I’ve had this Landing page / Site template sitting around for some time. I honestly can’t remember where I got it.
I see people selling these for $40 - $60 and think it’s pretty ridiculous. Something like this can be created in about 20 minutes.

I don’t use it for anything ( not that I won’t in the future) and it’s not exclusive so if you’re worried about that, don’t bother.
You can see a demo of the page here (demos are no longer working), Obviously there’s no content. You’ll have to do that your self. It would be pretty simple to add or remove pages or customize it any way you like.

I’ve validated it at W3C and it has no errors.
The download link will be at the bottom of this post but just want to get the FAQ out of the way so here it is…

• Q: Will you help me set this up or support this in the future?
• A: Absolutely not! It’s free, what more do you want? If you want to use it feel free, but once you download it, I don’t ever want to hear from you about something being broken or questions on how to do something. Take it, and go away.

It may not last long depending on how many down loads there are. Bandwidth isn’t free ya know. Anyway, you can Download it Here, Enjoy!

Submitting your website to directories can increase traffic to your website and give you better exposure in search engines. It will help raise your search engine rankings and natural search engine traffic can increase significantly. This is due in part, to several or even hundreds of websites linking to yours. Below is a list of 550 free Directories. The more you can submit too the better. You could always hire a submission service to do it for you too. Me, I’m too cheap.

I just submit to 10 or 20 a day and before you know it, you’ve submitted to hundreds or even thousands. One thing I would do is set up an email address just for this purpose.
I have one I set up on one of my hosting packages, it’s simply submissions@someemail.com. That way any request for verification or any garbage that sometimes comes submitting goes there. It’s all in one place and doesn’t clog up my important email inboxes.

Of course, there’s no guarantee your site will be accepted into every directory. So the more you submit, the better.

So on to the list…

I stumbled across this cool tool over at wordze during my web travels today. I’m not sure how new it is but since it only goes back to January 8th I assume it’s relatively new. Either way it’s new to me.

The tool lets you download Google Trends top 100 searches for every hour, of every day from January 8th to current. It seems to be almost real time too. Within an hour or so..
Here is a sample of the top searches from this morning.

There are apparently some hungry, haunted people out there.

There is one problem I have found with it though. They send it to you in an Excel file.
That isn’t a necessarily a problem other than the fact that the database contains 111,000+ search terms, and anyone who uses excel knows that it can only handle 65,000 rows. That issue is overcome easily enough using one of my favorite tools, Microsoft Access.

I just change the file extension from .xls to .txt, import the data and viola, a search-able list of the top 100 searches for every hour, of every day for the last two months! It’s a really neat tool that you can use to find that hot new product to that everyone is searching for.

262 Links to Affiliate Marketing Resources

In my travels through the affiliate making web, I’ve come across a lot of lists. Everyone seems to have a list of their favorite tools. So here is my list. It’s not a list of my favorites, but a compilation of the other lists I’ve found. Some of these tools are free, some are not.

I’ve never used the bulk of these so always do your due diligence when deciding whether or not to pay for a service. Don’t come screaming at me if you sign up for something and are not happy or feel you’ve been scammed. There are no affiliate links here (well just 1) so I gain nothing by posting these.

There are too many sources to list but the major source of this list was the wickedfire forum and some other miscellaneous blogs that I can’t honestly remember.

So click on the read more link to see the whole big long list. Enjoy!
