Two Handy Websites

Here’s a couple of sites that may come in handy some day. One is free, both are very useful.

This one creates those ‘loading’ animated gifs you see when you are waiting for things to load on a web page… they don’t really do anything, but they give your visitors something to look at while the page is loading…

You can create your own animated gif’s or you can use one that is already created by other users.

And… for those who decide that having an audio or podcast on your site is not enough, or you want a fast accurate way to transcribe your audios, try this service that allows you upload your podcast audio and have it transcribed in a hurry:

Keeping Up With Trends

There are 2 websites that I have been keeping an eye on for a while and I think they deserve your attention now because one is ready now and one is almost ready to roll out.

The first is SynthaSite.

SynthaSite is the brain-child of a South African firm, incubeta.

What is Synthasite? Simply put, it’s a drag and drop affiliate website builder. Synthasite was built in order to build fast, reliable affiliate sites using amongst others, eBay, Yahoo API s’ with more to follow.

These sites are targeted directly at a certain product or service. It’s a site you definiety want to bookmark and while you’re there, sign up for the second round of Beta Testing.

Website #2:

There’s been a lot of talk lately in Internet Marketing inner circles about ‘the long tail’.

If you have heard that phrase and don’t know what it’s about or have never heard it but are curious what the big deal is and why I’m telling you about it, there’s a site you need to see- it’s right on the cutting edge of the long tail phenom.

http://www.hittail.com/

They have a great video that explains the long tail concept in terms that are so simple, anyone can finally understand what the big deal is:

They also have a free service to help you start to take advantage of the long tail concept.

Yep, it’s free ;-)
