How to be listed on top in a web directory

When we submit a site to a web directory, we do not have any say in its standing or position, do we? This would mean that our website could be lost in the thousands in the list. Now, there is a directory that allows us to place our site at whatever position we desire it to be.

By submitting a dollar amount to Big Web Links will enable our site to be listed any place we want it to be. If a site is among the top 10, it would have the chance to be listed a total of four times on the directory. It will be listed on the top 10 listings page, on the top 20 top links and a listing details page for each.

This new approach to web listing is now catching on as opposed to the conventional method of listing by popularity, Page Rank or alphabetically. These bid web sites are great to boost website traffic, plus Big Web Links having a PR of 7 would definitely boost up the PR of sites that link to it.

Play Backgammon online



The Internet has made many things possible and available online including playing games of skill and chance such as Backgammon. Backgammon is a popular game where people get together to have some fun. One can still play the game even without friends available. Just go online where you can find thousands of players from all over the world. This is where you can hone your skills and improve your game.

If you are a beginner or one who is totally new and would like to know how to play the game and learn the strategy, you can get information you need about playing the game from BackgammonMasters.com or visit another backgammon online source for news and information at www.Gammonish.com.

If you are a boxing fan, you might be interested to know that BackgammonMasters.com will auction off heavyweight boxer Roman Greenberg's famous shorts for $100,000 in an effort to help the young prospect make it to the world championship. All proceeds will go to charity for Arab and Jewish youth in distress.

At 24, Greenberg is one of the youngest heavyweights to compete at this prestigious level of professional boxing. His undefeated record stands at 25-0 (17 KO’s).

Win a BMW

It's exciting to be at an auction. You see the auction price going up and up and before you know it, the item is sold. In a regular auction, the highest bidder wins the auction. I just found out there is another type of auction where the lowest unique bidder actually wins the auction. Interesting, isn't it? There are many great prizes to be won on bid4prizes. There is a BMW 3 series, a 42" Plasma television, notebooks, games, iPhone, Nintendo Wii, cash prizes and many more.

The lowest unique bid for any prize starts at one penny, but if more than one person bids a penny, then that penny is no longer the lowest unique bid, and 2 cents is. If more than one person bids 2 cents then 3 cents is the next lowest unique bid. And so on and so on. Bidding can be done online as well as on your cellphone.

Excuse me while I go bid for that Beemer. And if I do win it, you'll be sure to read about it here.

Shrimp Recipes

I love eggs, any way they are cooked. I love shrimps too and shrimps or prawns as they are commonly referred to here, are one of the food I look for in a buffet line. I have to remind myself, everything in moderation, though.

I found an interesting site on shrimps as food, that is. The site has recipes, cooking tips, nutrition and health facts, etc. It's at http://www.eatshrimp.com/. You might want to check it out.

Goji Berries & Goji Berry Products

Soups are a big part of Chinese cooking. Soups can range from the ordinary vegetable soup to the more complex and nutritious herbal soup where a variety of herbs are put in together with meat and boiled over low fire for many hours. One of the ingredients in such herbal soups is wolfberries, also known as Goji Berries.

From as far back as I can remember, as children, we were reminded to eat our Goji berries if we wanted to improve our eye-sight. I supposed that is not unfounded as according to the Wikipedia, wolfberries (Goji berries) have long played important roles in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) where they are believed to enhance immune system function, improve eyesight, protect the liver, boost sperm production and improve circulation, among other effects.

Goji berries are naturally sweet in taste and can be consumed in various ways. They can be eaten raw or consumed as juice or wine or brewed into a tea. There is now no need to have friends and relatives bring them back when they visit China as Goji berries and Goji Juice can be bought online.

Labour Day & Wesak Day holidays

The next two days will be Public Holidays in Malaysia. We celebrate Labour Day and Wesak Day on May 1 but as they fall on the same day, May 2 is an extension of the Public Holiday.

Anyone who has taken off today would be having a 5-day off-period - just nice for a short holiday somewhere, which reminds me that I should be doing some shopping for Mother's Day gifts.

Happy holidays! Happy Wesak Day! And for me, happy shopping!

Virginia Tech footage -- Delete email - DO NOT open

Good morning! Something here for your information. Not sure if this is another one of those much-ado-about-nothing thingy but I figured it's better to be safe than sorry.


Beware..Beware..
This warning is put out by the Information System Operations Center.
While interest in the subject may be there, Do Not fall for this. If you get an email promising video footage of the VT shootings, delete it and
DO NOT follow the link.

What:
In the wake of recent events at Virginia Tech groups of unscrupulous persons have begun circulating an Email promising Video Footage of the massacre. This Email directs the user to a link to download the footage then loads a banking Trojan on to the users system and from there attempts to steal banking account, password, and PIN information from the users system.

Action: Urgent
All organizations and users should immediately delete all Emails regarding the Virginia Tech Massacre that offer camera phone footage of the incident.

Malware spam promises Virginia Tech video

Hackers have begun cashing in on the Virginia Tech university tragedy by spamming out malware-infected emails.

Hackers have begun cashing in on the Virginia Tech university tragedy by spamming out malware-infected emails purporting to offer cameraphone footage of the attack which resulted in more than 30 deaths.

Email messages carry a photograph of gunman Cho Seung Hui and claim to link to a Brazilian movie website carrying footage of the campus shootings.

But clicking on the link downloads a malicious screensaver file which installs a banking spyware Trojan.

The Trojan attempts to steal passwords, usernames and other information from online bank users, opening the possibility for identity theft and allowing bank accounts to be raided by cyber-criminals.

"It is pretty sick that cyber-criminals use tragic events like this in their attempts to make cash, but sadly it is not the first time and unlikely to be the last," said a senior technology consultant.

"It is of paramount importance that everyone treats unsolicited emails with suspicion, and thinks twice before they run a unsolicited program or click on a link.

"Regular antivirus updates, firewalls, security patches and a good serving of common sense is a must."

Past malware and spam campaigns have taken advantage of headline breaking news stories such as Hurricane Katrina, the Indian tsunami and the terror bombings in London.
