Bahh, it is only the beggining of the week but i feel like it was the end of it… im tired, im sleepy…. how could a day of work let me like this??? damn it…

It is accumulating… i need vacation. I need to dedicate myself to blogging to stress out (yes, blogging keeps the stress away :)), to do projects that are left behind… if all goes well i will manage to do this in a couple of weeks….

Anyway, remember my post regarding Ian, that was selling is life? Well, it turns out that the selling value didn’t reach the values i expected but still, a decent amount was made - AU 399,300 USD. Some of the biggest bids were cancelled. You don’t imagine the amount of bids that were cancelled saying that made a mistake bidding… lol

Now, the auction has ended, and Ian walked out of his ex-house with only his wallet, the next step is ready to be made…. Guess what is it?

Have you checked it out? Crazy right? Total freedom. Hehe…

Good luck Ian!

Ok, it is the end of the month (it seems that time fly’s) and as usual i will show you the list of the top commentators. They benefit from some link juice from commenting and a link in all pages for being the top commentators, besides a mention in a post!

So ere are the top commentators for June:

• Agent 001 (20)
• Jim (6)
• BloggerOfTheWeb (6)
• Gadget (5)
• Nelson (5)

Keep commenting

Btw, this is a dofollow blog, some months ago i said i was considering taking out the dofollow from comments, and only let the top commentators as dofollow. And i have been thinking about it regularly, and it seems that bloggers are changing towards nofollow blogs

Again, im considering it, but considering it slowly…. :p

I have been using this week, a software called Comment Sniper. It is one of the best software that i have downloaded lately.

What is Comment Sniper?

Comment Sniper is a free software that allows it’s user to keep track of new posts of your favourite blogs. You just add the desired blogs to the tracking list (i have around 10 so far), choose the scanning interval (i use 5 minutes), and the software will alert you with a small popup on your lower right screen corner, every time it detects a new post on any of the blogs you added to the list.

With the scan interval i choose, i will be able to read the post and comment few minutes later after the post publication, increasing my chances to be the first to comment.

How can this help me?

Well, being the first to comment will help increase your blog visitors. Usually, visitors read the post and the first comments, and sometimes (if not often) the reader will click your link to check your blog. This way, you can bring quality visitors to your blog. Off course, your comments need to be relevant to the post and with some quality, “nice post” kind of comments won’t help you bring visitors.

(just a quick note: while i was writing this post, a new comment sniper alert popped up, and again im the first guy to have a comment on a new post )

But being the first to comment and increase site visitors is not the only advantage of this software. With time and continuous posting, it will help you increase your search rankings.

I totally recommend this tool, and if you want to try just download it, and don’t worry, i know you love this blog, so the software comes with this blog already subscribed for new post alerts by default :p

Lately, there has been some buzz on sites using WidgetBucks on non-English sites. In their terms thay say that you can only use WB on sites other than English if ou ask for permission. Many people (including me) haven’t paid attention to this and have been using on non english sites.

I wrote an email a couple of days asking for permition, and today i received the answer, and has i expected, i don’t have permission to use on a non english site, in this case, it was a portuguese forum.

Here it is the mail they sent to me:

That’s to bad for me because the ads on my portuguese forum were doing good. SO i have decided to create an english targeted for these kind of ads and for US traffic.

The site is http://www.home-shopping-network.info/ and i hope to have it online next week.
