I’m surprised that many webmasters still put a great deal of importance on “Alexa Rank.” For those not in the know, alexa rank is a number that the SE assigns to your site.
The lower the number, the “higher” your popularity. A site with 200,000 ranking is considered average. Those with over 800,000 might as well go home.
You’re a big shot once you hit the 1 to 100,000 mark.
This leads to the problem of less than honest business men selling Alexa Boosters Continue Reading »
Alexa “Boosters” – Crud of the Month – January
The Sauna Belt joins a long line of crap products that claim to sweat away unwanted fat, eliminate cellulite, lose weight and ease muscle pain, all while sitting in the comfort of your own home. How does it work? The Velform Sauna Belt focuses the sauna heat on problematic body parts to ‘help’ flush out and eliminate toxins. Wait, there’s more! This portable sauna belt is great for the abdomen, waist, back and hips. Just apply the Velform Sauna Belt around the chosen body part and let the belt do all the work.
If it works as its operating principles claim, then harried housewives should be thin as supermodels after all, they’re hunched over hot dryers, hot stoves and hot gardens all day. Continue Reading »
Sauna Belt Velform
In the tradition of JUNK like the Turbo Stormy, the Eco-Tek and the Turbo-Zet comes the newest miracle gas saver that lightens your wallet and actually increases total cost of ownership!
THE KHAOZ
The Khaoz is an air-bleed device, created in the 70s by Pablo Planas from the Philippines. Air-bleed devices are by no means new. Companies have been peddling crap like this for years and promising whopping 50% gas savings!
Despite some attempts at pseudo science, the operating principle of the KSTC is clear. It contains a regulating valve and also a spring-loaded (vacuum-operated) valve, which in combination allow variable air to flow through the gadget and into the engine. This khaoz bled air does not pass through the carburetor, so it introduces less fuel, and the overall effect is a leaner air/fuel mixture. Continue Reading »
Khaoz Super TurboCharger Review
We just got a barrage of requests to post a review on an allegedly compelling scam. Instead of writing the review, we are posting verbatim a suggested review from Scam.com as well as a link to the forum that discusses this problem.
I drive a naturally aspirated Type R, EK Chassis. Despite being a 99 model, it still looks good and leaves the pedestrian Fords choking on my dust.
My friends- the racing types – have been bugging me for years to upgrade my trusty TypeR, at least with a Simota Air Filter. They know I’m loathe to tamper my engine and stuff (hey, won’t that be a slap to Honda Engineers), but they promise me instant seat of the pants gratification. A simota supposedly de-restricts airflow and improves HP and engine efficiency.
Bottomline is, I get to leave more guys choking on my fumes. I decided to invest the $200. Did it work?
I obtained this unit 5 months ago… and suddently, the remote failed.Customer support replied was that there is no solution as it’s solid state technology. Now they suggested to call them back in a few months to request an available remote. How’s that for utterly poor service
Additional concerns: the unit’s front panel is sparsely populated. Barely any controls to run the DVDs! Imagine, what DVD does not have a forward and reverse control? Without the remote, you can’t watch a thing on this DVD!
JUNK
I positively drooled when Pantene models sashay on screen with those flowing glossy locks. So soft… so fragrant….so radiant!
Imagine what that could do for me and my girl! We’d stroll the mall with shiny manes. Picturing the envious stares of the frizzy haired would be such a pleasure.
Here’s Elain Heng- Pantene Image Model. Think that’s real hair???
Alas.. it remains a dream. The shampoo companies stabbed at my credit card for all its got in exchange for bottled crap of all shapes and sizes (and prices). Dry formula, damage formula, gleam formula, even dandruff-and-flea formula… I’ve tried them all. So has my girl. Nothing works. No magic. We never resemble the godesses of Mt. Pantene. Till today I wear a fuzzball mop on my head.
$5,000 poorer and years after my first bottle of Pantene, Palmolive, et al, I came to a conclusion: The shampoo industry sells sweet promises to the vain. But I feel no one will ever look like those models, even if one swims in a vat of Pantene ProV all day.
Want great hair? Ditch Pantene and fire up the blow drier.
Ewater Water Vitalizer
Here’s something a cousin purchased, measured and found wanting.
Sold for $400+, it’s a glorified blender that proferred zero tangible results to my poor kinsman.
They claim a lot for your $400:
