Black Friday ads are usually kept secret until you receive the circulars in your Thanksgiving Day newspaper. However Black-Friday.net gives you the advantage by showing you all of the Black Friday 2008 ads before anyone else. Black-Friday.net also offers direct links to each product so you can purchase the items online on Black Friday without having to stand in line at the store. This site let people purchase Black Friday items online without the hassle of having to wake up early at 4am.
The site also offers email alerts that let you know when new black friday ads have been posted. My planning your holiday shopping last year was very friendly thanks to this website. They publish email alerts as soon as the ads start posting on their site and you got to register for this awesome feature. I knew about a bestbuy ad for a GPS around 20 days before thanksgiving. This helped me get a great deal on GPS using the website. I even purchased it online on the day of thanksgiving without going to the store. I saved around 100 bucks thanks to Black-Friday.net. Also note that you can easily get a picture or a scanned ad on which items are on sale at various prices and even I have heard people make money from these black friday deals by selling the items on ebay a month later.
I would definitely recommend keep an eye on 2008 thanksgiving specials and watchout for deals that start to appear around October. To start with please enter your email address in the "Email Updates" section of their site to be notified when new Black Friday ads are posted.

Make more money from Google AdSense Third-Party Ads
Google has opened the doors to earn more money through the placement of Third-Party Ads expanding their advertising inventory and the potential to earn more from those ads.
This will empower advertisers to work with approved third parties to serve and track display ads, including rich media ads, across the Google content network through AdWords, giving them more options, flexibility and control over their campaigns.
Google now has a process to review third-party ads to make sure they comply with the company's format and content policies. For Google and its AdSense publishers, this means a larger advertising inventory and the potential to earn more money through the placement of those ads. For advertisers, this means that ad campaigns can be managed using a consistent software application, whether it's provided by Google or another ad serving company.
Because third-party ads could include malicious content, Google is requiring ad providers to be certified in order to serve ads on its network.
The following companies have been certified so far: 1) Advertiser ad servers: DoubleClick (DFA) and Mediaplex; 2) Rich media agencies: DoubleClick Rich Media, Eyeblaster, EyeWonder, Interpolls, PointRoll, and Unicast; 3) Research firms: Dynamic Logic, IAG Research, InsightExpress, and Factor TG.
What's not there? Atlas & Yahoo Ads (Yahoo! Publisher Network)
Atlas is owned by Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT). I'm sure it was just a technical error.

How to get PPP posts Auto Approved ?
| I got my PPP post first time automatically approved and it is solely based on my high quality performance as a PPP Postie! It seems we need to consistently get 5 posts approved without any issues to reach this status. Please note: PPP will still do a manual check of posts against the opportunity and PPP criteria as a verification of this approval. Should my post not meet requirements, I may get a rejection notice at a later date. |
Final payment is dependent upon my post meeting all criteria set both in the advertiser's opportunity, and in the PPP ToS. If my post is rejected during manual review, and I am not able to update and resubmit, payment will not be made on this post.
Congrats to me again on being an outstanding PPP Postie!! And I would watch for more auto approvals!!

Make money from Cell Phones
I got an unexpected call and was wondering Who's Number Is This? This led me to searching on the internet for do not call registry and registering my number there. However, if their needs require further assistance, I also found a reverse phone lookup service. Most people can solve their needs by registering their number with the No Call List Information. I was also thrilled to spend a lot of time researching the Internet and found some excellent cell phone deals & offers for you.
1. Nokia 6133 cell phones + $100 Cash Back
2. LG VX5400 at Zero up front cost + You Make $50
3. AT&T HTC Tilt - Rated Best Device By Consumer Reports 2008
4. Nokia 2610 at ZERO cost up front plus you make $75
5. Samsung SGH-i617 Blackjack™ II Dark Red plus you make $50 - Rated Best Device By Consumer Reports 2008
6. Samsung M520 Silver plus you get a $50 rebate
Because I am not fond of waiting 6 months to get cash back from mail-in rebates. I am excited to recommend Tmiwireless, where you have a choice of up to 24 mobile smart phones at $0 cost up front where there are many cellular providers choose from. Please click on the picture of the handset to the left to learn more. One company I discovered, Tmiwireless has simplified everything for you by featuring the "best free deals" the provider. AT&T / Cingular won the top award for the best carrier with the best pricing & customer-service ratings. Please click this blue underlined carrier deals link here to order free phones. It help me switch from T Mobile to Cingular. Every one of these cellphone handsets includes no fee shipping, the blackberry killer, Motorola Q Mobile also comes with cash back. There are many cellular providers choose from, here is why you may want to consider Cingular.
Cingular is delivering social networking to mobile in new ways and letting the MySpace community share their experiences as they happen directly from their mobile like never before. As leading edge mobile service providers: Cingular, Sprint and Helio are offering unlimited:
1. Mobile to mobile minutes on their extensive nationwide digital network

