I created an inspirational video (hopefully) this afternoon while I was struggling to enter ads content into Microsoft AdCenter.
The lack of a AdCenter character count has been bugging me, so I created this video on “How To Create and Enter Microsoft AdCenter PPC Ads Content” and I think the idea I came up with is pretty cool!.

The problem is Microsoft AdCenter form has character length restrictions for the Ad Title (25 characters), the Ad Description (70 characters) and the Display URL (35 characters). BUT, they don’t display the character count as you type your information into these 3 fields. What a pain in the A$$.!

So I have a very simple idea on how to overcome this problem, simple ideas are the BEST!

Here is the AdCenter template as mentioned in the video:
Just copy and paste the following 3 lines into a Notepad and it should display correctly once inside Notepad.

1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890

Check out this video and leave me a comment if you think this idea is Neat!

Thanks for watching.

What normally happens when you add a post into a WordPress blog, the post appears at the top of the first page, then moves down the page then off the first page depending on the WordPress settings of how many post are to be displayed on the first page.

What I was looking for was the ability to keep an important post on the first page for a few days and to have some control over it. With the WP_Sticky plug-in, I can control how long the post remains on the first page. Let me explain how this is achieved in this video tutorial.

With the WP_Sticky plug-in, there are three settings, sticky posts, announcements posts, and the normal post setting.

Another of my favorite CPA Networks is Neverblue (click here to find out why).

‘Announcement posts’ are posts which will appear at the top of the page and stay there until the setting on the WP_Sticky plug-in are changed to Sticky or Normal.

Using the ‘Sticky posts’ setting, the post will only stay on top of all the posts for one day only.

Hopefully the following example will demonstrate the different settings:

Announcement
- Post 5 (Announcement Post)

29th Jan 2011
- Post 6
- Post 7
- Post 8

28th Jan 2011
- Post 4 (Sticky Post)
- Post 1
- Post 2
- Post 3

As you can see, Post 4 is set to a ‘sticky post’ and will stay on top of all posts that are posted on 28th Jan 2011 ONLY.

Posts that are posted after 28th Jan 2011 (eg. 29th Jan 2011) will be posted on top of the sticky post that was posted on 28th Jan 2011.

For Post 5, the ‘announcement post’, will stay on top of all posts until this setting is changed to either normal or sticky.

If you think this was worth something to you.

Using VPN or Virtual Private Network, has many important applications. Probably the most important is being able to hide your identity and prevent people from seeing where you are located when browsing the Internet. Often when you are setting up Affiliate Marketing campaigns, or doing research on your competitors Affiliate campaigns, being anonymous is important.

In this video, I describe how to set up your computer with a VPN connection so your computer can appear as though it is located in San Francisco, New York, London or Paris. Once you setup your VPN connection, it is a matter of clicking Connect and your computer is now in one of those remote locations.

The other very important aspect of setting up and using a VPN connection is if you are into Affiliate Marketing and live outside of the USA, for example, it is very hard to setup your USA based offers. When you go to an affiliate site like PeerFly.com, to setup your USA base offers, when you click to view the offer, what will happen is the offer landing page will detect by means of your IP address and Meta Tags, that your are browsing this page from outside of the USA and will prevent you from seeing the landing page. This makes life difficult for seeing what the landing page looks like and make testing your affiliate offers like shooting in the dark.

I live in Australia and I often have my laptop constantly connected to San Francisco for hours without noticing any slow or delays in response times.

Here are three great sites to help drive targeted traffic to your niche website. Here is another video tutorial with some great hints and tips in using some high ranking sites to point more customers your way.

The goal in Internet or Affiliate Marketing is to get as much targeted traffic to your website. Targeted traffic, meaning people who are in the ‘buying mode’ and have their credit card by their keyboard and are looking for the product you are offering on your website. Whether it be a tennis racket, a new handbag, a iPhone 4G, or someone who wants six pack abs, you want targeted customers over customers who are browsers.

In this video, I go through using free high ranking website resources, creating a Squidoo.com Lense, Tweet each post using Tweeter.com and create and load up videos on your YouTube.com Channel to drive targeted Internet traffic to your site.
