Today I found a great piece of advice regarding your computer. Does your computer take forever to start up? Mine does for several reasons. But the main reason is I have to many programs launching at start up. 90% of them I do not need on start up.
It turns out the default setting for most programs on installation set them to start on start up. So how can you fix this with out trying to go to all the programs you can think of and try to turn this feature off?
Here is the simple solution:
Click Start > Run and type “msconfig” at the prompt. Click the Startup tab and look at all that junk that loads when you launch your PC. Do you really need “Adobe Reader Speed Launch”? Probably not. Turn off anything else that looks useless, but be careful not to disable Windows system components.
Thank you Yahoo answers!! This is a great bit of advice.
As with anything computer related be careful you are not disabling something vital to the computer working. So if in doubt leave it alone. This tip now has my system staring up like it did when I first got it.
I have found the best way to make money is to pick something and keep with it. Find something you love and make a business around it. Success comes when you have research, a plan and most important action. Take action. With out action it’s just a dream.
No one makes $100,000 a year by buying a tape set and working three hours a week. The secret is no secret at all; work hard, save and don’t go into debt.
Have you heard of PlentyofFish.com? Maybe not but this site is run by one person and gets a huge amount of traffic. He competes with the largest dating websites and beats them. A Google AdSense inspiration. Check out this interview I found on youtube:
i found this post on John Chow’s blog via Digg today. He shows how much a link on the major tech sites would cost you.
Here are some samples:
Engadget – $11,440
Gizmodo – $11,440
Others like Digg or Slashdot you can’t even put a price tag on. Head over to John’s website to see the whole post…
Not all links are worth the same. Links from big sites with high Page Rank are worth far more than smaller sites with low Page Rank. So how much is a link worth?
So after I posted about the new google smash up called searchmash the site stopped working. For every search I did I got an error. See the image below. Search Mash
Also a side note. After my post a real person from Google visited my site. I confirmed in my logs it was not a bot. Strange?
I must say I was impressed with this product. I am glad I did read it because in the next month I will release my own product and will use many of the ideas set forth in the Manuscript for my product. The e-book has lots of good stuff around product launches and maximizing sales on up sells.
This book is not focused on the absolute newbie but still if you have done any affiliate marketing online you fill find this worth having in your tool box.
Again I will use many of the principles Mike has in his book for my upcoming launch. I will do another update to let you know how it went.
Is it Diet Google? Check out the new google search site called SearchMash which is with out google branding and ads? I have only used it a couple of times so I will have more info at a later date.
Until then fell free to read this short article on Cnet and check the search engine for yourself. Links to the story below.
Google has created a search site without any Google branding to test new features. The site, SearchMash, has a simple blue and white interface with a search bar and an option to click on “popular searches.” Once keywords are entered, the results page features links to results running down the left side of the page and the top three image results on the right side.
How many of you are sick of all the spam you get on your blog? Ok, stupid question I know. Well I just check my database using phpmyadmin and found I had over 16,000 spam comments waiting for moderation on one of my blogs!
So I tried to find a plugin to handle a mass delete for wordpress 1.5 but nothing seemed to work. So I went old school, logged into phpmyadmin went to the comments table and added this line:
DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = “0″;
66 seconds later all 16,000 spam comments where gone! I was more than happy. I checked my blog and for what ever reason it seemed to run much faster? Not sure if there is any correlation?
I am sure there are some really good plugins for wordpress 2.0 and beyond but if you want to get it done quick and dirty this way worked fro me.
Time and time again it has been proven that millionaires follow very simple financial rules that produce results. I follow Liz Pulliam and found this article posted today. I my self have adopted all the habits on her millionaire list.
