About a month ago, Jeremy of Shoemoney.com wrote a post about Zivity, and he was giving away their invites. Well as you know I am always curious, so I asked Jeremy for an invite which he sent me quickly. I joined this place and liked it alot (This is invite only exclusive membership, because it is in Beta Version). I get to talk with the representatives of Zivity at one occation when i was giving them feedback. They asked me about my website, and I showed them Balkhis as well as the free promotion program.

They kindly sent me 25 free invitations for Balkhis Users. Before I get on giving those away let me explain to you what Zivity is. Zivity is a web 2.0 promotion of beauty. Basically a community featuring female beauty (Yes some pictures in there are Rated R). It is a combination of Playboy, Myspace, and American Idol. Thats kinda hard one to get isn’t it. Let me explain: They have female models that have their albums. Any female can apply to become a model and if they are selected by the judges their album gets posted on the website. Just like American Idol. You can actually message the models and add them as your friend on your profile. Which is a concept similar to myspace, and it only features Females which includes Rated R Images of Females which is sort of like Playboy. Don’t get me wrong it is not PORN.

Two days ago, I recieved a package through mail and It included Zivity shirts. Now that was cool because they sent me more than one. They sent me 4 guy shirts and 2 females. I really had no use for the female shirts because Balkhis Group / Uzzz Crew are only 3 guys and the female of the group does not reside in Gainesville. I am sure you know of her Amanda Roberts of Word Scrawl currently live in Palm Beach, but she will be joining the rest of us in the upcoming Fall semester, so she will get one of the shirt. I think the other guy shirt I will send to Areeb, a shareholder in Balkhis, and the female shirt I will end up giving to some of my friend. Free promotion for Zivity . I got asked about zivity by atleast 9 people and about 20 or so found their slogan catchy. One of the guys didn’t want to be in the picture, so you only get to watch David Pegg who likes to be called Dpizzle in the post, and yours truly me (Always)

Alright fellas, as you have seen the cool shirts. It fits me very well and I like their shirt alot. Speically the catchy slogan, “Its Not Porn” Well to get your invites for Zivity straight forwardly Head over to my contact form. Select General Inquiry as your option, and in your comment just say I would like an invite for Zivity and give me your email.

I only have 25 invites so first come first serve basis.

I wrote a post two days ago about a free gift that I received from Super Talent Technology about the world’s smallest USB Drive. Well I felt like that I was coming up short in my last review when I told my users the basic specs because basically all the specs were on the Super Talent’s site.

I thought It would be nice if I can do something different. Therefore I decided that I will test one of the features that the website claims for the drive. Water Resistant. I love the feature because I am a very careless person, but this time I did this with an intention of an experiment.

I got David Pegg, a member of Balkhis Inc. and Uzzz crew and asked him to make the video. In this video, I basically showed that the drive works before it was put in the water, and then I put in a container of water. Then take it out after sometime, and then I go back and dry it off and test it, and guess what. It actually WORKS !!!

Below is the video of the entire experiment

If you are still wondering how you can buy this product, Visit Super Talent Technology Corporation’s Website.

Today something surprising happened. I was sitting in my room trying to write a blog post on Balkhis, and someone knocked really hard on the apartment’s door. I got up and thought who the heck is this? I ran up to the door, and there was package on the door. The package contained a super technology from Super Talent Technology Corporation.

This USB Drive is in the PICO Series of the Super Talent company. I don’t know why it is PICO series, but I am thinking that picometer is a really small measuring unit. It was the smallest one until femto unit arrived. Now I will be waiting to see smaller USB Drives in FEMTO series This USB Drive is PICO_C.

The Dimensions of this magnificent technology is

31.3mm x 12.4mm x 3.4mm

and it weights only 6 grams. And the cool part is that this is water resistable (works for me) I am very careless, so if anything happens I know this will be one of the things that won’t be damaged severely. These drives range from 1GB – 8GB. The one I got in mail is 8GB

Below is the video with my frist reaction and the actual usb drive.

