Wordpress is continuing its tradition of releasing new and new versions every week.  And that creates a headache for bloggers who has to pass through an ordeal of upgrading their blog and sometimes breaks their blog.

A new version v 2.6.1 is available for download which includes nothing new but over 60 bug fixes. If you are already on 2.6, there is no need to upgrade. Wait for future release v 2.7 which will be big as I think so

You can upgrade your blog by manually replacing files via FTP or you can use Automatic wordpress upgrade plugin. If your fantastico is update with the latest version, you can use that too. OR you can hire a programmer like me to upgrade it. Wordpress themes remain compatible with the newer version - so no worry.

Happy Blogging !

Today I was searching for a Web Design Company in Google I bounced into SEO Watch while I was searching with the simple but highly competitive keyword “SEO“. I browsed their web site, found lots of information and interesting statements, tools for seo-guys this fact puts them for me on the level of a best breed search engine optimization company.

Judging from their content and the online portfolio, their services actually can achieve what I have in mind - to be on the first pages of the major search engines. SEO Watch offers a variety of professional online marketing services from manual directory submissions to finding quality links for web sites, but also to restructure the complete site if this proves to be necessary to be displayed on the first pages. What I really appreciate is that they offer a 24 hour friendly online support made possible by an online help system.

Based in Thailand SEO Watch can offer reasonable prices compared to the European or US SEO Service fees charged for similar results. They are also active and closely working together with their sister company in The Netherlands that offers pretty much the same kind of services. Zoekmachine Optimalisatie is the Dutch word for search engine optimization and this term is getting more and more popular in The Netherlands but also throughout Europe. Working from out Thailand and delivering support to Europe makes Visual Orange in the Netherlands an interesting partner if you do not want to outsource to foreign countries. Their online marketing products and using the newest technologies that are available make them a hot tip in the market.

Both companies do not only provide optimization but also analyze your web site or online shop and do all necessary to improve click through rate and to increase the number of returning visitors. They make use of special web analytics services and user behavior analysis. They actually apply these services on their clients web sites to improve the traffic and usability of the sites. If you want to improve your online business today and increase ROI you should definitely contact one of these companies above for further information about how they could assist you to improve your web site and make it an investment that not only costs but also delivers.

Previous I wrote an article on from where to get SEO services in Pakistan. Now let me tell you about BrainPulse technologies - a professional SEO company having headquarter based in India but their wings are spread worldwide.

If you are in Internet marketing or SEO field, you must be knowing that Indians provide cost effective SEO and SEM solutions because they are hard working, have an indepth knowledge and coz of more value of dollar. And that’s why SEO services from Indians are cheap. But beware of unreputed companies that might ruin your site.

Some of the services they provide include SEO consultancy, web designing, software development, SEM (search engine marketing), Pay-per-click marketing and management, link development, SEO copy-writing, directory submission & one way link building services and more.

Brainpulse technologies also provide web hosting India services since years. The hosting comes with almost all necessary features and good customer support. The web hosting supports features like free php hosting, free MS access, free unlimited MYSQL, Java servlets etc. You can buy windows hosting, linux hosting, VPS hosting, dedicated or reseller hosting - all at one place, Brainpulse.

The company also offers managed and customized web hosting solutions. You can check customer testimonials for their reliability. And did I mention - it’s an ISO 9001:200 certified company. Give them a try.

Many of my friends in Pakistan asked me “from where to get SEO services in Pakistan”. And my first reaction was - Zafar Ahmed.

Zafar Ahmed is a SEO expert from Pakistan and has an indepth knowledge of Search engine optimization, Pay-Per-Click management, Internet marketing, and much more. He is in the web industry since years and had gained a lot of knowledge to provide his expert services - not only in Pakistan but all round the globe. He has gained a lot of fame in the internet marketing industry. And also the service prices are lower than the current market rates.

I am a frequent visitor of his blog where he writes some great articles on SEO and SEM tips. He also provides SEO training and consultancy to the interested aspirants. So if you are seraching for a SEO Pakistan based, I would suggest you to try Zafar Ahmed at once.

I see many webmasters being banned from Google Adsense and then they keep searching for Adsense alternatives. I would advise them to give a try to RevResponse. Yes, one more way is going be added to my make money online list !!

You must have heard about affiliate marketing and various affiliate networks like Rocketprofit, Clickbooth, PepperjamNetwork etc. Most of them pays commission when a sale is generated - so called Cost Per Acquisition offers. RevResponse is just like an affiliate network but with a twist.

The twist is - you are paid to promote free products. Yes, thats true, you will earn commission when you generate subscribers for products like magazines, software trials, podcasts or white papers. When your referral successfully subscribes for these free resources,  you are eligible for commission. This commission can range from 1.5$ to as high as $20 - but no exact value is available for publishers. As they don’t look like adsense, you can even use it along with adsense on your site/blog.

Various ad formats are available for you to promote RevResponse like Banner ads, text ads, custom paragraphs, email ads, flash widgets etc. - all these can be set from their easy-to-use promotion wizard.  BTW  I like their flash widget which looks as below :

One of the best part of RevResponse is, they will provide you a co-branded site. This site will look similar to your existing website but will have content related to those free products.  For e.g. look my free magazines co-branded site - similar to this blog. And this sub-site also adds more resource to your site - which could be useful for your visitors. You can also show products related to your niche only (they have offers for almost all niche). Ads no more look like ads and thus more conversion !!

The minimum payout is $50 and the payout cycle is of 45 days. They pay via check and paypal, the partner have choice to select their preferred payment option. The customer support or the so called affiliate managers are very supportive and will help you earn max. You can also share your tips, views or suggestions in their forum - where their staff members are active too. I think, RevResponse is an attractive way of making money online.
