Traffic Swarm, I must admit it works.

I have seen Traffic Swarm quite a bit in my research for building traffic to my site, in fact I tried using it before. I didn't think it worked that well and I dropped my account. I however decided to use it again as suggested by some friends, they said it has really improved and it has been working for them. I saw the numbers and yet I was still unsure about the Swarm. But after continued pressure I broke down and gave it a new try. I was amazed today, because it worked my traffic has grown. I guess you win some and you lose some and it just proves sometimes you should try things more than once. Should you be interested the link is to the side. P.S. If you use Traffic Swarm tell us what you think of it.

Do well by doing good

Below is an email I received from Prosper, and I agree with is whole heartedly. I love 'It's a Wonderful life'.
As financial institutions continue to tighten credit guidelines and restrict credit, it is becoming more and more difficult for people to get a personal loan in many states. Where can they go for relief?
People Helping People They can come to Prosper. Prosper takes us back to a time when helping your neighbor was the cornerstone of community. People looking for personal loans can now go to a new community--Prosper--and appeal to the George Bailey of It's a Wonderful Life in all of us. Just people helping people...and all without a bank.
With the new lending and deposit landscape, people can now use P2P lending to bridge many of the gaps between large banks and Main Street. And people-to-people lending adds new checks and balances to the few powerful banks that remain by giving everyone a new choice. People's sense of "doing well by doing good" will become more important than ever to ensure that tomorrow's entrepreneurs, students, and homeowners aren't paying the price for today's market downturn.
If you have some extra cash or idle money sitting on Prosper, revisit the site and see if you can help out someone in the community. And why not tell your friends about helping others out through Prosper--suggest they become a lender. It can be a rewarding experience.
It's nice to know there's still a little bit of Bedford Falls out there.
Prosper: Let's bank on each other.
Regards, Prosper

Your Children are at Risk

This is an article pulled from a special report from Identity Theft Shield.
Theft of children's IDs are increasing, and a University of Florida (UF) consumer education expert says the problem can actually be worse for younger victims."many parents don't even realize that child identity theft exists, which means the crime often goes undetected for years," says Mary Harrison, a professor with UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Science.
Identity thieves treat personal data from children and adults the same way, with one important distinction. That is, thieves create new credit accounts for child victims, whereas most cases of adult identity theft involves existing accounts. That can make the crime worse for child victims.
In July, Utah's Operation Protect the Children uncovered an alarming crime spree involving identities stolen from victims under the age of 12. In a joint investigation by the Utah Attorney General's Office, the Office of Inspector General for Social Security Administration and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, investigators checked Utah state records and found that approximately 1,800 Social Security numbers belonging to children under 13 may have been compromised.
"Everyone is doing everything possible to protect the identities of children," says Resident Agent in Charge Ron Ingleby, Office of the Inspector General for the SSA in a pres release. "Identity thieves could get away with destroying a child's credit for years unless we stop them".
Parents should protect documents and other information of their preschool-age children. They should not carry their child's Social Security card, and should complain if their child's school uses Social Security numbers to identify students.
For older children, the popularity of personal computers in homes and schools creates a risk they will be victimized by Internet scams such as "phishing," says Harrison. "Even bright children who are very computer-savvy may not understand the dangers of being too free with their personal information." Harrison recommends that parents monitor their children's Internet use, talk to their kids about identity theft and tell them what information they should and should not share with others.

Things to consider when diversifying

This was an email I got from Prosper and it has some great insights from Prospers CFO Kirk Inglis
A common subject our community members talk about is: how many loans does a lender need to be diversified? As far as a number is concerned, based on my review of marketplace data I believe that that a minimum of 100 equal sized loans achieves effective diversification. In fact, I believe there are still diversification benefits up to 200 equal sized loans. But there is more to diversification to consider.
Equal bid size Keep in mind that diversification is not just about the number of loans, but also the fact that the loans are of equal size. If you are in the habit of varying bid size, your loans will become less diversified. Although many lenders employ a strategy of bidding larger amounts on loans that they deem of better relative quality, there is no evidence these lenders have lowered their risk. In fact an analysis of lender returns shows that diversified lenders with equal bid size carry the least risk.
Planning It is always a good idea to do some planning before you start deploying your funds. A key piece of information to consider is the maximum amount of money you are likely to deploy on Prosper's platform. If you are likely to deploy less than $5,000, you should strongly consider only bidding $50 per listing. Even up to $10,000, lenders may want to stick to a $50 bid size, even though a slightly higher bid size would allow the lender to deploy their funds more quickly.
Of course, there may be circumstances that call for exceptions to this minimum bid size strategy, such as in cases where a lender is bidding on a borrower who is a friend or family member, but if your goal is diversification it's best to stick to a minimum bid size as much as possible.
Other diversification considerations
In addition to loan size, lenders may want to consider other types of diversification. For example, lenders may want to make sure that the loans they own span across many geographic regions to reduce their exposure to a regional economic downturn. Other potential sources of diversity may be occupation of the borrowers or loan purpose.
Discipline and patience are important characteristics of successful Prosper lenders, and nowhere is this more important than with respect to diversification. If you want to learn more about diversification and becoming a better Lender please consider attending one of our webinars.
Sincerely, Kirk Inglis

Krav Maga. What is it?

