Google Maps bug: Hotel under the Eiffel Tower!
Everyone surfing online must have used at one moment or another Google Maps, in order to find out where you have to go! For a lot of us, Google Maps has become an essential and useful tool. You can see where you have to go, your itinerary, the time it will take you to get there. You can also find out what are the points of interest next to your holiday hotel, or simply walk through the streets using the cool street view feature.
For hotel chains, Google maps has also become an essential tool. If your hotel is incorrectly situated, you may loose a large number of visitors. Unfortunately for hotel managers, visitors tend to rely too much on Google Maps, and dont always check that the information provided by Google is valid.
Here is a brilliant example of the power of Google Maps. If you want a wonderful cheap hotel in Paris, why not stay under the eiffel tower! Yes, this is true, Google Maps does show a hotel under the eiffel tower! Just type “formule1 tour eiffel” under the french google maps and you will find the hotel! Actually if you go on the street view, it seems the hotel is actually the Eiffel Tower!

Make Money Online With A Simple Website
Make Money Online with a simple website ? Many of the top bloggers online tend to say and think that making money online with a website requires you to have a good looking design and some quality content. Even though having a nice looking website or blog does allow you to get decent traffic and money, it is not necessary in order to make money online.
A few weeks ago, the e-marketing B2B teacher from my e-business MBA course, showed us one of his websites (in french) which earns him about $200 a month with Google Adsense. He has accumulated around $10000 in 4 years. This is not huge, but considering the look of his website and the small efforts put into it, we can say that the ROI is really high.
His website, Veranda Conseils, is a simple HTML website with only a couple of pages. No background, no images, just plain text with Google Adsense. The question is how does he make money with such a website ? In fact he has been very intelligent, choosing his domain and keywords carefully where there was little competition in order to be ranked for many keywords on the first page of Google. In fact he has carefully optimized his website for search engines (SEO) and created just a few quality backlinks in order to get well ranked under Google. I will not talk about his SEO strategy today, but I invite you to come and visit my blog in the next few days as I will be analyzing his website in details and will be giving useful SEO tips.
Being a competitive person, I launched VerandaConseils.com in order to compete against his website. I am currently ranked 2nd just behind him for the keywords Veranda Conseils on the french Google search engine. I still need to work on optimizing my website for keywords such as prix veranda. I will keep you updated on wether I can beat him or not.

Keyword Trend Tracking
Anyone who is interested by niche blogging or niche business, knows that finding a niche is not that easy. You can use free tools such as Google Adwords Keyword tool in order to analyse the keywords you have in mind, but there are very few tools which gives you actual niche keywords and their trend. What i mean is that when using tools such as Google Adwords Keyword tool, you will have to think of a keyword, then enter it and get results. But the main issue is actually finding the keyword! Because if you just enter “computers”, well even though they will give you related keywords it will still be about computers and there is therefore little chance of it being a niche. Even though it is possible to find niche using Google Adwords Keyword tool, it does take time to analyse information and to calculate which niche is profitable or not.
But do not worry, yet again Google has the solution to simplify your life and help you gain a maximum of time! The tool you need is Google Insight. This tool is actually quite extraordinary, and i was quite suprised at first that Google made it public. So you probably want to know what it is and how to use it?
The tool is very simply, you just need to indicated a keyword (and this time you can type general keywords, such as computers, or digital cameras for example), the country inwhich you want to analyse it, and the yearwithin which the information will be collected from.
Once this is done, just submit, and Google Insight will give you amazing results. Normally you should have a graph for the keyword you entered which gives you the volume of searches. This is useful but not the best part of the tool. To see the best part of the tool, you need to go to the bottom. On the left you will see the top searches for terms which are related to your search, and on the right you will see how awesome the tool is. Yes, yes, you can see the rising searches!! Isn’t this incredible? Basically Google gives you the new successful keywords! The best is to select a “breakout” keyword! Simply click on a breakout keyword and have a look at the top graph! Wow, a recent sharp increase in search volume! As these are new rising keyword searches, the competition is rather low for most of them. Simply go on Google search enging and type the breakout keyword, and you will see that in most cases their wont be a lot of results!
All in all, with Google Insight creating website or blogs on new trendy keywords has simply become easy! For more information on it, simply visit John Cow’s blog where he gives an example or go directly to the Google Insight page!

Reviewme added
You may have noticed my latest review on payday loans abc, well this was my first review from ReviewMe offers. Basically i am paid by advertisers to do a review of their website/blog. This will allow me to have a complement to adsense for my revenues. I do not expect to make much, but a little is better than nothing.
In order to keep a quality blog, i will only do reviews of websites that are related to money or similar topics on my blog. I am also part of their affiliate program, but am waiting to have my own badge to put on my website. You get paid $25 for every advertiser you refer to ReviewMe who purchases a review that makes completion.
Need some quick cash?
Payday loans are what can be considered as small short-term loans, typically less than $500 which do not require a credit check. They are intended to fill in money gaps when cash is needed immediately. These types of loans with high interest rates that can go higher than 20% should not be confused with regular bank loans from serious institutions. Payday loans can be useful when needing cash quickly but you must take into consideration that they are risky and interests can add up very quickly.
The Payday Loan ABC website is a resource guide that helps you find online Payday Loan Advance. Thanks to their approved lenders they offer no fax payday loans, but unfortunately the service is only available to people in the US. The process is rather simple as you just need to complete the online application forms provided by the approved lenders. After this step, you will receive money within 24 hours approximately on your account.One of the good points of Payday Loan ABC is that they offer news on the payday loan industry in to be kept informed of any important news, which you never know might be useful one day.
The only bad point i would give to Payday Loan ABC but which i would also give to other websites/companies/lenders offering these services, is that it is difficult to know who to trust online, and i find that there is a lack of information from who you are asking cash from. Are they are company, a legal lender? Furthermore i find these interest rates very high! I would rather recommend people to ask relatives or friends to lend money, but if this is not possible then payday loans are a solution and the services Payday Loan ABC offers seems to be of good quality even though i find little information is disclosed.
