Things to Buy YouTube Channel

I have started a new YouTube channel based around my new site: Great Things to Buy. Basically, the YouTube channel lists various products that people may want to buy. The idea is that the products are kind of gimmicky, fun and occasional useful. For example funny wedding cake toppers is one of the videos I created for my site and it basically shows a collection of humorous wedding cake toppers.

In time I hope to add many more videos to the channel and hopefully they will get views and drive some nice traffic to my awesome site. I've so far found that Amazon is a fair way of making money online, though it can be very 50/50 compared to Adsense. It really comes down to the crowd you are advertising to, as you are paid based on how much they are spending. If the crowd are big spenders they may go to Amazon and buy a lot of products, resulting in a good bit of earning for you. If they are poorer, then they won't spend enough to really see a profit from the consumer giant.

The benefit of these gimmicky products is that people click them and then go on to buy other products, rather than the one they clicked on. When they buy these other products, you make a cut of the earnings.

For anyone that is interested, here is a link to my new YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/GreatThingstoBuy

Three Minute Philosophy

Three Minute Philosophy is awesome, and if you are into philosophy as a subject and have not seen any of this series of YouTube Videos I highly recommend you check out my Three Minute Philosophy Review.

In it I list all of the Three Minute Philosophy videos and review each of them, offering a brief discussion of each of the videos. As a student of Philosophy, I feel I know at least a little about it and while I try to avoid going too in-depth it can be good to get further information from someone in the field.

Interestingly, I read that the author of these videos had received some problems as a result of them from people in Philosophy, which is absolutely pathetic. The videos are great and very popular. In truth, he probably has had more sway over the world than many of his lecturers as a result of them.

YouTube Editors

While I have been largely neglecting my YouTube based site, after using a whole series of YouTube editors I thought it would be good to write an article and so have sparked a renewed interest in the site. The interesting thing about YouTube study as a site is that it has received regular traffic despite a lack of content, reflecting that there is a need for a site such as it. The basic concept behind the site was to create a TV Guide for YouTube, functioning in a very similar manner. However, shortly after creating the site I decided that the idea was a little silly and stopped contributing content. Now the site has turned around and grown quite dramatically.

As a result of this I have decided to write a few new articles, which I think are actually very good examples of articles and quite awesome content. The first of these is the Free YouTube Video Editors article that lists a great many free video editors that can be used for YouTube. I really think it is the best content of its kind on the Internet and as a result I hope it grows dramatically. The second of these is an article about Infinity Mirrors on YouTube, which give a fake affect of depths.

More on The Cleverbot Visitor Swarm

One of the really strange things about writing online lately has been the plethora of visitors driven to my site in search of Cleverbot related content. It seems like a really odd trend to be popular, but I suppose it is driven by the boom in iPhone and Android apps, Cleverbot being a particularly cheap one. As a result of this, almost half my daily visitors are to less than 1% of my overall content.

The amazing thing is that this is nothing compared to the overall number of people searching for Cleverbot content, reaching into the 500,000 searches per month area which is just staggering. Unfortunately, though, one of my articles was ranked down quite dramatically by Google as a result of scrapers essentially 'stealing' my content. While the scrapers linked back, the excess of links basically became listed as 'junk links' and rendered the content suspicious which is a shame as it was one of my best performing articles.

QWhatDo Complete

It has been a long while since I updated this blog, primarily because I have been very busy with my business and with designing my new site: QWhatDo. The idea behind QWhatDo is that people can join up, create information on their local area such as 'shoe shopping in New York'.

The benefits for authors are:

1. Backlinks
2. Adsense Revenue sharing

The site also includes a really easy search option for people to search the site. I have a lot more to do yet on the overall design of the site, as well as promoting it, but the core functionality is ready.

Cleverbot vs Cleverbot

I forgot to include a link to one of my more recent articles from YouTube Study but now that I have remembered I have added a link below. In this article I made a transcript of the Cleverbot vs Cleverbot video produced by Cornell labs. This video was easily one of the funniest chat bot related media I have yet seen and really is a must watch.

Cleverbot vs Cleverbot

My New Web Design Business

I have been applying for job after job and it is proving somewhat hard to get a job at the moment, or a job worth doing, so I am trying my hand at creating a web design business. I work more as a contractor than anything else, designing small business sites for people that desire a web presence. I am specifically focusing on the Brisbane area but Australia-wide is also a potential. If you are an international person looking for web design, I would consider it though it gets a little more complicated in regards to payments.

Anyway, check out my site at:

Cheap Brisbane Web Design

The main thing I have going for me over other web designers is that I will dedicate quite a lot of time to your site for a low price. Web Design organizations simply cannot afford to do that, but I can as I only really need a single job per week to get by and aim to have two.

Headphones Guide

I have written another guide for Esoteric Articles. This particular gudie discusses how to acquire a good pair of headphones cheaply. The basic gist of it is that I give examples of good headphones for under $50. Hopefully it will work well in terms of earning money, as I have posted affiliate links to Amazon products on the side panel. The products and prices are legitimately good, so it should do well.

