For fat burners to work…

We are a family of careful eaters by culture. There is not a single obese person in our family. Of course you always give room for exceptions.

So the exception in our family is a middle aged lady. She is a close relative of my husband. I did not believe my husband when he told me that this fat lady was simply doll like when she was a kid.

What went wrong? At what age? My husband, forever reluctant to talk about the past, refused to answer. He is a wise man and always on the lookout for a remedy, a solution to the present problem.

He knew that his relative tried several fat burners but nothing seemed to work on her. Oh, I know what might have gone wrong then. In her over eagerness to shed her fat quickly, she might not have followed the prescribed dosage.

I happen to gain a lot of insight about fat burners in Fatburnet.net, a web site that reviews fat burners.

Want a review of your blog?

Don't feel shy! Just email me and I will oblige you.

Who doesn't need a little bit of promotion here and there and that too when it is offered free of cost with no conditions attached?

I wish somebody offered me something like that when I started this blog more than a year ago. Yes, that is why I am offering this to you. It is up to you to utilize my offer.

Just send a write up of your blog's theme and purpose and restrict it to less than 100 words but maintain a minimum of 50 words. You can find my email in my profile.

I will publish it after adding a few words and post it too in a couple of social bookmarking sites.

You must agree that it is a generous offer.

You too doctor?

My sister-in-law, a gynecologist rang me up from Virginia where is spending her vacation. She has her own infertility clinic in Madras and her practice is flourishing.

When she called up, she was actually driving and asked me if I can find a natural progesterone supplement in the Internet. She wanted to try it on her patients.

I was taken aback a little. She is always prejudiced against natural supplements. So, I asked her when she started favoring natural supplement.

During her visit, she happened to visit two of her friends’ clinic and saw the progesterone cream but failed to remember the manufacturer.

Since I already know the source for the best progesterone, I emailed her within a minute about Ultrapms.com progesterone cream that relives and prevents symptoms of PMS, Perimenopause, and Menopause.

Lucrative Blogging.

Do you remember my blog post on Bloggertizer, a paid to blog market place? Ell, they paid me $5 for writing about them. Very prompt payment as promised.

I was reading their blog and was impressed with the content and hence I subscribed to its feed.

In today’s feed was a title, “Lucrative Blogging” and that provoked my interest. I clicked on the title and read the article fully. But I didn’t find anything that seemed lucrative to me but I think it is meant for beginners in the blogosphere.

I meant to write here that their blog contains plenty to read and bloggers (yes, beginners) should visit the blog often.

For example, here is blog post on ‘How to start a blog and make money online’.

Well, though I am not a beginner, I still don’t ignore anything with the hope that I can always pickup something valuable from everything.

Blog me the money.

It is obvious that I am not visiting other blogs in my niche. How else could I have missed an useful blog that centers around blogging for money?

Blog me the money made a comment on one of my blog posts and fortunately, the blogger has hyperlinked his name to his blog. Many don't do that you know?

Apart from his own posts. he thought of a brilliant idea to attract visitors to his blog by inviting others in the same niche to submit blogs on making money from the web.

The title 'Weekend quick picks' has attracted several bloggers to submit their blog posts on making money by blogging or by other means. The second edition of week end quick picks has 17 submissions.

Go take a look and share what you like.

Bloggertizer pays $5 immediately.

It is my unscheduled routine (smile) to do some blog hopping leisurely. I also combine it with reading several social media websites. The exercise is always interesting and useful too.

On Sunday, when I was aimlessly spidering, I came upon Bloggertizer, a market place for advertisers and bloggers.

As a blogger who has been working for several internet marketing companies, this site was new to me. I immediately registered and submitted my blog.
How it works:
* You submit your blog with its description
* It is instantly added to the marketplace for advertisers to see.





* There is no for your blog to be approved by Bloggertizer but they leave it to the advertisers choice whether your blog is suitable for them
* If an advertiser chooses your blog, he will use the messaging system provided by bloggertizer and to contact you.
* Your job is to log in every now and then (of course, you can log in once in a month too) and check your 'Inbox" for any messages.
* If there is one, it between you and the advertiser to settle deal.

After completing the formalities, if you make a blog post on Bloggertizer, you will be paid $5.

I did all the above on my part. I just checked my 'Inbox' and it told me that it has hopes to get filled to the brim soon.

Spread the news friend!

Savings account in WaMu.

Even at odd hours, I receive calls in my mobile phone inquiring if I am interested in opening an account in a foreign bank. These unsolicited calls have been increasing day by day.

I feel like activating my voice message in my mobile to say that I have three savings accounts in as many banks and I don’t like to be disturbed anymore.

When my son went abroad, he opened a savings account with Washington Mutual Bank. I told him certain important points that he should follow when operating and maintaining a savings account in a foreign bank.

