Shopping for the holidays? Here’s a way to save money

September 19, 2007 by Tricia

The holidays will be upon us soon and I’m sure that many of you have already started shopping. I’m definitely not one of those people who are ready for the holidays three months in advance, but I know some of you might be finished shopping already.

If you are beginning to shop for the holidays you might want to visit webbyplanet.com. It’s an e-commerce search site where you can find great deals, discounts, coupons and free shipping at over 5000 retail and online stores.

When you visit Webbyplanet.com you can browse through the shopping categories or do a search for the product for which you are hoping to find a deal or coupon. Once you find the store or product you were looking for you can browse through the listings to find coupons that you can print and use for in store purchases, or you can find coupon codes to use while online.

Each listing links to the store the coupon or deal is related to and that makes it easy to take advantage of the bargain you found and shop for it right away.

Looking through the site I found quite a few deals and coupons. Many of the listings were for $10 to $20 off an item or service, and other listings gave discounts in percentages of 15% to 35% and higher. All of the listings are in chronological order which means the ones at the top are the newest listings.

Visit WebbyPlanet today and start saving money at online stores like Eddie Bauer, Buy.com, Overstock.com, Sephora and more!

Ready to buy a telephoto lense

September 18, 2007 by Tricia

The other day I decided to do some serious hunting for a telephoto lens for my Canon Digital SLR camera.

I found two lenses that I wanted to purchase. On Amazon of all places, and the price wasn’t too bad, but then I noticed that they would only ship those items to American addresses.

So … who knows of a great place to get camera lenses and accessories online for a good price? A place that ships throughout North America of course. Maybe Ebay? Any other ideas for me?

I was all set to plunk down about $700! It’s there loss. I’ll find the lenses I want at a good price somewhere else.

EPAY debit cards – shop, make payments, and send money worldwide

September 16, 2007 by Tricia

I keep hearing about EPAY. Have you heard of it yet?

EPAY is a service similar in some ways to another popular service that many of us use called paypal. Similarities aside it appears to me that EPAY has a lot more services available worldwide. In fact if EPAY takes off it could become one of the most highly trafficked internet payment gateways in the world.

You’ll likely come across more and more online merchants who are using the services of EPAY to allow their clients to pay for goods or services. If you are not yet a member of EPAY you can still use the service to make a payment to the merchants EPAY account in order to buy a product, but in the long run it might be a great idea to go ahead and open a free EPAY account.

When you register with EPAY you’ll be able to transfer USD or EUR funds in a number of ways. You can use your EPAY account to pay for goods and services, accept money transfers or make your own bank wire transfers.

Members can sign up for debit cards which can be used virtually anywhere in the world where you would use ATM or credit cards on and offline.

Think about it. If you were away on holiday somewhere and you had funds in your EPAY account you’d be able to access cash using your EPAY debit card 24 hours a day. It works just like an e-wallet allowing you to access cash from anywhere in the world.

You could even use your EPAY debit card to send money to friends or relatives anywhere in the world too.

So how do you get money to your EPAY account? Simple. You can transfer it from your bank account, via egold or pecunix. Easy. Another feature of the EPAY service is the ability to make and receive payments using SMS on your mobile phone or by email. EPAY services certainly sound convenient don’t they?

I haven’t signed up for an account yet, but I expect that I will in the near future. Have you tried EPAY and or their debit cards yet?

Update on my use of Kontera

September 7, 2007 by Tricia

Do you use Kontera to monetize your site? I’ve been using it since sometime in July on the majority of my sites and over all I’m quite happy with the results.

I have been in contact with my representative at Kontera though, because my impression stats (and resulting income) for all the blogs on my Feverishthoughts.com domain are a lot lower than I expected. I’m comparing my results to the amount of impressions I’m getting on my main website (not a blog) which probably has a few hundred less page views per day than all the sites on the feverishthoughts.com domain combined. You’d think that the Kontera link impression numbers would be about the same, but their not. I’m getting four to five times more impressions on my website than on my feverishthoughts blogs.

I’m using Lucias KonteraControl wordpress plugin to control when the Kontera links are allowed to appear on my blog posts. Naturally I don’t want them in the posts that I do for my advertisers – at least not for whatever amount of time is required by each companies TOS. I don’t think the plugin should be interfering in the amount of impressions that I get in the posts that I allow Kontera in, but something is causing there to be less impressions.

We’re trying to figure it out.

If you are using the KonteraControl plugin are you getting the amount of impressions that you think you should be? Say at least 3 to 5 links per post?
