Mammoth post from BluehatSEO

Well Eli over at bluehatseo has promised for weeks on his blofg that he was working on a big post, and he hasn't disappointed...its like Lord of the rings ;)

Haven't had a moment to digest it all yet, (there's a LOT) but what i have read so far is interesting and looks like manna from heaven in terms of linkbait! Basically the gist is that he's gonna explain over a few episodes how to build a kinda grey/blackhat SEO site empire...

So go have a read!

Edit multiple myspace profiles

Visit Profile Author for a free download of their software to edit your myspace profile. Much easier than trying to create a masterpiece via the myspace site editing tool!

The software allows the editing of any myspace profile page you have login details for, so i you have more than one account it is a quick easy way to edit your page and customise it with the latest codes or bling. I found it very easy to use, but do bear in mind you ned some small understanding of html to use codes/customise your profile fully. If you don't remember to your tags, your lovely new design will look like a bag of roadkill :)

If editing myspace profiles is your favourite passtime, you need this!! :)

Rip and download video from youtube

A few weeks ago i watched a music video on youtube...went back to watch it again yesterday, only to discover its been taken down by the copyright police :( which got me to thinking...sometimes it would be handy to be able to download the video when i found it, to avoid such crap...same thing happens all the time with movie trailers as well.

Anyway, i found vidgrabbr.com which has proved jolly useful! Real nice clean design, the easiest thing ever to use :)
All you do is paste in the url of the page the video you want is on (you can do youtube, dailymotion, and a few others as well), hit go and the video is ripped out of the page and downloaded to your PC right there and then.

Do bear in mind that most video is .flv, so it won't play in media player or much else - so you'll need a converter of some sort. I downloaded a copy of youtube robot from vidgrabbr, which i find great - you can download video from the software itself, and convert to a variety of filetypes suitable for pc or mobile devices such as your ipod or mobile phone! Marvellous :)

Have a look for yourself, the software can be downloaded straight way in trial mode and used for 30 days free! the site itself can be used for ever, for free :)

Useful way to send files to your phone

fileto.mobi does just what it says on the tin - its an easy way to send files like pictures, video, ringtones or music to your mobile phone.

Free, and no sign up with no requirements other than a wap enabled mobile device, all you do is upload a file from your PC and then retrieve it with a unique code via the wap browser on the mobile device you wish to send the file to. Simple and effective, all done in a matter of seconds, with no hassle, cables, software to install, drivers or any other rubbish.

Nicely designed with tableless CSS. Have a look now, and start getting your favourite files to your phone easily! Cool domain name as well :)

Really nice new UK forum

Ran across chatbuzz.co.uk today, and liked it - its a new forum for the discussion of anything and everything...if there isn't an applicable category just email the owners and they'll add one!

Liked the really clean design, seems much nicer than most of the phpBB etc powered forums out there...its modern looking, simple and tableless with various bits of ajax functionaility. You can post pictures, links and embed video in your posts as well.

Make money from web domain names

I have a lot of parked domains that i have accumulated over the years, as i'm sure a lot of people do. Its been on my mind lately how i can monetize them, or at least get them to pay their own registration fees each year! To that end, i have had a bit of a search around and came up with a couple of useful reults.

First off, over at business and life there is a list of useful links for making some money out of your domain names, so have a look at that.

Secondly, i found this a very handy php script that you can install on your parked domain in seconds, and have your own parked, monetized domain running in a couple of minutes tops - and they look so much better than the usual parked page.

Web address shortening tool

Had a need a few days ago to shorten a few really long web addresses so i could send someone links in an SMS and found this free url shortener .

Not particularly remarkable from a design point of view, but incredibly clean and simple, and uses ajax to aoid page re-loads. What i really liked about this is the fact that you can add a custom tag to the shortened url...making it a lot more relevant and memorable than the usual collection of random numbers/letters used by most shortening and redirect services.

Go have a look for yourself, a really useful little free tool that is well worth bookmarking!

Really funny insult website

Found this the other week, its a really funny insult generator website, probably the nicest designed one of its type i've found...even uses ajax so the page doesn't reload, so quite clever from a geeky point of view as well - its quite addictive, and you find yourself repeatedly pressing the generate button to see what it churns out next :)

Gave me 30 minutes of amusement anyway, and some wonderfully rude new insults that i've already put to good use :) Check it out and start your day with some great new insults that will impress and astound your friends, family and co-workers! :) lol
