WEB SITES I VISIT DAILYI know, I'm an Internet
geek. Well, maybe not an Internet geek per se, but more of a
pseudo-Internet geek. I didn't get interested in computers until my
senior year of high school (1998 - when I was lucky if I could find the
power switch and get into Microsoft Write), and it has been one big game of
trying to catch up and keep up ever since. So I'm not an Internet geek
exactly, but I spend a good portion of my life on a computer, and if that
computer happens to not be connected to the Internet, I get quite
frustrated, because it means I can't visit any of the sites listed below,
which I visit almost daily. (Okay, okay, so I'm an Internet geek.)
www.google.com
The best search engine ever!
www.google.com/adsense
Make money using your web site
www.hotmail.com
Still the best email provider for free email...but be forewarned, they do
sell addresses to advertisers, so you can sometimes get an email box which
ends up flooded with junk mail.
www.sitemeter.com
Get a counter for your web site and know who is visiting your pages, how
they get there, and how long they're staying. I check mine daily,
probably just because I'm kinda' neurotic like that. Hey, there's
nothing wrong with getting excited when half of your traffic for the day
comes from Singapore!
www.paypal.com
If you haven't started using Paypal yet, you're missing out! It's the
online service that lets you send money AND RECEIVE MONEY! You can
transfer money to and from any person with an email address, and the money
will deposit into your bank account once you get it set up. It's a
great service. I've had my account for over 2 years!
Find great deals on books at Half.com.
And not just books!!!
This is another site that if you haven't started using, you're missing
out. Half.com lets you buy and sell anything that other people are
selling. It's like the world's largest garage sale, and it's awesome!
You can get a lot more for textbooks here than by selling them back to the
store, that's for sure.
www.cj.com
One of the places I use for my online affiliate programs. This site is
probably the best collection of online pay-per-performance advertisers I
know of. CJ also offers incredible tools for tracking the traffic you
have sent to the advertisers.
http://associates.amazon.com
The famous Amazon.com referral program...you set up some links on your site
which link to Amazon.com products and make 5%-12% of the purchase price of
that product.
www.powweb.com
My web host often has news and announcements, so I go to their forum to find
out more. By the way, if you want a great web host, you should check
out powweb. I've been with them for many years, and in that time, have had
3-4 minor problems which have been resolved within 24 hours. Tell them
that strive4impact.com sent you.
