  The tool I want to show today is really cool. The guys behind Nmap.org, according to Alexa, have scanned the top 1 million sites on the web, and created a tool that allows to show the result based the favicon graph of each one. The size of each favicon in the graph indicate the traffic each website has.
  
  You can try this tool by clicking on this link.
  
  I wanted to try the service, so I used the search function, and here the result(look the image above). The only problem with my site is that the service doesn't show my latest favicon, but the favicon of my Frugal theme yet. Maybe has need to be upgraded to get the latest favicon logo.
  
  If you have an Alexa rank below 1,000,000, you are able to identifying the favicon of your website and the websites you know. Also, it allows you to zoom in and out. Through their search box you should be able to find your favicon in a few second.

  An electronic mailing list, is a list of names and addresses which are often used for widespread distribution of information to many Internet users.
  
  Typically refers to four things:
  
  1. A list of e-mail addresses; 2. The people (“subscribers”) that receiving mail at those addresses, 3. the publications (e-mail messages) sent to those addresses.
  
  Now, if you don’t have traffic to you site, it’s similar to opening a store in the middle of the desert! No one will find you. So the biggest ways that you have to know so much to make money with the affiliate program, is how get traffic to your website.
  
  Why?
  
  high traffic = high money
  
  Well, one of the most easiest methods to have success as marketer online is to create an good advertising campaign.
  
  But what does it means the word ‘advertising campaign‘?
  
  In a nutshell is a list of advertisement messages that share a single information which make up an integrated marketing communication and it’s important to directing people on your blog/site.
  
  A mailing list is one of the most powerful marketing tools you’ll ever have in your blog. With a mailing list you could know anyone are and what they are interested in. You can manage subscriptions and send them information about your website and invite them back to your site again and again.
  
  When someone signs up to your mailing list, it receive email from administrators. By offering unique contents is the better ways to receive many subscriptions, also if the trouble is that a lot of people are lazy and they enter their names in lowercase.
  
  If you get your visitors to subscribe to a mailing list, you can also getting people to click on ads. Is one of the better ways to increase your profit dramatically and very fast.
  
  Normally, the web form your autoresponder provides you looks like this:
  
  I’ve been using this look and it works fine, but many people also add a red lipstick round the button.
  
  Some online products and services offer to their customers the software for keeping in a simple spreadsheet all subscription.Without that, your site is never going to be successful.
  
  Firstly you need the software to bulk Email Marketing Services. If you don’t want to pay a $19/month with Aweber, you can use PHPlist. You can also use FeedBlitz which allows you to monitors RSS feeds and Web URLs and provide greater reach for feed publishers.
  
  FeedBlitz manages subscriptions, circulation tracking, testing, and is compatible with all major blogging platforms and services such as Blogger, Typepad and FeedBurner.
