It never ceases to amaze me how the technology evolves and the hardware gets more and more compact. Just like the mobile phones a few years ago, they used to be huge with at best 10 functions, and now they are tiny and allow us to connect with the whole world.

Finally, someone thought about making the scanners smaller and more functional as well. We all know how big and heavy they are (up until recently we thought that they cannot be small anyway), taking up a lot of space on our desk and taking them away every time after use is slightly inconvenient due to the weight and size. While we think twice before moving them inside the room, of course taking them with us to work or any other place is not even an option.

Scanshell 3000DN solves this problem. This is a high-speed duplex document scanner, which provides high quality image capture of both sides of the scanned document. Yes, if you scan a document, which has written text from both sides, you need not flip it and scan it twice, it saves you time especially when you scan a big amount of papers at once, or you can just put two pages together and scan from both sides to save the hassle. Scanshell 3000DN is very compact and light, only 475g (17oz) and therefore is easily portable. It’s equipped with high speed USB 2.0 standard interface and requires no external power supply, just like webcam or mouse. Very easy to use with both desktop and mobile, and most important — convenient for “takeaway”.

It’s always great to see when a software manufacturer offers a blog together with the products, so that clients could stay up-to-date. More and more companies do it today and Wizetrade did not stay behind. When visiting The Wizetrade Blog, you will find a lot of interesting material and information about Wizetrade — the powerful stock trading software program, as well as stock research tool used to conduct stock market analysis and quickly chart potential entry and exit signals on any stock symbol.

The blog will allow you to follow along with Wizetrade, and keep you updated with the events, providing pictures, videos, and other interesting information about the securities world.

So many times, on the pages of this blog, I mentioned the importance of quality, and relevant backlinks. These days when Google PageRank is updating, and some of us experience unpleasant results, we realize we need to take the link building in our hands and start working hard towards better traffic from top notch sites and improving our SERP’s, as well as ranking. From my experience, links exchange has a lot of value, but the downside of the process is that links exchange consumes a lot of time, seeking partners for links exchange with relevant websites can take weeks, and overall is not easy.

Today, I found a revolutionary tool — LinksManager Toolbar. Our sponsors from  linksmanager.com kindly provided me with an account so I had time to test it in real time and see all the advantages of this software.

What does it do? Basically it is a small toolbar, that saves you ALL the time and hassle, as you request link exchanges directly to your LinksManager Account from your browser window! No need to search miscellaneous forums for doubtful partners, let alone waste time seeking relevant websites. Since it’s “just” toolbar — it runs without slowing down your system (mine was not slowed down at all). Since everything s monitored, a special checker finds and flags dead links listed on your links pages and temporarily removes them until they become available again.

Search Engine Benefits: The best aspect of Editor Based LinksManager.com  is that the generated pages are static HTML and are W3C valid, with full CSS support. Fully conforms to the Robots Exclusion Standard (robots.txt) and, moreover, editor-based design makes it technically impossible to use LinksManager for spamming, email harvesting or auto-linking.

You can download a 30 days trial version of the toolbar and see for yourself how  incredibly useful LinksManager Link Exchange Toolbar is, no upfront payments or obligations required. If you decide to keep using it after the trial period is over, LinksManager will cost you $19.95 a month, or, alternatively — get one month free service for each user you refer. Managed to refer 12 users? You got one year free.

Platform Limitations: The Toolbar is currently only supported on Internet Explorer and FireFox, running Windows XP or 2000. Vista and Safari are not yet supported, so the minorities would have to wait a bit for now.
Bottom line, it’s a great innovation and I am sure soon will become a popular method for high quality links exchange. Anyone who is willing to invest minimum time in SEO and get maximum benefits and results should definitely consider  LinksManager Toolbar. You can even get help directly from your toolbar!

When it comes to getting a proper design, we — site owners — always look into 2 aspects: price and quality. Ideally, we would want to see high quality and low price, and as unbelievable as it sounds — there are still a few companies today, which are able to provide both of the above.

If you seek maximum value for your low budget, I’d like to introduce you to my friends at Dev3.ro Web Design Services, who do fantastic design at unbelievably low cost. For instance, corporate identity design or SE Optimization would cost you only 50 dollars. Where else would you find such a price? Dev3’s portfolio leaves no doubt about how talented the guys behind this web design service are.

Dev3.ro has already created many big projects and provided various clients around the world with top quality, unique and sleek Web 2.0 design; this includes logos, templates and e-commerce layouts. I strongly recommend their service not only because of their low service fees, but also because of the huge amount of creative ideas they so tastefully put in their design.

Several times I had an idea of starting an e-commerce website, where I could offer something or resell, but every time this idea got crashed, only because I had no proper ecommerce software. While I’d not mind paying for it, within reasonable limits, I’d want to have a god control over the sales and get access to comprehensive statistics, which most, so to speak “reasonably priced” e-commerce shopping carts do not provide. After a long search, the only software I really liked was the Australian AShop.

First of all, they offer a free trial for 10 days, secondly they are relatively (very) cheap and thirdly — they offer more features then you could ever hope for. This includes Google Checkout integration and CVC (Security Code) support, so basically this piece of software does all the work for you. As a part of their promotion, if you purchase their shopping chat software, they will provide you with absolutely free (customized) design for your newly opened eCommerce site. Of all the sites I checked, no one offered this much for such a low price, so I should think you get a great value for every dollar you invest in it.

The Good thing is, we are talking about high quality hosting service, as they provide support around the click and 99.9% Guaranteed Uptime.

Easy CGI is one of the leading providers of hosting service today, and offers everything you might need for your website, including One-Step-Script-Installation tool, (for installing some of the popular applications such as blog, forum, etc) as well as detailed Web Traffic Reports. So, the one year of free web hosting, which you receive through this special promotion does not mean you get less features. You will be provided with:

• Windows 2003 Hosting

As far as I understood this promotion is only valid for August, so hurry before it’s over!

The most amazing and fascinating thing about Internet is without a doubt web camera communication. It brings people closer regardless their actual distance, and you can talk with anyone from any place on earth as if he or she sits in your room.

While this could be a great entertainment for teens, some business people took this further and created the right software and hardware which allows real time high resolution Video Conference. It’s been quite a few times that I was talking in this blog about the wonders of Internet, which never cease to amaze me, so today when the guys behind LifeSize.com decided to sponsor this review, I chose to take this opportunity and tell my readers how thrilling actually Video Conference experience can get. You can go to their website and download a small demo (free) and see for yourself how international business meetings can be run quickly and easily; no need to fly across the globe - let’s not forget that this it not only time and money consuming, but also could be unsafe. I was really amazed by their small intro where you can see how overseas deals can be discussed without having to leave the office.

Did you ever try yourself in affiliate marketing? If you did and failed, it is only because online marketing is a hard business that requires a lot of time, creativity, management and responsibility, which we don’t always have. Yet, we hear so many stories about people earning huge money off sales and leads, and ask ourselves, how did they do it?

The secret is, not all of them do it the way you think - “manually”. Marketing software has been invented long ago, and the question is only - will you pick the right software, which will do all the work for you and allow you to lead your offline life without even bothering about yours sales, or not.
