Google Chrome EULA in question?

Google Chrome EULA has been confusing some of the bloggers recently, check out what the fuss is about at Zedomax.Net.

In a recent post over at Gizmodo about the Google Chrome’s End User License Agreement (EULA), Google supposedly owns everything that you “do” on the Google Chrome.

Of course, we think that the EULA was just worded vaguely but probably didn’t mean to mean that Google is going to own everything you do on the Google Chrome browser.

If you are one of those lazy bloggers with a 60″ LCD TV hooked up to your PC in your bedroom and you blog on your bed, you will definitely need to get one of these Fish Handheld Mouses that can be used without a mouse surface.

The Fish is a revolutionary new hand held mouse that will change the way we use computers.

Features:

With no complicated set up or software, The Fish simply plugs into any available USB port and is ready to use.

Being hand held, surfing the Internet, playing games, designing or editing becomes a pain free pleasure.

Without the need for a flat surface, The Fish is ideal for use with a laptop computer on trains or planes, where room is restricted.

The Fish is also the perfect computer controller for business presentations.

A lot of tech bloggers (I won’t name them here) have been bashing how crappy WiMAX is when they haven’t even used it or don’t even know what the chip manufacturers are doing.

Well, finally here’s proof.  At least if Intel is thinking of new CPUs with WiMAX support, it’s going to explode!

I am going to get one of these cool UMPC with WiMax embedded.

Here’s this week’s wrap up of Web2.0 companies and ramblings over at .Net:

Craigslist needs to update their graphics… Google Adsense will be available for RSS feeds, more money for bloggers.

Jobirn, a new type of job referral network launched. The Dot Com Boom history of miserable failures can be seen here including webvan.

Free Adsense stickers yey! Google gets sued for “crawling”. Track the most popular URL twitted about with Twitturly.

Viacom is suing Google and they are super greedy for money! Xoost search engine launched, looks very promising.

More innovative scam marketing on the internet…

Check out video of Twitter’s beginnings.  Techcrunch posts a post with NOTHING.  Pizza Hut launches their Adobe Flex app, very impressive.

Don’t know AJAX?  Check out AJAXDaddy, who can help you.

You can’t miss tour of Google’s San Francisco headquarters.

VHi All,

This week we will be featuring review of affiliate programs from AdTech 2008 and try out 6 affiliate programs we hand pick and test them out over the next 2 months.

(AdTech is a tradeshow that covers the latest trends in online marketing, advertising, publishing, and social media.)

For the reviews, we actually went out and hand picked the smaller or less known affiliate companies among the bloggers, who provide better customer support while giving you better affiliate payouts.

We are also planning to gather about 200 bloggers over at Zedomax.Net to launch a big blog/affiliate network so stay tuned.

So far, we got about 50 bloggers so if you want to get in early, make sure to shoot us an e-mail at zedomax [at] gmail.com and benefit from our network traffic, SEO, and affiliate programs. (Basically in the long run, we will get better payouts from affiliate/advertising companies as a big network of blogs.)

At the end of all the video reviews, we will have a complete breakdown on who’s who of affiliate programs at AdTech 2008.

First up at bat is CX Digital Media.

Here’s a video interview with Winkie Lee, affiliate manager of CX Digital Media I met at the show:

CX Digital Media focuses on high payout CPA affiliate programs, 2% publisher referral commissions, and offer Net-15 terms. Basically, you can write blog posts about any products you like and make commission if someone signs up for the product. (CPA = Cost per Action)

I found they have pretty good products, here’s a screenshot on some of their offers:

Although I am not too keen on offers like Bingo and Poker, I do like offers like $28 for Wall Street Journal and $250 Gas Card, which can be both very useful for the readers of your blogs.

What I like about the dashboard after you sign up for CX Digital Media is that you have a 1-on-1 relationship with the Affiliate Manager. In my case, it’s Winkie Lee and I can IM her when I need help:

I really like this as I have tried other big companies like CJ.com, and they don’t have this type of personal support. Besides, CJ.com is already too competitive and the payouts are low unless you are making a lot of money already.

Here’s some free/discount offers you can take advantage of and also help me make some money:

$99 for 1 year of Wall-Street Journal

Free $250 Gas Card for a little survey

Get a Free BLOW Energy Drink

You can sign up for a CX Digital Media affiliate program here.
(Make sure to write, “Winkie Lee” under the Notes section so Winkie will be your affiliate manager.)

By signing up through me and also joining Zedomax Network, you will be able to take advantage of even higher payouts later down the road.

There’s also a $750 bonus for any affiliates who can generate more than $7500 within the first 30 days of signing up.

More great affiliate program reviews coming soon so stay tuned!

Yey, we just got banned officially from StumbleUpon, it took them a long freakin’ time to do so. (at least the Digg guys were a little bit smarter)

So, what are we going to do? Nothing, we weren’t getting that much traffic from SU anyways. (at least lately, that’s why we are sellin’ off all our 300+ SU accounts, that’s right folks, we “control” the black market of SU, even SU engineers can’t figure it out because we are good hackers)

How to do this?

Basically, we make around 20-30 new accounts every week and get everyone at Zedomax to stumble like crazy.

We will tell you all about how to hack SU soon.

