Google Devalues Paid Links
After reading about the paid links issue in Matt Cutts blog and Digitalpoint Forum. It seems that paid links will no longer useful for Google SEO in the future as Google is going to change their ranking algorithm to make sure that paid backlinks will have not effect to Google ranking. Google now tries to figure out how to separate paid links from natural links and they also allow anyone to report paid links to help them distinguish paid links and natural links.
Furthermore, Google will take action against on websites that contains a lot of paid links. And for websites and bloggers that sell text links, here's what Matt Cutts, Head of Google's webspam team advices:
http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/hidden-links
" If you want to sell a link, you should at least provide machine-readable disclosure for paid links by making your link in a way that doesn’t affect search engines. There’s a ton of ways to do that. For example, you could make a paid link go through a redirect where the redirect url is robot’ed out using robots.txt. You could also use the rel=nofollow attribute."
Google will make SEO harder. If you frequently buy paid links to boost your Google ranking and PR, I think you should stop now to avoid your site or blog penalized by Google.
Payments to webmasters and bloggers for a text link appears on their sites and blogs are definitely considered as paid links. For paid directory listings, there are still no clear specifications whether they are seen as paid links. In my opinion, they will not be considered as paid links since Google and Yahoo also have their own directories accepting paid listings. Can we report them paid links? For blog sponsor posts from reviewme.com and Payperpost.com, they are likely to be treated as paid links as well since one of the goals of Google is to stop people from using unnatural backlinks that can artificially boost up their websites ranking. The devaluation of paid links by Google will sure affect the ways webmasters make money online in the future.
To get traffic from Google and make money from your website and blog, I think the best ways now is to make sure the majority of your links are natural, continue to grow natural and relevant inbound links and update your website or blog often with unique and useful content.

Google SEO Tips: Content Updating is Getting More Important
Google's ranking algorithm has never been consistent, recently, I discover that the frequency of content updating on blog and website is getting more useful in increasing Google ranking as it uses to be. I think it started about a month ago.
The search term "make money online" is a good example to strengthen my point. If you often use this search term, you'll notice the websites listed in top 10 result fluctuate from time to time. The frequent fluctuations have lead to websites with decent number of backlinks that have stayed in first page for long period of time gradually one by one drop from top 5 to top 10 and from top 10 to top 20; and allowing more blog with frequent content update to get into top 10 listing. I have been in the niche of "make money online" for more than a year and never see it happens this way. It is obvious that Google has changed their ranking algorithm again and place more weight on content.
So if your website have experienced a drop in Google and you think that you have not done anything wrong. The frequency of content updating may be one of the main reasons. You may take a look at your competitors website to see whether they have started adding fresh content often. If yes, you may think about updating your site in on going basis as well. It will give you a better chance in re-gaining your Google ranking.

The blogger only makes money when the visitor takes an action on the CPA advertiser website. The action can be a sign up, making a purchase, generating a lead, downloading a product and more. CPA networks pay a lot more than CPC programs, for a visitor sent by the blogger from his/her blog to a CPA advertiser website and the visitor taken an action on the advertiser site, the blogger can earn few dollar to fifty dollar depend on the niche.

