So, What Is The Best Gift For Valentine’s Day

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012 at 9:12 pm

Comments (39)

Today is the 1st of February and it is also the month of the most important day of the year. Its very important for men and most important to women. Yep, you guessed it, I’m talking about Valentine’s day! It’s very important that men don’t forget it and really important to the women that the men remember how important it is to the women. They may argue the point but I’m pretty sure that most men out there have had to deal will women after forgetting to show their appreciation for them by showing their love on this most auspicious day. As important as it is to the men and women of this world it’s even more important to the marketers and retailers because they’re the ones that capitalize from this annual event. That being the case there is no reason why us bloggers get in on the action. The way to do that is to use our blogs to market to all those blokes out there who, if they know whats good for them, will give their better half something nice on Valentines day. OK, all you guys out there, there is a very good reason too for not forgetting to buy your better half a Valentines Gift. Forget about what I said about Valentines Day on my Load Of Bullshit blog. Forgetting your better half on Valentine’s day can have dire consequences, anything from not getting laid on the night to getting the silent treatment for some time to come. As to those of

you who have yet to score a girlfriend, this is probably one of the best opportunities you will get to show the woman of your dreams how much you think of her. Who knows, play your cards right and you may land your first girlfriend. The problem that most guys, and a lot of women, have is deciding what to give to their Valentine. Well, that’s cool because I have some very good ideas for you and thankfully for you some of those ideas come straight from one of the most reliable online stores ever. Yep, you guessed it Amazon.

The Best Ever Valentines Gifts

Shop Amazon – Valentine’s Day Top Gift Ideas: Great for the astute buyer, this selection includes gifts for men and women, many discounted up to 70%! It has everything from jewellery and watches to power tools and digital cameras, not to forgetthe ever popular box of chocolates.
Shop Amazon Jewelry – Gifts for Every Valentine, Selections up to 70% Off: You can never go wrong with jewellery when it comes to buying a gift for that special woman in your life. There’s a lot to choose from this store, many coming with a great discount. I particularly like this 18″ Sterling Silver Marcasite and Garnet Colored Glass Heart Pendant and at $36.99 it’s a steal. Others may prefer the tear shaped topaz drop earrings or even one of the many rings.
Shop Amazon – Flowers for the One You Love: Yep, one must never discount the power of a lovely bunch of flowers and if you want something that will last a hell of a lot longer then you should consider the ever popular indoor plants. If you’re not sure which one is for you I would definitely stick with the flowers.
Shop Amazon Movies – Valentine’s Day – Romance Movies: There are definitely some woman that are a pushover for a romantic movie and it’s up to you to decide if yours is one of them. Of course, if you’re planning on a romantic night in then there is nothing wrong with cuddling in front of a soppy romantic movie.
Shop Amazon Mobile Electronics – Valentine’s Deals for $100 or Less: Let’s face it not every woman is into flowers, jewellery or perfume and I can safely say that most men definitely aren’t interested in that crap and so I present to you a line of gifts from te electronics department, all for $100 or less. You will find products such as GPS navigators, MP3 players and car radios.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being a little naughty on Valentines day and if you’re the sort that doesn’t mind ramping it up at least one day out of the year then you will definitely get some particularly interesting ideas from my Top Sexual Aids blog.

Other Great Amazon Deals

Sharing Photos Is Best Done With Flickr

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011 at 12:42 am

Comments (68)

Most of you know that I have two photo blogs, but what you don’t know is that the site I used to host my photos on went broke and I lost all my photos. This created a major problem on those sites because it meant that as soon as that site went offline, with no warning mind you, all my posts lost their photos. I cannot describe the hassles involved in matching the right photos to the right posts. It took ages!

First thing first though, before I could upload the photos I needed to find a new site for them. I didn’t want to host them with my blog host because I didn’t want to use up all that band width. After doing a lot of research I decided that the best site to host my photos was Flickr! I have to admit the fact that Flickr was free did help to sway my choice but once I started using it I was happy that I chose them.

As you would expect having two photo blogs meant that it was only a matter of time before I used up the free portion of my account but once I did I didn’t hesitate to go for the 2 year Flickr Pro account for $2 a month! I haven’t looked back since. The thing is I was so busy uploading photos and displaying them on my blogs that I completely forgot to edit my profile. I did it late last night linking to my photo blogs and to this one as well. I will definitely have to go back and jazz it up a little, after all, why let all that potential link juice go to waste.

One of the things I like about flickr is you can choose how to classify your photos. You can make them open to the general public, to friends and family or you can make them completely private. The only ones I make private are those that have no photographic value like those where you’ve grabbed a screen to show people how something is done.

Anyway, enough about Flickr, I’m sure you all know how good it is, now to show off a few more photos from when I was in Los Angeles. People if you go to California you have to go down to Santa Monica beach, which is on the end of Route 66. We only spent a short while there as we were on a tour but you could easily spend so much more. I took these few shots while on the Santa Monica Pier. They say that everything in the States is big but I have to admit I was shocked to see an amusement park on the pier itself. It’s even got restaurants, an entertainment and other retail establishments.

This beautifully maintained merry-go-round was housed in one of the buildings.

Naturally you’ll find this ride outside.

What was that I said, everything in the States was big? Well not when it came to buying a hotdog and fries. They were the smallest I’ve ever seen. I could have eaten all these myself but I thought I should share them with the wife.

