Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool Alternatives

By Reboot | May 11, 2008

Has Overture tool vanished ? people who are depended on Overture went haywire and still hoping it will come back soon. Recently I read on internet that the tool is still active but due to heavy traffic users are experiencing timeouts. No doubt that this tool has provided an invaluable service till now and Overture is not the only tool does this. There are few other tools too, I have listed few alternatives who are looking as an alternatives for Overture.

1. This is a product of Trellian, the makers of Submit Wolf software. This works pretty similar to overture, looks very reliable and professional. Give it a try !!

2. Google’s adwords tool is exceptional. Play around with this to see the magic it does. The only thing I didnt found useful is it doesn’t give search volume in numbers.

3. Again Google is back with its another product Google Trends, this tool will give you demographic stats aswell. But again, no search count stats.

Thats all pretty much from me today :) ..

Google Sky Alter-Ego !!

By Reboot | May 11, 2008

Star gazing has never been so easy with internet. Google expanded horizons beyond earth by adding a sky tool to Google Earth and enabled everyone to explore stars for free. Its almost after an year Google released web version for internet users (www.google.com/sky).

With no suprises Microsoft announced recently about their new product Worldwide Telescope. Users will be able to zoom in much deeper into outer space images. The data is collected from different telescopes including Hubble telescope and uses Microsoft’s Visual Experience Engine to . The initial release would be in 2nd quarter of 2008. Something that always keeps me wondering about Microsoft, they copy lot of ideas from others.. !! They never have ideas of their own. Atleast lets see if this new product is better than Google sky.

Now the fun part. What if you can’t go to Moon. You can send your name to Moon Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. see the below link.. The deadline is June 27, 08.  You will get a participation certificate as well, kids will love this !!

Best place to buy domain names

By Reboot | May 10, 2008

It was back in 2001 when buying domain names were completly an alien subject for me. My friend advised me about goddady.com, he is a big fan of godaddy and can’t stop praising how cheap they sell. As a matter of fact, their prices are always cheap, easy to transfer, easy to manage domains and the list goes on. You can save atleast $1 - $2 with discount coupon codes for godaddy on internet very easily (this is the best part). 
Godaddy

 Another one I got to mention is namecheap.com I started into namecheap when I bought a domain and wanted to save transfer fee. As I started using namecheap I loved it morethan godaddy. Its domain management is easy even for first timers. It has earned good fan base because of its simplicity. With each domain purchase/transfer you get one year free Whois guard subscription and after $2.88/yr (compared to $6.99 with godaddy) 

As I started using more of these two services. I didn’t like the series of steps to checkout in godaddy… the list of all products pages, offers and what not.. huh !! The private registration that I got for free when I bought bunch of domains are sticked to my domains and godaddy pushed me to renew it aswell without giving me an option to renew just my domain names. I hated at this point how my little savings made earlier on domain names with coupon codes were gone in wind with extra premium.

I didn’t cared if namecheap has coupon codes or not. I tried on internet to look for some but never able to find one.  Something to ponder about !! Looks like they dont need to boost sales as they might have enough sales.

Godaddy is still ok as long as I’m watchful what it is doing to me. So, friends Go Name cheap !!!!