I actually tested the water resistance of the drive by dropping it in the container full of water

The goal of every webmaster is to have their website ranked among the top if not at the top for their competitve keywords. A smart seo technique is to gain backlinks, but sometimes gaining backlinks is too expensive. TNX.net has made gaining backlinks a peice of cake (easy and inexpensive). Along with gaining backlinks by advertising, publishers can use TNX to sell their links and make profit. If thats not enough, they have also added an affiliate program which offers some great deals that I will discuss in my post.

TNX for Publishers

I think TNX is best for publishers. Why? Because it have 52353 users. With private ads you might not get as much exposure as you can get with TNX. There are 22854502 links in the TNX system. You can get much more advertisers then you ever imagined through direct sales. You can automatically sells link to thousands of advertisers. It is very easy to install the codes, I checked that out. Their system is secure and credible. TNX pays when you request a payout via paypal, checks, Wire, or “any other payment method”. I definately don’t know what they mean by any other payment method. Unlike other companies, TNX charge commission as well. It is not as bad but it is still 12.5% from each party involved in the transaction. I was going to say that TNX is good for publishers because new website owners want to get exposure to advertisers, but TNX is based on Pagerank! Which means I can’t sell links on Balkhis through TNX because I have a Pagerank 0. Another downside of this program is heavy reliance on Pagerank for everything. Even the prices are generated automatically which mostly depends on Google Pagerank, link popularity, website category, and number of outbound links. Which completely eliminates a new site to sell links. The only reason I would use the system is to get more exposure for my site, but apparently the system requires a website that is build and established. My question in the review is why should the established websites even join the system when they are already popular and can get direct sales. Specially as I mentioned before the wordpress plugin that lets you do it all automatically. I checked out the system interface which was very easy to use therefore I don’t see a user with a Pr 5 site having issues with selling links. I think this program is more beneficial to the webmasters with a site in the range of PR 1 – 3 because those sites are the ones that usually need exposure. Ofcourse excluding John Chow, and after the whole PR thing going on with google I dont even think if it is the best way to determine the quality of a website.

TNX for advertisers

TNX will gain you tons of backlinks for a reasonable price. I was reading the homepage, It says get upto 10,000 static backlinks for only $11. Which is a pretty decent deal. Another cool deal they have is getting 5000 backlinks for free! Check it out here. If you like the offer then join TNX now. With such high quality/quantity backlinks, I am sure you can hit the top of Google in SERPs, but I don’t know for how long because google is going crazy about Paid links. But apparently TNX has its own SEO theories. They have made a tool that generates keywords for advertisers which makes their link look natural rather than paid. Read more about the tool here.

Affiliate program at TNX

TNX pays a high margin to their advertisers. TNX is based on points therefore you get 25 points out of every 100 that your referred advertiser has spent. You can use these points to advertise your own site, sell it to the network, or sell to any individual for your own set price. Join TNX now.

Above are the basic that you need to know about TNX which you could’ve found on their website as well. Now I was asked to review TNX and it is time for me to tell you what I think. Overall layout of this site is decent. Since it is such a big company, I think it could’ve spent some more on their designing aspect to get a more web 2.0 type look. I mentioned above in the publisher section that I don’t like their system so reliant on the value of Pagerank. Specially the fact that they don’t allow PR 0 site as stated here eventhough their own site is PR 0.

Due to the recent storm in the Google world, TNX was also one of the victims of Google raid. TNX doesn’t rank for its own name in Google, and have a PR of 0. Although I see that the owner mentioned that he has banned Google from their robot.txt. (Here). I don’t think the ban of their site will impact your site for selling your links on their site, but there can be a serious issue if you abuse this service.

Hint Hint the owner himself mentioned a few tricks. I believe that post was written before TNX was penaltised. I don’t know the owner personally, but I believe they build their links too quickly to face the wrath of Google. Should you use this service? If you qualify then sure go ahead. Do I guarantee that you will get good results…. Almost impossible to guarantee with any service. But as far as I can see even though the system was shooked by Google, they are doing pretty good. Their alexa is 10,897 and they have tons of members which means you will definately get exposure.

Do me a favor if you join, Join through my referral :p I can earn a few bucks.
