Globat Web Hosting
Globat has joined the trend of web hosts offering it all - unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited domains, and the works. However, there are some restrictions that you will find when you read the fine print. (1) You cannot use your webspace for storage; all your files must be used for your website. (2) You cannot have any scripts that are inefficient and use “too much” bandwidth.
Having these restrictions gives a lot of power to Globat. However, our research shows that Globat only exercises their restrictions when you really are doing something wrong. If you are the average website owner with the occasional “Web 2.0 Effect”, you should be fine using Globat for all your websites.
You Can’t Beat The Price!
It’s free, really. Free year of web hosting and free setup. We had to reach deep into the archives to find this promotion. Globat set up this promotion after purchasing pixels at the infamous MillionDollarHompeage. At the time however, they did not offer free setup. In essence, the whole ‘free hosting for a year’ campaign was more of a campaign to get you with the setup fees. They have however now waived the setup fee, which makes this deal REALLY HOT! Purchase now before it’s too late!

You Only Have 4 Hours and 50 Minutes Left!
And so do we, and we did 4 hours and 50 minutes ago. Just as a common courtesy, we just want to let you know that the offer countdown is fake. This was probably obvious for most but we figured that it might do some good for others who might have been tricked. This offer is available for a limited time, but not this limited.
It is very rare for Godaddy (or any domain registrar for that matter) to have such a great deal on .com domains.
To not waste any more time, I’m going to make this post short.

Buy your domains quick because this coupon may expire at any time!
Social Networks such as Digg, StumbleUpon and Reddit can give your website MILLIONS of visitors!
Is there a market for this? You bet! In fact, a guy charges $1,200 to get your story on front page and he doesn’t even make any promises! There is also SocialElves, a sponsor of ours, that charges $300 and promises 200 Diggs. But even $300 may be a lot of money to put down for some people. That is why it is important to use all the free resources at your disposal to beat these social bookmarking giants yourself.
1. Networking
Social bookmarking websites are of the people, by the people, for the people, and shall be abused by those same people. Go out and meet people that use social bookmarking sites. Considering the size of them, it shouldn’t be too hard. Go to forums, friends, and… the actual websites themselves! Most like Digg give users the opportunity to list their instant messenger information.
Here’s your first contact - me!
AIM: melensupport
MSN: mmelen2k[at]yahoo.com
Email: mike[at]melen.net
I won’t vote for any garbage articles, but when in doubt, send them to me anyway! And I would expect the same for you. Now you just need about 100 more contacts and you can get on top of any social bookmarking website you wish!
2. Communities and Automated Systems
- http://www.digg4free.com offers you one free Digg. All you need to do is enter the Digg URL and their website does the rest!
- http://piqqus.com is an automated social trading system. They currently support Digg, StumbleUpon, and Propeller. You build up credits by voting for others stories and you get the favor returned.
- http://firestormforum.com is a forum for social trading. You can exchange anything from Blogging Zoom to Entrecards to Comments.
3. Beg For Votes!

When desperate, you can always beg for votes! And DIGG IT!
In all seriousness, there is a lot of potential in social bookmarking. You need to build connections and probably more importantly, have good content to promote. There are dozens of groups and other resources out there just a Google away.

No one visiting your site nowadays? Boost Your Traffic With THOUSANDS of FREE Visitors just by joining autosurf programs. What are autosurf programs? Autosurf programs are an automatic way of exchanging traffic. You run the script through your browser that automatically (or sometimes manually…) visit websites for you. In exchange, you get other members to see your website. It’s like a cheap StumbleUpon for website owners.
Some of these programs offer traffic incentives just for signing up.
Here are a few with their prospective traffic signup bonus:
http://www.trafficswarm.com/ : 100
http://www.fastcreeper.com : 3,000
http://www.ispeedsurf.com : 3,000
http://tx.ibi4u.eu/ : 10,000
http://www.24sevenhits.com : 1,540

http://www.breedtraffic.com/ : 5,000
http://topsurfer.com/ : 4,000
http://www.bizbla.com/ : 5,000
Please note that some of these programs are currently not big enough to even deliver the free bonus traffic they promise you. It won’t hurt to sign up anyway and slowly get the promised traffic to your website(s). If you are actually thinking about using a program such as this, check out TrafficSwarm first since it’s by far the largest.

