That product, was a complete waste of time and space.  If you bought it, well, you didn’t buy it from me, but if you did buy it, I urge you to return it for a refund.  Seriously.

You can get more and better guidance and information from this blog, and from looking over Yaro Starak’s blogging information than you ever could from blogging to the bank.

If you read it, you do not need specific examples.  If you haven’t read it, let me give you one example:

On page 5, Rob Benwell talks about the ‘The 3 Big Changes in Big Money Blogging’.  These are:
* Blog advertising is big
* Free blogs are dead

That’s no typo on my behalf.  There is no number 3. Queue Jeff Goldblum saying “There’s no step 3!” Get a refund before it’s too late.  Don’t waste your time buying this dribble. Once again, I apologize for posting a link to a product before I’ve looked at it.

This webtool that I’m going to tell you about today, is called No-IP dynamic DNS.  It’s a pretty neat tool, and let me tell you why.

Say you’re at a hotel away from home, or you’re at work and you need to get something from your home computer.  Assuming that the computer is turned on, how do you access your home computer remotely?

Well, for one, you’d need to know the IP address of the computer.  I won’t get into the other details, but suffice it to say that home IP addresses are dynamic, so they change on a regular basis.  How regular depends on your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

This is where No-IP comes in.

What they do, is that they provide a domain name that you can use for your home computer.  So instead of having to remember 169.254.23.258, you only have to rememeber something like http://yourname.no-ip.com/. Where “yourname” is the username that you got for yourself.

The best part, is that unlike your dynamically assigned IP address, the IP name never changes, so you don’t have to keep memorizing or keeing track of new names.

Pretty neat if you ask me.

No-IP has several levels of service, ranging from a very basic free version on up.  Go to their site and check out their pricing.

I’ve gotten some great ideas for traffic building, new products etc. from there.
