Mixx.com

If there was ever a time to join a social networking site, it’s now, and the site is Mixx. Mixx is a fairly new social networking site that is constantly growing. At the moment it’s not very hard for users to get their articles to the front page, but plenty of traffic still comes from the site. Mixx definitely isn’t small, but in comparison to digg you could say it is.

If you sign up for Mixx now, and start building up your profile, then you have a great chance to become of of the power users of the site. We know that many people use social networking sites to boost their website’s traffic, and I’m one of them. I signed up to Mixx hoping that I could become one of the top content submitters on there. (this will be my first post submitted)

I created a group called young webmasters, so if anyone wants to join then feel free to. You don’t have to be young, or even a webmaster, you just have to be someone on mixx :D. (more specifically in that niche).

Tips and Reminders:

• Build up your friends. friends vote for their friends topics.
• Don’t ignore your friends. You shall get what you give :).
• Vote for other articles besides your own, this way people become fans of yours for finding and submitting good content from all over.

Happy Mixxing

Win Free Web Hosting!

I recently came across a site called Web Cosmo Forums which is giving out free hosting plans to its top two posters.  The site is a webmaster forum, so their will be plenty of new things for you to learn there, and you can share things that you already know.  The forum isn’t currently extremely active, so you could probably easily become one of the forum’s top posters.

What you Could Win:

Top Poster Prize:
Baby Plan from hostGator.com
Linux hosting
Disk Space 600GB, Bandwidth 6000GB, CPanel, 1 Domain, Unlimited FTP,
Site builder, Unlimited email accounts, Unlimited MySql, PHP, 99.9% Uptime guarantee and more.

Second Top Poster Prize:
Hatchling Plan from hostGator.com
Linux hosting
Disk Space 350GB, Bandwidth 3000GB, CPanel, 1 Domain, Unlimited FTP,
Site builder, Unlimited email accounts, Unlimited MySql, PHP, 99.9% Uptime guarantee and more.

Of course there are also a few rules to the contest as well.

• The contest starts today May 20th 12AM GMT and ends 19th 12PM GMT
• You must have made at least 150 posts during the contest period
• Posts must be meaningful, and about a sentence or longer in length.  Posts also must be relevant to the topic
• If you don’t want web hosting, you will get an equal amount of money via paypal.

I think that this contest is a great oppurtunity to make a bit of extra money, learn something about being a webmaster, and then… if you win, you can use your new knowledge working on a website!  You can find out more about the oppurtunity here.

Arcadem Pro

I used to own an arcade that I spent hours on manually updating all of the games, and templates in dreamweaver.  I searched for reasonable, and professional looking arcade scripts but could find none.  I have since sold that website and started over again with kevinsarcade.com.  Kevins arcade is running arcadem pro, which can be purchased from agaresmedia.com.  Arcadem pro seems to have the best value out of all the payed arcade scripts out there, and also offers a free version which works great.  I’ve gotten over 2,000 games in about an hour of work, and decided on a great site design from their premade selection.  Whereas, on my old site… it took days of work to get just a few hundred games on the site.

Agares offers plenty of support on their forums, where other members and admins help out with any problems you may have.  They have game packages for purchase, and the script comes with a free 500 free games.  If you are planning on buying an arcade script, I suggest agaresmedia’s arcadem pro.
