12 days of Christmas, Pingomatic, Hit Counter, 1st Dimension Ads, IrfanView, Batik

12 Days Of Christmas is now available for the 1st Day. There are 9 different "gifts". I downloaded most everything, but haven't gone through to see exactly what is there. There is a free 1 year silver membership to SureFireWealth.com, which might be good.

Here's a link to notify search engines when your blog has been updated.

Here's a link to add a hit counter to your blog.

Cashouts for 1st Dimension Ads happen tomorrow. Actually, being in all 4 dimension sites isn't so bad now that the initial round is over. Since it takes a week to get paid, you really only need to surf 60 sites a day, not the 80 required in the first round. You also get paid every week, so that's nice.

I have a war file which contains thumbnail images & the fullsize images for 3 different sets of data. Before I added the third data set, the war file was manageable as far as emailing goes. Adding the image files for the third set, makes the war file ~27 mb. The image files are gifs. Anyone have ideas as to how to make the war file smaller? Am I even going about it the right way by storing both thumbnail & fullsize versions? I've tried just storing thumbnails & using scaling when I need a fullsize version, but there's just too much distortion. Just storing fullsize images & scaling to get the thumbnails doesn't work right either. Some of the scaled thumbnails seem like they load too fast & a line ends up being a square. The gif's were created from jpeg's. Anyone know of a converter that has a high level of compression with very little distortion? I currently use Irfan View. The third data set started out as svg, which I converted to jpeg using batik.

CashSurfin', Robin Scorpio, 12 Days of Christmas

Latest update at CashSurfin' says site should be back online by the weekend.


General Hospital FYI: Check out Dr. Robin Scorpio for Robin's daily diary.


Tomorrow is the launch of the 12 days of christmas free online marketing info & tools. I'm looking forward to this. I think my website is pretty good, although I should add articles & I like having a blog. I'm confident of the autosurf sites I'm in, so I just need to start promoting. So far it seems time consuming. There's a ton of information out there. It's just a matter of picking through & finding the good stuff. Hopefully the 12 days of christmas has some good stuff. Don't forget, it's all free, so give it a shot.


Check out this site to keep track of how many clicks your site is getting. Seems like a useful site.

NichebotClassic, WebCeo, SiteAdvisor, Mrsvee, Bob, EzSurf-n-earn

So the CNET classes are going well. Learned of a couple tools to help with finding keywords for your websites. One is at http://www.nichebotclassic.com. Enter keywords & check out the KEI value. The higher, the better. WebCeo, a free tool, also sounds promising. I still have to download it though. For making sure the sites you download from are safe, try McAfee Site Advisor.

You now only have to surf 7 sites to earn at XLO
.
Mrsvee has exposed Bob, the admin of 15HitsDaily, TreoSurf as having gone bankrupt. Not a big deal in general, but shows a person may not be good with money. Probably not a good quality for an admin. Apparently Bob is pretty upset with Mrsvee & has said things a responsible admin should not be saying. I'm not in his sites & don't plan on joining.

EzSurf-N-Earn marks it's 5th month anniversary today. Special anniversary plans are in the works. They are also holding a conference call tomorrow. If anyone is interested in getting in on it, post a comment & I'll send the info.

Anyone catch General Hospital today? Anniversary of Stone's death today. Showed a few flashbacks that were nice to see. Stone is one of my favorite GH characters. His story was a landmark AIDS storyline for soaps.

Spent the day getting php, apache & phpmyadmin working with mysql. Pain in the butt, but finally got it going. Pretty cool stuff, but I'm having a problem importing a csv file into a table. It's a foreign key error and so far I haven't found any information on how to fix it. I found a work around, for the moment.

1st Dimension Ads, Cash Surfin', CNet

Not much new going on in the autosurfing world which is always good.
Payouts for 1st Dimension Ads should occur sometime this week with new upgrades open on Sunday. Signups are still possible for all Dimension Ads sites. See this site for links. These are good sites with honest admin. Don't hesitate to join if you need some extra money.

Maintenance is still occurring at CashSurfin'. Site should be back up soon.

I'm currently taking a couple of online classes through CNet. One is a search engine marketing course. Seems pretty cool. I hope it helps with promoting my sites. The other is a combating spyware & adware course. Pretty scary stuff if you don't have the right tools installed. Stay tuned for links to free security tools to protect your PC.

The General Hospital Luke & Laura specials were great! 4 hours of old shows from the early 80's. Brings back lots of memories. So good to see Ruby, Rose & Joe Kelly, Jesse Brewer, Steve Hardy, the Baldwins, Tiffany, Amy, Rick & Lesley, young Audrey, Bobbie, Noah, Luke, Laura & Robert, Monica, Alan, the old Edward and of course Lila. Always good to see Lila.:)
