I have recently come across a method which is providing amazing results for my sites. No doubt you have read about and perhaps even tried the forum profile method of creating backlinks, but this is tedious and take a long time to create each link.

I have found a tool that can create anywhere from 200 to 10,000 backlinks on forums in a very short period of time (usually within 1 hour). The site is called 247backlinks and when you signup (free BTW), you get 1000 links credited to your account. You can use these right away without ever making a payment.

You can add additional funds from your Paypal account, however the minimum is $9.00 which will provide 9,000 links.

Do NOT go for the blog comment backlinks – these are overspamed blogs and aren’t worth anything, may even harm your site. Only go for the forum links.

Ensure you include several URLS from your target site, and another tip is to run your preferred keyword through Google’s keyword generator, and select all 50 suggested keywords and use these in your keyword list on the 247backlinks site. Google will see that the keywords are related and will still carry significant link juice. Better yet, the forum post will include a random keyword for the forum topic, and a different random keyword for the backlink itself.

Once you’ve got your links, create a Basic account at linklicious.me at $14.95 per month. You can then have all your your newly create links indexed at whatever pace you like (I go for 100 links per day per site personally). If you don’t perform this last step, Google will take forever to find your links – but maybe that’s what you want?.

Word of warning – this method can get you sandboxed or even cause issues with your host if abused, so be sensible, start slow and you’ll be amazed at the results you achieve!

ING Direct is a bank. It’s not pronounced ”-ing” like “bank-ing”, which is a common misconception. It’s prounouced by saying the letters: eye – en -gee. They are strictly online banking with no tellers or physical locations to conduct your money business.

So why even use it this type of bank?

First of all, ease of access. We’re online all the time, why not run our checking accounts, our mortgage, our investments while we’re surfing the Web? They also offer customer service via phone or mail if that’s your choice.

Secondly, all the choices they offer: Savings, Home Loans, Investing, Business Savings, and Retirement. Basically all of these assets ING offers with no fees, a competitive interest rate, and easy to use online forms so you can do almost everything yourself.

The website is easy to navigate and all you need to get started in an outside account to link your ING account to. This has been a great way to save for many people for two reasons: you can put your money where you can’t see it unless you’re online and it takes 1-2 days to get your money OUT of ING so it makes you think twice about transferring.

Customer service has alwasys been top notch, with answered emails and phone calls within hours, not days.

If only physical banks were this efficient!

There is a small office that focuses on better hearing for its customers via hearing aids and tests. Amdahl Hearing is actually a small company under the umbrella of Audigy Group, which is known for housing some of the most elite private practices across the country. They pride themselves on customer service and have won awards for their ability to serve the customer’s needs.

Amdahl recently became affiliated with Audigy Group, which is a huge accomplishment. I went to visit them a couple weeks ago to entertain the notion of hearing aids (I’m 33 years old and only have lost 18% of my hearing which is significant). Immediately upon walking in their office, I felt comfortable and at ease. The lobby is very nicely laid out with the option of cookies and coffee set up in an attractive array. The doctor and front desk receptionist were both impeccable in their manners. They spoke loudly and clearly and included the person I brought with me in the conversation.

The cost for hearing aids of course is extremely high, but after hearing my concerns, they looked into getting me a (cleaned up, non-gross) demo pair for a cheaper price. They seemed to want me to hear better no matter what, even if it meant taking a pay cut for themselves.

There are so many different kinds of hearing aids on the market today, but Amdahl/Audigy offer a private-label brand which is supposed to be top of the line. Amdahl spent a lot of time and money researching many different brands and decided on the AGX brand. Like I said, expensive but they offer a 3-year warranty included in the price, checkups anytime, and batteries for three years. plus one year interest free financing. 

After having all my questions answered and feeling very confident about the path they were suggesting, they let me try on a demo pair they had in the office. The difference was indescribable and they were just a non-fitted demo pair.

I know this medical expense isn’t for everyone, but after working with the Amdahl/Audigy Group, I’m confident and satisfied with the service they offer.
