Oz Blog Network On Time For Launch

I'm happy to announce the Oz Blog Network is going to be on time for launch this coming January 1st, 2008. It's been long process of getting all Wordpress modules (plugins) customized for autoblogging. The rewriter is working seamlessly as well, so new bloggers can run the in-house installed Wp-O-Matic and the rewriter all in one shot.

This solves allot of problems for bloggers trying to get their autoblogs working properly. We've even installed a link killer that wipes out outbound links after a day or two. This stops the site from being a "bad link" mess.

Ozblogs.net is using all of the new Wordpress MU advantages and disdvantages to full explotation. Some would say that this is just a home for sploggers, but we're removing feeds from the site whenever asked not to, and we ask for full permission from users before they launch a new feed.

Well.....onward and upward. You can get your own autoblog with built in rewriter running in seconds by signing up here.

Found a New Free and Easy Blog Service [Ozblogs.net]

Found a free and easy blog service where you can blog to your heart's content and you can put your own advertising on the blog.

Most blog services (or Wiki Services) let you use their free service, but they don't let you put your Adsense on the site, and they fill your blog with their advertising. Also, they tend to be down a fair amount. AS WELL, I wanted a blog service that uses the latest SEO tricks to make sure I get some traffic on the site.

After a long look, I found OzBlogs.net. They offer a free and easy blog service where I can put my Adsense advertising on my blog. They've had ZERO down time since I've started too, which is a good sign.

Signing up for their free blog service was easy as you would expect most blog service site to be. There were over 20 good templates to use and NO hidden costs, or ugly advertising all over my posts.

You can check out their free blog sign-up page here.

Best Future Google Page Rank Tool Online

The best future Google page rank (PR) tool I could find on the Internet. Terry Zulit is spot on in my opinion as far a future Google PR tool goes.

Drunk Web Site

This site is staggering by the looks of it. This is a web site all about drunks and people getting drunk. Kinda cool...

Silii Gets Real

Silii.com has long been a gross product blog, which posted 6 automatic posts a day. The posts were mostly camping gear, clocks, and allot of other mundane products. Just an experiment I tried.

The experiment is over, and Silli is now joining the blogging community.

Cosco Wholesale Club Article

Always found the success of Cosco to be wild. Here is a quick article on the Cosco Wholesale Club. Part of the Kei Club over at Zulit.com

Here is some info from the piece.

Cosco Wholesale Club Model of Business
 
Cosco focuses on selling products at low prices, at high volume. These goods are usually bulk, and marketed to large groups and business operations. Furthermore, Cosco doesn't carry multiple brands or varieties where the item is substantially the same. This results in high volume of sales from single vendor, allowing further reduction in price, and reducing marketing costs. Cosco also saves money by not stocking extra bags or packing materials; to carry out their goods, customers must bring their own bags or use the merchandise shipping boxes from the company's outside vendors.

Membership fees at Cosco are 50 dollars a year for Goldstar and Business Memberships, which can be upgraded to Executive membership for an additional 50 dollars a year. Along with the additional benefits the executive membership has (e.g. car purchasing savings, home loans, car insurance, check printing services) executive members also receive an annual "2% Rewards Check" from Cosco on all purchases made (excluding gasoline and tobacco).

The CNN Retirement Calculator

Loan Allot has made it’s opinion crystal clear as to what retirement calculator they recommend. Here is their snippet below. (I get a kick out
of their web site theme……Lancelot/Loanallot…..now that is CHEESE my friends.

I did a little research on retirement calculators, and I have to give the edge to this retirement calculator in particular. This is the CNN retirement calculator.

Here are the instructions they give for using their calculator:

“Our retirement planner helps you estimate how well your savings program is preparing you for retirement. First we help you figure out how much you'll need. Then we tell you your chances of getting there. And if it looks like you'll fall short, we offer some suggestions for improving your plan.” 

Have fun playing with that for awhile. I learned one thing for sure, and that’s that I need to start saving some money in better places if I hope to retire with a pot to piss in.
