Toshiba Qosmio G30 Review

Filed under: Blogging, Reviews, Tech — kingkong @ 11:04 pm

Hey monkeys of all ages, today we bring to you, a review of the New Toshiba Qosmio G30! Qosmio 30 is the Rolls-Royce of laptop packing all of the necessities repackaged into a sleek beautiful design couple with high features! Personally I would love to just have to be able to boast about it, and play the HDDVDs. The laptop on many levels been compared to a stereo component system.

It’s also ridiculously heavy—a throwback to the dawn of portable computing. Tipping the scales at just under 5 kilograms, the G30 can technically be hauled along with you wherever you go, but you might throw your back out if it’s a long trip. Compared to the slender 2.5 kg notebook that’s normally in my bag, I found the G30 to be monstrously heavy. Realistically, it’s a desktop PC that can be packed up and moved quickly in a pinch.

Perhaps the reason it weighs so much is that it’s composed of some of the most advanced portable computer technology in the world, including a gorgeous 17-inch TFT TruBrite widescreen LCD with a 1,900 x 1,200 native resolution, Intel Core Duo processors running at 2.0GHz, a pair of 100GB hard drives, memory expansion modules built to accommodate up to 4GB of RAM (though it only ships with 1GB), and a built-in HD-DVD drive—the first of its kind in a notebook PC, and the primary reason why I requested to borrow a demo model in the first place I was very pleased with the quality of the image but the video was extremely choppy! I doubt it has anything to do with the graphics system maybe something to do with the system configuration and other concurrent processes! :shock:

 

The good:

  • HD DVD drive
  • Digital TV tuner
  • Large, high resolution screen
  • Great raw performance
  • Impressive selection of connectivity options

 

The bad:

  • HD DVD drive is an unjustifiably expensive addition
  • Bulky, even for a desktop replacement
  • Poor battery life

 

The bottomline:

Although the benefit of HD DVD is questionable, the Toshiba Qosmio G30 is still the most feature-rich home entertainment notebook we’ve seen to date. I would let this laptop sleep with my miss kong :mrgreen:

Webmasters: Make Serious Money with TNX.net

Filed under: Make Money Online, ReviewMe, Reviews — Abdalla Ahmed @ 8:40 am
TNX

Forget about TLA (text-link-ads), forget about linkworth, lets all be serious about selling links on every single page we have indexed on search engines, ladies and gentlemen I bring you TNX.net

“TNX.net combines the benefits of Contextual Advertising, Text Link Brokers and Relevant Exchange of permanent non-reciprocal text links.”

TNX came to life when they did a fantastic piece of advertisement on digital point forums where they let the world know of their fantastic free text link ads.

With the help of TNX System you are able to get large amounts of non-reciprocal links from thousands of relevant websites: In just few minutes you can order thousands of links from high quality Internet resources. Links can be placed on main pages as well as on individual, deep pages of websites that either have few other outbond links or no links at all.

Ads/links are placed mostly on easily noticeable spots of the website so they are getting visitor’s attention. With TNX you can promote main page of your website as well as your deep pages.
TNX is not considered a link exchange or broker! You do not have to choose every page you want to place your link at, just choose the amount of links, its quality and link text with keywords. Links will be placed on websites with chosen Google PR, Yahoo Backlinks count and those of chosen Category. If you’re a website publisher, you are able to sell each pages in your website with different PR to the advertisers automatically in their market place. It’s a simple idea, no matter your pagerank you will earn money.

So, if you have a site which has less PR and not able to get into Text-Link-Ads or similar other networks, you can still join TNX.net and earn some revenue. No need to wait for your website to get higher page rank. This could be the difference between making $0 a month or $XXX a month. As part of this review it is only natural for me to check out the system by making an account as an advertiser and as a publisher.

Advertiser:

TNX is free for webmasters who install a TNX code on their websites. In case there is a link sold from the page of your website that has Google PR = 4, you will be getting enough points to purchase up to 800 PR0 links from 800 websites.