3 Interesting Ideas to Make Money on ebay
1) Sell Used Cell Phones on ebay
The demands for used cell phones with brand names like Nokia, Motorola, Kyocera, Alltel, Ericsson, Sprint, etc in ebay are pretty high. Many of the used cell phones auctions in ebay usually attract bids.
So how to find used cell phones to profit on ebay?
Many people change their cell phones every year. If you are one of them, probably you already have 2 or 3 used cell phones kept at home that can sell on ebay. Your friends may also keep a few of old phones left unused. You can buy from them and resell on ebay.
To get a consistent supply of cell phones, you may think about placing classified ads in newspaper states that you pay money for used cell phone. You shouldn't pay much when buying used cell phones. Do a little research on ebay to find out how much used cell phones are generally selling. If a used cell phone sell at a price of $50 in ebay, you should pay not more than 30% of the price to buy it. If the phone is a recent model you can pay little more and cut a little if it is old and nothing special.
2) Sell Used How-to Books
Used how-to books are quite easy to find and inexpensive to buy. They can be bought at $1.00 or less. You can buy how-to books from thrift shops, estate sales, used book stores, yard sales, etc and sell them in ebay for high profit margin. You can also get how-to books from Book Sale Finder. Here are the type of books you should look for:
Hobbies
Photography, blacksmithing, clock building & repair, woodworking, magic, treasure hunting, iron work, pipe smoking, dog training, antiques, coins, buttons, medals, drawing, painting, craft making, dolls, pottery, etc.
Home and Garden
Home decorating, home remodelling, garden trellis, etc.
Misc
How to repair (watch repair, door repair, pipe repair), how to play, lost treasure, eary aviation, etc.
When you list your books in ebay, you can either list them in the "Book" category of ebay or in the subject specific category of ebay. For instance, If you are selling a book related to home decorating, you may be making more profit if you list the book under the "Home Deco" within the "Home & Garden" category of ebay campare to listing the book under "Book"
3) Sell Gift Cards
Gift card is another profitable market in ebay. There are many people possess gift cards but not everyone of them will use their gift cards. If you can offer to buy these unused gift cards for a price at 20% or less of the value of the gift certificates, they will sell to you. You can advertise your offer in local newspaper, penny shop and trading post. You are looking for gift cards that are still valid (not yet expire). Most gift cards have a toll-free number on the back you can dial to check whether the cards are still valid.
When determining the buy and sell price of a gift card, you should do some research on ebay. Try to look for auction that sell the similar card. See how much the card sells in the auction and set you buying price at 40% to 50% of the selling price of the auction. The starting bid and winning bid of the auction can also give you an idea on how much your card can sell on ebay.

How to Make Money Online by Coaching Others
A coach is a person who has know-how knowledge or special skill in a particular field and sharing it other people what want to achieve success in that particular field as well. Coaches can be an expert at anything from writing to marketing to business itself.
Many people have good knowledge at something or experience in a particular field. If you are one of them who are expert at an area, you can become a coach and earn money sharing your knowledge. On the Internet, there are a lot of coaches who help others in web design, graphic design, Internet marketer, SEO and many more.
There are a few important things you must have to become a coach and make money online. Firstly, you must have the ability to be a good listener. And patience is also needed when guiding your clients. Those people that hire you to become their coach would expect you to listen to their bad experiences and help guide them out of the muck they find themselves in no matter how strange they may sound.
To establish good reputation and credibility in the coaching business, you should know your field well. If you haven't done Internet marketing before, then being an Internet marketing coach isn't a good idea, because you don't possess real experience in this field and your students will find out that quickly.
The tools required for starting a coaching business are a computer, an email program, a website that sells your service, a shopping cart for receiving payment and telephone line dedicated for this business. There will be a lot of conversations occurring between you and your students. Both the email program and the phone line are set up for this purpose.
To start your coaching business, you need to first write a plan. Decide what coaching service you want to offer. Obviously, you will want to become a coach in the field that you have excellent knowledge in.
Then, set up a sale website to market your service. Describe exactly what service you are providing. Publish some good articles and content related to your field. This can help build credibility and expert status for your business.
Your website should also tell how much you will be charging. If possible include some positive testimonials from others who have tried your services to increase your chance of getting clients. Make your site look professional and clean; and also the navigation links of your site should be as simple as possible.
Once your sale website launched, you are ready to do business. You will want as many potential clients as possible come to your website and check out your offer so that you can make sales. Starting several Internet marketing campaigns such as pay-per-click advertising, article marketing and press release are some good ideas to market your service to your potential clients.
Not every potential client who comes to your site will participate in your coaching program. In fact, you may find that the majority of your potential clients don’t sign up your coaching program on the first visit on your site. Since they are your potential clients, you should find a way to collect their contact information before they leave your site so that you can later persuade them to sign up your program.
Perhaps offering your potential clients a free mini course on your website is a good way to collect their email contact information. Those who find you mini course good may go ahead and sign up your coaching program. Others whom take no action after the finish of the mini course may one day become your clients because you have got the email address where you can communicate with them often to build up good relationship and entice them to join your coaching program.