I have recently taken great interest in the martial art of Krav Maga, the contact combat system of the Israel Defense Forces.
My interest took shape when I saw Krav Maga on "Human Weapon" on the History channel and then again on Discovery channels "Fight Quest".
My blog is called "Share The Wealth" not just for finance but for anything that brings wealth of knowledge to an individual. I like to encourage people to share with others to build wealth mentally, physically, spiritually and financially. I welcome all kinds of comments and thoughts that inspired everyone to be come wealthy with knowledge. I have stated this very thought numerous times and hope that I have touched many people with something that has inspired them.
Now Krav Maga is very new to me and it is something that I have found very inspiring and I hope you find it inspiring too.

Zlio

Zlio” - have you heard of this useful little e-Hobby that’s currently working wonders on the internet?

It’s a weird name for a cool service which I’ve started to use, which allows you to create your own shop in less than five minutes! Yes Sir - all in five minutes, and no need to know HTML or even to deal with the usual headaches of creating a website!

And now, I have my own online shop which I can personalize as much as I want and on which I can sell products which I’ve selected from a database of over three million - the only really tough thing was to think of a good name for the shop!

All I really need to do, now, is to advertise my shop to other people and let them now about it, because I get a very cool commission (2% to 15%) every time someone buys something from me! But of course, I never need to handle the items myself - all of that’s dealt with for me!

Wii Internet Channels

This is the first time I have use the Wii Internet Channel to write a blog. It is still easier to do this via the computer but for sheer laziness it is very convenient to sit and switch between watching T.V. and seeing what's online right from your couch. The biggest downside is the you do not have an up to date flash video software to enjoy some sites the good news I can still enjoy Youtube.

A Misleading Signal on First-Quarter GDP

From Kiplinger

By Jerome Idaszak, Associate Editor, The Kiplinger Letter

Don't be too heartened by the news that the economy didn't shrink last quarter. What looks like good news actually signals deeper trouble ahead. Thank inventory growth for the positive first-quarter growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). If it weren't for that jump, which contributed about an eight-tenth of a percentage point to GDP, the 0.6% overall growth rate would have been negative. But that means, during this quarter, businesses will work through the inventory piled up on shelves of stores and warehouses, rather than order more goods, cutting into second-quarter GDP growth.
The positive first quarter belies the fact that the economy is in a mild recession. The key yardstick is employment, and in that respect, the picture isn't pretty. There has been a net job loss of about 230,000 in the first three months of the year. Friday's employment report is likely to indicate that another big chunk of jobs evaporated in April.
Moreover, total consumer spending rose a paltry 1% over the January-March period, compared with an increase of 2.3% in the fourth quarter of last year. Spending on durable goods declined by more than 6%. Previous quarter, spending on cars, appliances and other durables rose about 2%. In another sour note, business investment fell 2.5%, after racking up a 6% gain at the end of 2007. And housing remains a giant drag, with residential construction again shrinking more than 25%.

The other growth you may find is pay-per-view along with live event growth in the states. This is the best wrestling match up, I like for us regular Joe's.

I was very saddened today to find out that Ernest Gary Gygax passed away. He was such an inspiration to, a generation of gamers. He co-created one of the best games of all time Dungeons and Dragons. I was fortunate to have met him and one of many who got to sit in on some games he DMed. You will be missed greatest of all Dungeon Masters. I wish condolences to family and friends. -Eric

Readers Weigh in on Spitzer's next step

So much conflict over Gov. Eliot Spitzer. I truly feel bad for his family and friends it is unfortunate that Gov. Spitzer got himself mixed up in something we all thought he was fighting against. He lead a great campaign for the small investor. From CNN some news and comments from concern citizens.
On Monday, federal prosecutors unsealed an affidavit that details a rendezvous in a Washington hotel room last month between a prostitute and "Client 9," who a CNN source says is New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer. That afternoon Spitzer addressed the press and apologized for letting voters and his family down.

New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer addresses the media on Monday.

Now, some leaders are calling for Spitzer to step down from his post as governor, a position that Spitzer rose to with tenacity and a penchant for rooting out corruption, earning himself the nickname "the dragon-slayer."

