Making money using Amazon.com

I previously spoke about how you could make money using AdSense... Here is Another way that helps bloggers to make money:







http://www.amazon.com/: It is an affiliate program that allows your blog to connect readers and online sites that offers benefits together. You just have to mention the name of a certain book in your blog, and this program enables your visitor to click from your own blog to Amazon to develop their information about this book. And you get paid if the readers break out the checkbook or charge card. Moreover you can market your services in your blog. Instead of writing a diary that deals with your quotidian experiences, you can generate business, by publishing a post about your certificates, majors, skills and experiences. And in return, other bloggers may offer career to the visitors of their blogs by mentioning the requirements and obligations. Or you can simply take the advantage and advertise through your blog for your business, by informing customers and readers about every single thing your business does, Such as sales, product's quality, services, and special offers. This may expand your visitor's appreciation to your productions.

How to delete your files permanently

I previously spoke about how you can restore files from your computer (restore your deleted files). In this post i will explain how you can delete your files ENTIRELY from your computer, that no one can restore it again (There will always be a way to restore files no matter how much and how it has been deleted, but using this method wont allow any average 'deleted file restoring' software, but will need a more high-tech software to do the trick against this technology of deleting files).

Again, as i always say, there are many programs that you could use to delete files entirely from your PC, you can simply go to Google search and search for free programs that could delete your files completely or just click on this hyperlink: "delete files completely free". Or you can find a list of programs with images, descriptions and prices on this link: http://delete-file.safe-install.com/, or free programs on this site: http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/downloads/file_deletion_software/.







I will talk about "AEVITA Wipe & Delete" program. As they say on their website: "AEVITA Wipe & Delete is a reliable and ultra-fast shredder that will help you securely erase any file or folder without any chances for its recovery". I don't know if this is 100% true because of the fact that i know that there is always a way, but till now, this program has served me pretty well.




Now i will explain in 5 easy steps how you can delete your files entirely (or almost entirely) from your computer:-


  1. Download AEVITA Wipe & Delete (1.3 Mbs).


  2. Install AEVITA on your computer (Just follow the steps after you double-click on the downloaded folder, the downloaded program or the installer has an icon of a red X).


















  3. Once you open the AEVITA program, a welcome window will ask you weather you want to delete files using wiping or wipe free space. Select 'delete files and folders using wiping' and click next.


















  4. Then click on "Add Files" or "Add Folders", then select them so that they are shown in the middle as shown below. After you selected all the files and/or folders you want to permanently delete, click next.





















  5. A warning sign will then appear asking you if you want to permanently delete this file/folder foe sure. WARNING: Be careful. after you delete your files using wiping, it will be somehow impossible to restore these files, so select them with extreme caution.

BlogAd

What is a BlogAd?


Blogad is an online ad network, found in August 2002, based in West carolina that provides advertising services to both bloggers and advertisers in general. It attaches bloggers with promoters and imposes a commission in return for any ad placement that results.
