I dont want one with software for setting it up, as I’m learning html at the moment and want to build it from square one.

“Real women ride!”

The motorcycle and the open road have always been metaphors for freedom. Between Kerouac’s “On the Road” and Persig’s “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”, the counterculture embraced that ideal and roared with it. Shocking Blue did two B-sides, “Harley Davidson” (1969) and “Get It On” (1975), that tread that path.

For women, whose lives were locked up in farms or drawing rooms in the 1800’s, the bicycle, the car, and the plane were transports of liberation in the 20th century. Amelia Earhart and black aviatrix Bessie Coleman opened up the skies. Linda Gudeau (The Motor Maids) and Louise Scherby (Women’s International Motorcycle Association) scorched the tarmac. The cycle helped them to explore new gender roles, sensuality, self-reliance, equity, and the land in vaster vistas. This proud, rich heritage extends today from Motorcycle Clubs like the Amazon WMC and the Cycle Sisters, to the ultra-hellions, Dykes On Bikes. An open range is possibility, an open road is freedom.

Included here are varied angles like: vintage cycle ads, motorcyle mamas galore, Betty Page and pin-up art, Luciana Paluzzi (“Thunderball”), mod scooters, the Shangri-La’s, Batgirl, Marianne Faithfull, Bridget Bardot (who sang her own classic “Harley Davidson”), Ann Margaret, Crepax’s “Valentina” comics, Francoise Hardy and “Pravda” -the pop art comic she inspired, Janis Joplin, hippie hedonism, Black Canary, biker grrrl movies like “Hell’s Belles” vesus bike mag pin-ups, Betty Davis, and the Runaways. Everyone your mother warned you about or may have been!

About SHOCKING BLUE: They started as a male rocking quartet in Holland who had the good fortune to replace their lead singer with Mariska Veres. Doe-eyed and direct, Mariska belted it out with the best of them. They broke through worldwide with the #1 smash, “Venus,” in 1970. Time has borne out the depth of their work; their catalog is rich with strong melodies in varied styles which have given them a cult following. Artists as diverse as BANANARAMA (“Venus”) to NIRVANA (“Love Buzz”), the PRODIGY (“Phoenix” uses “Love Buzz”) and FATBOY SLIM (sampled “Send Me a Postcard”) have tributed them. Mariska’s tough wail was the foil for the deft guitar work of Robbie van Leeuwen, a tasteful and inspired player who is much underrated. Their work from 1968 to 1975 is great stuff. Even a few reunion singles in ’86 and ’94 hold the chemistry. Sadly, Mariska passed in December of 2006, and this is dedicated with respect to her.

When you load a site into your browser and see small advertisement blocks here and there with “Ads by Google” appearing nearby, you probably know that when you click on them, someone receives a credit for payment under Google’s AdSense program. AdSense is a pay-per-click (PPC) scheme that benefits marketers, buyers and the webmasters who display advertisements on their sites. By bringing together a buyer looking for specific products or services (by entering a term or terms in a search engine), sellers of those products and services and encouraging webmasters to provide the medium by which this happens (their sites), everyone in the equation benefits. It’s a truly win-win situation and a brilliant concept.Because I use AdSense advertisements on my site, but have not yet optimized my income from them, I have been researching ways to do so. I knew that some people were making quite reasonable supplementary incomes from Google AdSense and that it has the potential to add more significantly to my income if I could find out how it’s done. Like everyone else, I want a bigger share of the pie.During my research I found Codrut Turcann’s ebook, “AdSense Confessions” which promises to tell you … How 9 Average People, Not Gurus, Cracked The Code To AdSense Income Boosting And How You Can Copy Their Money-Making Tactics! Plus… Discover How You Can Quickly Catapult Your AdSense Earnings By 450% Or More Using A Powerful, No-Fail Marketing Arsenal.What’s in this ebook?”AdSense Confessions” consists of 101 pages detailing the success stories of nine people who have, to varying degrees, mastered AdSense sufficiently to earn regular incomes. Each from a different perspective tells his or her story about how they came to AdSense, tested, retested and eventually mastered AdSense to realize a greater income. One or two are still working on improvements to the AdSense aspects of their businesses to earn even greaterlevels of income.As everyone knows, duplicating the models successfully used by others is a shortcut to success … medical practitioners use it daily, so do marketers. There is every reason to believe that if you follow the proven methods used by the nine people whose stories are told in this ebook, you will have a similar degree of success. Interestingly, the nine contributors do not only discuss AdSense, they also discuss matters such as search engine optimization, keywords, web design, link management etc, all of which is good advice and makes this ebook even more useful. Evidence of earnings is provided as are numbers of examples of sites with AdSense adverts showing successful placement of AdSense ads.Although most of the content confirms what I already know, for someone new to Internet marketing, web design or using Google AdSense, Codrut’s ebook will save them a lot of time and effort in getting to the income earning stage.Is it value for money?The price for “AdSense Secrets” is $69.97 USD and it is downloaded almost immediately. Included in that price are the following bonuses: Ebook, “101 Quick Tips to Increase AdSense Income in 30 Days” FREE Profit-Pulling AdSense Site Critique and One-On-One Support By E-mail – Anytime You Need Help or Have An AdSense-Related Problem! “AdSense Profit Shortcuts” – Monthly eLetter A mystery bonus (value not known) Value for money is a personal thing depending on so many variables that I can’t answer that question for you. What I can say is that I find $69.97 quite a steep price (especially given the Australian exchange rate which knocks me about). However, if you can use the bonuses, especially bonus two of a free AdSense critique, it could represent value for money. The free critique and one-on-one support could be worth thousands … if you make sure you use it.Also, there are numbers of links within the text that lead to free utility programs etc that add value to your purchase.And the Negatives?In my opinion the only negatives are that the ebook isn’t as professionally presented as it could be (given the price) and that the downloading process is convoluted. Having said that, if you are looking for content and don’t care if the format and layout is ordinary, then presentation of the ebook won’t matter. As for the downloading, it involves completing a subscription box and sending an email from a post-payment page to retrieve a link to another page from which the downloads can be made. But before the final download step, one has to confirm the email details. All of this could be prevented if the download page presented immediately after purchase.ConclusionIf you want to learn how to establish or increase an AdSense PPC stream of income, this book certainly delivers the goods and will give you a good start.There are dozens of things you can do today to generate income almost immediately. Add to that the bonuses, especially the one-on-one support and you will be well on your way to joining those of us who earn income from AdSense for doing nothing but placing links on our sites.I’ve already begun to improve some of my AdSense strategies and will be monitoring income increase throughout the next three months at which time I’ll write an article detailing my findings. Watch this space!
