RankSense SEO Software Review
This is not a sponsored review requested by the software owner. The reason why I’m putting up this review is because it entitles me to a lucky draw that gives out $14,404 worth of prizes. Gyutae Park from WinningTheWeb and Hamlet Batista from RankSense have launched another insane contest in conjunction with the new release of SEO software – RankSense 2.0. Anyone is eligible to enter the random draw and win big prizes like PlayStation 3, Apple MacBook Air, Apple iPod Touch etc. as long as you complete the tasks given. And, the craziest prize of all is the Grand Prize that flies you and your partner to Casa de Campo, La Romana in Dominican Republic for 7 days with all expenses paid, that alone is worth $10,000.
To find out more about the contest, visit here, but you’ve gotta hurry up, cause all entries must be received before the random draw on November 3rd, 2008. Especially those who missed the last crazy contest held by Gyutae Park and Tyler Cruz, you shouldn’t give up such opportunity again to win yourself a dream machine like Apple MacBook Air this time.
17 Best Sites to Get FREE Images For Your Blog
Using images in blog posts not only complements your content, it also makes your readers stay longer on your blog. An image speaks for itself so your readers will be more inclined to read the posts. Even if an image isn’t going to complement your text, it will still pretty much enhance the visual appeal of your blog significantly.
Where to get FREE images for your blog? Finding quality images for your posts is already a challenge in itself. Imagine how frustrating it can become when you can’t find ones that you can use without having to pay for royalties or subscriptions. Therefore, to make your life easier, I’ve compiled a list of my favorites that I normally use whenever I need a free royalty-free image. These are the sites from where you can get any high-quality images of your choice at no cost – 100% FREE. However, remember to always check the licensing terms of any image you plan to use, crop, edit and photoshop. And, always credit the image owner. Here you go,
Tyler Cruz vs Gyutae Park
Finally another blogger-vs-blogger contest going on two months after the Shoemoney vs JohnChow competition (if you could recall). This time it is between two young Internet entrepreneurs Tyler Cruz of TylerCruz.com and Gyutae Park of WinningTheWeb.com who come head to head to see who gets the most votes from the readers. The loser will pay 3 lucky voters who voted for the winner $100 each (that’s $300 of cold hard cash in total).
Another Google PR update
Looks like Google is giving an early toolbar PageRank update of the year 2008. In fact, I noticed the data center was reset to zero while I was doing a random check yesterday. I thought it was a system glitch or something, so I didn’t pay much attention to it until I realised today that one of my blogs read a PR of 5 (from PR4) on the Google PageRank extension in my Firefox. I’m not sure if the toolbar PageRank update is confirmed, but there are certainly several reports across webmaster forums about the update.
I then did a PR check on all my blogs, and very much to my surprise that WiseBlogging was also updated to PR4 from PR3, although not much of linking work was done. Whereas, the other two blogs of mine remained at PR4. In conclusion, I’m now having a blog with a more respectable PR5 and 3 blogs with PR4, not a bad start for the year 2008. This early PR update allows me to reorganise my editorial calendar and restrategize to maximize the earning of my blogs.
