BillShrink $250 Cash Giveaway Winner Announced!

Last week, I announced a money giveaway offered by BillShrink, where a randomly selected commenter would be awarded $250 in cash. I requested for you to help name BillShrink’s website model and to check out their tools, which aim to help you save money on your gas bills, cell phone plans and credit card payments.

Not an accurate representation of the actual prize, but close enough.

Well, the time has finally come for the winner to be announced! My random pick is comment #16, by “jen”, who supplied four interesting names for the model, funny enough! But out of the four names (Billie, Penny, Dolores N. Cents, Payshence Saves ;) ), I guess I’d like to settle on the conventional name “Penny”. It’s simple and fits the “pretty penny” mold, which is what BillShrink helps you save. So I’ll be getting in touch with jen soon to send her the $250 prize.

And for all those of you who joined our giveaway, I would like to say a heartfelt thanks for taking the time to check out BillShrink and for leaving us a comment. I hope to get the opportunity to hold more giveaways like this in the future!


Let’s now check on this week’s great bunch of reads from some of my favorite financial talking heads. As always, it’s a list I enjoyed putting together:

Why Fear Gum Disease?

dental irrigators

Awareness of gum disease is at our fingertips. Education is readily available. Sometimes we neglect to realize how it can affect us. Bacteria, that forms in the mouth is a main cause. It can cause damage to the gums.

Once the bacteria settles over time, it begins destroying tissues between gums and teeth, known as periodontal disease. When this happens we know there is a problem, but don’t often think of gum disease as being the cause.

The initial stage of gum disease begins with plaque build up. Plaque is constantly forming on your teeth, and we aren’t always aware of it. If you are wondering how, its bacteria, that forms plaque. This can be controlled with regular dental visits routine cleaning. You can help with daily oral hygiene which includes brushing thoroughly after all meals and snacks. If you don’t floss, this a good practice to incorporate into your daily routine as well. This helps cut down on build up.

Eventually, plaque turns into a solid, firm layer which is identified as tarter. Once tarter sets in, it is extremely difficult to remove it. You’d have to seek a professional for a scraping as it is snuggly attached to the teeth. To avoid this phase of gum disease, good oral hygiene habits help. Going to your dentist, typically twice a year for cleanings, and the brushing and flossing are good prevention measures.

The next phase after tarter, is deterioration of the tissue. When the tissue has been damaged, it causes the teeth to separate. Meaning, they will soon become lose and in the long run, you will begin to lose them.

Education on gum disease, learning about its causes and effects can be alarming. With the advancements in technology and medical enhancements, it can be overcome.

Website Traffic – What It Is And How To Get It

Ever see a kid play “Whack a Mole”? The game starts out pretty mild – this little puppet thing pops up out of one of a dozen holes, and the kid bops it on the head with a little sledgehammer thing. (OK, probably not the most animal-friendly message to pass along, but they seem to enjoy playing it.) As the game goes on, more of these moles pop up – sometimes at the same time, and the kid has got to really have some good hand-eye coordination to whack them before they disappear. They get all excited – the faster these things pop up, and the more of them that pop at once, the better. What would it be like to have traffic that came to your website like that? (Of course, probably not a good idea to hit your visitors with a sledgehammer.) Please note that having quality Web Traffic is the important thing to make money online

3 Steps To Grow Your Backlinks

In order to succeed with a Internet home business you must have backlinks. They are key to your rankings with the search engines so gaining as many as possible should be the goal of any website owner. Unfortunately increasing the total of backlinks to your website can be a rather time consuming process. There are websites that for a fee will get you backlinks but with these you usually have no control of the quality of the link that you receive and the fees they charge can be quite high. Most people who start their new home based business are (or should be) on a tight budget and paying a fee for backlinks is an expense that most avoid.

Internet Search Site For The Visually Inclined: Spezify

Have you seen this new internet search site yet? I got to playing with this fun, visual search web site called Spezify , which promises to be colorful, though I’m not sure if there’s anything more value added here, other than the cosmetics. Well technically speaking, it’s not a search engine per se, but a site that serves as a pretty front for your searches. Here’s an example of some results I got when I searched for myself: I find it pretty neat — it’s definitely a novelty, but I’m wondering just how practical and functional it is. It reminds me of that Wordle thing I played with a while ago in this post. I like the cool presentations and the creativity here, and I can see the appeal of these applications on those who can appreciate some great visuals. I’m already thinking of the implications