AdBrite rocks with Live Nation
The AdBrite team announced it has joined hands with Live Nation - the world’s largest live music company - in announcing Live Nation eFan Finder, an exciting new service that leverages AdBrite’s technology and brings lots of new concert promotion advertising to the AdBrite marketplace.
Concerts for Dave Matthews Band, Jonas Brothers, George Michael, John Mayer, Kid Rock, Snoop Dogg, Rush, Motley Crue, Journey, and more are already being promoted in the AdBrite marketplace. Look for them on your site soon!
The service will track thousands of shows it produces and markets all over North America each year. While more than a third of concert-goers learn about shows online, only a tiny fraction of the concert industry’s ad budget is spent online. Live Nation eFan Finder is a completely new service that takes campaign performance tracking to a new level.
Live Nation eFan Finder takes this a step further by answering a key question that we often get asked – ‘where are my ads running, and how are they performing?’ Now AdBrite has a custom system that allows Live Nation to administer the campaigns centrally, but allows local band agents, managers and promoters (and even artists) to see detailed reporting on the on-line promotion that Live Nation does on their behalf.
Who called me?
I feel most people can solve their needs by registering their number with the no call list. However, if their needs require further assistance, I recommend a reverse phone lookup service that aims to bring you in touch with the services you need with the least amount of hassle.
I had used their services when I used to get calls on my cell phone from a Houston based company trying to sell me lottery tickets by saying a Hi.
I found the Who Just Called service useful and used it tactfully to gear towards a lookup done on a single phone number and don't see the need for a reverse lookup in the future. The single report includes: owner name, owner address, phone provider, and more. You can then block this from your list. It is very convinient.

My FREE Paintball sport in Vegas
Yesterday when I was in Las Vegas, I got a FREE chance to play the finest and Ultimate Paintball with the Tippmann guns. It was my second experience playing paintball.
Previously I had used the Tippmann 98 Custom which is also a top selling gun. It was a great sport I had at Vegas. The cyclone feed system did a good job of not making me shake the gun to get it to fire.
Ultimate Paintball carries a full line of paintball supplies. Visit their website (http://www.pntball.com/) to view all their products. They sell Tippmann, Spyder, Smart Parts, Dye, Empire, Draxxus paintball gear, markers, barrels, hoppers, harnesses, tubes, and paintball masks.
You can find basically everything you'll need or want. Also, make sure to take a look at the upgrades it offers. The Tippmann upgrade is one of the most advanced upgrades that you can get for your paintball gun. With the upgrade you'll dramatically increase the performance of your gun; and look good in front of your guy friends. So check out this site! It is great for all your paintballing needs!
Not only do they offer a huge inventory of top of the line supplies with the best prices, they also offer free shipping.
FREE 5GB Skydrive from Microsoft
Microsoft has increased storage on Windows Live Skydrive to 5GB, up by a multiple of five from its previous limit of 1GB (the 1GB having doubled the original 500MB in October).
My Gmail account sits at 6.7GB today, so Skydrive is still behind, having said that I’m not sure how many (average) people would use Gmail for online storage, so the comparison doesn’t make a lot of sense.
The more notable point is that Microsoft continues to grow its online storage offering when Google simply hasn’t launched the fabled Platypus online storage solution despite years of speculation and rumors.
This is one space where Microsoft has the upper hand, and a 4GB storage jump will further increase the appeal of the product.
On top of the extra storage, Windows Live Skydrive has dropped the beta tag, and is now available in the following additional countries:
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Finland, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Turkey.
Won $1,000 at MGM Grand Hotel/Casino
I just returned back from the sightseeing tours to Las Vegas. What a spectacular trip it was, thanks to Trusted Tours and Attractions. Apart from winning $1,000 in BlackJack at MGM Grand Hotel/Casino, I also had Luxury Helicopter Night Flight Tour Over Dazzling Las Vegas! Rise above the City of Lights, it was the most spectacular view of the dazzling Las Vegas Strip from the comfort of my jet copter! I had also purchased a MealTicket which is an exciting new product, and the best value for dining. For one low price, you receive breakfast, lunch and dinner featuring 9 of the most popular restaurants in Las Vegas! And NO reservations are needed.
Trusted Tours and Attractions offers discounted tickets to the best sightseeing tours in 23 cities across America. If I have no plans on Memorial Day, I would be checking out all the Things to do in Atlanta and plan a trip to Georgia's most visited attraction, drawing nearly 4 million guests yearly.
Trusted Tours and Attractions offers the tickects to all the Famous Atlanta tours and attractions at ONE AMAZING price! I would not miss the CNN Center, World of Coke, Georgia Aquarium, Centennial Olympic Park while I ride the coolest machine in the world- the Segway! This would be the perfect way to see the 'Capitol of the South'.

Pathway to a faster Gmail
Performance improvements often go unnoticed, and that's okay. Great performance has always been an obsession at Google and it's something that Google thinks about and works on everyday. Every user wants Gmail to be really fast, and Google keeps working on ways to make it faster. Gmail's architecture eliminates many of the delays in reading mail by employing techniques like prefetching, but recently Google decided to take a close look at some other key parts of Gmail to see if they can speed things up.
One of the areas Google worked on was the initial loading sequence: everything that happens behind the scenes between the time you press the "Sign in" button on the login page and the moment you land in your inbox. While the improvements made won't resolve every "This is taking longer than usual..." message you might see when loading Gmail over a slow connection, I've seen a real reduction (up to 20%) in overall load time compared to when Gmail started.
Now there is a significant reduction in the number of overall HTTP requests, by making more of the requests cacheable by the browser, and reducing the overhead of each request. Also they reduced the weight of each request itself by eliminating or narrowing the scope of some of the cookies. Now all the images were cacheable by the browser, and now consolidated small icon images into single meta-images, a technique known as spriting. Even combined several requests into a single combined request and response.
The result is that it now takes as few as four requests from the click of the "Sign in" button to the display of your inbox.
