Welcome to my NEW FLEXIBILITY theme, what do you think? Maybe still a little rough around the edges but getting there. I just have to tell you that the Flexibility theme is by far the best WordPress theme that I have ever come across thus far. This Guy has got some serious talent, and to top it all the theme is available absolutely free of charge, all he asks is to keep his footer links intact, small price as far as I’m concerned.

If you want to have a unique WordPress theme, then I highly recommend that you give Flexibility a try. I was quite amazed at the whole setup, you can change practically every aspect of your theme, including colours, fonts, backgrounds, headers, logos; the list is endless. You can have a Home Featured Box which i haven’t yet implemented to show off anything you want including widgets HTML images and so on. The best part of this theme is that you don’t need to know any code, so no more messing around in the theme editor. All your theme editing gets done on one page with an easy to use interface; you can even place your Google analytics code and Adsense code all from the same page.

Check it out for yourself you’ll be glad you did!

Quick update; I have decided to remove the footer links in favour of my own. This was done by Donating to Ryan over at Flexibility. Well worth it! Please pay his site a visit and you will see just how good the setup is.

How much traffic do you reckon you lose through the preverbal back door, you know, the visitors that come to your blog only to click away within seconds? Wouldn’t it be nice to get some feedback and gain traffic at the same time, well it is possible.

I hate paying for things on the Internet. I know, as an Internet marketer I should practice what I preach and buy things, but I just can’t bring myself to parting with the cash unless of course it’s an unbeatable offer.

Maybe I’m like this out in the real world too. If given the option of paying for something or getting something not nearly as good for free, I’ll almost always go for the free version. Thinking of the present economic climate I’m sure a lot of people have the same goals in mind.

Anyways, if I hate buying things in the real world, just think how much I hate buying things online. I scour the Web for products similar to the ones that I need and I make do with whatever I find. One thing’s for sure over time you get pretty good at it. It’s amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it.

The thing that I hate paying for on the web the most is advertising. Why should I pay someone else to run my ad if it’s just as easy to trade one of my ads and get the traffic for free. There’s a method to my madness. People swap links and use advertising platforms like Entrecard every day.

The only negative with swapping ads instead of paying for ads is that I’m giving up prime ad space in the exchange. Space that I could stuff with an AdSense is unfortunately clogged up with an ad I gave away in a trade. But wait a minute, this makes sense if your visitors are going to click away, why not give them an option to leave some feedback and at the same time let them see other options to click on.

In my eternal quest for the cheapest options that service my needs, I’ve been on the lookout recently for a better ad exchange program, one that wouldn’t require me to sell my most valuable ad space.

I searched around and I’ve finally found the perfect way to fix my problem. I came across a site called ExitPollAds which is a free membership site that functions like a normal ad exchange, but with one very important difference. ExitPollAds trades ad space on an exit poll that my customers see only after they’ve left my site. It’s quite a simple solution really, with just a few lines of JavaScript you can be up and running in literally minutes.

It’s a great combination between driving traffic to my site and showing my own ads throughout the network for free. There is an option to upgrade which gives you double the credits and a bumper bundle of I.M products. I guess you could try it out and see what your stats bring back. If you want to see the script in action then visit Niche Central, then pop back and let me know what you think

If only everything on the internet was this straight forward. If you want to join in this free ad exchange, just click on the link below. Free stuff on the net just doesn’t get any better than this.

Anybody who is into affiliate marketing knows the importance of promoting their product. Since this promoting business is uppermost on most Internet Marketers minds, I thought I would do a little searching to find more free tools to promote your products.