“Fine. My name is Con Jonner and I come from the future.”
“And it’s a dark future.”
“The darkest. In an attempt to bring order to the world, the government funded a company to make little robots that would clean. On August 4th, 1997, one of them became aware.”
“And so they send you back to meet me.”
“But first they gave me this two pack of Go Dusters. They’re motorized, you see, but non-sentient. They only operate under my control. That makes me… a cyborg.”
“Uh-huh.”
“I’m a freak, you see. A tortured, misunderstood freak. And yet, I can also work on vertical blinds, electronics and furniture. Also there’s multi-surface spray included.”
“I thought all guys have that.”
“But mine traps dust on the duster head. And that’s how I fight SkyOomba, trying to prevent it from coming to life.”
“You know this is August 26th, 2008, right?”
“No! NO! Curse them, I’m too late! There’s nothing I can do but try to create the warrior that will, through struggle, overcome SkyOomba and redeem our future! Hurry! I know a cheap motel where we can get started tonight!”
“I’m going home, Con.”
“But, but the future! Let me embrace you with my Go Duster Two pack arms!”
“Get those things away from me! Taxi!”

Olevia 65” 1080p LCD HDTV
Local to Woot’s Dallas HQ and bummed about sales tax? If you have access to a truck, a friend, and $2273.24 including the mandatory sales tax, you may Consider this Option to come pick it up yourself. Free workout included.
Remember when you were a kid, and you thought everybody you saw on TV actually lived inside it? Well, the Olevia 265TFHD is one TV that’s up to the job. Laid diagonally from one corner to another, any number of stars could fit, life-size, on its mega-humongoid 65” screen. Scarlett Johansson would have plenty of room. So would Mel Brooks or Renee Zellweger or any one of the Three Stooges. From Danny De Vito to Prince, from James Madison to Dolly Parton, today’s best and shortest entertainers could take a reasonably comfortable nap right there on the high-quality Sharp LCD panel.
Don’t let them, though. Not even Scarlett Johansson. Because the TV would break. And you wouldn’t be able to enjoy your favorite movies, TV shows, and video games in hi-def hyper-enormo-vision. Our purchasing guys thought they knew what a big TV was. But when they saw this Olevia 65-incher, the second thing they did was say “We’ll take it.” The first thing they did was scrape their jaws off the floor and put their eyeballs back in their sockets.
50" and 65" don’t seem that far apart, do they? Yet the magic of geometry shows that a 65” TV has 69% more viewing area than a 50” TV. That’s two-thirds bigger – like turning the Three Stooges into the Five Stooges, or 101 Dalmatians into 170 Dalmatians. And if your idea of a big TV is a 42” screen, this Olevia brings a whopping 139% more viewing area. Still not convinced? Go to Display Wars and see how this behemoth stacks up against your TV.
As awe-inspiringly massive as it is, there’s a lot more to the Olevia 265TFHD than sheer size. There’s the cinema-grade Realta HQV video processor, which wouldn’t normally be caught dead on a low-rent web site like this. There’s the aforementioned Sharp LCD panel, from the geniuses who brought you the Aquos line of LCDs. (What better screen to watch your HD TiVo on?) There’s the 1080p resolution and the 6ms response time and the colors and the luxuriant piano-lacquer finish and the on-screen menus and the one-year in-house Olevia warranty and, and, and…
Sorry. We get a little carried away sometimes.
And so did Syntax Brillian. They valiantly dared to challenge the holy price-quality-speed triangle. Unfortunately, their low-price-for-high quality equation had them speeding towards Chapter 11. Of course, we pounced on the opportunity to get our greedy mitts on these TVs. Syntax promises their on-site warranty coverage will remain in full effect. And if you’d like a little more security, we’ve worked out pre-authorized coverage through SquareTrade, our preferred third-party warranty provider. (See our blog post on SquareTrade for more.) That means we think their three-year coverage price is fair. Also, they always have such nice breath. They must carry Altoids around or something.
We understand a purchase like this is a big decision. So think it over. Ask yourself whether you’re ready for the responsibilities of monstrous TV ownership. Measure your living room to make sure a 65” TV will fit. Examine your feelings to make sure you can live with its shortcomings, like offering only 2 HDMI inputs and…uh…well, we’re sure it must have other shortcomings, even if we can’t find them.
Then, once you’ve made the only decision a rational being could possibly make, run like hell for that “I Want One!” button. We don’t often see TVs like this around here. And we don’t expect them to stick around long. There’s nothing wrong with that Warwick Davis or Verne Troyer-sized TV you’ve been watching. But you don’t want to miss your shot at Marilyn Monroe.
Note: This item will be shipped by truck and delivery will take 7-14 days. When you place your order, you MUST enter your daytime phone number so the trucking company can schedule delivery.

