Carbonite's Online Computer Backup Service
If you are around computers long enough, you will eventually experience a hard drive crash and loose all the web design projects that you worked so hard on. Unfortunately, most people do not backup their data and loose of years work. Earlier this year, I built a computer for the first time and added an extra drive of equivalent size to backup data. While that gives me some peace of mind, there is still possibility of a house fire, tornado, theft, etc. So what else can be done? I reccomend... [More]

Peela Web Hosting Review
With servers based in San Diego California, Peela Networks began operations in 2002. They were my first paid hosting provider and I was pleased with their services. I also do not recall any down time during the year or so that I was with them. While they do not offer phone support, they did answer tickets in a timely manner. They have a starter plan for $4, but you do not get a lot for it; however, for small sites, it would be just fine. For additional information, http://peela.com/... [More]

ImHosted Review
ImHosted was the second Web host that I used over the years. They offered a great price on a reseller plan and I wanted to try my hand at being a hosting provider. After a few months and no customers, I decided it was not the business for me. It took several emails to cancel my monthly payment plan, but was finally able to cancel. For this reason, I decided not to try their standard shared hosting plan. It has been several years, so it may be worth trying. For more information,... [More]

An Hosting Review
After a year with An Hosting, I finally got fed up. I made the decision to move on after waiting 40+ minutes on hold. During that time, the automated message kept saying that my call would be answered in less than two minutes. By the way, I was calling because I could not connect via ftp or even get into the control panel. At least the Web site was available, but I was working on a site and needed to upload some files. My sites were down often and at the most inconvenient times, such as... [More]

Google Adsense and LinkShare Affiliate Ads Review
I recently tried affiliates ads and Google Adsense on http://www.noviceadvice.com; each for two days. The affiliate ads through LinkShare surprising had more clicks than I expected; however yielded zero return. I was a little impatient, so I switched immediately to Google Adsense. Much to my delight, I made a little money both days. It wasn't exactly a scientific study, but I'm sticking with Google Adsense for now.

LinkShare affiliate ads consists of dozens of big name stores, which... [More]

It is $4 per domain and they have a free version which allows for up to 150 directory submission. Give it a try: http://www.resellergo.com. ... [More]

SEO Article Writing Service
Writing and submitting articles to article directories is an intrical part of a complete SEO plan. Articles directories allow you to include a backlink within the article that helps to increase the ranking of your Web site. While it is important, it is also very time consuming to write articles.

I recently came accross a Web site called Text Broker. You deposit money into your account and request an article on the topic category of your choice. Then, one of hundreds of authors on the... [More]
