I can't recommend the Zemanta plugin enough. However, if you find it to not be your cup of tea, then perhaps you'll have an interest in the Freebie Images plugin instead.
I found this interesting site that called Who Links to Me which, well, tells you who links to you.
This is especially useful if you are involved in a link exchange program as you can see in a snap if your backlink has been reciprocated.
Logical Media is my absolute favorite affiliate program thus far.
And it is not that I have made a killing off them so far
(Unless, of course, you consider $.40) a killing.
I just enjoy the fact that they are pay per click, lead, or sale.
And the fact that they send out an email with each new opportunity that includes a quick banner ad with my referral link.
Since I run so many blogs, this makes it super easy to decide which blog or blogs would best match the ad.
You can actually see them in ...
The BareFootFoodie has written and funny post on how to effectively get started on StumbleUpon.
Warning, though, that post is full of profanity that might offend the more sensitive.
To give you a hint on just how, er, profound her vocubulary choice is the title of her article is "The Probably Complete Guide To Not Fucking Up StumbleUpon".
If the title does not offend, feel free to read her original article. However, I have taken the liberty to add a few things that may have been updated ...
The more people who Digg it, the higher in rank it goes. The higher in rank it goes, the more likely it will be on the frontpage. And once on the front page, it will, of course, continue to receive excellent Diggs.
Ever wondered how your fellow Bloggers get some of those nifty giftys to review and/or giveaway?
Or how they can afford to enter event after event to build their fan pages, twitter followers, etc…?
Well, one of the easiest ways to prevent having to pay for those things out of your own pocket is via Superpoints.com.
Yep, if you check out my blog, MoneyTrina.com (soon to be PayOutProof.com), you will see proof of the Paypal Payouts that I have received now that I spend a few minutes every day on Superpoints.
And you can get more than Paypal.
Just a quick glance at the Rewards Catalog of Superpoints shows gift cards for Amazon, Best Buy, and even Domino’s Pizza and Jamba Juice.
If you prefer more tangible goods there is always Apple nanos and Imacs. Sony Playstation and Xbox 360s.
So, why should you join Superpoints?
For free cash and prizes for your readers…or yourself…
And why should you join under me?
Because I am giving you the opportunity to win $10 Paypal Cash just for joining my team and completing your profile!
I am uber excited to have finally found a new domain name TheGoodBuy.net.
I have wanted to move it over to a .com for ever and a day now and finally, Finally, FINALLY my brain kicked into gear a found a name that I liked (and wasn’t already taken).
Introducing….
SavingMakesCents.com
Get it…?
A play on Saving Makes Sense….
Ok, I thought it was clever!
~raspberries to you all~
Lol.
I’m off to port the old blog to the new and change my Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, etc, etc, etc…
You just sit there and contemplate just how clever I really am….Lol.
An in the continuing saga of what in the world is wrong with this blog now, I still cannot predate blog posts.
~Sigh~
Which explains why I have not been posting much on here.
Well, that and a combination of procrastination lazy and being busy working on my other blogs.
However, yesterday it occurred to me that I could just use the Editorial Calendar as a temporary work around.
And, thus, this post was born (and written yesterday, by the way. Lol.)
On my shopping blog, I use the Editorial Calendar plugin as a quick way to see what posts that I have scheduled on what day.
It also also allows me to move posts to a different day with a simple click and drag.
For the purposes of this blog, I used the Editorial Calendar’s ability to write a simple, unformated post right from the plugin’s dashboard.
Well, I could actually format using html if I was more familiar with, well…HTML.
Ah, wordpress, how you did spoil me! Lol.
After writing just anything in the post, I actually came back to the All Posts tab of my main dashboard and was easily able to make updates to this post.
I still cannot get my Media uploader to work.
Nor will this blog’s hyperlink tool work.
But…two thumbs up for the Editorial Calendar for at least solving on of my problems.

In the New Year, I decided to give myself a small marketing budget to increase the number of followers on each of my blogs.
From dismal numbers probably totaling all together 100 followers, let’s look at my numbers now.
For now, we are going to look at my Facebook Followers although my Google Plus Numbers are increasing as well!
The Giveaway Car now has 867
The Good Buy has 548.
Sass Class has 66.
Amablogger has 30.
Earness has 27.
VoucherList has 23.
Singed Wings has 19.
MoneyTrina has 19.
My Spoiled Self has 15.
What increased my numbers so exponentially on TheGiveAwayCar and TheGoodBuy.net.
GiveAways!
A giveaway that I sponsored myself for a mere $10 Paypal saw my first leaps in followers once I started marketing the giveaway on various contest sites.
For another $20, I entered my blogs into giveaways being hosted on other blogs.
As soon as those giveaways launched, another flood of followers came into play.
At first, I was sending them to TheGoodBuy, which is why the numbers on there are so high, and a few went to SassClass.
But then I decided to switch to sending them to TheGiveAwayCar because clearly the people entering the giveaways liked to enter giveaways.
And The Give Away Car is all about giveaways.
And most of the giveaways on The GiveAwayCar will also have options to follow my other blogs for exta entries.
So, I am feeding them back to all of my blogs…more bang for the buck!
Did I lose you? I hope not…makes sense in my head?
If I did, just leave a comment asking me to make it more clear and I will work on that.
I am always impressed with the generosity of the ladies at Affiliate ABCs Affiliate ABCs.
This time they have released transcripts of a podcast on how to run a coupon site entitled Best Practices For Coupon Sites on NightFire Publications.
It is a round table discussion featuring Affiliate ABCs hosts Deborah Carney and Vinny O’Hare joined Kim Salvino, Amy Ely, and Jeannine Crooks of buy.at
They released this podcast because of the influx of coupon sites using standardized scripts and wordpress plugins (guilty! gulp!) and all of these our coupon sites are looking quite cookie cutter.
They discussion ranged from making sure that your sales and coupons are up to date and merchant approved.
They even make mention of a coupon aggregate that pulls all of the dead coupons for you!
They also discuss the value and methods of contacting a merchant directly to see if you can get a discount code the is very specific for your website (as well as issue cautions on “borrowing” a code from another site unless you truly do like handing your competition a commission.
Do you know how a Click To Reveal works and how to use it effectively?
Have you heard of Offer Central or know what it does?
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Stop! Don’t buy a domain name until you read this book first.
Ok, so that was a little melodramatic…lol…but this is a good, quick eBook on how to jump start your thinking on the perfect domain name for yourself, your business, or the business of a client.
The $7.95 Marketing Plan by Jim F. Kukral is a vehicle that will teach you how to build your brand for less than the cost of a pizza.
After all, besides having an already known brand name such as Pepsi.com or McDonalds.com, there are ways to make even the domain of your website memorable.
So… What’s In The $7.95 Marketing Plan?
Well, not an actual marketing plan for one.
Instead, the author discusses the value of a good domain name, how to come up with a memorable name, gives examples of domain names that you can’t forget as well as just plain fun domain names, and domain names that make money.
And this blog itself is a good example of the amount of thought that I put into a domain name before clicking the Buy Button.
Want to hear my thought process?
Ok…
“You are sooo the opposite of a problogger…so what should you name your blog.”
“Hm. AmateurBlogger.com is already taken. Darn it!”
“Ama is three letters. Pro is three letters. I may have something here.”
“Oooh. AmaBlogger could mean AmateurBlogger and I Am a Blogger. Score.”