Just one thing before I go, I feel pretty safe with Flickr because it’s all part of Yahoo and I can’t see them closing their doors anytime soon.

Edit: After reading the comments there seems to be a little confusion as to how the Pro account differs from the Free account and so I thought I would add this to the post.

Unlimited photo uploads (20MB per photo)

Unlimited video uploads (90 seconds max, 500MB per video)

The ability to show HD Video

Unlimited storage

Unlimited bandwidth

Archiving of high-resolution original images

The ability to replace a photo

Post any of your photos or videos in up to 60 group pools

Ad-free browsing and sharing

View count and referrer statistics

Compare that to what you get with a Free Account:

300 MB monthly photo upload limit (15MB per photo)

2 video uploads each month (90 seconds max, 150MB per video)

Photostream views limited to the 200 most recent images

Post any of your photos in up to 10 group pools

Only smaller (resized) images accessible (though the originals are saved in case you upgrade later)

How A Woman Made Me Change My Evil Ways

Monday, August 2nd, 2010 at 5:23 am

Hey guys, do you notice anything different about the blog? No? Well if you look again you may noticed that I have removed most of the ads. You know, I’ve lost track of the amount of people who have told me that my blog looked crappy because of the amount of ads I had placed on it. I reckon that if I had a dollar for every snide remark I could easily have purchased a carton of cold beer.

I’ve had them all, from newbies to A Listers, one A Lister even comparing Wassup to a Christmas tree. I’m not going to mention his name because I don’t want to be accused of link dropping for the sole purpose of getting traffic. Yep, I was actually accused of that when I wrote my post on why I no longer link to the likes of Problogger and John Chow, a post that didn’t link to either of them.

So, why did I remove them? It was because of a woman, and you all know how I love to please my women. Yep, I can still remember the time when I pulled out all the plugs just to please Holly, another of my female commentators. You can read all about that in this post on how to remove InfoLinks from your comments.

Still, that is another story and this one belongs to another amazing woman, Kimberly and her post 31DBBB – Day 4 – Analyze a Top Blog In Your Niche where she honestly reviews three blogger, yours truly being one of them, and guess what what? She refers to the ads on my blog as clutter! So what makes her opinion different from all the others? Was it because she’s of the opposite sex Well, all I can say is that her post moved me to the point where I just had to act, and if it made just one more woman happy then it was all worth while.

Seeing as how I’m talking about advertising on blogs I think it’s a good time to mention the OIOPublisher plugin, a plugin that automates all ad purchases on a blog, including text ads, banner ads, and paid reviews! Whats really good about it is that it frees up your time so that you can devote it to what is really important, writing good content. I think that because it’s completely automated it may allow potential advertisers to book a spot on your blog who may not have otherwise parted with their hard earned money.

While the plugin normally costs $47 you can get OIOPublisher for $37 by mentioning My Coupon: ‘SOLAR-WASSUP’ when purchasing it. This coupon is only valid till the end of August. There will probably be another coupon when that expires but I can’t say how much it will be worth. I know I delayed buying it for quite awhile and I admit it was a mistake because that decision probably cost me some sales.

If you decide to purchase the plugin I suggest that you create some sort of Advertise Here page where you explain to potential advertisers why they should purchase a spot from you. Don’t pay too much attention to my page as I put it together fairly quickly and it could really do with some major work. If you do a great job on this page the prospect of getting advertising dollars is greatly increased.

Looking For US Citizens Who Buy Alternative Milk Products

Thursday, June 24th, 2010 at 11:21 pm

We only found out recently that my daughter was lactose intolerant, which basically means that she is allergic to anything that has milk as part of it’s ingredients. Naturally that means she can’t have things such as milk, chocolate, ice cream, bread and stuff. The problem is we’ve also found out that milk is used in a lot of other products one wouldn’t expect to find milk in such as potato crisps. This means reading the labels very carefully. Consuming anything with milk in it causes her to get ill and that seriousness of the illness is related to the amount of milk in the product as well as the amount she’s consumed.

Seeing as how I’ve already got an interest in the lactose intolerance and alternative milk products I was intrigued when one of my affiliates contacted me as to a survey they are doing on this matter.

Before going any further I must stress that this is a US-only campaign. They are looking for 10,000 US residents age 18 and over who buy either alternative milk products (e.g., organic, soy, rice, lactose-free, etc.) or creamers at least 4 times per year. If this applies to you and you are interested in taking the survey simply Click Here

Even though this may not apply to you perhaps a family friend or member would be interested and you could let them know that it exists. A tweet would definitely let a lot of others know that this survey exists and I’m sure there would be many willing participants.

I’m not sure if the survey has anything to do with lactose intolerance or if they are just trying to gauge the extent that American drink alternative milk products, so if you do decide to take the survey I, and I’m sure many of the readers, would be more than interested in what it was all about.

Promoting MyDomain Brand Me Contest.

I’m not one for running contests, probably because the ones I have run have failed miserably but I do like to promote those that I feel some of my readers will appreciate. This contest is run by MyDomain and it’s all about Your Domain!

From what I can gather it’s all about promoting your domain. It’s open to all US residents and the prizes are $1000 Apple gift cards. Naturally there has to be something in it for MyDomains, and that something is exposure of the .ME extension for domain names. This is great for those who are thinking of a particular domain only to find that it’s been taken by somebody else. So if yourdomain.com is not available why not go for yourdomain.me before someone else takes it?
