Free Web Hosting
With all the hosting packages that are out there and all the extras they offer you if you're not tech minded (just like myself) it can get extremely confusing, and it's easy to get bogged down.
I have found a BRILLIANT free hosting company, they have everything that you need whether you have your own domain name or whether you want to use their sub-domain. You have sql, php, file management, e-mail etc; Basically everything you would expect from a host and all for free.
Even though you can get your own domain name, you can easily use thier sub domains. And it's not an intrusive sub-domain, so you get http://yourdomain.890m.com. How unobtrusive is that? They have great support and the control panel is very simple to understand and use. They even advise you as to the best FTP software to use (if you don't know what FTP is, it's basically a way to transfer your files to your hosting account).
The only thing that you may find a drawback is that if you want free hosting for many sites, you can only set up one every 24 hours, but that's a small price to pay for something you are getting for free.
The link you require if you would like more information (and don't forget it's FREE even to open an account) is http://www.000webhost.com
It's truly worth your while visiting!

Spin Success, my opinion
If you are a marketer, I am sure you have come across Spin Success. It costs $29.99 per month.
I claims that it blasts your urls to all the major search engines and you will see an increase in sales and hits to your site.
When you join up, you enter your url. You will then receive an e-mail with your details, and where your url was blasted to. You will also receive free credits to the value of $100 to two small search engines, where you can bid on key words.
I have to say, when I logged in, the main focus on the site, seems NOT to be the service they provide, but in getting you to get referrals for their service.
That being said, their support service is very poor. You enter a ticket and it takes FAR too long to be answered. If the service was free it wouldn't matter too much when they answered, however when you are a customer, and answer withing 24 hours is not unreasonable. In fact, you don't even get an e-mail to let you know you ticket has been entered, but your ticket is actually there (I made a note of the ticket number).
Now, lets' ignore these two let downs, and focus on what they claim, visitors, increase in sales to your website, or helping you to build your downline. This is one heck of a claim and has yet to be proven in my experience. In fact I have had more success from traffic exchanges and safelists.
Just as an added note, you have to submit a ticket to close your account, which I have of course duly submitted, but I have yet to hear one iota back.

Skype... It's an absolute gift!
I am living in the Netherlands, but I am actually Irish (Dublin born and bred). I am married to a Dutch man.
I was spending an absolute fortune ringing home (yes I still call Ireland home, no matter where I am in the world, Ireland will always be home). I had been told about skype so many times, but I just never got around to getting it.
I am so glad that I did. I save an absolute fortune. All you need is a microphone and speaker set, they range from cheap (0.99) for a basic earphone and headset microphone, to the 100's. Depending on what you want to use skype for, should determine what kind of equipment you get.
Skype to skype calls are free. So basically if you are in the UK you can call anyone you know who also has a skype connection, whether they are your neighbor or a cousin who has emigrated to Australia. You can also instant message with the people you are talking to, or to someone who is on another call. One of the best features (well this is my opinion) is the conference call facility, I have often been chatting to my mom and sisters for hours, all together. It's truly a great feature!!
You can also call anyone who does not have a skype connection for a very low cost to their landline. Usually for the 0.01 per minute. You can send text messages, you can also call mobile/cell phones, but this does cost quiet a bit more, usually 0.24 per minute.
So all in all skype is well worth opening an account with. I would seriously recommend it. Just type skype into your search engine, or got to www.skype.com It's free and one of the best ways to connect with your friends, family and business contacts

Google Apps
With the internet and websites becoming more and more accessible for your average person, one great way of getting you own site is via Google.
Google is by far the most popular search engine, and it's popularity has not waned, despite how big it has become.
Google has also made creating your own website as simple as using Word. You have two options. You can get a free website with will have googlepages in the domain name. For example I have created a website on debt and it's domain name is
http://helpyourselfoutofdebt.googlepages.com/
To avail of this kind of website just open and Gmail account and attached to that account you will have a variety of programs at your disposal, one being a page creator. Its ultra easy to use, but it also comes with great instructions.
Your second option, if you want a business site for example is to use Google apps. Here you have various packages suitable for schools, charities, small business etc; Its' incredible reasonable, and you have everything you would expect from any provider, e-mail, hosting, domain name with two distinguishable feature:
1. It's really easy to use (and comes with step by step instructions)
2. You can also save your documents online. Google has word processing, spreadsheets etc; and you can access them where ever you are in the world.
With this paid option you get your own domain name, and as part of your url you can use the domain name of your choice, www.domainnam.com and when people visit the site they will see the domain along the lines of www.domainname.com/a.googlepages.com
but your site is directly accessible from your chosen url.
All in all Google have pretty much thought of everything. Currently there is only one draw back, and that is in relation to the FTP and SQL file access, and that is, that you don't have it yet. However if you are not tech savvy (a bit like my good self), you will be able to find your way around the Google Applications with ease, and their FAQs and help are very in depth. They even have forums to assist you.
So if you are looking for something that is easy and manageable just type google apps into you search engine and sign up.

A decent Manual Traffic Exchange
Everyone will try and sell you traffic. There are some great traffic exchanges out there, and are well worth joining up.
Recently I discovered http://www.trafficera.com and it is one of the best traffice exchanges I have come across in recent times.
They have paid memberships, and like any good traffic exchange they also have free memberships. In all honestly the free membership is well worth getting. The paid membership is reasonable and gives you those little extras!
Like all traffic exchanges you surf for credits, and you can assign an url to use up the credits. For each page visit you receive credits which convert into seconds. You will usually get 3 seconds, but as you surf you get bonus time credits, which all add up, and you can have a healthy amount of credits for surfing for a short period of time. You can also gather clocks and tokens, which have different advertising values. So in principle it's just like any other manual surf exchange.
However where http://www.trafficera.com does distinguish it's self is in it's member area. You can join an interest group, and message members. It's like a surf exchange meets a social network, and it's well worth a visit, so if you want to join, just visit http://www.trafficera.com
you won't regret it.