I advised him to be friendly always with the bank staff even if you rarely meet them in person. At all times, he should maintain the minimum balance stipulated by the bank.

Get your own crawler. Promote your blog.

It is something like this. Your blog is allotted a crawling robo. Where you go in the web, it follows you.

It then remembers your basic interest in the Internet. It then goes on his own for a while, crawls the web and bring you visitors to your blog. Those visitors obviously visited the websites you have also visited.

Isn't that a genius concept in Internet marketing. I salute the man/woman who has conceived the idea. It is truly creative.

Go to Scoutle.com and first read 'how it works in detail'.
To quote them:
"You create a Scout that will walk all over the Internet for you, searching and indexing interesting websites while in the meantime he promotes your own website."

This can be a potential platform for bloggers to promote their blogs. This can evolve in to a great blogging community.

This is very young and it needs a push from us. Will you?

Divers’ delight.

erfdm

By the time my son left for his swimming lesson, he was late by 30 minutes. So he called up his swimming instructor and asked him if it is okay to come late. But his instructor told him it is not alright and asked him to come the next day.

His delay was caused by a web site that refused to open because nearly 25 lakh students tried to access it to see their result.

Well, finally, the web site opened and the results showed that my son got through his final year with 78%. We were all happy and elated. My son jumped with sheer joy that he didn’t notice the new diver’s watch that I bought for him a weeks ago.

Since he saw the iwc watches in a gadgets magazine, he wanted one. He wanted the aquatimer automatic that is specially made for divers because it can withstand extreme pressure conditions under water.

May be I should tell you a little bit about IWC Aquatimer Automatic. When IWC first took the plunge with its diver's watches, only a few pioneers such as Jacques-Yves Cousteau or Hans Hass had discovered the beauty.

IWC watches are made in small quantities only but they are high precision watches.

Tips to increase feed subscriber.

I knew it is a wonderful strategy to show off the number of your feed's subscribers on your blog. Feedburner offers several tools for feed count.

I have participated in a few places that offer the feed subscription exchange facility. In fact, I also have started this topic in a couple of bloggers forum.

It yielded the desired results but somehow I stopped this method of gaining readership. I wanted only genuine readers for my blog.

But that doesn't have to be the preferred way for other bloggers. They can follow any strategy to increase their feed count.

Today I found another novel way while I was reading a blog that was displayed in the Blog Rush widget. The blogger offered an useful e-book for self development if I subscribe to his blog's feed.

Isn't that nice-I mean the e-book and the method?

Do you want to blog better?

It is a taboo to talk about sleeping disorders in my presence. Well, I sort of made it a taboo. I have earned the reputation of the …Oh, let me rephrase it; they say the moment I smell the memory foam mattress, I sleep off as the light goes off immediately when you switch off the light.

It is the comfort of the memory foam mattress that makes me smell sleep the moment I think of the light blue mattress and the multicolor quilt on it. My memory foam mattress is my spiritual relaxation guru, my body revitalizer and my mind strengthener.

Do you know I blog better when I am on my memory foam mattress with the notebook PC on my lap? But I am feeling already slee…..zzzzzzz

Shout your site.

I woke up at last. After procrastinating for several months, I woke up and started submitting my blogs in blog directories.

Also, in the process I have started compiling good blog directories that are bugs free and easy to submit to.

Since April 28th, I am submitting to at least three blog directories on alternate days. I find it interesting and really geared up.

Yesterday, I submitted 6 of my blogs to Shout Your Site. All were approved in less than 24 hours and received emails intimating that they have approved my blogs. Shout your site has Google PR3 at present.

It is free and you can choose up to 3 categories for your blog.

Are parents self-centered?

I buy insurance for myself mainly for the sake of its actual purpose-insurance against unforeseen. But when I buy insurance and gift it to others, I do it as an investment the gift receiver can fall back on.

I mean I don’t foresee anything untoward to happen to others. Isn’t that so when you buy child insurance for your brother’s or sister’s child? You wish that child well and make a small gift that will rise in value when the child begins to blossom into an adult.

To my knowledge child insurance concept is still to create the desired the awareness on parents and adults. Most are still self-centered.

Do directories follow us?

Two days before, I wrote about my bitter experiences while submitting my blogs to blog directories.

I wanted to speak about another important point to consider while submitting to directories. The main purpose of submitting to directories to get some useful backlinks but what if the directories don't pass on link juice by implementing 'No Follow' attribute?

I feel the directories should indicate this on their home page.

Here is a comment my blog received regarding blog directories.
"If you want an up-to-date list of the Top 101 Blog Directories & Submission Sites, I maintain a list on my blog: TrafficNymphomaniac.com ".

I just had a quick glance of the list and it seems I may find something new. Thanks buddy. But you won't be able to know that I appreciate because you won't allow me to comment on your blog post unless I register and login. Oh, what an annoying thing!

