How to Turn a Free CMS into our Own Virtual Goldmine
Haydn M. Matthews
With the advent of Content Management Systems CMS, internet marketing has taken on a whole new meaning for those sharp enough to spot the opportunity to cash in on the never ending hunger of internet users for more information. Content is king, and the easier it is for providers to communicate, update and manage information, the bigger and more profitable the kingdom becomes.
Updating content was once a very time-consuming and laborious task. Editing and formatting was all done offline, then uploaded and tested online to ensure that all worked as required. Content Management Systems put an end to this by allowing content to be added instantly online through comprehensive editors incorporated directly into the applications themselves. Copy, Paste, Preview and Save – Voila! Content is online in a flash and dynamically produced on demand.
With updating and managing content made so easy, new opportunities abound for the astute netrepreneur who is able to readily identify a specific subject of interest and exploit it fully through targeted articles, product and service features, affiliate links and dynamically generated pay-per-click search feeds.
As an example of how I have taken the subjects of horse racing, football betting and casino systems and turned them into an impressive monthly income take a look at http://www.laytheodds.com
The process was simple. I installed a free CMS http://www.mamboserver.com and filled it with keyword rich product and service features, articles, reviews and directory links. And would you believe, the whole site took me just one day to complete from scratch, and an hour or so each week to update.
What would have once involved separate scripts to manage my members, links, mailing list, and advertisers, is now incorporated fully into one easy to use CMS with a comprehensive administrator backend.
What I have done is easily replicated. I did the same at http://www.123webmarketing.biz and http://www.tradingbureau.com – with each of the sites targeting specific subjects. With the tremendous income potential of closely related affiliate programs, click bank products, and the absolute magic of google adsense, these types of sites are a virtual gold mine. Easy to produce, easy to update and manage, search engines love them, and they make money. What more could you ask for
Free content is everywhere. Take a look at http://www.articlecity.com for subject-specific articles to use in your new CMS. The key is to focus on 1 or 2 subjects and tie them in to related affiliate programs and advertisers, seamlessly incorporating everything into the overall site plan and design for profit.
If you have not yet discovered the power of a CMS then you are definitely missing out on a whole realm of income possibilities.

Across the High Sierra
I have always enjoyed long road trips across the country, perhaps because they have all the elements of a Homeric adventure.After completing basic training for the Army, I was ready for assignment to my permanent duty station.I was directed to travel from Norfolk, Virginia to Monterrey, California, so I flew home to Wisconsin and prepared to drive the rest of the way.My 1964 Dodge Polara had been purchased for $125 during my last year in high school, and I naively anticipated the adventure of driving nearly 2,500 miles across the continent.As I crossed the Minnesota border early on the first morning out, it occurred to me that I had just driven the farthest distance of my entire life.This was also to be my first time completely alone, and I savored the thought of the next week spent on the open road.
Bingo – Good for the Mind
When we think of bingo, genius and brainpower don’t always spring to mind; these attributes have tended to be reserved for poker and other games of skill and luck. The image of a grandparent sitting in a community hall with a cup of tea and a card of bingo does not lend itself to the intrigue of psychology and mental agility. However, according to a study by the University of Southampton’s Psychology Department, bingo may not be the trivial pastime many would take it for. Researchers there insist that bingo keeps the mind sharp and equate this as especially important to people as they get older.

Silent Macau
A failed or neglected city springs to mind when walking around Macau during the day time. Around the outskirts of the Islands the doors of modern buildings never seem to open. Hotel restaurants tend to sole customers with reluctance: public gardens remain empty except for the lone tramp rooting around in the bins, roads remain unsullied with tyre tracks and the silence is loud all around. Inside and up the hill cracked and uneven pathways run along to meet the next, weeds compliment the falling cement on graying walls. Unpainted fences balance precariously around crazy paved basketball pitches whilst graffiti gives color to an otherwise drab setting.
Journey to Haypress Creek
It was the end of my first year as a graduate student, and my personal stock had risen somewhat due to long hours of hard work.Now a fabulous opportunity presented itself in the form of a research project in the northern Sierras in a locality known as Haypress Creek, which fell into my lap as a result of shifting academic fortunes.The hapless fellow who had been slated to go began an academic tailspin despite the initial excitement generated in the department by his excellent undergraduate grades.Meanwhile, my long hours of diligent work that first semester, in contrast to undergraduate grades that had not only failed to generate excitement among the faculty, but had gained grudging admittance on a probationary status, captured the slot.Good, graduate school had been an all-or-nothing proposition on which everything was gambled on making a success of the first semester.

The Fine Print Behind Online Gambling Bonus Offers
If you have never opened an account with an online casino, poker room, or sports book you may be wondering if the bonus offers are legitimate. We are all aware of the wisdom in the sayings, “If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is” or “There is no such thing as a free lunch”. So what’s the catch When a casino offers you $100-$1000 in free money should you dismiss it, assuming that there are all sorts of strict requirements, making it too difficult to achieve the pay-out The quick answer is no. These offers are for real and in most cases the required terms and conditions to receive the pay-out are typically quite easy to achieve. Some are as simple as making small minimum deposit of $50 to $100. Some require, in addition to minimum deposit, a minimum, but achievable, level of play.
