My wife and I have been thinking of taking a vacation. Not just any vacation - a trip to Australia. We’ve always wanted to go and we think that we will finally do it sometime next year.

In preparation we’ve started doing a little research into how much flights will cost, the price of accommodation, and of course what we’ll do when we are finally in Australia. We aren’t even sure exactly which part of Australia we’d like to go to but I’d like to see Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne as well as much wildlife as possible.

I think we’d probably go to Melbourne first so I’ll have to look up some Melbourne Hotels. You might already know that my wife is a gardener so I’m sure she’ll want to visit the botanic gardens while we are in Melbourne.

Hey I just took a moment to see if I could find any Cheap Melbourne Hotels and I found a site that not only lists all types of hotels, but it also talks a little bit about the city of Melbourne and says that it’s fairly easy to travel between Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane using a discount airline. That’s good to know. This site might have just saved us money on Accommodation in Melbourne and airfare from one part of Australia to another! Cool.

Obviously we still have a lot of research to do before we can fully begin to plan our trip. As I said it would be nice to go to the Botanical gardens, maybe a zoo or two, and to see the sights within the City of Melbourne and any other places we go in Australia. I’m sure it’ll be an experience that we won’t forget.

I’ve never been much of a better but I do follow Football, baseball and hockey games and occasionally enter into friendly bets with friends. I do know a lot of people that bet seriously on games, well on just about anything really. I guess it can be addictive, and maybe I’m just lucky that it never caught on too much with me.

I did find a site that I’m told is one of the oldest sports handicapping websites online today. Jimfeist.com offers Football Picks and full game analysis on all major games and sports including basketball, football, hockey, baseball, horse racing, golf and many more. Free picks are offered daily as well in order to showcase the handicapper’s talents at calling the game’s winner.

Jimfeist.com has everything you need to stay ahead of the game. There are several sections to the site including scores and stats, Proline, Sports Picks and even contests - there are four active contests right now. You can also get workbooks and magazines, sports schedules, schedule updates, league reports, plus information from Linetracker.com and OffshoreConnection.com.

I know I’m going to have to tell a few friends about this site so they can get their sports picks. I’ll probably never see them anymore once I tell them about this site ’cause they’ll be too busy hanging out on it doing all their sports betting.

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?

If you have ads on your site- google adsense, text link ads or if you write blog posts that advertise for other companies and websites - you might want to create a disclosure policy to post somewhere on your blog. You can tell your readers exactly where you stand on the issue of paid ads and making money on your website in one easy to create statement.

I just created my own Disclosure policy using the Disclosure Policy Generator. The generator was very easy to use - 6 steps I believe. Simply choose the statements that best describe your sites policy get to the end and click finish. Then all you need to do is copy and paste the disclosure policy that you’ve pasted into a post or a page on your site. You can change the wording once you copy the disclosure that you’ve created to suit your sides description better.

If you scroll down to the bottom of my site - yep right there under ODD PAGES - yep that’s it, click the plus sign beside the words “Odd Pages” and you’ll find my disclosure policy in there. Read it and let me know what you think of it. I think it’s a great way of being open and honest with your readers.
