Having a excellent host

March 5, 2009 · Filed Under General · 2 Comments 

It is quite true that you get what you pay for, however its also true that when you do your homework you can get quality for a great price.  When I used to work for a guy doing websites several years ago we use a host that was quality buty pricy.  After a couple years we shoped around and got the same quality for 1/3rd the price.

When I started with proxy websites I went with a host that was recommended to me.  I knew quality was important as proxies are very volitile and even a day down time can deal a solid blow.  I ran with them for while and they were helpful.  However upon searching for a better solution I found WDservers.com aka thewird on Digital Point Forums.  I was able get a server that supported more then 3 times as many users for basically the same price as I was paying at my old host.  My profit went up immediately, becuase I had maxed out my old server and I didn’t realize how much I was losing.

More importantly the guy who runs WDservers is on top of his game.  He has always helped me out above and beyond what I needed and fixed the couple of issues I have had, in the past year and a half, in no time flat.  His service is just exceptional, and he is just a great guy too.

I got an IM today saying he had fixed my server for myspace.  I didn’t know it, but Myspace made some changes and it required a server tweak to may my sites work.  Point being, I didn’t even know about it.  I realized that my profit had gone down all of a sudden, but I handnt been able to figure out why.  It was because my sites were not working!  I would have probalby not gottent he problem fixed with other hosts even if I had asked them too.  My family has a site with antoher provide and I had just got off chat support with them trying to fix an issue 5 mins before thewird sent me the message that he had tweaked my server.   My other host had no idea what they were talking about, and it was a Wordpress related issue.  You can’t get much more mainstream then that.   Then I get a message from thewird that Myspace is fixed on my server and I didn’t even ask for help.  Not to mention, I didn’t even know that was the reason my sites weren’t performing.  Its easy to see where the quality is here.  Great price, better service, hands down choice.

Edit: Of note: he told me that he is currently updating his site and prices may not be acurate.

Hiding your smily links

March 1, 2009 · Filed Under General · Comment 

In my previous post I talked getting do follow links by leaving comments on various sites.  The idea is that we would use a picture to get a link, like a smiley face, thus we don’t look like we are spamming.  In reality we are not spamming because we are leaving quality comments, but we just want to get a link in there too.

On one site I was leaving a comment and it put a nice blue box around my picture like so:

smile-blue

Which make it obvious that it is a link.  Thats not bad, its still unobtrusive, but its obvious.  So I thought if you could dress up the image a bit to make it not so obvious it might be better.  So I added boxes around the image like this:

smilem Thus when it adds the blue link box around the outside it looks like this:

smile_colors Grant it that this is not the greatest, but it makes the blue line less in your face.  However its a bit big.  Another option I did was backfill the smile face with the color of the blue:

smile-blue-fill Once it adds the link it looks like this:

smile-blue-fill-link Smaller and less noticible.  Either way it camouflages the fact that there is a link.  Not sure if it really makes that big of a difference, but its a thought.  If anyone cares to comment if they think it really matters or other ideas that would be great.  These were just a couple options I thought of real quick.
