The internet never stays still but I never witnessed so many new and often at first looking cool companies.

At first we had , which promisses a traffic exchange but for the last days no stats on the dashboard and the reports never even worked once. Yeah I understand the whole concept of whole Beta S*it. But how you can go live, generating huge interest but then don’t even work correctly. They could have waited a week, work in peace and delivered a functional site. Oh well, as you can see on the right hand sidebar their widget is still up = I am still giving them a chance.

Now we take a look how RGS reported Dealdotcom did. Well, I managed to refer 40 people all together, affiliate profits $0.00! WOW, how is that? That’s a question easy answered. Because they are offering only software or information on how to make more money. LOL! Sounds pretty schemish to me. But as you can see, the widget on the left hand site is still up = I am still giving them a chance. DDC … put up products people are willing to pay money for!

And before I going to talk about the newest Widget Money Making concept I would like to show of my pathetic attempt of a widget for MrDealio, lol:

Well, getting there I’d say. There is nothing automated yet but getting there

Talking of MrD … The Bairginist was referring to our site as:

One of the best sites for finding cheap electronics, Mr. Dealio will track the prices of a product for you. Keep an eye on the iPod model you want, and if you’re patient, you can find a good deal, even on the latest models.

Finally someone paying attention and realizing that we got the most accurate price (including rebates and S&H) compared to other price comparison sites. Why is that? Well because we are not depending on any Data Feeds from the merchants. If you like you could say that our prices are hand picked by a swarm of little helpers. Can’t give anymore details but no we are not running a sweat shop! LOL!

Xmas is coming up so start researching for the best prices NOW. My guess is that the new iPod Generation will be #1 present of Xmas2007. And in case you are planing to buy couple of them to hand them out … head over to MrD…

Search for iPod pick your model (for example iPod Touch 16GB) and keep an eye on the price or sign up for the iPod Touch Price Drop RSS Feed. Especially fun is the Price History Chart. There is not much price action on the iPod Touch … the prices are pretty fixed but my guess this will change the closer we got to Xmas. And there are Price Drop RSS Feeds for every other product as well.

And if we are not offering the product you would like to keep your frugal eyes on you can let us know here.

Not sure what’s wrong with me this morning (only had one cup of coffee so far) but here finally the new widget site I wanted to talk about.

Why? Well, they are estimating $3-$6 CPM, which is almost never heard of an ad network. They give you a $25 Bonus just for opening an account (min. payout is $50) and the widgets look pretty cool:

I especially love the fact that you can set the widget to find products matching our content.

As you can see, the Chitika Minimall:

Does not look as fly and you need to set at least one category.

Well … sorry for talking business but sometime I like to share these kind of things, hope you don’t mind too much.

Ahh … don’t miss out on the fun and sign up for the Widget Bucks!

Just wanted to give you all an update on RGS’s / Criticker’s Linkbaiting and traffic development.

First of all I got my first clicks on Random Good Stuff from Blog Rush, exactly 9 hits within less than 12 hours. And that’s just the beginning? Why … because I just found out that they are tiering 10 Levels!!!! Here is a video on Blog Rush which describes exactly how you will earn tons of traffic for you blogs.

Also … Deal Dot Com will go Live in 2 days… so hurry to collect your Referrals!

No to the exciting part … since I tried to launch Linkbait Friday / Criticker Backlinks traffic went crazy on both sites.

First RGS:

And here Criticker:

WOW….. thank you all for all the Link Love …. You are the best!

Since I put the Linkbait on hold I did some thinking and came up with something new. But for that you have to wait until Friday. And if you are wondering if Linkbaiting will get you banned… you can read on that post some comments. Which inspired me to the new campaign but for that you have to wait until Friday.

The only number which did not go up are my RSS Feed Subscriber Numbers …. Why should you subscribe to the Feed? Because it saves you loading time of the sometimes slow Website and there is no distracting sidebars … you just get the pure content.

And here is an other promise, when you subscribe you will always get the full feed! And here an other promise … you will never find Pop Up or Layer Ads on RGS … I hate these and I will never do that to my readers.

So if you like Subscribe to the Random Good Stuff RSS Feed or get update via Email:

And for Criticker Movie Blog: RSS Feed here and to get Email updates:

Thank you all for reading.

