Looking for a Link Checker? Try Dr Link Check!
First, What is a Link Checker?
If you really asked that question, you’ve got a lot to learn about promoting your website!! Links are the juice which fuel your website’s popularity, and they are what Google (and the other search engines) feed on. More high quality links = better positions on SERPS. In addition to that, broken links can be quite detrimental to your website – they spoil the browsing experience of your visitors, who come looking for some information to your site. When they click on a link and it doesn’t open, or worse – if it leads them to a site with spam and malware, you won’t see them anywhere near your website ever again!
Dr Link Check – The best free Link Checker available online
There are dozens of services which charge you money to check the links of your website. Dr Link Check is not only free, it is WAY better than most of the chargeable services in the genre. The interface is truly simple, and squeaky clean. Unlike most other sites, Dr Link Check doesn’t ask you for any information – you don’t need to sign up to spam mailboxes, you don’t need to fill in surveys, and you don’t need to give out your contact information in order for them to send you a link checking report. You just enter the URL you’d like to check, and in a few seconds, the report is right on your screen!
Then why haven’t I heard about Dr Link Check before?
Because the site is brand new J It is actually in Beta testing, but is a fully functional Beta. Currently, the application allows you to check up to 1000 links.
Run your website through the tool – it’ll show you all the links on it – and will show you the current status too. If you find broken or bad links, head over to your website right away and change them. Not just your traffic, Google doesn’t like sites with bad links either. It is too much of a risk to run – when you can correct it for free using the Link Checker from Dr Link Check.

Bluedio Bluetooth Headset
Millions of people around the world have discovered the joys and convenience of using a Bluetooth headset. Are you one of them yet? If you are, you should read this post to find more about the world's most colorful and economical headsets. If you aren't, you should read this post and immediately head over and buy a Bluedio Bluetooth headset.
I won't talk much about regular bluetooth devices. However, Bluedio is one of the world's most economical devices - at under $ 10, and comes in terrific colors - like Red, Blue, Orange, Black, and Yellow - to match the color of your phone - or even of your outfit for the day!
The Bluedio Bluetooth headset works perfectly with all Apple devices - including the Mac, the iPhone, iPad, the iPod too. Usually you don't find most headsets compatible with Apple devices. So this is an added bonus. That is in addition to the regular companies like Samsung and LG and the rest. You can find out more features from the company website here.
There are dozens of reasons why you should use a Bluetooth headset instead of speaking through your phone while multi-tasking - the most obvious of which is your safety. Once you get hooked (pun intended) to the device, you will get hooked for life! It is immensely convenient. And the Bluedio device gives you several hours of talk time on a single charge. Try it!

Celebrate Angry Birds’ Birthday with new stuff!
Over 500 Million people have fallen in love with this amazing phenomenon called Angry Birds, and I'm one of them. What started as a small gaming company with a quirky idea is today one of the most recalled brand in the world, spawning dozens of me-too's and hundreds of partnerships with companies across genres.
And it has been two years since this most unexpected game took the whole world by storm. Happy Birthday Angry Birds, and congratulations, Rovio!
It is quite difficult to sustain momentum - especially if the popularity goes viral - like it did in this case. However, Rovio - in spite of not having much experience in the field, did amazingly well, and kept on fueling the fire. With great new innovations, newer levels, more exciting products, and a foray into multi-brand co-branded deals, they made sure that people kept talking about those crazy birds and the grunting pigs.
There is new stuff on offer on the second birthday of Angry Birds, and the best place to check that out is on the exclusive Barnes and Noble Angry Birds Store. From add-ons to your games (which give you more levels and more evil-pig-destroying shoot-outs), to toys and plush that your kids (and you also) will love, car toys, apparel, and much more, you will feast your eyes on the new collection. And with Christmas around the corner, these make for some amazing gifting options too. Check out the products which have special deals, and you will save some money in the bargain too.
And yes, do wish the Angry Birds a very happy birthday the next time you switch on your iPhone / Andriod device / Computer!

LocalPhone – Much cheaper than Skype!!
I'm actually surprised that I did not know this earlier. Till today, I was of the opinion that Skype is the cheapest communication method in the world. And surprise - there are several which are cheaper, and are of a much better quality even.
LocalPhone wins hand down in the battle of the low-cost communication service providers online. This is not just a promotional article - it is very well researched, and for sure LocalPhone is the cheapest form of communication - unless you have a company funded mobile which you don't need to pay for 
Take a look a the price and comparison list here - http://www.localphone.com/prices/comparison and you will agree also.
One more surprising factor is that the company is based in England - not in our USA, where everything is meant to be the cheapest and the best! Usually British companies have a much higher standard of operations - not to discount companies from other countries, but in general it is an accepted fact! LocalPhone is no different. They are passionate about being the lowest
cost phone operators around, and they do a fabulous job of keeping customers happy. For instance, a $ 15 recharge would get us 1500 minutes to call India, while Skype gives only about 163 mins! Major difference, right? This holds true for all other countries in the world as well. To call the USA, $ 15 gives a massive 3000 minutes!
In LocalPhone's own words,
“With Localphone you can make cheap international calls at local prices from your cell phone, landline or computer.
There are no monthly fees or hidden charges and you can re-charge your balance from as little as $1. Plus, you can try it for free!”
The only cheaper method of communication is to get a country based calling card, but for any other purpose - especially to call multiple countries around the world, there is no better alternative. I checked out if the company is compromising on quality in order to offer these prices. So I read up on several forums and Answers sites, and found that surprisingly, people mentioned that LocalPhone has a better quality than Skype in general.
Joining is for free, and the minimum load is as low as just a dollar. In fact, the first call can be enjoyed free, you don't even need to load in money for that. And for all those Android phone lovers out there, there is even an Android App, from which you can make calls at the same prices. So move over Skype, LocalPhone is here!!
Check it out.

