OffTo.net is a free service that can:

• Remove links to the affiliate program from the vendor’s landing page - With OffTo.net links, you have the option of removing any links on the landing page that point to the vendor’s affiliate program. This saves you lost commissions from the visitors you send seeing that there’s an affiliate program, signing up, and purchasing through their own link instead of yours.
• Provide click tracking - Unlike other free cloaking services, OffTo.net provides both raw click through and unique click through counts. Compare those figures against the number of sales you’ve made and you can calculate your conversion rates.
• Send traffic through your links - The most recently created links are shown on the home page. This gives other OffTo.net users the opportunity to click YOUR link and see if they like what you’re offering. They also give visitors the ability to browse through older OffTo.net links, giving you even more traffic potential.

Why wait? Give it a try.

RealTrafficExchange is a traffic exchange network with a difference. This is a high quality network that works much like AdWords and AdSense (only it’s a lot easier).

Here’s how it works:

• You sign up for a free account.
• You add sites into the network, which are reviewed for quality and content.
• You drop some javascript onto those sites, and when your visitors click on the targeted, AdSense-like ads shown on your pages, you earn credits.
• You spend those credits by creating your own ads which get shown on targeted pages relating to your ads.

The ads that appear on your pages are targeted to your page content. If no ads are found matching your page content, then ads from the same category are displayed. In like manner, your ads are displayed on pages matching the content and/or category of your ad.

It is easy. In just a few minutes you can be ready to roll.

Getting Real is a smaller, faster, better way to build software.

Getting Real is an eBook by 37signals. The eBook is free to read on the net but you need to pay in case you want a paperback or pdf version. Again a ‘must-read’.

Getting Real is about skipping all the stuff that represents real (charts, graphs, boxes, arrows, schematics, wire-frames, etc.) and actually building the real thing.

Getting real is less. Less mass, less software, less features, less paperwork, less of everything that’s not essential (and most of what you think is essential actually isn’t).

Getting Real is staying small and being agile.

Getting Real starts with the interface, the real screens that people are going to use. It begins with what the customer actually experiences and builds backwards from there. This lets you get the interface right before you get the software wrong.

Getting Real is about iterations and lowering the cost of change. Getting Real is all about launching, tweaking, and constantly improving which makes it a perfect approach for web-based software.

Getting Real delivers just what customers need and eliminates anything they don’t.
