AWeber was an obvious choice for me, or anyone who wants to sell affiliate products while they are in the early stages of list building. One of the reasons Aweber has become so popular with many bloggers and small business owners has to do with the flexibility of the platform and list segmentation features.…continue reading…

How to Build Facebook Page Timeline Apps with Lujure

100 Comments / Social Media, Tech / /

During the evolution of Facebook pages, about a year ago, Facebook did away with the FBML tabs and everyone moved over to using to the more popular iFrame tabs. Lujure has a nifty iFrame widget, which is the one everyone “oohed and aahed” over in Amy Porterfield’s webinar (including your’s truly). Lujure’s iFrame app is one of my favorites because you can drag an entire web page right into your Facebook Page with the iFrame. It’s so easy to build an application with the iFrame widget, by simply adding the URL to the wigdet and dragging the frame to fit the page. Sounds super awesome right! You can build a page in less than 60 seconds flat. No kidding and absolutely NO CODING involved…continue reading…

I love Christmas time and I have been publishing articles around the blogosphere hoping my husband will see them and get a few hints. After all anything would be better than the “Bug Zapper” he bought me last Christmas, or the Vege Steamer the time before.

Difference Between Hits, Page Impressions And Unique Visits

115 Comments / Blogging Tutorials, Guest Posts, Tech / /

Sometimes during my daily visit to new forums and blogs, I see people announcing about finally getting thousands of hits per month, giving the impression that their website has become very popular, then I look up at my Alexa toolbar and see that their above 7 million, and with page rank zero, which just doesn’t add up. Everyone knows that Alexa computes traffic rankings based on the amount of people that visit a website while having the Alexa toolbar installed, and while not everyone who visits has the bar installed, it is still weird that their rank is so bad and yet they are giving readers the impression that they are receiving thousands of visits per month by using the term “Hits”.
