i’m pretty proud of my two new websites:
http://www.alternative-energy.1cyu.com
and
http://www.lemon-law.1cyu.com
The template works quite well and now it is very fast to setup any new website on any subject. Just have to find good articles, rss feeds and modify the setup file.
Looking forward to build more and more niche websites…

I have this ‘25 niche sites’ package. Although they may be informative, I don’t find them very cool. They seem to display random articles, or they look like there is a bug that makes them display the wrong article.
I published them. We will se in the long run.

WHAT MAKES AN IDEAL KITCHEN.
It is a mistake to suppose that any room, however small and unpleasantly situated, is “good enough” for a kitchen. This is the room where housekeepers pass a great portion of their time, and it should be one of the brightest and most convenient rooms in the house; for upon the results of no other department depend so greatly the health and comfort of the family as upon those involved in this ‘household workshop’.
Every kitchen should have windows on two sides of the room, and the sun should have free entrance through them; the windows should open from the top to allow a complete change of air, for light and fresh air are among the chief essentials to success in all departments of the household. Good drainage should also be provided, and the ventilation of the kitchen ought to be even more carefully attended to than that of a sleeping room. The ventilation of the kitchen should be so ample as to thoroughly remove all gases and odors, which, together with steam from boiling and other cooking processes, generally invade and render to some degree unhealthful every other portion of the house.
There should be ample space for tables, chairs, range, sink, and cupboards, yet the room should not be so large as to necessitate too many steps. Undoubtedly much of the distaste for, and neglect of, “housework,” so often deplored, arises from unpleasant surroundings. If the kitchen be light, airy, and tidy, and the utensils bright and clean, the work of compounding those articles of food which grace the table and satisfy the appetite will be a pleasant task.
It is desirable, from a sanitary standpoint, that the kitchen floor be made impervious to moisture; hence, concrete or tile floors are better than wooden floors. Cleanliness is the great desideratum, and this can be best attained by having all woodwork in and about the kitchen coated with polish; substances which cause stain and grease spots, do not penetrate the wood when polished, and can be easily removed with a damp cloth.
The elements of beauty should not be lacking in the kitchen. Pictures and fancy articles are inappropriate; but a few pots of easily cultivated flowers on the window ledge or arranged upon brackets about the window in winter, and a window box arranged as a jardiniere, with vines and blooming plants in summer, will greatly brighten the room, and thus serve to lighten the task of those whose daily labor confines them to the precincts of the kitchen.
The kitchen furniture.
———————-
The furniture for a kitchen should not be cumbersome, and should be so made and dressed as to be easily cleaned. There should be plenty of cupboards, and each for the sake of order, should be devoted to a special purpose. Cupboards with sliding doors are much superior to closets. They should be placed upon casters so as to be easily moved, as they, are thus not only more convenient, but admit of more thorough cleanliness.
Cupboards used for the storage of food should be well ventilated; otherwise, they furnish choice conditions for the development of mold and germs. Movable cupboards may be ventilated by means of openings in the top, and doors covered with very fine wire gauze which will admit the air but keep out flies and dust.
For ordinary kitchen uses, small tables of suitable height on easy-rolling casters, and with zinc tops, are the most convenient and most easily kept clean. It is quite as well that they be made without drawers, which are too apt to become receptacles for a heterogeneous mass of rubbish. If desirable to have some handy place for keeping articles which are frequently required for use, an arrangement similar to that represented in the accompanying cut may be made at very small expense. It may be also an advantage to arrange small shelves about and above the range, on which may be kept various articles necessary for cooking purposes.
One of the most indispensable articles of furnishing for a well-appointed kitchen, is a sink; however, a sink must be properly constructed and well cared for, or it is likely to become a source of great danger to the health of the inmates of the household. The sink should if possible stand out from the wall, so as to allow free access to all sides of it for the sake of cleanliness. The pipes and fixtures should be selected and placed by a competent plumber.
Great pains should be taken to keep the pipes clean and well disinfected. Refuse of all kinds should be kept out. Thoughtless housekeepers and careless domestics often allow greasy water and bits of table waste to find their way into the pipes. Drain pipes usually have a bend, or trap, through which water containing no sediment flows freely; but the melted grease which often passes into the pipes mixed with hot water, becomes cooled and solid as it descends, adhering to the pipes, and gradually accumulating until the drain is blocked, or the water passes through very slowly. A grease-lined pipe is a hotbed for disease germs.