The Blogosphere is really going nuts right now, first Blog Rush for more traffic and now Deal Dot Com. They offer one deal a day and share their profits with bloggers and webmasters referring readers to their sites.

Random Good Stuff draws out every month one lucky submitter who’s tip has been published on RGS to receive a $20 Amazon Gift Certificate.

Please keep in mind the content you are sending in has to be somewhat unique – if it has been on digg, boing boing or gizmodo, etc the link is out of question. Don’t get me wrong I love these sites but you get the point that I am looking for stuff which hasn’t been all over the blogosphere.

If your story hasn’t been published – there is no reason to be upset. I might already haven seen it somewhere else or it just didn’t fit. So Keep sending stuff in.

On top of that … if I publish your tip I always link back to your site. So don’t forget to add the Url of your site.

One more rule though: Don’t submit more than 2 urls a day. And yes …. each published story is one entry to the draw.

The winner will be announced always on the first of each month – Since this month is almost over… the first winner will be announced (with a link to the submitters site) on May 1st!

And Guest Bloggers – no worries … your posts will go in as one entry of the draw as well!

By the way RGS is always looking for guest bloggers – so email me!

This post is brought to you by: Casino Poker Bonus Blog

Let’s start off with this… because I bet ( ) that couple of RGS readers think that gambling is bad and are wondering why I write about such an evil thing.

Well, because I think gambling is fun! I love gambling and I gambled now for over 6 years online and offline. I just don’t understand how the USA is partly criminalizing online gaming ( especially since Poker is so huge) .. why? I am a grown man and I kind of want to decide what it is good or bad for me. I don’t have a gamble addiction just love to gamble once in a while online or preferable in Las Vegas.

I am all for legalizing gambling in the US and yes I would not even mind paying taxes on my pure profit – that would also mean I should be able to  deduct my losses from taxes as well …. this will never happen!

Why am I on this rant?

Well when I was in Las Vegas for this years CES , I did some gambling – my favorite game is Black Jack, because chances that you can walk away with a profit is pretty high and it is easy to play.

While playing I noticed that 80 Percent of the people on the table had now idea how to play black Jack … splitting 2 tens, not hitting on a 16 when the dealer had a 19, etc. And I thought it was just insane to see all those people loosing all this money.

Just by paying attention to the basic Black Jack Strategy:

Click here for a printable PDF: Basic Black Jack Strategy

If your are serious making your money last a little longer or even rising the chance to make a little profit know what you need to do buy heart!

Some things don’t very much sense – for example why to stand on a 12 when the dealer shows a 5! But you will get the point pretty quickly.

And you know what you have to do very soon when you practice, that’s why I put up a free online Black Jack on RGG.

Link: Play Free on Black Jack on Random Good Games

Very important, you need to know when to stop. Here is what I would do (in a land based casino) ..  I would look or go to a Casino with a very low minimum bet like 5 Bucks. Never more. If you are in Las Vegas go to the Sahara – they have $3 tables or downtown (even though I hate the area there) there you will find tables under $5.

So let’s assume you find a table with a $3 MB… I always start out with 20x your minimum bet – so your bankroll should be $60. If that money is gone it is gone – there is no point to try to win that money back. Should go and sit down with the attitude that the $60 is what it costs to have a great time, including free drinks and meet fun people from all over the world. If you didn’t have any luck – well at least you had at least a great time (the 60 bucks will have you playing for a while) and if you had luck .. even better!

Never play by feeling – Stick with the rules!!!

If you are on a lucky streak – keep in a mind a not so lucky streak will most likely follow. So set amount when you will leave the table and have the amount above the initial bankroll .. be strong, you can do it. And on top of that have the great feeling to belong to very small amount of people standing up from a Vegas table with some extra cash in your pockets.

Here is a list of some RGS approved online casinos accepting Players from the US:

• Sun Vegas
• Cinema Casino
• Arthurian Casino
• Casino US
• Maple Casino
• Golden Riviera
• River Nile
• Miami Paradise

There you can even play just with a $1 minimum bet.

Keep in mind, only sit down on a table with an amount you can afford to loose and also know when to stop playing!

And if you are annoyed with this post – well rest assure .. RGS will not turn into a casino blog and this will be the last post on gambling for this year. RGS Promise!