Website icons can spice up your website. Unfortunately, they can get very pricey. The largest website icon distributor, IconShock, sells icons for hundreds of dollars. Although it may be worth every penny, it may not fit into every web designer’s budget.
There are however many websites that give out free icons. Just like template sites, these icon sites expect some webmasters to link them back. There are many sites that give out free icons. In fact, too many to list. Good thing that WebsiteIcons.net lists them for us. Visit their website to preview thousands of free icons, all cleverly organized into categories.
These icons are of high quality and can really help out a website. An example of a good use of these icons: Myspace Gateway.
Check out these free website icons and comment this post if you used one on your website!
Summary
Business Plan
600GB Disk Space
6000 GB of Bandwidth
Host 50 Domains
$19.99 / Month
Use coupon code: HERO20OFF
Total Price: $0.00
Browsing through web hosts for a while now, it was refreshing to see HostDime. Practically all other web hosts: one $4.95/month advertisement on the front page only to see it available with the 2 year plan. The price for 1 month? $14.95 plus a $40 setup fee.
I come to HostDime and see that they actually have different hosting plans. I was interested in purchasing Shared Website Hosting and click to do so. There are 5 plans ranging from Deluxe at $9.00/month to Max at $25.00/month. I was surprised to see such high prices and figured that the Deluxe $9.00 plan would jump to at least $30 when purchasing on a monthly basis. To my amazement, the plan actually costs $9.00/month! No setup fees or ridiculously high fees.
Their payment system is also a little different than other hosts. You start by paying for the rest of the remaining month. Attempting this on the 9th of the month, the $9.00 plan for me was $6.68. Paypal is accepted is a method of payment.
So what’s the bargain deal here? We found a coupon that gives $20 off!
Use coupon code: HERO20OFF
Use that coupon to get up to $20 off! To get the best deal, choose the Business plan at the beginning of the month. This will give you the best full month of hosting possible. Or, you can always get a Reseller Hosting Plan mid-month for free.
Get this deal because this coupon won’t work for much longer!!!

MagicTrafficBot promises to “explode” your website traffic by targeting counters. The program crawls through websites using your referral link. Then when the webmaster looks at his referral statistics, he sees your site and goes to it. That may be just 1 visitors, but do that for thousands of websites, and you got yourself some nice traffic. Plus, don’t forget those websites that publish their referrals. Now you got yourself some outside traffic and even some backlinks.
Their sales pitch makes some nice points and makes you consider purchasing for $29.99. After all, you get resale rights and can probably make that back from selling it on forums, right? Wrong. This program is very simple to make. Simple enough to actually be given out for free. Shameless Traffic gives out its own version for free called Referer Crawl. The name may not be as impressive as Magic Traffic Bot and may even have a typo, but the software is the same.
I downloaded the program and decided to give it a try. I was happy to see that I can actually open up several of these programs so I was able to target different websites. Websites are targeted by keyword and it starts crawling via a simple Google search. I first tried this for our advertising via forums service, InForum Advertising. I created a page to be displayed on the referrals and put its own counter on it.
I even had a clever message on it:
“You Have Been Brought Here…
Because someone from InForum Advertising Staff went to your website.
That means that we think your website or blog would be perfect for InForum Advertising.”
I thought I was set. Sit back and watch the sales come! Number of visitors after running 3 of these programs for 1 hour: 0.
I glanced at the websites that it was crawling through and figured why I had such bad results. Who from w3.org or google webmaster tools would look at their stats and see 1 visitor from me? I was feeling a little hopeless, but I decided to give this program another try. I targeted a much more specific niche, paid forum posting with http://www.paidpostingreviews.com. Paid posting services would see my referral, check out the site, and purchase a listing for their service. I ran the program for an hour and checked my stats the next day.

http://www.just199.com:2082/awstats.pl?config=just199.net&ssl=&lang=en&framename
Yes, I received 2 visitors from this. Does this program work? Yes. Does it maybe need some tuning? Yes. But it’s free some try it for yourself. You may have more luck in it then me. Also, be sure to check out Shameless Traffic’s other products: Orkut Poster, Mininova Poster, PirateBay Poster, YouTube Poster, Flickr Poster. These products have had amazing reviews and at only $5 each, you can’t find a better deal.

Paid Forum Posting is a great way to launch a forum. Extra forum posting brings in content and activity which makes the forum more attractive to join. Forum Posting Services can however put a nice dent in your budget so we went out to find the best deals on paid forum posting.
Get A Freelance Poster. You can easily get a freelance poster at the marketplace of many webmaster forums such as DigitalPoint. Although this may be the cheapest solution, you are often stuck with posters that can’t even write a sentence.
Take Advantage Of Trials. Paid Forum Posting services offer trial runs to entice you to purchase their larger plans later on. Not only are the plans usually cheaper, but they are probably better quality since they are selling their brand to you.
Use PostingDirect And Make Your Own Prices! Setting up an account on PostingDirect costs money. The cheapest price is $34 and that’s only if you go through their case study page: http://www.postingdirect.com/casestudy. Besides the setup fee however, PostingDirect is the cheapest option. You can set your own posting rates, starting at $.08/post. There are hundreds of posters in their system so you won’t have to worry about having a too specific forum niche. You can also make posters post as low as 10 posts each. This boosts up your member count for no additional price. Visit PostingDirect Paid Forum Posting and remember to put in the code “casestudy”.
