Blogging For Money

I didn’t see it coming but when it hit me, I realised that I absolutely love the new redesign of Namcheap.com. In fact, the redesign is quite long overdue….they should have done this way earlier.

Here is the web design of Namecheap, prior to 2011.

This is the new redesign, conforming with current web design standards and Web 2.0 trends.

Despite the release of fresh air, I don’t understand why some people are complaining about it. Its quite beyond my ken to understand why anyone would dislike the new redesign and prefer the old, drab look.

I can hardly believe the news myself when I first knew about it but apparently GoDaddy.com has put themselves up for sale. For those who do not know what GoDaddy.com is, they are a well-known domain registrar and hosting company and aggressively promote their products through television and internet ads, something other domain registrars rarely do. The company is valued at USD $1 billion.

So who would buy GoDaddy.com? My guess is as good as yours, but I would not be surprised if the big G buys it. In fact I cannot imagine any other buyer apart from them would show interest in a domain registrar like GoDaddy.com

Last week, I found out that Google is holding a Google Analytics Master Class on Actionable Insights at the Hilton Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. In plain English, this means that Google is holding a seminar with tips and insights from their speakers on how to better utilise the Google Analytics tool that is provided by Google.

Well, I registered for a RSVP and today, I received this confirmation letter from Google.

This is a funny GoDaddy commercial advertisement in 2007 that was banned apparently. Its hillarious, really.

We all use URL shorteners, including bit.ly and tr.im for when we need a short URL for Twitter. But, we don’t realize how many other options are out there which might be better. Today I found 7Les.com, a URL shortener with a nice calming blue style which is friendly to anyone, URL tracking features and so much more. I thought to myself well why is this not the most used URL shortening service? It should be it has the best stylesheet and the best tracking features. But really who is to believe that I am not just saying this?

I thought I would try tracking a URL, first you have to sign up to the site so that you can track your URL’s wherever you are you can track the clicks on your shortened link. The intelligent design of the site made it so easy for me to find out how to track clicks. Unlike other services if you don’t want the link anymore for any reason there is a simple “delete” button something that you might want to do for any reason. Also it was easy & simple when I was signing up for an account to track my URL’s.

In the past years, many people have seen the steady climb of the Internet as a staple in almost all sectors of the human life. In more ways than people know, there are only few individuals making money from people who visit the Internet regularly. Some of these people don’t even know the basic of how to make websites but they make good money just by buying an existing website and operating it or reselling it to a different person.

If you are jobless or somebody who would want to try other business, you can try buying and selling websites. This can be a lucrative business if you make the following considerations.