Some CNN.com readers say that they feel even more betrayed by Spitzer because of his reputation for fighting corruption. Others say that, as long as he is doing a good job as governor, his private matters should remain private. Below are a selection of responses from our readers, some of which have been edited for length and clarity.

John Juhasz of East Setauket, New York Well ... he blew it as far as I'm concerned. True, he's only human, but he is in a high-level public position and should've known better.

Sorry, but here's someone who was also Attorney General who oversaw various related scandals. His credibility is definitely in jeopardy. He should resign.

Don Persons of Elyria, Ohio This is not a scandal involving misuse of position or public funds. Take this immediately off the politics section and put it where it belongs: a footnote in the lifestyle section. I don't care about which party is "guilty" or which "key" state they are from. Stop this!

Mel Grove of Deer Creek, Minnesota I don't understand how he could get so arrogant or reckless. After the Republican and Wall Street people he had prosecuted and sent to prison, I can't believe he would not know they would be watching every breath he took.

"Concerned Citizen" of New York, New York I think it's unfortunate that news of this nature causes so much anxiety, turmoil and political upheaval. Like other politicians who have been involved in sexual scandals, this is a personal matter that he has to handle with his family. Something of this nature would have been a side story in Europe.

On the other hand, we have laws that prohibit prostitution and he, being a prosecutor, should have known what the legal consequences are. The irony is that legal consequences are few, but political ones many. If so many politicians, both Republicans and Democrats, enjoy the company of prostitutes, why not legalize it? Let's stop the hypocrisy. Why didn't Mr. Spitzer take a trip to Nevada and for less money and greater discretion enjoy some of the benefits of a right that visitors to that state enjoy?

Kevin Rundle of Victoria, British Colombia The prosecution should show him the same amount of mercy he displayed when he was a prosecutor. People that live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Mohammed Sbia of Salt Lake City, Utah I believe that if Gov. Spitzer has engaged in this behavior for months or years, repeatedly, then he has to step down ASAP. But if this behavior is recent and is his first, then I believe (if this is not a crime), the man needs to get a second chance. He has done tremendous work for NY and the country.

At the end, his career may very well be over. His work as DA will not be forgotten. I wish him the best.

Lynn Gray of Verbank, New York If all Congress was cleared of men who had been with prostitutes -- including interstate transactions -- the Congress would be just about empty. Lets get European and leave personal to personal and political leadership to leadership. It is absurd that a political career would be in jeopardy because of sexual activity during personal time. The people who condemn this the most are often offenders themselves. Such hypocrisy.

"Johnny Lawless" of Brownsville, Texas When it has become suspicious to transfer your own money from one account to another, the terrorists have won.

What IS suspicious is that a corrupt Bush Justice Department would be wiretapping the most hated man on Wall Street? All because he wanted to spend his own money? It doesn't make sense.

Why is no one asking how long the Bushies have been wiretapping the Governor and what other Democratic politicians are being wiretapped?

Spitzer should admit his sins but stay on. If they threw everyone out in Washington with sexual sins there would not be anyone left. Did Larry Craig resign yet?

"Small investor" of West Windsor, New Jersey Spitzer is the best friend of small investors in this country. While the Fed is sleeping on the wheel, Spitzer cleaned up those fat rats on the Wall Street and the insurance industry. I am not surprised at all that those rats will jump on him whenever they get a chance. The Fed should focus on how to clean up the subprime mess instead of being interested in what is going on in guy's private bedroom.

When to Sell a Stock

Here is a great article I read at Kiplinger.com With everything in the market being so up and down you may find this article useful plus you can find a whole bunch of great articles and tips just by visiting Kiplinger.com
To make the decision easier, look for these four signs.

The right time to unload shares is one of the toughest calls investors have to make. Even professional traders and money managers admit it can be difficult. "It's a lot easier to buy a stock than to sell a stock," says David Giroux, manager of T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation fund.

That's because if you sell when a stock is down, you feel like you're giving up, Giroux says. And it rarely feels right to sell when a stock's price is soaring -- even though that can be the best time to sell.

Now, there's nothing wrong with holding a stock 20 or more years -- if it's the stock of an exceptionally well run company, says Giroux, who tends to hold stocks for three to five years in his $10.5 billion fund. But even if you're a buy-and-hold investor, you need to learn to say "sell" sometimes.

The market's recent volatility might be making you want to say, "Sell it all. I'll sit this out until things calm down." But you shouldn't let fear guide your investment decisions. Instead, look for these four signs to help you decide if the time is right.