N-Vision Optics NVC3 Night Vision Monocular
The mission’s been compromised. The rest of the team has been lost. It’s up to me, operative Devilwolf-11, to neutralize the target and destroy the enemy munitions store. I commando-crawl through the brush. I initiate the N-Vision Optics NVC3 Night Vision Monocular. Perimeter scan reveals no presence of enemy guards. I remain under cover of shadow and advance toward -
“Josh? Josh! Is that you crawling around in the bushes? What are you doing out there in the dark?”
“Mom, I’m busy! I’m – I’m doing something! What do you want?”
“Are you gonna drive me to the Walgreen? I need to get my blood-pressure socks.”
“Yeah, yeah! I’ll be in in a minute.”
“Josh, they close at ten, Josh.”
“It’s only eight-thirty, Mom! Gimme a minute!”
Intelligence indicates enemy ordnance is stored in the garage. Odor of cordite corroborates intelligence. Small window offers view into garage. N-Vision Optics NVC3 unit engaged. Despite slight blur around edges, Generation 1 light-intensifier tube reveals presence of what appears to be a concealed intercontinental ballistic missile, disguised as a lawnmower. I push on the window to gain access -
“Josh! Your father needs help putting on his ointment! Josh?”
“I’ll be right in, Ma!”
“You know he can’t reach -”
“I said I’ll be right in!”
Enemy guard notices me, pursues. Enemy guard neutralized before alarm raised. I return my titanium-fiber garrote to my utility compartment. The NVC3’s high-pitched whine must have compromised my position. Perimeter scan indicates no further -
“Josh! Josh, where are you? Josh?”
“Jeez, Mom, shut off that floodlight! I’m right here! Bright light can break my N-Vision Optics NVC3 Night Vision Monocular!”
“Your what? What are you doing? When are you going to come in? Your father’s itchy real bad. And I need my socks.”
“Right now, Mom.” (sigh) “Right now.”
N-Vision Optics NVC3 Night Vision Monocular destroyed. Munitions dump intact. Mission failed. Entire Free World in peril.
Warranty: 1 Year N-Vision
Features:
* Night vision monocular with first generation intensifier tube allows you to up to 650 feet in the dark

* 2x magnification with 22° field of view

Soundcast Audiocast Wireless Audio System
It’s come to our attention that, due to the similarities in their brand names, some people out there may mix up the Soundcast system with Sunkist orange soda. Of course, the voice that told us this was the little one in our heads that we turn to when we’re desperate for a copywriting idea. But just in case this confusion exists outside our addled minds, we’ve compiled this helpful, space-filling guide to telling the two apart.
Soundcast Wireless Audio System: transmits audio from your MP3 player, computer, portable CD player, etc. to your stereo system
Sunkist orange soda: if you shake it up, it makes a sound like FSSSSSHHHHHH

