Many of you know about Alexa.

But I will discuss about a relatively new tool that was launched in recent months. It’s called QuarkBase.com

On first glance, the interface looks like Google.com search page.

The main function of this website is its ability to reveal almost everything about a particular website that you are interested to find out, such as site registration details, short description, main visitors grouped by country, related competitor websites (Hint!), social blogosphere popularity. It even reveals who are the key persons at this company.

How to integrate this tool with your browser?Go here for instruction…http://www.quarkbase.com/tools

The information that is particularly interested to me is “Similar and Related Sites”. By using this section of information, i can do some competitor analysis. This is very useful stuff.

For example, when i do a search for quarkbase.com itself, it pulls out more than 20 websites which the system “think” is highly related to, which probably people are visiting them as well.

It’s a way to find out if people who are interested in website A, will also visit what other sites frequently.

Talk soon,

Video marketing and online video tutorials sites are gaining popularity fast in the online business arena in recent years.

This is made possible with some of the easy to use and professional video creation software around.

One of such popular tool is Camtsia Studio by Techsmith.com, it’s selling for $299 and offer a trial version. This post is not about “What Camtasia Studio is”, as it is rather common in the internet marketing circle where most people are using it or have been buying or watching such videos. But what most people what to know is a complete “how-to” guide for creating professional and easy to share videos.

This is a no brainer, there are some people who would charge more than $700 bucks just to teach you how to use this “not so complicated” software. It is not so difficult actually, it can be learn with some guides and hands-on. To me, the more difficult part is the presentation and speaking skills!

Okay, enough said, i am going to show you where you can get such resources where there are more than 50 professional video tutorials, yes All for Free! Go here to master your Camtasia Studio now…

Hope you enjoy and make some cool videos,

Thomas

There has been a lot of good reviews about the latest web browser released by web giant Google recently.

2nd Sep 2008 was the day..

I believe a lot of people have been waiting for this released especially witnessing the many genius applications launched by Google over the many years, all these are focused at making the user experience on the internet better and better…

Especially the speed!

So what do i think of Chrome?

It’s fast, very fast!

The first thing i like about Chrome is its user interface, it’s clean and simple, is in line with all the Google’s applications. It’s just enough for you to do few things, back and forward, refresh and bookmarking. It’s good enough.

The address bar actually serves two purposes, on top of the normal URL bar, it acts as seach field as well.

Chrome also incorporates a feature called “Incognito” mode, which will not save your browsing history, cached images or visited pages, which is similar to IE 8 “InPrivate” mode.

According to Chrome, it treats each tab as a separate application. This is especially cool for multi-tab users as any javascript or flash issues with a particular tab doesn’t affect others…A quick look at the windows task manager reveals that they are all in different processes.

If you do a right click on the right hand side of the last tab, you will see an option “Task Manager”, you will be able to see how much memory every tabs / pages take up, this is useful if you have many tabs open at the same time.

Another sneaky feature of G-Chrome is the “Inspect Element”.

If you right click on an element on the page, there’s an option for you to click “Inspect Element”, it may be a good feature for people who are working with web development.

You can click on the resources button and then refresh the page, it will show the size and time taken to load each and every element on the page, it’s very sneaky! Immediately at a glance, you will discover which elements are slowing down your page.

On the other side of Google Chrome, there’s many users and bloggers voiced concerns on the terms of service at Section 11 about rights to any user-generated content “submitted, posted or displayed on or through” the browser. Well, it has been taken care of. Check it out at Google’s chrome TOS update. 

Overall the browser looks simple and clean, and to me at this early beta stage, the G-Chrome is a good browser.

I bet most of you have a Facebook account..

Check out my profile here.

In case you are not aware, Facebook has since becoming one of the biggest online social website and the rate of growth is really tremendous!

How can you really make use of this website to increase the awareness of your online business? Many people have come out with ebooks and home courses to teach you on that, in fact you don’t need to.

Go and use it, try it, feel it! That’s the best way, I guess.

In fact, when i first started using this little website, i was like not so used to it. The interface is so simple. If you noticed, Myspace has recently modified their interface and do something quite similar to Facebook, they have realised the power of this little competitor has created. It has also since become the little giant in the social industry. Go to Alexa and check out the graph, you will be Amazed! And if you do a comparison of Myspace with Facebook traffic trend, you will noticed that they are actually going at different path. Go and take a look.

Now, this is how i used Facebook.

1. First step

Create an account if you have not done so, it takes only few seconds.

2. Second step

Put in some simple information that you want to share with the future friends. Write something simple and put your website on your profile. This can create a lot of awareness for your business(Free Traffic for you!), i guess any business is about creating awareness and branding yourself.

3. Third step

Go and make friends! As simple as that. Now…don’t spam the people. Make real friends and start talking to them, see what they are doing online..If you are found spamming, your account may get banned, check out their profile. You can make some great friend there. The idea behind Facebook founder is that, Internet is full of spamming nowadays and people are sick of it. Just look at Myspace.

Now, you never know when you will need friend.

In fact i have some good networking and deals being made through the network…so this is what I have experienced and you should do it also.

Tip: Check out some of the famous internet marketer profile and make friends with them and theirs too!

That’s how i started in Facebook. You don’t need to spend the whole day looking at Facebook (in fact some people does!). Just do it consistently, daily, and your network will grow very fast.

When you have certain amount of network, people will add you naturally.

Tip: People want to make friends with people that has many friends, sounds logical right?

Okay. That’s all for today. I will share with you more about that later on…

Don’t forget to add me there!

This system was launched few months back and it has received thousands of testimonials, the information is of high value and most of it can only be found in some high ticket coaching programme at few thousands bucks. It is really well well under priced! I would sell it for at least 200 bucks if i would have created it!

Well, let me do a summary for you so that you can make a decision for yourself whether this is the information that you will need. It is a 141 pages ebook with proven concept and steps you will need to take, explained with screen shots too. If you think you can’t finish a 141 pages ebook, then I would suggest you not waste your money.

16. And build your relationship with your list

You will need to be able to “free up” yourself for this ebook if you intend to get it, or else you may not appreciate the details.

So much about the good stuff. How about the “down” side of this ebook??

Well, every product would have its pros and cons, you just have to compare and see if the pros really outweighs the cons.

Okay, I am going to share my opinions about the “down” part.
1. You need to get your own domain, web hosting and autoresponder account in order to apply this system
2. Some basic skills of creating simple opt-in page are needed, if not you may struggle with this.
3. Basic skills of FTP, setting up DNS and etc are needed.
4. You need to get link cloaker and learn how to use it

Though, If you really understand the important of these 4 parts, you will know that they are actually very important to building a successful internet business that you will need to learn anyway.

Well, overall i will rate “Newbie Cash Machine” 9/10 and it is well worth the price you are paying for!
