Surfing the net really irritates me because I am still getting those "made for Agloco" websites that do not do anything but promote sign ups. What a total waste of revenue space.

At least, I have to be thankful that they hype has slowed down and you don't have people pushing it down my throat.

Here's a much needed lesson on Marketing 101. Never promote a product that doesn't have existing shelf life or is currently not "available" in the market. There are so many variables that can make this a very bad investment of time. Amongst the factors you need to consider is - will you get paid on time, does their enrollment tracking work 100%, will this be a waste of your time?

This is why you need to work with a company that has a proven track record, and if the past history of Agloco is to be taken into consideration, they stiffed a lot of people on commissions before they closed up shop. You need to realize that your time equals $$ in the bank. Most affiliate companies do not survive the test of time because they weren't equipped to handle the demands such as getting paid on time.

Look for services that could provide you with a better return based on what you can do today. There are awesome affiliate advertising and datafeed marketing you can make some serious cash on. And I don't mean Google or Amazon either....

The few weeks Agloco said (In December) that they will have the toolbar available to the masses has now been pushed out to March. So this comes down to the concept of which came first. The chicken or the egg. Agloco is busy hussling for business from advertisers based on the amount of publishers that have signed up.

But the code will work on Blogger (as long a it's not on a post), and will autostart at load. If you do not want it to autostart, you can chose "false" instead of "true" on the autoplay attribute.

Blogger Beta has got to go. Functionality sucks. What were they thinking when they were working on the revisions??

Annoyed yet that the streaming video just went on without pressing play? Go ahead. Just hit stop on the Media Player......





I have spent the whole afternoon fooling around with embedded video codes and I didn't get anything else done. Why? Don't ask me. I just got it into my head that I really don't like copying YouTube videos into my commercial websites because they really make it look cheap. Besides, some of the videos that I like are not on YouTube.

I finally decided to hack the hacks that I found on the web because they just don't look nice enough to go on my websites. I am so picky about design and the overall look it adds. I do believe that if they are not perfect, they are not good enough.

First I decided to embed a promotional video file from Windstar Cruises http://windstarcruises.com/images/videos/SiB_high.wmv

I thought I could just get away with using an iframe code to embed it on my blog, but the bloody thing just kept on popping out instead of getting imbedded. So I decided to write this code instead:

<br /><br /><br /><embed src="http://windstarcruises.com/images/videos/SiB_high.wmv" autoplay="true" cache="true" loop="false" href="http://windstarcruises.com/images/videos/SiB_high.wmv"></embed><br /><br /><br /><br />

I know I should really be using the object code instead of an embed code. But, oh well, I pride myself on workable shortcuts without having to mess with parameter attributes.

As this is being used on a commercial blog, I have programmed the media player to play once (Loop) on at pageload (Autoplay) using cached file if this is not their first visit (Cache) and a pop up window of the video if clicked on (Href).

It does look better than Google or YouTube and I am very happy with the result.

Saturday night Lem and I went to the movies instead of shaking our boodies doing salsa. I still feel a little bit winded and don't think I can go through a whole night of dancing without being cranky.

And when I am cranky, Lem tells me that I go out of my way to make his night miserable also. It's like an out-of-body experience, because, really, I don't do it in purpose....

Anyway, we watched Ghost Rider and I thought it was a terrific movie. It is based on a Marvel comic so be prepared for the over-the-top scenes and lots of cleavage shots from actress and supermodel Eva Mendes.

We had a couple sitting behind us that I think were on the date, and she kept on saying "It's so cheesy" all throughout the movie. I think she just couldn't get over her date gawking over Eva's blatantly displayed assets.

Even my fiance, the first thing he said when we walked out of the movie theatre was "Eva is hot". Of course, silly woman I am, had to ask if he thought I was hot as her..... :)

Sooner or later, all the great hollywood legends like Nicolas Cage realize that they need to grab on the sequel gravy train. I am surprised it just took him this long to get there. The way the Ghost Rider ended, you just know, Part 2 is just sitting around the corner in pre-production.

