Redirect Checker
An odd thing, in the years I have been making sites and doing affiliate marketing I have never done much with redirects, preferring to use tools to create masked links etc.
Anyway, I needed to move away from the domain that carried my training site in its testbed form to its new home. This needed a redirect. I chose to use a .htaccess 301 redirect to take all visitors to the old site to the index page of the new site. I also needed to tell the search engines that this was a permanent change, hence the 301 redirect.
The code to make the change is dead easy, just put the following into your .htaccess file in the old site:
Code:
Redirect 301 / How to make redirects.I needed to check that the header information (invisible information sent to the visitors browser and to search engines) was correct so I needed a tool to confirm this for me.
A neat redirect checker It handles HTML and .htaccess redirects but not JavaScript redirects.Given the problems that can ensue if one gets the redirect wrong it is worth checking and confirming that the job is done right.

I came across a new Private Label Rights site the other day and I confess I signed up instantly.
I had to!
The offer was too good.
Here's the deal. Most of the time we buy PLR as a subscription and every month we get packages of PLR material to use as we choose. Cool, very useful, but there is one big problem. We only get what the proprietors of the PLR site want us to have, No choice. No option to say 'Hmmm, I need 5 articles on dog food and 3 articles on car buying'
What if that was a possibility? What if a site set up to do just that?
YumPlr was set up to offer PLR on-demand. Thousands of articles and new fresh ones every day published for members and using a site that looks like an article directory. After you sign up all yo have to do is browse or search the directory for the content you want and copy/paste the articles you choose. It is faster then me doing the same search on my own PC.
As the site is new most of the content I have been pulling down is not even published elesewhere yet. Obviously that will change over time but always there is new content each day.
Price is right too, less than $5.00 per month right now, but that is sure to change over the coming months.
Seriously, this is a handy way to get content in the odd niches for the odd projects where we do not want to pay for a writer to do a custom article and where we do not have a file of PLR content already. I'll be using YumPlr.com a lot.