Affiliate Marketing made easy!
Anyone who's been making money online will know how really difficult it is to REALLY make money online. There are too many methods, and way too much madness in the online world, and getting to find the right opportunity is the trickiest part of the whole game.
It is a known fact that the best place to start making an online career is through Affiliate Marketing, but which company to choose? Who will provide us with the tools? And who will partner us all through till we start realizing our dreams online? Running through thousands of companies online, getting their affiliate sign up processes done, getting trained in their products and services, and then installing the codes to promote, is too much of work with very little potential profit. That is also the primary reason why people quit from affiliate marketing before even they seriously get started.
That is where LinkShare comes in.
The idea is fundamentally quite brilliant. They have an all-in-one free subscription program which gives us access to all the hundreds of affiliate programs managed by them. Some of the internet's largest and most profitable affiliate programs are managed by them, and they have a fabulous system in place. Once we sign up (like I said, its free!), we get access to all those affiliate programs, and we can apply for the ones we like the best. Usually it is just a one click deal, and the application gets forwarded to the respective company. Each advertiser has his set of terms, and if our blog / site matches what they have in mind, the publisher gets approved. Once that happens, we have access to the entire set of tools - including banners, promotional items, and the publisher area of that particular client with useful information.
What caught my attention is that some clients refuse to accept our blogs! Yes, I tried applying for AOL (which is one of the advertisers on the site) and they refused! Refused ME!!! 
So obviously the program is good. And the other ones who approved happened quite fast too - just a few hours later, I had mails in my inbox mentioning that i'm accepted for the program and that I can start generating affiliate links to promote.
If you are looking to make a career as an affiliate marketer, LinkShare sure looks to be a great option. I'm new yet, but since the subscription is free, we aren't losing anything, are we? And yes, the payments are all handled cumulatively by LinkShare, which means you don't need to wait to reach the threshold of each company separately!! Affiliate Heaven, right? Check our LinkShare here. I'm sure you'll be hooked.

Skype Review
If you are wondering why The Review Site is reviewing Skype - which is by far, the world's most popular VOIP calling solution, we have a great reason!
Nothing we do on this site is on a whim.
Last year, it was noted that about 6% of the world's international voice calling went through Skype - and that means billions of minutes of airtime! There was a truckload of business generated for them, and more importantly, there was huge interest piqued
in the world of telecom. Skype also went ahead and launched Skype for iPhone, iOS, for Android, and as a standalone Skype Phone.
However, in the recent months, Skype's new updates have not been received well, and there have been reports of several bugs, and an overall decrease in stability and quality of video calling. If you are wondering if you should trust your business telecom needs to Skype (or if you would like to shift out of your telephone calling onto Skype), read on. Here are some reviews from the world's top experts in the field of VOIP.
1. Information about Skype from its own website
2. Skype Review from CNet
3. Review of Skype Phone from USA Today
4. Skype for iPhone review from PC Mag
5. Skype user reviews from Ciao (a Microsoft company)
We hope you find these reviews useful!

Compare Insurance
Insurance is one of the primary drivers of world economy today, and is a market which is ever changing! As soon as one company changes the specifications of a particular policy, every other provider will follow suit, and in the end, there really is not much difference between the different providers' offerings.
Honestly, there are only two things we should be worried when we get an insurance policy - the premium to be paid, and the customer service-ability of the provider.
The best way in today's times to get an insurance policy is to get it online - and believe me, there is a serious difference in premium to be paid! Third party sites now offer us compare features, and that is the best way to see which company gives us the best Auto Insurance, Car Insurance, Health Insurance, Home Insurance, Pet Insurance, and more. Here are the best of these compare sites - we hope you find them useful!
1. Insurance Quotes from Go Compare
2. Compare Insurance providers using Money Super Market's tools
3. Lots of freebies when you use Tesco's Insurance Comparison page
4. Car Insurance and more from Insurance.com
5. Compare Insurance Quotes with Net Quote
The good thing is that all of these sites offer comparisons for free, and they don't even need your contact details! No worry about spam either

Free WordPress Themes
Yes, I love WordPress! And anyone who really does not like the platform must be a little off center. There is no better way to host a website, and there is no easier way to promote your business.
The best part of WordPress is the themes, and there are literally millions of them floating around online. The big businesses can afford to have custom made themes designed exclusively for them.

So how do you get your hands on genuinely free, good WordPress themes? From the Review Site, of course! Here are some of the best links for you to get top class, free WordPress themes. Binge!!
1. The first place for all WP users - Free WordPress themes from WordPress direct!

PS - If you like the theme of this site, it is WP Cult and is free also.