1. A change in the company's fundamentals. Usually the best clue for when to sell a stock comes from the issuing company, itself. If a company's earnings stop growing, if its top management quits or is forced out, if it stops creating new products, or its products aren't receiving regulatory approval, the company's shares could be headed for a fall. Kiplinger's Portfolio Tracker can help you keep tabs on a company's performance.

One sure sign of trouble is if a company is having cash-flow problems, Giroux says. A cash flow statement gets to the guts of a business -- the cash it receives and the cash it pays out. It's especially handy when researching companies that don't have profits. You can find the information in the company's annual reports, accessible on its Web site, or sites such as Yahoo! Finance and Zacks.

Giroux says look for changes in free cash flow: 1. Is operating cash flow growing slower than net income? 2. Is inventory rising faster than sales? 3. Are receivables rising faster than sales? These are early warning signs that it might be time to sell the company's stock.

2. The stock's too hot. If a company's stock price is soaring but its fundamentals, such as earnings growth, aren't following suit, it's time to sell, says Jerry Jordan, Jr., manager of Jordan Opportunity fund. A stock with an especially high price-earnings ratio may be the victim of investors' unrealistic expectations. To calculate this familiar measure of a stock's value, divide the current share price by the company's earnings per share.

You can compare a stock's P/E with that of the overall market, the average P/E of its industry, or against the company's past P/Es. If the company's ratio is unusually high, it could have a hard time sustaining that price.

Jordan recommends picking a target P/E when you first invest in a stock. If the price jumps but the earnings keep up, you won't have to sell. This method can help give you the discipline to dump the stock before it becomes overpriced.

3. The stock's not keeping up. The market's rallying, but your stock isn't. This can be a sign to sell, Jordan says, especially for popular or trendy stocks that tend to move in sync with the market. For example, if stock was $100, drops to $80 but doesn't bounce back or even falls below that level, sell.

4. The stock is taking over your portfolio. If you went into your stock purchases aiming for diversification, revisit your portfolio once a quarter to see if your holdings are still in balance. If you have one or two big winners and their futures still look bright, you may want to consider taking some profits off the table -- and adding to your other holdings -- just so you won't be overexposed if the unexpected happens.

Yuwie news back in December

Social networking site attempts to outflank MySpace & Facebook by sharing advertising revenues with end-users.

Norma, Okla. (PRWEB via PRWebDirect) December 3, 2007 -- Yuwie.com, one of the Internet’s newest social networking sites, today announced the details behind their innovative and highly successful new online business model.
“MySpace and Facebook have already proven how business can make money from the efforts of end-users,” said Korry Rogers, founder and CEO of Yuwie. “Yuwie is proving that both businesses and end-users can finally share the $100 million per month advertising revenue that floods into the social networking market today.”
Rogers explains that Yuwie’s business model is based upon two core tenants: 1) End-user participation is free – no sign-up fees or subscr i ption fees are required, and 2) Yuwie currently distributes well over half of the site’s advertising revenue back to participating end-users. Not only are Yuwie’s end-users paid for the traffic generated for their own personal page, but also for the traffic generated by friends they refer to the site, in addition to traffic generated from their friends’ subsequent referrals (for up to ten (10) layers or generations of personal referrals).
"The revenue potential for end-users is striking and very exciting once you start to run the numbers;” explained Rogers. "If someone only refers three of their friends, who refer three of their friends through ten levels, that one person will ultimately collect a percentage of advertising revenues from about 88,000 end-users, which can translate to about $8,800 per month for that person – every month."
So far, end-users’ response to Yuwie’s new business model has completely shattered initial projections by attracting 300,000 registered members to Yuwie’s brand of social networking – in just five (5) months. Moreover, Yuwie’s growing page views, which currently total 1,800,000 per day, have catapulted the website’s global ranking from below the top 100,000 list, to one of the top 2,500 websites in the world.
About Yuwie.com Yuwie (www.yuwie.com) is the world’s first social networking site that truly allows end-users to collect a percentage of online advertising revenues generated from the website. By integrating end-user personalization, social networking tools, and monthly income potential for end-users, Yuwie appears poised to usher in the next-generation of online business.

49 in Fast Company's 50 most Innovative Companies

I had to share this from FastCompany.com since I have been with Prosper for over a year now and I love this company.

February 15, 2008

"What we're really trying to do is to create an eBay for money and credit," says Chris Larsen, CEO of two-year-old Prosper.com (and founder of E-Loan, which he sold in 2005). The company melds the debt market with online social networking, allowing people to borrow money from one another -- and lend it -- without any banks in the middle. So far, Prosper has facilitated the transfer of more than $100 million. Borrowers include stretched homeowners, college-goers, credit-card junkies, and entrepreneurs; lenders are average folks, including Larsen himself (who has funded more than 450 loans).
