by 50 Comments

Recently i  installed this link , that says it will  localize your Amazon links   so that the it updates any amazon links  on your website /blog with your amazon id  for that country so that you don’t miss out on  commissions.

 

 

DODGY/ fraud plugins for wordpress

I installed this  plugin and though i would do a check  to see how things are going . to my horor i found that  the  amazon link are pointing to someone else amazon id , which would obiviously be the plugin maker. So i was ytricked into handing over all my commisiions to the  this guy . DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN  it is  a scam. IT will replace all you   amazon links with this id link “http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=petewill-20” .

[ Author of this plugin has sent me a clarification message , which i have posted at bottom of post ]

I clicked one of the about links http://petewilliams.info/ and also the id  link that covered mylinks with his links  was “http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=petewill-20”

The plugin ” Amazon Affiliate Link Localizer”

This is totally sneaky and wrong, please do not download this plugin.

  Clarification sent from Plugin author: Pete williams

Hi,

My name’s Pete and I wrote this plugin. It looks like there’s been a bit of a mixup here so I thought I’d try and clear it up for you.

Just to explain, the script does use my affilliate IDs, but *only* where you don’t provide your own. It will never overwrite your IDs, and so will never deprive you of any commission. This is explained on the page on my site for this script, on it’s page in the WordPress Plugin directory and again in the plugin’s readme.txt – so obviously I am not trying to scam anyone:

“DISCLOSURE
If you do not insert your own affiliate IDs the script will use mine. Hopefully this will help fund my book addiction!”

With this in mind, I’d appreciate it if you could update your post to correct the information.

Thanks

Pete

 

My response: I certainly had put my id in  and this was still happening when i had used this plugin , this might have been fixed since then . so you can most certainly  have a look for yourself if you interested in this plugin  and check it outfor yourself if you like.

hang over 2 review poster

First let me say that I absolutely loved the first movie “ hangover”. I’ve watched it countless times, both at the theater and on DVD. So how did the sequel stack up ?

It is  set in Bangkok instead of Vegas. and some of the jokes were funny, especially the “ scene where Stu discovers he slept with a Thai ladyboy” and later on when  he tells he go  the demon in him ,Alan tells him it was semen and not demons in him”

hangover dialogue script

So, okay.  Alan attends the wedding.  How do these guys ever trust anything from him again?  And particularly because Bradley Cooper’s character made a point of throwing away Alan’s marshmellows before their first beer Suprise !! Suprise!!.

It’s in reference to Alan’s letter that he read on the roof in the first film, he said that he was a lone wolf but as his circle of friends grew his "wolf pack" grew.

Warning: The movie  has a abundance of male and female  upper and lower genitals parts

How to achieve life’s goals

by Leave a Comment

Speech by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis

Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.

There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.
"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die. …….

One thing about nurturing the spark – don’t take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? ……

It’s ok to score low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, have little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices………" 🙂

"Don’t be serious, be sincere."!!
