A several weeks ago I started to look for miscellaneous alternatives to the most commonly spread ads network - Adsense. I asked in forums and read up on blogs of those who I trust and value and realized that there is a damn easy way to make money from small, almost tiny text links. This program is especially good if you have a several websites with different niches.
You have probably heard of it before - I am talking about Text Link Ads, which is a great way to Monetize Your Site
Advantages:
1. Compatible with Google Adsense and can be used together on same page.
2. Extremely elegant looking links, these are “just” text links, u decide on a color and font size, no “sponsored by” add-ons or huge ads space required to be occupied.
3. Payment can be done by both PayPal and cheques.
4. You can make money even off your blog’s feeds / RSS.
5. You may get between 5$ to 300$ per link a month, and sell up to 10 links on a website. (the price depends on factors such as Alexa rank, Page Rank, Traffic, volume, and NICHE.)
It’s not another spam / scam site, you can read a lot of positive feedback on TLA (Text Links Ads)
on DigitalPoint Forums. Another advantage is that just like me, you will be earning 25$ for each person you referred to Text Link Ads. In order to qualify for an affiliate payment, a referred
publisher must install the advertising script on their site for seven days. At this time the referral will appear in the affiliate’s account.

How cheap do you think web host can be? We are used to see decent hosting service start with at least 8$, right? It’s pretty hard to find anything below this, unless you really want to take a risk of buying a host from a new and unknown company, which goes offline on a regular basis and moreover - can shut down any time.
Bet there is always an exception.
Gone by are the days when bandwidth used to to be pricy, nowadays hosts prices do get lower and lower, so finding a good host for a good price is no longer mission impossible. Nonetheless, finding a reliable host for 15$ a year that will provide you with 100mb space and 1GB bandwidth isn’t all that easy. Not anymore though, like I said, there is always an exception. Green Lush, established web hosting service based in the UK, proves the cheapest web hosting you are likely to find. If you pay annually in advance, 15$ for 12 months turns to be 1,25$ a month. That’s 4 cents a day, if you think about it. Sure you can afford 4 cents a day, and damn sure you can cover these expenses with ads or any type of marketing. Bubblegum costs more than that.
The good thing about Green Lush is that this is not a new company that has just popped on the market; they have been online since 2005, hosting over 7000 websites and proved to be trustworthy and professional.
And, a fact that I personally must note is that they have one of the best website interfaces out there. Worth checking 
Did you know that Ituloy Angsulong is an entry of Eli from the Philippine’s 2nd SEO Competition for this key phrase? However, unlike it might be expected from a competition-dedicated blog, it’s not there only to gather keywords, but in fact is a very useful web journal for any beginner or advanced webmaster and SEO expert that look to promote their website and improve ranking in SE.
The site offers a lot of articles and tips for link building, SEO and, what I personally found to be very useful - SEO tools, that discuss things such as Google analytics hack as well as Google webmasters tools.
I’d strongly recommend visiting the Ituloy Angsulong website, as it’s a great resource of tips and tricks, original and interestingly written articles as well links to other useful sources on the Internet.
Today I came across ASCII Art - incredibly useful website for converting images into ASCII online. You can select the quality and the mode of the image. Not only this, but also flip it horizontally or vertically. Yes, all this can be done instantly online, no need to download any software or special plug-ins, let alone pay for it.
For those who are not aware, ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is character coding based on the alphabet. It is used in computers and miscellaneous devices, which work with text.
This online tool is easy to use, free and fast, and therefore highly recommended.
Too late for Valentine’s day, but made this, trying badly to copy Steve’s (DP Studios) wallpaper he made for Valentine’s day… of course I came nowhere near, but eh, just my attempt. Hope you like it and maybe even use it…

After some pretty successful tries with glaming up the photos such as Goth Gmalour and Pure Glamour effect, I thought I’d make a small tutorial about it, since Johan requested it so nicely
So, here is a short 5-minutes video tutorial that will tell you how to turn a grainy photo with noise, skin defects and poor quality - to a glamorous shot, like in magazines.