You set the anchor text for the links you want to buy with TNX.net which who in turn will search their inventory for pages with your desired characteristics and add your links to those pages. Right now, TNX.net has over 31 million pages in their database, so the selection should be pretty good. With TNX.net, you can get a bunch of links very quickly without having to manually select sites and pages where you want your links. In contrast, you have to manually select sites when buying links at TLA. Because of the way TNX.net sets up its code, search engines cannot track its links. However, other services require its webmasters to upload XML code which can be easily tracked by search engines such as google, remember peoeple getting PR0 for being with payperpost? Furthermore, TNX.net keeps its inventory private while TLA’s inventory is somewhat public (you get screenshots and site name but not URL).

The system seems to be honest a bit difficult to use, perhaps its my dislike for the baby blue color but what I like is the price and value I get for carrying out a little bit of work. Advertising costs are listed here: http://www.tnx.net/price.php (All new members will get a credit, so they don’t have to pay to test out the system)

The main advantage for advertisers is the price of links and the ability to promote hundreds of keywords with just few clicks.

“For as low as 11$ a month you may get up to 10,000 static links to your website.”

For prices as ridicolously low as above you are well on your way to increase traffic and pagerank* which eventually means you can earn a lot more online i.e selling links with TNX.net for higher prices.

Publisher:

Page Rank 0 or not you can still make money online! Yes its considerably lower than higher pageranked websites/blogs but its better than 0 income with TLA and so on. Webmaster can now choose only relevant ads.

You receive payouts monthly either via Check or my recommened method: paypal. TNX also splits the revenue 12.5 to 87.5 instead of 50/50 like other services *cough**cough* TLA *cough**cough

To top off everything, they even have an affiliate program in place to make you earn even more money with their lifetime 13.3% (as long as your account is active) of all TNX-points that are generated by their websites. In addition, you will receive 5% of all payments, made by referred advertiser (this option will work after paypal payments will be automated).

Get yourself thousands of links now and make money online!


Sell links on every page of your site to thousands of advertisers!

* I do not recommend buying links for pagerank to stay in terms with google TOC’s.

Allinanchor.com - Paid “Blogger” Position Anyone??

Filed under: Reviews — Abdalla Ahmed @ 6:39 am

When I first checked out this marketing blog I immediately thought to myself, “yeah, I like this blog”, why? Because of the layout and blog theme which so happens to be the same as my own personal weblog (xaasid.com).

We have really been considering a “featured article” section because this really helps to promote posts which you have really put effort into to stay longer on the frontpage i.e get featured and guess what? AllinAnchor offers this! For the kingkongblog we would use this featured article section to promote posts which have affiliate links and so to help us make money online :twisted: but what AllinAnchor does is to promote the best of their work which in turn helps them draw back visitors and increase their RSS Subscriber base.

The blog as gathered from their “about me” page is dedicated to internet marketing:

allinanchor.com is the Internet marketing blog run by the founder of Active Internet Marketing. Having been in the business of marketing consultation, and marketing on the Internet full time since 2001, we have become… ‘Knowledgable’ in the ways of the Internet.

They offer tips and advice for traffic generation and blog marketing. You can also Expect quality posts on SEO. They seem to also cover whats happening in the world of search engines with news on major companies such as google and yahoo and help on communications. Another thing they talk about is how important brand management is to a business and how it affect your future success which I believe is a major factor to generating revenue online.

Infact as I browse their blog, I notice they are currently hiring writers for their blog - paid postions ofcourse:

Do you have news or tips that you think our readers would want to know? Do you want to learn more about Internet marketing, and need an excuse to do a little more research? We are looking for enthusiastic, well-written, and highly-opinionated contributors to our blog. If this is you, contact me (mmyles at allinanchor.com) and let me know that you are interested in writing an article or two for us…..more

All that is left is for them to promote their blog (which they are doing a good job on as they are paying us for buzz and traffic) and perhaps hold a contest (based on SEO maybe?) to increase their RSS Reader Base.

On that note, visit AllinAnchor Today and get ahead of other blogs in SEO, Brand Management…maybe even get a job to Make Money Online! :twisted:
