends from Myspace - get to know them at first and until they are comfortable then refer them to read you blogs like saying "If you're serious into making money on the internet, feel free to check my blogs - it is the thing to do nowadays."</p>
 
<h3><a href="http://www.friendster.com" target="_blank">Friendster</a></h3>
<p>Similar to MySpace but the same method follows, don't post Mylot referral links on your profile, do not bulletin it or do not message them to your friends. Post it only as a blog.</p>
 
<h3><a href="http://www.yuwie.com" target="_blank">Yuwie</a></h3>
<p>You can check my site for more info about Yuwie. For one it is also like MySpace &amp;amp; Friendster but of course this site pays it users and of course using this site you can also gain many referrals. Now back to the topic it's a little bit different here - because you can post your Mylot referral links in your profile, message them to your friends or post them as blogs and it is easier to create a club in Yuwie about MyLot and have members or non members to join. Be creative and start sharing tips and helpful information why Mylot is a great site to join into making money on the internet.</p>
 
<h3>Blogpost Sites</h3>
<p>This is a big key factor into getting referrals as well. Post it as a blog and give a advertisement reason why to join MyLot.</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.bigcrumbs.com" target="_blank">Big Crumbs</a></h3>
<p></p>
<p>This is a bigger advantage of gaining many referrals to MyLot likewise with Yuwie. The purpose of Big Crumbs is that you get to advertise free referrals also it's kind of like eBay because you can promote items there you sale online or even refer people to other sites to buy items or even shop online from other users. But the key is to gain referrals which is a bigger advantage.</p>
 
<p>And of course invite your relatives, families, friends that you know. This is a great and fun site as you all already know. The key factor of course is active referral members that use this system. If you're getting the point about how it works put it this way - When you have active referrals in MyLot - you get bonus earnings from them when they participate using MyLot.</p>
 
<p>It's always been like that as well with any other paying site. The more referrals, the more they're active, the more bonus earnings are added to your account.</p>
 
<p>So then I hope you all do well into gaining referrals and also grow in the Mylot community. Happy MyLotting!</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FSocial-Networks%2FTips-On-How-to-Promote-MyLot.93611"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FSocial-Networks%2FTips-On-How-to-Promote-MyLot.93611" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Are Our Kids Really Safe on Social Networks?</title>
<link>http://www.webupon.com/Web-Talk/Are-Our-Kids-Really-Safe-on-Social-Networks.89181</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>I think the key is to keep a close eye on your kids while they use the internet.  Use parental controls on your computers at home.  I know it's impossible to keep tabs on our children all the time, so we must communicate with them, and let them know what is acceptable and what is not.</p>
 
<p>To prove my point about the social networks, I actually made a fake profile.  I created a fake email address, then found a stock photo of someone and used it as my picture.  It's that easy.  And it's that scary.  Everything I posted on this fake profile is all a lie.  No one asked for my age.  I can be anything I want, and no one would question me.  If I can do that, then who's to say there aren't people out there, grown people, pretending to be children; just waiting for the perfect moment to abduct an innocent child, or even worse.</p>
 
<p>I created this profile just to see if it could be done.  It was so easy.  Someone with excellent computer skills could do all sorts of horrible things, as I'm sure they already do.</p>
 
<p>It's important we talk to our children and let them know that if they have a profile on one of these social networks, that they only talk to people they know, and keep their profile private.</p>
 
<p>Even doing all of these things, it can still be dangerous.  You never know what some sick people do to get to children.  I know these social networking pages will never be outlawed, but they need some type regulation to keep children safe.  The rules they have now are just not good enough.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FWeb-Talk%2FAre-Our-Kids-Really-Safe-on-Social-Networks.89181"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FWeb-Talk%2FAre-Our-Kids-Really-Safe-on-Social-Networks.89181" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>15 Unusually Useful Websites Where the Things That You Want are Just a Trade Away</title>
<link>http://www.webupon.com/Services/15-Unusually-Useful-Websites-Where-the-Things-That-You-Want-are-Just-a-Trade-Away.87606</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[																								<p>Most people on the Internet who are looking for good deals normally choose to shop with traditional retailers or they may place a bid at their favorite auction website. There is another way to land a fantastic deal and that doesn't requireperson to pay an arm and a leg after the deal is done. Consider the art of swapping your old or unwanted items you have for unwanted items other people have for example.</p>
 