Piwik - Open Source Competitor to Google Analytics

Piwik (previously known as "phpmyvisits") aims to be an open source alternative and direct competitor to the famous statistics from Google Analytics. As both programs are free for its members, the main fight for the users will be on the level of the usability, user interface, and set of features available.

Piwik provides detailed reports on the web site visitors, enhanced statistics per pages popularity, overview of search engine keywords, languages used, traffic origins, and much more. If in US it is just starting its way to the consumers, in Japan it is already well-known to the bloggers and website owners.

What makes Piwik different:

* Open APIs

* Plugins Architecture. New features can be added and unneeded stats can be dropped. In its basic format, there are four different categories - dashboard, visitors, actions, and referrers. Each section includes multiple analytical widgets that can be added and removed easily. Outcomes can be presented as bar graphs, pie charts, or plain text.

* Data abstraction layer

* Customizable dashboard.

* Innovative customizable User Interface. You can drag and drop the widgets you want to display and create the reports you want.

Note, that Piwik should be installed on your webserver, while all the data is stored in your own database.

Reduce weight naturally.

I turn a deaf ear whenever I am criticized of being skinny. I know I am not skinny but slender.

I view those criticisms are the cause of envy because they are always the fat people who offer unsolicited suggestions to me to increase my weight. But have I retorted back by saying they better watch out their figure?

A particular fat woman who was my neighbor was the only exception when she seriously listened to my advice and heeded it to regain her pre-marriage figure.

I educated her a bit about how we are exposed to various toxins that slow down the process of metabolism which is the actual cause of accumulation of fat in our body.

I introduced to her Orovo detox, the world’s highly rated diet pill that has more natural ingredients than any other food supplement.

New blog directories.

Well, they are new for me. I found about 6 blog directories that are not in my list of blog directories so I call them new but they must have been online for some time now.

What is the most distressing thing while I submit my blogs to blog directories is the reciprocal link checking. Almost every blog directory has this bug.

See, I don't mind linking back. In fact I want to link to them. But there is a bug that is always there in most of the directories that says, "A link to the directory cannot be found in the URL you have specified" but the link that I placed is very much alive.

Another annoying factor is there won't be any way to let the blog directory owner about the bug because there won't be a 'Contact us' link. They are blissfully unaware of their directory's short comings.

What an inefficiency!

What to do with unwanted text books?

I literally had to throw away more than 70 books the other day when I was cleaning my cupboard. I had to make my office ready for the next academic year starting on 1^st June.

I am generally forced to accept several text books every year by many publishers. This is the woe every academician has to face. Publishers just dump them whether I really need the books or not.

What happens in the melee is my choice books also get lost among the useless pile.

I was told by one of students that I can make money with all the books I have by renting them out online.

Any idea?

Are you a blogger mom?

So, here is one more place for women bloggers who are also moms to interact with each other, share thoughts and socialize.

When I was submitting the blogs in various blog directories, I stumbled onto mommy community. I immediate joined the team of other mommy bloggers and you can see a graphic badge in this blog at the right sidebar.

They provide valuable resources for moms to work and earn from their home. For example, I like their idea of marketing jewelry from home. This can really turn out to be a substantial money earners for all moms.

There is much for me there and I can't write about everything here. One visit to them will make you see the potential of participating in their Link Love.

BlogIt - New Facebook Application for Bloggers

Six Apart, makers of Movable Type, Typepad and other popular blogging services, has launched a new Facebook application designed to broadcast your posts to several of the most popular external publishing systems at once.

Blog It allows you to compose and post updates within the Facebook interface and have them simultaneously appear on any one of the ten supported services, including Movable Type, TypePad, Pownce, Twitter, Blogger and WordPress.

The idea behind Blog It is to simplify the process of updating all the various sites and services you use, offering a single interface for updating all your sites. It’s a bit like turning Facebook into a fire hose that sprays your thoughts across the web.

FriendFeed is also toying with similar, though much more limited cross-posting features, like the ability to send comments to Twitter. Blog It, however, offers far more complete updating capabilities.

Which isn’t to say that Blog It is feature complete just yet. For now, you’ll miss niceties like a rich text editor or the ability to upload and include pictures in your posts. In the video below, Six Apart’s David Recordon makes it clear that the company is aware of the application's short-comings and promises feature upgrades in the near future.

But while Blog It may be a work in progress, even in limited form, it’s the easiest way I’ve seen to broadcast posts across platforms. It offers the ability to pick and choose which posts go where on a per-post basis so you’re always in control of who sees what. Every time you add a new service to update, Blog It offers the option to automatically post to that service, though you can always uncheck any of the services when you actually post something.

Blog It is a pretty slick Facebook app, perhaps the best I’ve used. And while it still lacks a few features (OAuth support is reportedly in the works, but for now you’ll have to give Blog It all of your passwords) it definitely makes it easier to broadcast your life to multiple locations. It's a nice cure for the fatigue of having to keep up with all of your data streams by logging into each service separately.