Good Pair of Headphones for Under $50

I am posting here mainly because I am having some problems getting my pages indexed in Google lately, its quite irritating. Since Google's changes my pages have ranked better, but have also been far slower to index.

I have also started another site, YoutubeStudy, which I have linked to on the right. With some luck I will see more traffic to it as well shortly, though I have not yet included advertising or anything like that.

Why the Barack Obama Anti-Christ Phenomenon is Nonsense

Why Do People Believe Obama is the Anti-Christ?

Obama represents the left-wing of politics and as myth and religion tend towards being right-wing, specifically evangelical Christianity, a belief that Obama is the anti-Christ has seemingly risen. Belief that Obama is the antichrist is further fuelled by an immense amount of global support as well as by the 2009 Nobel Piece Prize being awarded to him. Accusations that a particular global leader is the antichrist have been prevalent before, but accusations against Barack Obama have been particularly heavy.

Biblical Mismatches

In Christian scripture the Anti-Christ is meant to possess a number of signs that identify him and many of these are difficult to match up to Obama. Firstly, the antichrist is said to not care for the desires of women, which basically means that he is not particularly interested in relationships with women. This is already a major problem for the Obama as antichrist theory as Obama is married.

Secondly, the antichrist is meant to be a man of great ability and an intellectual genius in a number of fields that allow him to solve major world problems (Ezekiel 28:3; Daniel 8:23). The idea is that the antichrist is the 'son of man', the final and full development of humanity. While Obama is no doubt a talented man he is hardly a genius in a collection of fields and is definitely not the fullest development of humanity.

Thirdly, the antichrist is meant to create a global money system that requires some kind of mark or symbol to utilize. This symbol is said to be the mark of the beast. Barack Obama has made no mention whatsoever of any plans to create a global economic scheme that would make the whole world uses the same currency.

The Validity of The Anti-Christ Myth

The biggest logical issue for the antichrist myth is that prediction generally means the future can change. After all, if what is about to happen is known then it can be predicted and acted against. Furthermore, the text itself uses very confusing descriptions and imagery that make it near impossible to truly get any information.

Conclusion As To Why Barack Obama Is Not The Antichrist

The evidence weights strongly against the accusations of Barack Obama being the antichrist, as he clearly goes against the majority of traits the antichrist is meant to have. This is without even considering the idea that the whole myth is nonsense or that by making a prediction and releasing it publicly the future has changed

5/5/2011 General Update

It has been a while since I have given a general update on what I have been doing. Still working on my site, and t his blog. Basically, I am trying to gain backlinks from blogger in a different way than I generally have by including my RSS feed in a widget. The google panda update was beneficial for my website but hurt my various blogs quite heavily.

I have also been trying to get as many backlinks from bestreviewer, which I may include a link too later. I have learnt that having a few articles that simply do not have backlinks helps to get a website treated a little better. As such this particular post will not include any backlinks whatsoever and I am hoping that my feed widget will do that job for me.

I have also updated the general theme of my site and included the Amazon affiliate program alongside advertisements. So far it has accomplished close to nothing, though the change in site design has actually resulted in many more clicks on advertisements which is great.

Two New Articles

I have written two new articles that do not seem to fit into any of the categories I am establishing on this blog, but I need backlinks for them. Google is being particularly slow to index them, and I have since learnt that Blogger is the best way to get something indexed.

Tomb Raider Success

A lot of people tend to attribute the success of the Tomb Raider series of games to the sexual imagery associated with Lara Croft. However, I argue in this article that the success of the games can most clearly be attributed to the beauty of the imagery.

Netgear dg834g Review

Netgear router review that I moved from my Associated Content page to my site. Should have done this ages ago, but I guess was too lazy. Unfortunately, it turns out a lot of people have been stealing my articles which means that if I attempt to move them my new page with the articles will rank lower than the stolen. Very irritating, Internet writing is broken industry.

Online Freelance Opportunities

The idea of working online is one I find particularly appealing and I expect many other people do as well as the market is quite over saturated by employees. It is a pity because the idea offers a lot of potential, particularly for mothers who could potentially work while staying at home with their children. Overall, I hope to review as many online freelancing opportunities as I can and add them to a complete list.

oDesk Review

It is a pity that more employers have not taken up oDesk, as the system itself is very professional and easy to use. As a potential employee, I have found the employers their nice enough though many of them want article spinning which I find questionable at best. However, some employers have even gone so far as to say that I should keep emailing them as they will give me a job the next time they have one.

Dark Knight Analysis Articles

It turns out that I have not written a blog post about my Dark Knight film articles, which surprised me. In essence, I wrote a whole collection of articles analyzing and discussing the Dark Knight's characters and moral dilemmas similiar to my collection of Pulp Fiction articles.