<p>
<img alt="" src="%%IMG1%%" /></p>








<p>This article was inspired after following the bartering (swapping) skills of a man named Kyle MacDonald and his website 
<a target="_blank" href="http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com">“One Red Paperclip"</a>. Kyle, Swapped his self from one trade to another, until he had himself his very own house. Amazingly, he managed to swap himself to a house in only fourteen trades.</p>
 
<p>Now, I am not suggesting that anyone can do what Kyle MacDonald did, but if you never try, then you will never know. Even if your idea isn't so grand as swapping until you achieve something big, it is cheaper than buying new or bidding in an auction. You can still swap your old things for the things that you want and only be responsible for paying the cost of shipping the things you have agreed to swap with another member(s).</p>
 
<p>This list isn't a Top 10 list, but if it were, then I would suspect that this list would look pretty much the same as I have it right now. So, enjoy!</p>
 
<h3>Books, CDs, DVDs Swaps</h3>
 
<p><a href="http://www.bookmooch.com" target="_blank">Bookmooch</a></p>
 
<p>Exchange used books with other BookMooch members and “Get” the book(s) that you want in return. There is no cost to participate in the BookMooch community. Only pay for the actual shipping of the books that you agree to swap.</p>
 
<p><a href="http://www.paperbackswap.com" target="_blank">Paper Back Swap</a></p>
 
<p>Swap paperback Books, CDs and DVDs with other members of Paperback Swap. Membership is currently free. Like with any swapping community, members are responsible for paying the actual shipping cost for the products that they have agreed to swap.</p>
 
<p><a href="http://www.swapsimple.com/how_swapsimple_works.jsp" target="_blank">Swap Simple</a></p>
 
<p>SwapSimple makes swapping books, DVDs and video games really easy and simple. List the books, DVDs and video games simply by entering the UPC code that is printed on the DVDs or video games or enter the ISBN number that is printed on the back cover of the books into the swap listing tools and SwapSimple will take care of the rest. Swap with members who are included in your swap network free and only pay $1.00 or $2.00 per swap, if you are swapping with members outside of your swap network. Swaps are backed with a 100% Money Back Guarantee. Membership is free and required.</p>
 
<p><a href="http://www.sequentialswap.com" target="_blank">Sequential Swap</a></p>

<p>Swapstyle.com describes itself as “an online fashion swap party where you can swap, sell and buy fashion, accessories, cosmetics, shoes and lots more with people from all around the world at any time, day or night”. This is a fantastic idea in my opinion, because it can save its members a lot of money on the name brand fashions and cosmetics that are normally purchased at retailers at high markups. Members can also participate in forums and discuss the latest fashion trends, sales and/or whatever comes to your mind at the time. Members are only responsible for paying the actual shipping costs associated with the items that they have traded or sold and the other members are responsible for paying for the actual shipping of the things that they agreed to swap with you. Membership is free and required.</p>
 
<p><a href="http://www.makeupalley.com/swap/searching.asp" target="_blank">Make Upalley</a></p>
 
<p>Ladies here is your chance to swap cosmetics that you own, but don't use for cosmetics that other members have and you want. We're talking about name brand cosmetics - the expensive stuff. Members are only responsible for covering the shipping costs for the cosmetics that they have agreed to swap. Members can read products reviews or write a review on the products that you have used. Participate in forums and meet other members, so that you can get to know the people that you might want to make a swap with later. Membership is free and required.</p>
 
<h3>Swap Anything</h3>
 
<p><a href="http://www.uswapit.com/howitworks.aspx" target="_blank">U Swap It</a></p>
 
<p>Members of the Swapit.com community can swap anything that they desire with other members and for the things that they want.

<p>Here is another fine swapping community that allows its members to swap, buy or sell things in a new and different way. Members can swap, buy or sell services, skills or things that they have for services, skills or things that other members have and you want.