Sunkist orange soda: uses caffeine and sugar to transmit a clean, uninterrupted buzz
Soundcast Wireless Audio System: delivers high-quality audio transmission at an indoor range of up to 150 feet
Sunkist orange soda: delivers high-fructose corn syrup in amounts up to 52 grams
Soundcast Wireless Audio System: includes transmitter, receiver, and all connecting cables
Sunkist orange soda: includes soda and can
Soundcast Wireless Audio System: contains no orange juice
Sunkist orange soda: contains no orange juice

You can use two receivers with each Soundcast transmitter so that you can create two separate music zones in your home.
You can connect two Audiocast transmitters to the same music source – then you can make a four zone system.

Uses 2.4 GHz wireless FHSS technology to send a clear uninterrupted audio signal to the receiver, allowing your music to be accessible from almost anywhere

Winners' Gallery: the Best of Contest 186
This week our talented Photochoppers were to lead us on a magical tour through a Las Vegas festooned with Woot.com!'s dark and disturbing influences by Showing us your ideas for a Woot Casino. Although Las Wootvas is all about winning and losing, at times we find ourselves at an impasse- on the horns of a dilemma, facing a Hobson's choice, with the only side being the downside if we selected one chop over another of equally high quality. So, we bailed. We asked Jason if we could award a tie for first place, and without even checking with Dave, as far as we know, he agreed! Accordingly, because the two chops we felt to be the best really had little to separate them, we awarded first place to both.
First Place - $100 (tie)
mwiseman - TooNeon
Not just a casino, but a casino resort! Now maybe we can all see those winning signs they said they were going to put up after that sign contest.
also see:
mwiseman's wonderful Robotic Stage Mistakes Show, complete with giant raptor mauling.
First Place - $100 (tie)
rascal514 - Woot Casino
Really, can't you see this casino in your mind's eye, right in there among the other great casinos of Las Vegas- The giant Best Buy BentoBox casino, the Sam's Gentlemen's Club (members only, of course), the Yahoo! Sellout Dollar Slots, and, of course, eBet, where everyone stays in their hotel rooms and submits bets over the wireless internet.
Second Place - $50
plinth - Woot!netian Drink Menu
Plinth fortunately gave us a glimpse into the upscale Vegas that he finds each time the Plinth.com convention rolls into town.
Third Place - $20
CabooseGT - One Game, One Day
This, this is how the woot casino plans to become a tax loss for the Woot investors' financial needs. One slot, each day. Click the pic for a bigger jackpot.
Honorable Mentions
FedUpOldHag - Woot Buffet
Boy, what a crappy selection in this buffet- there isn't even any ThunderPanda in Peanut Sauce.
cicada - Potty Slots
Uh, excuse us for a moment...
ActorTom - Payouts Quarterly
As if. Vegas, where naive dreams are shattered by the cold reality of lazy copywriters/contest supervisors.
toby8915 - Now There's a Dealer!
I hope we all appreciate what a brave woman Shan was to allow this one to be redisplayed!
faithcoaching - I wonder if this chair will hold up?
Speaking of a festive Brave Woman...
Monkey Prize
rascal514 - Welcome to Woot! Vegas
Yep, from the sublime to the ridiculous, rascal514 started out flush on his trip to Vegas, only to end up here, in the gutter, wet, dank, without that $100 we just gave him (lost it to the Woot! slot machine) and corrupted by the stain of failure slowly spreading from that matted, piebald monkey, his only remaining companion.
Money winners, please email your Paypal info to jtoon@woot.com. Monkey Prize winner, please email your shipping address to jtoon@woot.com. Honorable Mentioneers may use coupon code HONMEN-FS for free shipping on a future order. Then, when the code doesn't work, you can try emailing service@woot.com and if you're pleasant about it, they'll usually credit you for the code. Until next time, remember, whatever you won in Vegas, stays in Carrollton, until the next corporate quarter rolls around, at least.
