Snap Preview Anywhere
February 23, 2007
I have installed a tool called Snap Preview Anywhere on Online Presence. Its an interesting service which shows a preview of any outbound links on your website. This will give users a quick preview of the site they will visit if they click on that link.
Quite neat and useful. Infact, just give it a try. Hover over the SPA link here and you will see the popup preview.

Web Advertising: Kontera ContentLink
February 23, 2007
Kontera provides in-place text advertisements by converting text from your HTML page to hover-over advertisements. I saw it on some websites and thought of giving it a try on my YPOPs! website. You are eligible for using the system if you have at least 150,000+ page impressions per month. At times, they do allow other sites entry into the system even if they don’t meet this criteria, if they feel that the site content is relevant for their advertising system.

Creating links to social bookmarking sites
February 19, 2007
Ever wondered how to add the “Digg This!” link to your Wordpress posts?
Adding links to social networking sites like Digg, Reddit, Bloglines, etc. is a useful method of popularing your blog and getting traffic back in return. Obviously, you need a regular inflow of readers and some good articles in the first place so that some of them can spread the word about your blog.

Hosting Providers: ICDSoft rules!
February 18, 2007
For those looking at hosting their own websites, I would strongly recommend they evaluate the services of ICDSoft. I have been using their hosting services for the last 5 years and its best described as brilliant.
ICDSoft provides two hosting options – Universal and Business; with the differences primarily in the storage space and the bandwidth available per month. The support they provide can be described as “real-time”. Whenever a support ticket is raised, the resolution takes places within a few minutes. If you are not familiar with the installation of Wordpress, as an example, they will get it done for you, in a matter of minutes. The service is very professional and prompt.