<p><a href="http://www.swapaskill.com" target="_blank">Swap a Skill</a></p>

This is a great website for individuals who process a skill (artistic, musical, engineer, plumber, electrician, or just about any type of skill that you can think of can probably be found here at Swap-A-Skill at times. Basic membership is free, but there are some costs associated with membership upgrades, if you so choose to upgrade your membership. Be sure to read the membership agreement, before signing up.</p>
 
<p><a href="http://www.swaptermpapers.com" target="_blank">Swap Term Papers</a></p>
 
<p>Swap Termpapers have 10,000 termpapers intheir database and members can swap a quality termpaper that they have written for a termpaper that Swap Termpapers have in their database (termpaper that you need). The termpaper exchange is free as long as the member has a quality termpaper to trade-in, otherwise members can purchase a termpaper from Swap Termpapers at the going rate. “Swap Termpapers has termpapers, essays, book reports, book reviews and thesis papers written the way that you need them”, according to Swap Termpapers.</p>

<p>No Membership Required. Just simply draw something and once your masterpiece is finished, then submit your drawing, so you can receive a drawing that someone else has drawn. Personally, I think this is a neat little website even though there is not much to it. Sometime simple is better.</p>
 
<p><a href="http://www.file-swap.com" target="_blank">File Swap</a></p>
 
<p>FileSwap enables visitors to swap computer files, photos, music, wallpapers, audio files, animated icons, videos or even PDF and text files, quick and simple. Use the browse button to retrieve the file or files that you want to swap and hit the Swap button to continue. After the file you have selected has been entered into the system, then you will receive a random file that someone else has submitted. Yes, it is kind of like playing the lottery, but your chances of winning something interesting is far better than the lottery.</p>
 
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
 
<p>This was a fun article to write. I hope that I have been able to introduce you to a whole new world, where the things that you want today can be swapped for, while you have fun and save money.</p>
 
<p>If you know of any other websites that you believe are better than these in this article or you just believe should have been included, then leave a link to them with your comment. I do check weblinks and I will remove any weblink that leads to adult websites or any illegal website.</p>																					<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FServices%2F15-Unusually-Useful-Websites-Where-the-Things-That-You-Want-are-Just-a-Trade-Away.87606"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FServices%2F15-Unusually-Useful-Websites-Where-the-Things-That-You-Want-are-Just-a-Trade-Away.87606" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>How to Find the Real News</title>
<link>http://www.webupon.com/Web-Talk/How-to-Find-the-Real-News.81374</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>The Real News, were can get you it? as it has become increasingly difficult to find sites online that are reliable and tell the truth without putting personal opinions in their information, this question has started to pop up all over the Internet. now there are many sites that are out there trying to "inform" us on whats going on, but how do you tell who's telling the truth, and who's pulling shit out of their ass.</p>
 
<p>One way is to always look who wrote the article that you are reading and then do a little research, maybe type his name into Google and see what kind of other articles that author has written. By doing this you will most likely be able to determine what his political view are by the kind of things they have written.</p>
 
<p>Another Great way is once you find a author who has written something you like, look at his other work and see were it is on the Internet, there are a lot of sites out there that update quite frequently and have very good writers.</p>
 
<p>Here is a list of sites that I personally deem worth of telling The Real Truth.</p>
 <ol>
<li>
<h3><a href="/" target="_blank">Project Censored</a></h3>
This is a wonderful site that is updated fairly frequently and has very good information about situations the regular media censored.</li>
<li>
<h3><a href="/" target="_blank">Want to Know?</a></h3>
This is another great site for censored media subjects, so check it out when you get a chance.</li>
<li>
<h3><a href="/" target="_blank">Bsnorrell</a></h3>
This is another site i enjoy reading as they have very good content.</li>
</ol> 
<p>All of the above sites i highly recommend for everyone to read and review as they tell s a lot about whats going on in our world that some people would rather have us not know.</p>
 
<p>I would love it if you all would like to hold some arguments about this as that is what really makes people think, and if you have any input on this article with all means PLEASE let me know.</p>
 
<p>also if you know of any other good sites that tell the truth let me know and  i will put them on the list and will credit you for supplying the information.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FWeb-Talk%2FHow-to-Find-the-Real-News.81374"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FWeb-Talk%2FHow-to-Find-the-Real-News.81374" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