Me love Nicolas Cage. Me go see Ghost Rider Part 2 on opening weekend.

With all the products available in the market today, how do you pick what is the best hair removal system for you? The supermarket has got shelves and shelves of products that just leaves you stumped on what to buy. They all claim that it will leave you feeling smooth and hairless.

How do you decide?

The NaturalWellbeing.com - Online Hair Removal Store has the 411 on everything related to body hair removal:

Electrolysis
Epilators
Hair Growth Inhibitors
Hair Removal Creams / Depilatories
Ingrown Hair Treatments
Sugaring
Waxing

Personally, I am not the waxing kind of gal. I am a big believer that beauty and perfection can be achieved without pain and suffering. If you check out my bathroom closet you will find several brands hair removal creams, sugaring products and hair growth inhibitors. They definitely work better than taking Lem's shaver:) Nicks and cuts aren't my kind of thing either.

I do, however, want to check out the New Vector Electrolysis System. I have been eyeing the one over at NaturalWellbeing.com because it is on sale - it is $50 off and Naturalwellbeing.com will ship it for free to my home. I really would love to get my hands on one of those.

I just love going to the salon and having electrolysis done, but really, who can afford to get it done all the time? With the New Vector Electrolysis system, who needs the salon? I can use it in the comfort of my home and anytime I want. I will never have to wax or shave again because it will give the same results as going to the salon. And, it uses tweezers instead of needles (ouch) to make hair removal safer and less painful.

See, someone out there was listening to me. No pain, and a lot to gain.

Last night, I started playing around with my FeedBurner feed for The Bikini Body Diet, and of course, right when I was about to turn off my computer at 2AM, I discovered I screwed it all up! My feed disappeared. I must have hit a wrong button somewhere because the feed was not updating.

And when you are tired, everything just take twice as difficult to retrack your steps to figure out where, oh where, did I go wrong..... You know what I mean? I just kept on skipping right through the solution. Nothing is quite so obvious when my mind decides to shut down.

Finally, I got it working. I should have just quit while I was ahead, because I got started on widgets. For my blogs. All of them. Next thing you know it 7AM and I was just too wired up to sleep right away.

I was up by 10:30 because Lem is never quiet when he works on his computer. I managed to get a couple of decent articles out today, but there still is so much to do. Now that I have all these breaking news to report, I still can't establish a pattern of reporting on a timely basis.

And did you know, if the world's economy shut down for a day, and there is no more talk about elections or terrorists, celebrity gossip will still keep you buzzing from sun up to sun down? I still have the celebrity news and pictures for today to post on The Designer Diva. If I don't get to post them today, by tomorrow, they are going to be old news. I can't believe people seriously make a living as paparazzis. How do they do it??

To complicate things, Blogger decides that this is the day I will not be able to log in to Old Blogger without moving to Blogger Beta. After finally making the decision to move the blogs over to Wordpress, I was faced with the decision to go Blogger Beta instead. Of course, there's nothing spectacular about it. It just made me pissed.

How can you say no in making really easy money?

I am glad that some of my blog visitors have decided to take the PayPerPost challenge and make some money. I can see your name on my referral list and when you will start to get paid!

*doing the happy dance *

I am right there with you counting the days til payday because when you get paid, I get my referral cash too!

Thank you! Danke! Muchas Gracias!

You know, I am saving it all for the shoes I want from the 2007 Louis Vuitton Summer Collection. I am giving myself the much needed designer pampering and because of the affiliate program, I am able to afford to get two pairs!

Yeah, baby. This has got to be the easiest referral program on the entire world wide web.

PayPerPost wants you to build blog traffic to your site and they want to pay you to do it. If you are not interested in taking paid postings on your site, then consider promoting the Review Me Program or the Affiliate Program. All it requires is a couple of badges similar to this ~



And when your visitors open their account and start blogging, that is money in your pocket.

Really, saying no to this opportunity just does not make any sense.
