    Free Autobot

    Well, all of the reviews point to aweber being a great autoresponder, but it's not free. By the way, now that I got the cron job working, infinite autoresponder seems to be working just fine.

    Free Autobot

    Thanks for the response. I actually gave up on that program rather quickly. There was just too much extraneous advertising in the emails it sent out. Although I might end up going with AWeber or GetResponse, for now I'm playing with a PHP script called Infinite Responder. (No, I have no...

    Free Autobot

    Hi, folks. I'm prepping for an opt-in email campaign and have been looking at autoresponders. Since I'm working on a shoestring here, I searched for free alternatives and ran across Free Autobot. It seems to have all of the requisite features. Does anybody here have experience with this program...

    Google keyword tool for adwords

    Is anyone else having problems with the new tool? I went out there today and every time I try to use it, it only works for a minute or so before forwarding me to the adwords login page.

    Tracking image

    I'm guessing that the little 1 x 1 image that affiliate merchants provide is used for tracking impressions. (If I'm wrong, please enlighten me.) I'm wondering how I should handle this image on a page where I'm deep-linking to half a dozen or so related products. Each generated link includes...

    Link cloaking- How do I avoid a .php or .html extension?

    I actually read a report that concluded subfolders helped in SE ranking as much as or more than domain names. Thus, www.site.com/foobar/3 should be just about as good as www.foobar.com. (Don't know the author's methodology, sampling size, etc., so don't take this as gold.)

    To Cloak or Not To Cloak

    I've seen numerous experienced IM folk say that link cloaking is imperative. I can set up cloaking with no problem, but I'm a little nervous about doing so. In the Webmaster Guidelines, Google is pretty emphatic about not using cloaking and redirects. I'd hate to have a site start making a...

    Thanks. I joined OfferVault and I think it will be helpful.

    Passion v Product

    I've been looking at some of the smaller affiliate networks, but lots of them don't show a list of their advertisers. How can I know whether network X has any advertisers that would match up with my subject of interest? Is there a way to research this before signing up? Thanks.

    Advice for Newbies Trying To Get Into A Network

    Please, please, name a few. I've been searching alternatives to CJ and PJ, but hesitate to sign up because there's no indication of how newbie-friendly they are. (Other reasons in a separate post.)

    Different search volumes

    Hi, Linda. Thanks. Your explanation was quite lucid and helpful. For one thing, it helped me realize that I'm trying to establish a threshold for working on a micro niche. (If someone wants to throw me a number, great, but I don't expect that.) Let's say I set a threshold at 30 searches per...

    Different search volumes

    I'm trying to do some niche research, but I'm confused. Google says the search volumes may vary slightly between their Adwords and Search-Based Keyword tools, but I'm finding more than a little variation. "Black Dog Cafe," to use an innocuous example, shows 1300 monthly (exact match) in the...

    IE8 faster than Firefox and Chrome?

    I'll put in my two cents worth here, even though it's an older thread. I've been one of those who have always been anti-Microsoft. In fact, when the first reviews of Vista started coming out, I switched from XP to Ubuntu Linux(actually, I dual boot with XP for gaming), and haven't looked back...

    Password security

    I saw a post in Webmasters Universe about the importance of using strong passwords. I agree wholeheartedly. I don't have permission to post there, so I thought I'd share how I make strong passwords that I can remember here. Simply put, use a mnemonic. 1) Pick a phrase (a lyric or a favorite...
