Low Bid Auction?

Sounds odd eh? I'm not quite sure I get how this works yet. You find a prize you like at bid4prizes and bid on it just as you would at a regular auction. The difference is that with bid4prizes, the low bid wins, as long as it's the lowest 'unique' bid. That's the catch. You can bid lowest, but it must not be a bid that someone else has already bid.
Once you put your bid in, bid4prizes will tell you whether you are low, high, unique or duplicate and then it's your job to figure out how to bid next. Sounds easy, but somehow I don't think it's quite THAT easy. I would say that since the thing is kinda new, there won't be too many bidding right now. Not like the crazy amount of people bidding on eBay at least.

Student Loans



I've never had to worry about student loans, but Linda is building up a nice little portfolio of loans that are going to be needing paying off sooner or later. Consolidating them would probably be a good idea, much like me consolidating my credit card loans into one big loan, bringing those numerous payments into one easy one.

Student Loan Consolidation is the smart way to get rid of those loans faster and with less hassle. You can cut your payments by as much as 60%.

Insurance of All Kinds



ASDA Financial Services, part of the Walmart family, is a home and auto insurance company, offering low rates for insurance. They also offer loans and credit cards. The site is very informative and easy to navigate. The color scheme is pleasant and the graphic content is minimal, for faster loading for dial-up customers.
The site is a little too graphic lite for my designer's eye, but as a functional site for getting customers information, it's well laid out and easy to work through.
They certainly seem to have just about every insurance need covered. From Home Insurance to auto insurance to renters and building insurance. Check them out if you are in need of coverage.

Single Moms and Dads Dating Site



As a formerly single dad, I can certainly attest to how difficult it is to find someone to date. There are so many issues to consider, but the main thing is how the potential date will react to the news you have a child or how they will interact with them if and when you introduce them.

SingleMomsAndDads.com is a dating site specifically for Single Parents. Joining is free and you can immediately search for singles. The site itself is laid out fairly nicely, though the designer in me dislikes the color scheme. Just an asthetic thing for me. Not a fan of the baby blue. Other than that, it's not bad. Navigation is easy and the search function is a piece of cake.

Big Money Posts



Lately PayPerPost has been offering paying opportunities that are higher paying than usual. With their new segmentation it's possible for higher traffic blogs to make more money for posting certain ads. With this blog marketing it's possible to earn up to $1000 for one blog post! PayPerPost only charges advertisers a 35% markup, as opposed to other sites like ReviewMe, who charge a 100% markup. This means they pass on more of the money to bloggers for posting ads.
PayPerPost is the best choice for monetizing your blog or journal, and with the new segmentation, it's possible for larger blogs to get bigger returns. Smaller blogs can still earn good money of course, and the higher paying opportunities are a good inspiration to get more traffic for your blogs and earn the big money.
I've been using PPP for a while now and I love being able to get some extra cash. It really helps pay the bills.
There has been a lot of talk around the blogosphere of late about PPP's ads and bloggers not disclosing the fact that these posts are paid. PPP requires all bloggers to disclose that they have been paid to post these ads. I myself have posted some ads without dosclosure, but this was my choice.

Reef Sandals




Active-sandals.com has a huge selection of sandals. They ship nationwide too! Right now they're having a clearance sale as well. They carry reef sandals as well as many other types of sandals. Active Sandals.com also has jeans and t-shirts for sale as well,including Seven Jeans and Joe's Jeans. A bit pricey for me, but I know women regularly pay that much for jeans. The Reef sandals are pretty sharp tight though, I like the casual ones like this:

(no, you can't click to enlarge, but click to go to their site :)
