Real Traffic Generator

I just joined Vampirella Hits a few days ago and already have well over 3,000 credits and over a dozen sites in rotation. Incredible bonuses, and an increasing credit ratio as you surf more. You can get a lifetime membership for $10 until they get to 1500 members. You can click or hover, banners and text links don't consume credits, and there are some great splash pages and banners to promote this traffic exchange. I don't usually get to excited about traffic exchanges, but this one is a bargain. Take advantage of the lifetime pro membership for only $10 and start earning some serious credits.

Time to start your own home business

Is now a good time to start your own home business? If you have a retirement account you probably have only about half of what you had a year ago. It used to be enough to work for a company for 30 years, and retire with a pretty decent pension or 401k account, but is that true today? I would suggest that there is a fundamental change in the stock market, and while everyone points to history; I don't think it is smart to assume that the past is a great predictor of the future when it comes to investments.

So back to my original question. Is now a good time to start your own home business? YES! YES! YES!

Here are just a few reasons why now might be the best time ever to start your own business:

1. During a recession home based businesses tend to thrive. I used to work for one of the largest MLM companies in the world and when times where tough we always recruited more members and made more money.
2. Developing a second source of income. While I don't know your situation, it is not a bad idea to hedge your bets and find another way to make money. What if you lost your job? What happens when you decide to retire and you find out you don't have as much money in your retirement accounts as you would have liked?
3. Small business accounts for an ever increasing percentage of the gross national product in many countries. Depending on companies like General Motors, AIG, Citi Group, etc. for your only source of income is just plain risky. Why not become part of the solution, by owning your own business.
4. Becoming independent. This kind of feeds off all the points made before. Why not take control over your own destiny.
5. Finally now more than ever there are many different businesses you can get involved in, and I'm sure you can find one that you can be passionate about.

I have three businesses that I promote and feel passionate about. One is in the health and wellness field, an area of the economy that will only grow, as baby boomers age, but want optimal health and wellness. Another one that I am involved in takes advantage of the growth in the internet, and can position you to develop a web based presence for any business you choose. The third one I promote and use provides a nice additional income by viewing advertisements, and building a downline. All of these require work to succeed at, but all have great long term potential. My top 3 picks are:

GBG - The Ten in One liquid vitamin
GDI - Global Domains International a web hosting business, where you not only can create your own web presence, but also profit by signing up others.
ClixSense - My favorite paid to click program.


Best of Luck!

Link Exchanges

You've heard about the power of linking your site to others and other people to yours. If you want a decent search engine placement you need to have many websites pointing to your site. One of the easiest ways of doing this is joining a link exchange. I'm not here to refer you to any of these sites, there is nothing in it for me, but I will let you know the ones I use and hopefully you find them useful.

Here are my favorites:

LinkMarket - http://www.linkmarket.com/
LinkAlizer - http://www.linkalizer.com/
http://www.linkslister.com/

Now I have others, but quite frankly I don't use them all because it takes work to check out their sites, decide which ones you want to trade with, and add them to your website. I almost exclusively use LinkMarket and LinkAlizer. They both provide plenty of opportunities to trade, and have a large installed base to choose from.
