What’s Crap and Not Review

Under the popular brand Rogaine, Minoxidil came to being a vasodilator and originally was exclusively used as an oral drug (Loniten®) to treat high blood pressure. It eventually was discovered to have the beneficial side effect on hair growth and reversing hair loss.

Upjohn Corporation produced a topical solution that contained 2% minoxidil to reverse baldness and hair loss, under the brand name Rogaine in the United States, and Regaine outside the United States. Treatments offer a 5% concentration elixir designed for men, and a 2% concentration solutions are designed for women. Currently, it is unknown how the drug stimulates hair growth.

What exactly is in it? Minoxidil, chemically is “potassium channel agonist.” Derived from the chemical structure of Nitric oxide (NO), a blood vessel dilator, is a nitric oxide agonist. This may explain Minoxidil’s ability to stimulate hair growth and treat hair loss. Minoxidil may also act via release of Guanylate cyclase, an enzyme connected to vasodilation. Continue Reading »

RSS

The traditional method of pushing products down the pipeline is trimedia. That’s TV, Print and Radio for the uninformed. While the reach of trimedia is vast, it’s also expensive. And for the web entrepreneurs like myself, it’s useless. Marketing on the web demands different avenues like

Link Exchange
Forumming
Banner Swap..

etc etc etc.

Thing is, people are now getting immune to banners, ads and links. I myself subconsciously filter them out!

So how can one market a product?

I just stumbled across a sublime secret. It’s gotten me gigabytes of traffic a day, with conversion rates of as high as 12%!! In my industry, 3% is the norm.

Let me introduce you to one of the best resources on the topic. RSS Marketing. Continue Reading »
RSS Marketing Review

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. Continue Reading »

SEOBlogBuilder Review

Now here’s blogging crap of the highest level, and it’s only for the lazy.

We all know that blogging is a personal thing. The writer posts his innermost thoughts irrespective of whether he makes a buck out of it. I like these guys.

Now some folks decide that monetizing a blog could help pay the hosting bills. Well and good. No quarrel with them no matter how many Adsense, Clickbank and affiliate ads they clutter the site with. I do that myself.

But it gets BAD and HORRIBLE when bloggers get lazy and so enlist the services of “automatic blogging machines” that simply pull in all manner of keyword-rich rss feeds into a blog on some predetermined basis. That’s when the blog loses its soul and resembles a mindless zombie.

It gets worse. You spend hundreds of dollars in exchange for the promise of thousands in adsense revenue.But you don’t get any. Why? Your site spews out garbage! Who’d want to read a blog full of automated content?? And there’s a small chance your blog might even be banned for duplicate content.

Have you already been bullwhipped?

Here’s a sample site made by such software:

The creators of this Frankenstein promise “unique posts” and “customized content” and I wondered bout until I stumbled onto the first screenshot on this SEOBlogBuilder page:

http://www.seoblogbuilder.com/index.php

The screenshot is titled Multiple Backlinks In a Single Post, and as your scrollbar flies, it’s about 1/9th of the way down the page.

WELL DUH????

They call this post “perfectly readable” and “human friendly.”

Take a look again at the garbage such software spouts out:

No matter how greedy I am, I would be ashamed of myself if I fouled up internet real estate with such crap just to get backlinks.

Folks, keep blogging true to its soul. Post original content. Do it naturally: from your mind and not from some idiot software.

The staff raves over it!

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

TorPark Browser Review
Think you’re really safe while online? Think again. Everytime you visit a website, ISPs, admins and nefarious marketers are tracking you. You leave a virtual cookie trail everywhere you go.

The next day, it hits: spam, viruses, trogans, worms. All courtesy of your high visibility.

Enter the solution: anonymizers. These programs mask your trail and encrypt your online presence so marketers will have a hard time trracking your surfing habits. They work, but they’re costly. Guardster and Anonymizer rank among the most popular but can be slow. The fees they charge aren’t friendly either.

How about a free solution?

Welcome to the TorPark Browser:

Here’s what fans say.

An international group of computer security experts and human rights workers has released an anonymous, fully portable web browser based on Mozilla Firefox.

The Torpark browser comes pre-configured and requires no installation. It runs off a USB memory stick, and claims to leave no tracks behind on the browser or computer.

Hacktivismo, the organisation behind the project, said that Torpark is a highly modified variant of Portable Firefox that uses The Onion Router (Tor) network to create an anonymous connection between the user and the websites being visited.

Typically, when a user logs onto the internet, a unique IP address is assigned to manage the computer’s identity. Each website the user visits can see and log the user’s IP address.

Hostile governments and data thieves can monitor this interaction to correlate activity and pinpoint a user’s identity.

But the Tor network causes the IP address seen by the website to change every few minutes to frustrate eavesdropping and mask the requesting source.

Furthermore, the data passing from the user’s computer into the Tor network is encrypted.

Therefore, the user’s ISP cannot see the information passing through the Torpark browser, such as the websites visited, or posts the user might have made to a forum. The ISP can only see an encrypted connection to the Tor network.

I downloaded it and found myself duly impressed. The software runs off a USB drive, allowing you privacy wherever you go. Even at the internet cafe.

Say goodbye to lurking spammers and marketers. You’ll be protected for life. Plus it’s free.

Downside? If you don’t mind slllooooow surfing then you’re good to go. Due to the rerouting of traffic, your DSL access behaves like a 56K connection.
