I’ve been using AuctionAds on my blogs pretty much since Auction ads started up in March, 2007.

Do you see the widget in my left sidebar? About a third of the way down? There’s photo’s of items and it says “Current Bid $” below them? Well that’s how I’m using AuctionAds on this site.

You can create vertical or horizontal widgets to use on your site. You can use them in posts, pages or in your sidebars if you’d like. It’s very easy. Plus, once you sign up you not only instantly get $25 added to your account immediately, but you are also automatically entered into their referral program so that anyone that signs up via your link gains you a referral.

You pick the keywords that fit with your site, article or post and AuctionAds finds products on Ebay that are being sold that fit the keyword descriptions.

For example, I just quickly created a widget that would display items listed under humor and this is what my widget looks like:

So what are you waiting for? Try AuctionAds Today!

BTW anyone who signed up, but hasn’t earned anything is apparently getting $25 added to their account too, so check your accounts! and yes, all my links are affiliate links. I’d love it if I could refer you and help you start making some money too.

If you’d like to promote your site and get it listed a slightly different kind of directory perhaps you might be interested in visiting The Big Weblinks directory.

As I said it’s a little different than Google or Yahoo. You can submit your site and it will be looked over by a human editor, but sites are listed according to how much they’ve bid for placement. Therefore this is a bidding web directory. Sites offering the highest bid amounts are listed at the top of each category section, and the top 10 listings are shown on the front page. The top 20 link bidders are also shown on the top links page.

Any listings you place in the Big Weblinks directory are permanent. Why don’t you check it out, read their FAQ.

I don’t know if you’ve heard yet, but a new search engine will soon be launching. Megaglobe - New International Search Engine. Megagloge is spidering the web, collecting sites for it’s search engine. Naturally I listed all of our sites as soon as I visited MegaGlobe because I love being spidered! Hmmm that sounds kind of kinky doesn’t it?

After reading a few press releases for Megaglobe, I discovered that they plan to implement tools that will help put a stop to click fraud. It’s called “Zero Click Fraud” technology, and it will be able to detect false clicks. This will be beneficial to advertisers and websites that place pay per click types of advertising on their sites, because as you might know Google is having a huge problem with click fraud right now with it’s adsense products. MegaGlobe hopes to eliminate this type of fraud which will make pay per click advertising work so much better for website owners and advertisers alike.

When Megaglobe launches it will be available in 45 languages which means it will be able to service the whole world. I think this is going to be an amazing search engine as it will operate from over 300 individual country-specific URL’s, and it will be translated into hundreds of languages. Plus it will employ a unique and sophisticated algorithm to improve the quality of Internet searching. I think MegaGlobe could easily become a rival to Google if it turns out to be as good as it sounds in the press releases.

When Megaglobe launches I want to explore it. I just have a feeling that it’s going to be another great search engine. It looks like MegaGlobe will be offering some kind of ad system. I could be wrong about that though, I’m just guessing since it has developed the click fraud prevention coding. I’m not sure if will offer a way for website owners to make money on their websites through the use of their ads or if the ads will just be on the megaglobe pages. I definitely want to check into the ad system when MegaGlobe starts up. In the mean time why don’t you visit megaglobe and get your site listed too?

Heads up people!

If you like to shop online I’ve found a great place where you can get coupon codes for your favorite online stores. I kept hearing from people telling me how much they loved going to the couponchief. The site is easy to use and it has coupon codes for hundreds of well known online stores. Just look at the list of stores, select one that you like and browse the listing for coupons that you can use to purchase whatever you happen to be looking for online.

Our home is always undergoing renovations so I like the coupons that are offered for Home Depot. I’m sure you’ll find a store listed at Coupon Chief that you either physically shop at, or one that visit online, why not stop and get a coupon code before you shop?