Corporate Gift Online Shopping
With the availability of the internet, it is much easier to see different types of corporate gifts. Sites that offer wide range of gift items are easy to find too. The comfort and ease these sites bring give you the advantage of avoiding the stress of rushing to the department stores and saving time to conveniently shop at the comforts of your home or office. However, too many sites and choices can sometimes bring confusion, especially if you do not have an idea what and where to buy your corporate gifts.
But the truth is, it doesn’t matter if you know what to buy or not, what is important when shopping for corporate gift items online is the content of the site itself. In other words, knowing what type of gift items to buy is not only the way to avoid confusion when buying corporate gifts online; you also need to know are the sites to should go to and the services these sites have.
So what are these?
Price – Some would treat corporate gifts as investments on business relationship and thus, price counts. Although this is correct in some ways, you should always be wise on the price of the gift items you will give (that the price of the corporate gift will provide good return). Meanwhile, when looking for a corporate gift online, price should always be checked from one site to another. Like departments stores, different online sites offer the same items at different prices. If you have a particular item in mind, make sure you shop around and compare prices.
Volume discounts – Many corporate gift sites online offer a very wide array of gift items to choose from but only a few offers volume discounts. If you are buying on volume, it is recommended to search for sites that offer such discount. If you, however, are only planning to buy one or two items as a corporate gift, you only have to search for sites that offer specially items or items you are looking for.
Free delivery – Most sites offer this. Sometimes this service is included to every purchase, sometimes you have to pay extra. The gift you purchase is either delivered to you or to the intended receiver. Make sure you check the site’s delivery policy before purchasing.
Specialties – If you are looking for a particular item but do not know what site to go, it is a good to visit first the sites that specialize selling on the item you are looking for. Not only you will get a better quality item, you can also receive a wide set of choices. Specialty shops may cost a little higher than others but it is a small price to pay for an assured quality.
Return policy - If in case you are not satisfied with the product you buy, the return policy is the only thing that matters to you. It may not be important to some buy knowing that you have the option to return the item and get the money you pay is always an ease.
Product categories – If you are shopping for several different items, sites with wide product categories come in handy. See for instance at http://www.shoponline4all.com for a wide choice.
You may not have to apply all these when shopping for corporate gift items online. Just select on what is applicable to you.

So I have at this point my websites created and submitted to search engines. Three most important, Google, MSN and Yahoo.
Others like Altavista or AllTheWeb are using Yahoo database so I just need to check if Im’there.
I still need to improve my skills in keywords optimization, but let’s leave this apart for the moment, because I feel now the priority is for link building.
So, for a start here are a couple of website where I can find fellow webmasters willing to exchange links with me. Most are free, although there is a paid service behind.
- Linkmetro.com: http://www.linkmetro.com
- HitMaid: http://www.hitmaid.com
- Link Market: http://www.linkmarket.net The site works the same as an online shop: Browse thru categories or dô a search for sites. Add them to your shopping cart and when finished, go to shopping cart to request the links. Simple and fun, it works well. 5 links a day for the free service.
- GotLinks.com: http://www.gotlinks.com
- Link Exchange: http://www.linkexchanged.com
- EZLinkSystem.com: http://www.ezlinksystem.com
- Link Diary: http://www.linkdiary.com
- BRL: http://www.build-reciprocal-links.com They are not free for sites with page rank less than 3 apparently. My sites are too young so I’ll need to pay to be included.
- LinksJunk: http://www.linksjunk.com Free plan allows 5 links per day. Code snippet is in fact a whole page to be created.
- TedallSearch: http://www.tedallsearch.com Very nice site and easy to set up links. Unfortunately still very few members to link with.
- SurfWebTips: http://www.surfwebtips.com Very easy and quick setup of links. The webpage is not very nice but the system is very fast and simple.
- LinkTradeExchange: http://www.linktradeexchange.com Still waiting for email confirmation. I will retry later, maybe I mistyped the address.
- Free Link Exchange: http://www.free-link-exchange.biz Complete manual system. No real subscription, you have to submit a ticket and wait for your site to be approved.
- LinksPro: http://www.linkspro.com Tedious registration process. I did not even find any category for my games site www.gamespot.1cyu.com
- SmartSubmission: http://www.smartsubmission.com Has a 90 days trial so I joined. It needs a code snippet.
- Small Business Link Exchange: http://www.linkubator.ws 47 members only today! It will be growing. Code snippet has to be installed on your site.
- LinkPro: http://www.linkpro.org Original, you get 5 links from other sites thru a code snippet.
- ALE5: http://www.ale5.com Free link exchange. Will see in a few months, as they don’t accept sites with a pagerank lower than 2. None of my sites are ranked yet, so…
I decided not to go further with this review because it mainly adds poos wuality links on my websites, which don’t need to link to affiliate or MLMs.When it is not the case, most of the sites added are not relevant to the subject of my own site, in the end having a ‘directory’ page, which I dont need.
