When someone sends you a video with the title, 'Never trust a fart' do you open it or delete it straight away? It would seem that I am the sort of person that is inclined to hit play. Yes, I am male, and yes, I find farts funny. There it is, I said it, I don't think it will matter how old I am, the expelling of gas will always cause me to snigger.

For fellow fans of flatulence, this little liquidy nugget comes courtesy of Blankshooting - the haiku pervert - enjoy, just make sure you aren't eating when you hit play. » Read the rest of the entry..

Do you want to start a "Make Money Online" (MMO) blog? Yes? Well, let's be honest, you've missed the boat, that ship has sailed. The world wide web is now flooded with people trying to grab their slice of the pie. I remember hearing a saying once that "nothing original is ever created in a vacuum", and I think that saying can definitely be applied to the whole MMO niche. So with that in mind, here's the definitive list of tips you can follow to become a Make Money Online sheep.

The question of would I ever buy a car off eBay was asked of me the other day, and for once, I was actually stuck for an answer. At first I was in the 'Nahhh' corner, but the more I thought about it the more I started to warm to the idea. In many ways it's no different than finding a car in the trading post or something similar. I guess what puts me off, is the amount of money involved. For me, buying a car is a high involvement purchase, and going through that process on line still does not quite sit right with me. » Read the rest of the entry..

Do you have an undeveloped domain name just sitting there gathering dust? Personally, I have a couple that were purchased based on the "it seemed like a good idea at the time" principle. I'd tried parking them, but that wasn't working out for me.

So now I've decided to use one of the domains to create my own search engine, at least until I have time to develop the domain further. Keeping in mind that I literally spent 47 seconds on this, take a look at my uber search engine, you can check it out at VikingIdiot.com.

Whilst it may not look like the pinnacle of web design, you shouldn't expect too much from 47 seconds of hard labour, besides that, it's also bringing it some extra cash, from what would otherwise be a dormant domain. Want to know how I did it? » Read the rest of the entry..

If you want to read the story of one woman's unsuccessful attempt at a 2008 Darwin Award then read on.

"A Mount Gambier woman has warned the community against cleaning lawnmowers in bedrooms while smoking."

That's some pretty solid advice I would have thought.

"Ms Goldsworthy said she tipped the lawnmower over to clean it when fuel spilled out onto the floor. 'I dropped my cigarette from my mouth and the next moment there was this huge explosion,' she said."

Everyone has the occasional awkward moment. Me personally, I'd say I have more than my fair share, actually, I think I could probably be described as a social leper. If you see me, and my foot is not in my mouth, that's more an issue of flexibility rather than anything else. » Read the rest of the entry..

When it rains it pours, so here's an interesting way to make a little extra cash. Freebies4Webmasters.com will pay you £5 per month (which is almost $11 AUD) via paypal for displaying a banner ad on three individual pages on your site.

You will receive your free £10 payment for joining when your first banner is live on more than three pages of your site. After that you will receive monthly £5 payments by email if the banners are still on your site.

You can choose the pages you want to have the banner displayed on, and the only criteria seems to be that you need to have the banner on at least three separate pages in order to get paid. What does this mean? Well, if you're trying to monetize a site, chances are you're not making too much money from you "Contact Us" page or your "Disclosure" page, so now you can whack these banners on those pages and you can start earning around $10 per month, plus the £10 (around $21.50 AUD) sign up bonus.

My recommendation, head on over and jump aboard the gravvy train before it is no longer taking on new passengers.

Go join up Freebies4Webmasters.com now.

Edit: Here's a live example (see below) of the banner ad you are given to display. Basically, so long as I display this banner, plus two others (which are on other older posts), I'll get £5 per month. How easy is that??