Recordan has hinted elsewhere that Six Apart may expand Blog It to work from other platforms — like Plaxo’s Pulse, or perhaps even as standalone AIR application like Twhirl — but for now Blog It is tied to Facebook.

To get an idea of what Blog It looks like in action, check out the video below where Recordon walks you through the process of setting up and using Blog It (and also offers the best OAuth metaphor I’ve heard: “it’s like a valet key for the web”). If you’d like to jump in with both feet, you can go ahead and add Blog It to your Facebook account.

I met a coins expert.

An email contact turned up at my house a few days before. The person is from Hong Kong but basically he is from India.

It is very pleasing to meet face to face a person who I know thus far only digitally. He did not have any business purpose to come to my home town; it was only a visit to just meet me. How kind of him to have come all the way from Hong Kong!

While we were discussing myriad things, he informed that he is an expert in evaluating old silver and bronze coins and it is just a hobby for him.

Though I could not utilize his expertise as I don’t have anything ancient to get evaluated I did show him some of the silver ingots and gold coins that I purchased from Monex, America’s silver and precious metals investment leader of repute.

Of course I knew their value fully; I showed them to him just to satisfy his vanity. He was impressed by the quality of the silver ingot and gold coins. Then I told him that Monex Precious Metals is home to a large and dedicated staff of hard asset professionals committed to serving your precious metals investment needs.

Guaranteed lowest priced computer parts.

Studying during this hot summer is the biggest punishment one can experience. Indian education system is still following the age old establishment set up by the English rulers.

All the exams are conducted when temperature hovers above 40 degree C. Gritting our teeth and cursing the bureaucracy, we silently endure and go through the process.

In the middle of compiling my papers online, my PC got stuck up and I noticed that more than 32 processes were going on and the CPU sagged under the weight.

The only solution is to enhance my computer memory or buy a new computer with at least 1GB RAM.

I wish some hardware engineer come up a computer memory that can temporarily run on human memory at times of these breakdowns. (Smile)

Introducing linkworth jobs.

I received a blogging assignment from Link Worth today. This is my second assignment.

After reporting my completed work, I was just browsing their web site when I noticed their blog post about LinkWorth jobs.

Till now, bloggers will be notified by email by LinkWorth if they are given a blogging assignment. Their process is a bit long like many such players in the same field. Their advertisers will browse through the database of registered and approved blogs, select a blog that match their industry, consider that blogs traffic and PR parameters and then award the work.

With the introduction of LinkWorth jobs, a market place is created where advertisers and bloggers can choose each others' services more transparently.

As a publisher, we can view the available jobs by just logging in to our control center.

I am waiting eagerly for the launch.

Engraved gold anklets.

It is our custom to present the first time lady visitors to our house with a sari. This tradition is being followed by all the Indian families that can afford it.

And none will refuse the gift; their pride will not come in the way. It is considered rude to refuse to accept the sari.

Yesterday, I had the shock of my life when my gift was refused however politely. The guest apologetically asked if she can get another dress that is not a sari; she wanted something short.

Noticing my odd look, she shyly showed her legs that are adorned by a pair of beautiful new gold anklets. So, that’s it! She did not prefer a sari because that will conceal the gold anklet.

I thought gold is not worn on legs!

Triggit gives assistance to blog and site owners

Get paid to post.

I was enthusiastically browsing a forum for bloggers a few minutes ago when I learnt about a new get paid to post website. It offers bloggers an opportunity to earn a few extra dollars a month by taking up various assignments.

The assignments include a post in your blog or a post in forum. There is no need to submit your blog and wait anxiously for it to get approved.

Advertisers also stand to get benefited by participating in this program to spread the word about their products or services.

I read that there is a lot of buzz about this website in the Internet. Another forum post I read somewhere says that the response among the advertisers is tremendous.

I wish the advertisers get an increase in their sales.

Want to earn by blogging?

Three days before, I found another paid to blog opportunity accidentally. I think I read a banner on a blog that I don't remember.

Bloggers Review is a new kid on the field of hiring bloggers and matching their services with the advertisers who are looking for exposure of their website through blogs.

I registered, submitted one of my blogs and they approved it in a day.

Yesterday I logged in and was shocked to find that my login details are wrong. The next page after that also showed another facility to key in the login info. I obliged and it also accepted me in.
A bug that is not yet detected.

I see there are two opportunities but for both of them, it says my blog is not eligible.Hmmm..., ok, let me take it in my stride.

In the members area, there is a tab 'My Blogs' which when clicked won't show my approved blogs. I again had to click on 'Edit blog' to see my approved blog. A clear confusion in the navigation.

They have a page dedicated to tips on avoiding a drop in page rank. I am sorry I found nothing useful there.