The first of these discusses Harvey Dent:

Dark Knight Harvey Dent Character Analysis

Harvey Dent, particularly at the end of the film, was arguably the most intimidating part of it.

Dark Knight Joker Character Analysis

The interesting thing about the Joker is that he is not actually a nihilist as many believe, or at least his main ideology is not nihilistic. He is rather arguing that all people, no matter how moral they seem, are immoral and selfish.

Dark Knight Ethical Dilemmas Analysis

Cloud Computing Articles

It was not so long ago that Cloud Computing concepts were seen as an interesting, but irrelevent, idea. Now, they are simply a practical fact and the new direction of business based computing. As a result, I have started writing a whole collection of articles on the topic of Cloud Computing. The first of these is designed simply to list as many Cloud Computing services as I possibly can.

Cloud Computing Services List

While I am only part way through my list of cloud computing services, I am finding the article difficult to write on account of many of the services seeming very similiar to server hosting rather than Cloud Services.

Cloud Computing Positives and Negatives

Writing articles about Cloud Computing in general inspired me to write about the positives and negatives. While I do not feel I am completely done, I believe my list to be relatively comprehensive and well thought out.

Converting Media Files with VLC Media Player

I am in the process of writing a host of articles that will describe the way in which to convert files using VLC Media Player. The application itself is great, the more I use VLC Media Player the more I find myself enjoying it and I suspect it will soon become my sole media player. However, it is a little rough to use so I intend to write a series of guides clearing up how to use it.


Convert MP4 to MP3 VLC Media Player

The MP4 format is relatively common to both digital video cameras and youtube videos so learning to convert from it is likely to be important.

Australian Wireless Internet Providers

I have been trying to go through as many Australian Wireless Internet provider services to review them all. Overall, they are getting better but the services I have reviewed so far I have found lacking either because of excessive prices or poor coverage.

Vodafone Wireless Internet Review

Vodafone were really promising with relatively fair prices but were ultimately let down by lack of a shaping option and extremely poor coverage. Even in inner city areas I had trouble getting reception, with frequent drop-outs. It is a real pity because the software and hardware packages themself worked wonderfully and had so much functionality. If the reception had been better, I would likely still be using Vodafone Wireless.

Telstra Bigpond Prepaid Wireless Internet Review

Bigpond Prepaid Wireless actually worked really well, but the cost was absurd. This was further compounded by the fact that actually putting credit on proved very difficult and many telstra dealers get confused between mobile phone credit (which is more expensive) and wireless Internet credit (which is cheaper, but still a bit expensive).

Overall:

Internet in Australia has always been a let down and the ISPs are not really so much to blame. We have a small population dispersed over a large land mass.

Silent Hill Downpour Articles

I have begun writing a whole series of articles on the upcoming Silent Hill: Downpour game for PS3 and XBOX 360. Overall, the game is actually looking great, with the E3 2011 trailer seeming particularly promising. I personally hope it is the best of the series. Regardless here are the articles:

Silent Hill Downpour Monsters Analysis

This article is basically the next in my series of monster analysis articles from the Silent Hill series. While it is early, some great images of the monsters of Silent Hill Downpour can be found here. I also noticed some general themes for the monsters.

Silent Hill Downpour Characters Analysis

This article explores the characters of Silent Hill: Downpour. Unfortunately, aside from the main character the other characters do not yet seem to have their names released which will mean more work in regards to getting them developed. Regardless, I suspect both of these articles will be very popular.

Roger Ebert Errors

I really tend to like Roger Ebert's reviews, reading almost every new review that happens to come out. However, sometimes he says things that annoy me and which I am sure are wrong, so I wrote an article in response to errors I view in Ebert's work:

Roger Ebert's Mistakes

Excess Articles

Excess Articles

I made an articles collection site that is designed to get some backlinks from Webs. Overall, I am not sure if webs even provide backlinks from their websites, but hopefully they do and if I get indexed it should work alright.

Interestingly I got banned/blocked from Xomba, which is annoying as the site had a way of getting indexed quickly. Pity.

Stargate Universe

Stargate Universe Nicholas Rush

Writing character analysis articles are probably my favourite, so I decided to do one on Dr. Nicholas Rush from the new Stargate Universe series. I got in particularly early with this one, so if the series becomes popular I think the article will do really well. Furthermore, I think Rush is a fantastic character and I cannot wait to find out more about him as Stargate Universe goes on.

Stargate Universe Eli Wallace

I actually am not so fussed on Eli as a character, but it is interesting analyzing him in comparison to the other characters. He and Chloe, however, do not seem like they really belong at all on the mission. Furthermore, he seems to lack the eccentricities thatI think characterize intelligence.

Stargate Universe Cancelled

Personally, I was really disappointed that sgu was cancelled. While the show was not by any means perfect, it was a legitimate Science Fiction show. Its ideas were thoughtful and complex, with legitimate discussion of moral issues.