The weird thing is? We actually “helped” StumbleUpon grow like crazy with all our 1 Million+ stumbles. Every time we stumble, we are helping SU get more traffic. But I guess they made $60 million off eBay and we got nothing for helpin’. (At least help us sell some accounts for God sakes!)

We got in there before all those bloggers even knew about stumbling and helped them grow but in return we get our site banned.

It’s okay though, we are not bitter, SU people “were” better than Digg guys. They don’t totally ban you like Digg’s Kevin dictatorship BS.

That’s right folks, if you feel bitter about someone who just whopped your asses for last 2 years or so and made you see zedomax.com on SU, I apologize, SU was never hacker-proof. Always blame on the developer, not the hacker! :p

Boom shakalaka baby, we whopped your asses for too long, now we are gonna ban you too.

It’s actually great that we got banned today, it will be an honorable day to remember as a professional hacker. We got more traffic than the whole last month because of this incident.

Anyways, we will be posting more great posts instead of us rambling about our web hacks.

This is a little traffic overview so we know where the heck Zedomax will be next year… Well, it looks pretty good doesn’t it? Since last July or so, our traffic has been growing steadily and we have no idea how we did it. Well, one thing that might have helped is that we started blocking all trackbacks from splogs. Before July last year, I didn’t even know what a “splog” is but now I do… Anyways, we will actually be starting to do some real work instead of messing around all the time.

Here’s another tip for any bloggers that might help:

Try to post 30+ posts per day. The more posts you post, the more search terms you will get back from Google couple months down the road. Of course, you could do 1 post per day with details but I simply prefer to do “speed-blogging“, which is basically trying to find the best new tech stuff as fast as possible as post them as quickly as you can.

You see, what I’ve realized with Google is that they rank you higher if you are one of the first to talk about it. People talk about the algorithm but I think algorithm serves as foundation for Google but they have “hidden algorithms” you can predict only by experience.

Here’s the proof. When Google announced their Knol Project, I quickly made bunch of posts about it and Zedomax is still on the first page on Google for the term “Knol Project” AND “Knols Project‘. (Heck, I am even trying to sell knolproject.net back to Google for $100K! Not that they’d buy it but I figure I’d make some funny blog soon on it…)

I am not a SEO expert by any means other than I try to hack anything more than anyone else. Proof?

I tried to hack Digg couple years ago, the only way Digg could deal with me is to bann me but THAT was a lot of fun. But I did get to be the fastest Digger in the world which is awesome!

I did hack StumbleUpon couple years ago too, they didn’t ban me but my account is really really slow and it’s weird so I don’t use it anymore. The weird thing is, I don’t even use it anymore and I am ranked #4 for most pages stumbled out of those millions of people using it! (The true reason StumbleUpon didn’t ban me was because my hacks were actually boosting their web traffic! StumbleUpon has lots of loopholes for hackers but that’s why they grow because hackers promote their website!)

Now I got tired of hacking sites so I made a my own social networking site, SiteHoppin.com. I think I’ve learned enough from hacking other major sites so I am going to try to implement security measures used during those periods.

The greatest part about hacking another website is that you realize how to protect your own website. FBI probably hires more hackers to protect their data than kids out of college.

Technology can be so fragile these days. I remember fighting so many hackers that tried to do a group DoS (Denial of Service) attack from Poland and Korea. Those hackers are real good but too bad, they are not coming back anymore. (I enjoy fighting hackers, it’s really fun…)

My blogger friend Gyutae is having a contest for T-shirts and $100 in cash. All you gotta do is pick the right winner and write a blog post about it. (It seems like there’s so many contests these days, you could probably make a living just entering all of them)

My vote goes to Gyutae’s Winning the Web since he’s always coming up with new contests. He’s blog got a big 200 RSS reader jump from his contest on JohnChow.com and JohnCow.com. (Amazing!) (You should take look at Bloggin-Ads.com by Mike too, he picked up about the same in about the same period! I think these 2 bloggers are really growing their blogs explosively. I remember when Zedomax started out almost a year and half ago and I had 200 RSS readers in like 1 year, not just couple months.)

Why am I posting this? Well, honestly, I can’t even afford a T-shirt right now as I invested all my money in SiteHoppin.com. (Well, for the beers I need to drink to be drunk to develop the site…right, it’s like the Drunken style in Kung Fu, you can’t master the art without actually putting yourself in it) I wanna win a T-shirt so I can go wear it proudly in downtown San Francisco. (j/k… I’ve been in front of a computer for so long for last couple months, I don’t even know the last time I went shopping…)

The real funny part is picture from TylerCruz here:

• Follow a set posting schedule
  Following a set schedule will help your readers connect to your blog and learn when to expect new posts. This usually means more subscribers to your blog.
• Provide great content
  In the end, it’s all about great content. Without it, all of your marketing efforts will fall short of meeting your goals for feed subscribers. Make this a priority and the subscriptions will come.

In the end, I think Gyutae is winning the web by far. You can tell by looking at his blog and the number of subscribers he has picked up within the last month or so. This blog should be exploding by next month if it isn’t already.

I am trying to promote our new site, SiteHoppin’. If there’s any bloggers who’d like 20 free pages on the One Buck Wiki worth $200 (when the price goes back up to $10), simply write a blog post about our beta testing on SiteHoppin.com and email me at zedomax [at] gmail.com
