Garry Conn is running a contest sponsored by PepperJam Networks.

The first twenty five bloggers that set up a PepperJam Store on any website of your choice, wins $10.00 and gets a chance at $100 prize for most creative.

Check it out.

Just a quick post to tell readers of LinkMoney that there is a new contest being run online at mrjavo.com.

There are many prizes and there looks like a good chance that many of you will get lucky.

On another matter, WordPress 2.6.3 is out and we all have to upgrade, again.  Jeesh, I wish there really was an automatic upgrade plugin that was really automatic, with out having to click here, click here, download this, download that, click here…   blahh blahh  blah.

What the hell is automatic about that?  Now in a few days we will have to do it all over again with 2.7.

I still love WordPress, just frustrated.

Use Free, Creative Commons, Images from flickr and find selection by color scheme.  This is the easiest way to select Free Photos Online.

This information was found by commenting on a post by Ann Smarty at Search Engine Journal. and one of the readers, Leila Boujnane of ideeinc, commented back about this excellent resource.  What a find.
Here is the link to ideeinc.

I have been going nuts and wasting hour upon hour searching for photos and images to use in various website posts, only to find excellent ones and then finding out that they were copyrighted or restricted.

I have had good luck in sending a request to the owner and in each case they all have answered back that it was fine to use the image but they wanted credit, which I gave of course.

You’ve done this for sure.  One problem is that usually a couple or more days have passed since you found the image and by then you have worked on a thousand other things and when the email came in giving permission to use the copyrighted image, you can no longer remember exactly where you had found it.

That all changes now.  With this fantastic search tool from ideeinc.com they search “only” Creative Commons images and you get to search by color scheme.  There is a color chart on the right and you click on the colors you want  to use and you can select up to ten colors.

As you click on each color the tapestry screen full of images keeps changing to reflect your choice.  You can select a color more than once if you desire to emphasize one certain color.  After you get through choosing the 10 colors you now have choices galore to select from and all of these images are free to use with no restrictions!

From the ideeinc home page there is also another method to search by subject matter but I have not tried that yet.

The images you see in this post are just a few from the hundreds available that I selected in just a couple of minutes by using the base color theme of this LinkMoney dot org website.

All I did to use them in this post was to download them all to a folder, then I opened each one in photoshop and resized them all to 300 px wide and re-saved them, then uploaded them to this post.  Easy as 1, 2, 3.

Use your imagination and think about projects that you have been planning for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas

[ ps: Make sure you subscribe to this Blog for more great ideas ! ]

Here is a new social networking site, Echodemic dot com, that allows you to cross-post your Blog articles and have them voted (echoed) on.

Echodemic dot com is in Beta and by the number of Blog posts it must have just started recently. It is sort of a DIGG like experience except that you post your whole article on their site and their readers and members get to read it and give it an “Echo” vote.

The articles that receive the most echoes move to the front page of Echodemic and you will get interested parties coming back to your website to see what else you have to offer.

This could be a great free traffic generator and will bring the type of visitor that is interested in what you have to say.

I just posted my first article and it does not have any echoes yet, but it should be fairly easy to move to the front page because it is so new that the highest echo count for most of the “best of” are only around seven (now 15) echoes or so.

I would really appreciate it if you readers of this Blog would go there and check it out. Click on the tab for “Most recent” posts and find mine that is titled “The Niche Doctor Cures WordPress Code,” and give it an “Echo.” I did alter the text a tiny bit from my Blog post of the same subject, but I don’t know if that is really necessary or not.

If you want to keep track of my posts, my user name is “linkmoneydotorg.”

Thanks much and you will no doubt want to register and become an Echodemic.com member also.

Everything is FREE of course.

This is a quick post to tell you all about how the Niche Doctor is curing my Blog Code HTML.

The Niche Doctor Starter Kit, and The Niche Doctor Park Page Theme:
The two products announced on Garry Conn’s Blog that are being provided by the Niche Doctor are worth their weight in gold!

Garry knows WordPress inside and out.  He teamed up with the master cyber coder, David Cooley to bring you two fantastic tools that will make you money, absolutely!

When I read the announcement two days ago I immediately purchased both the “Niche Doctor Starter Kit” and the “Niche Doctor Park Page Theme” for WordPress.

The reason I bought the Park Page Theme was because I have many dozens of domains that I bought over the past year, some of which were great ideas at the time, but now that I know more, not so good.  You’ve all done the same thing, I’m sure.

NameDrive Free Parking:
I thought about parking some of these unused domains at GD (you know what GD really stands for right?,) GoDaddy, but the bas***ds want 10 bucks a month.  Then I found out about NameDrive and parked a dozen of them there about three months ago because it is free, and if there is any advertising revenue generated you get a share of it.

Well forget that.  Three months and not one cent of advertising revenue.  So with the Niche Doctor Park Page Theme you can have your domain up and running with a keyword pumping minimum blog code html design and then you can put some AdSense on and then see what happens.

Keep Unused Domains, or Not:
When it gets near renewal time you can decide to either let the domain go, or you can sell it if it looks promising, or you can develop it if it looks real good.  This is a GREAT idea!

The Niche Doctor Starter Kit for WordPress:
So that is what the theme will do but other than testing it out on one website I can not put this Niche Doctor Starter Kit book down.  I have learned more in two days than I had in almost a year as far as how to fix my HTML code.  The instructions that Dave and Garry give on how to optimize your Blog for the search engine bots and also for human consumption are just superb!

One client that I do some website management for is blown away.  I brought his five year old broken website up to modern times about four moths ago, and then added a Blog.  Then I have been tweaking things and trying to get him to come to the front of the pack in G-serps. We went from total obsurity four months ago to #215 +/- about two weeks ago, where it has been hovering.

Once I inserted two adjustments that I learned in the Niche Doctor Starter Kit prescription, I brought that client site up to Number 3 in Google for his keyword/money words in less than 24 hours!  Yikes!

The Niche Doctor will cure your Blog Code HTML.

You Should Purchase These:

Now what I want you to do is to
click on these two buttons to make a whole LOT of money!

The Niche Doctor Park Page:

The Niche Doctor Starter Kit:

Yes I will get a little referral commission, but you will start making your next fortune by using these two products.

You will thank me, I know.
