Joined Twitter - I am late but not the last to join

I finally decided to join twitter.
After everyone I know is active there, I figured it was time for me to join.

What got me to join? A post (don't remember by whom) that explained the business values of Twitter. I will try it out and see how it works for me.

In the mean time, you are invited to follow me on Twitter @ http://twitter.com/ohadgliksman

Onslaught - a new tower game

Got some time to spare?
Here's a new cool flash game by the name of onslaught.
Onslaught is a tower defence strategy game like the ones Shock Defence, Desktop Tower Defense and Flash Circle TD. Although it holds the basic logic of these type of games, it is the one with most features that I’ve ever seen…

Firstly you don’t have to play on a single map like in the others, instead there are 7 different maps. Secondly, it has an improved tower upgrade mechanism. You can upgrade damage, rate of fire, and range individually. Lastly, the towers can perform combo attacks, meaning two or more towers can attack stronger if you place them on a correct pattern. In addition to these great features, you can use shortcuts for almost everything which makes things easier. The first 100 levels are not so hard, but it starts being a nightmare after 100…

What are you waiting for? Go play Onslaught

rssHugger - A new service for bloggers

Here's a new directory I've signed up to.
rssHugger is a new service for us bloggers offering to publish our rss feeds.
To sign up to rssHugger, you need to either pay a one time fee of $20 or just write a review of the site. As you can see, I have chosen the 2nd option :)

I think the model of offering a free service for a review is a real good one and is suited for bloggers.

Are you signed up there already?

First impression - Rubicon Project

I've signed up for the beta of the Rubicon project.
If you haven't heard of it by now, the Rubicon is a self-optimizing platform for websites offering ads from multiple ad networks such as Google Adsense, CPX, Azoogle and Shopzilla.
I have implemented their ad solution in my blog on the top header 468x60 and the left 160x600 banners. They currently support only a small number of placements, but I'm sure their list will expand in the near future.
My current feedback on their service is that so far, only a small number of networks show ads on my blog and the interface while well designed still lacks a number of important features.
Having said all this, I have a good feeling that once mature, this product will enable site owners to maximize their sites' income in a significant manner.

Other products claiming to offer a similar service (I haven't tried them out yet) are:
RightMedia direct
Pubmatic

Have you tried any of these or Rubicon?

Parking my domains at SEDO

I just parked 7 of my domains at SEDO. if you are not familiar with it, then SEDO is a domain parking service that allows you to generate revenue from your inactive domains. I checked several domain parking services and narrowed my choice to 2 companies. The first was parked.com which seemed very impressive but insisted that I park at least 10 domains there. The second one was SEDO. They allowed me to setup my account very quickly and even generated a few cents on the first day of activity.

The domains I've parked there are:
babyguideonline.org
banner4me.org
giftphones.org
h2visa.net
newlcdtv.com
rigntone.net
rigntone.org


What do you think of these domains?

dj2.org - my new domain

I just bought a new domain from GoDaddy. Their buying process is simply amazing from a marketing point of view. In every step, a new promotion or relevant special offer is displayed.
After going through all the required steps, I was asked to enter my payment details. One of the fields in the payment page is a promo code. I quickly searched Google for a "godaddy promo code" and found several sites offering valid codes, one of which entitled me to a 30% discount for any purchase over 25$.
So, next time you see a promo code or coupon field in the payment page, just run a search to see if you can find one.

You are invited to visit the new domain @ http://www.dj2.org

Google hot trends

Take a look at Google's hot trends and find out the hottest 100 searches in the US right now.
All that's left now is to find a way to monetize it.

I started adding these words to my generic adwords campaigns to see if these keywords will convert. Can you figure out another way?
