    Online casinos reviewed

    October 24th, 2007

    For those into online gambling, you are spoilt for choice. Apparently there are currently almost 3,000 online casinos to choose from.

    A staggering number, but which online casino is the best?

    Those making their first foray, and even seasoned campaigners, would do well to have a shortlist of sites to check out before settling on one. In other words, it’s a timesaver.

    pro360.com reviews these and so far has done so for hundreds of them. Important factors determining your final selection such as game experience, trust score and bonuses offered for online poker, craps, slots and roulette are examined in detail.

    According to pro360.com, the best online casino overall is fulltiltpoker.com, with a maximum bonus of USD600, an Editor Rating of 9.5 and Player Rating of 8.

    Having said that, not all players are the same – each has their own preferences in things like features, bonus structures and even graphics. Therefore it’s worth reading as much reviews as possible.

    As an additional incentive, there is the casino signup bonus on every review page, whose amount are usually bigger than what the online casions offer directly.

    Ashop Commerce’s hosted shopping cart software

    September 24th, 2007

    Ashop Commerce is a US based company offering a total solution for you to begin selling online. Their products include hosted shopping cart software.

    There are of course many other companies offering similar services, so Ashop Commerce listed several ways in which they stand out from the rest:

    Firstly, some of the other vendors offer “shop in a box” facilities. Ashop claims that you have to bear in mind that there could be hidden costs in things like upgrades, security, support, hosting, bugs, feature upgrades, advice, gateway fees as well as the software purchase. The whole thing can end up costing you more than you expected, as well as being not beginner-friendly to set up.

    Secondly, vendors offer development of web stores from scratch. However this entails time and money: both precious commodities. There are also monthly fees which can turn out to be similar in amount to Ashop’s fees.

    Lastly, Ashop claims that they are specialists in online shopping cart software development, and that most other companies can only give you a portion, and an inferior one at that, of what Ashop can do. In fact, most shopping cart providers are in reality, companies that simply resell existing ecommerce software, not one that they developed themselves.

    Ashop’s software can do the whole range: stock control, customer relations, search engine promotions, sales reports and invoicing.

    That, as well as the following:
    - free technical support services by e-mail, web chat and phone
    - fully customizable design. This is done from the web-based administration panel
    - free upgrades as technology improves
    - free SSL security
    - search engine optimization
    - affordable monthly payments. The cost starts at less than USD40 per month.

    Perhaps the best is this: you can sign up for a full-function 10 day free trial, without even the need to give out your credit card details.

    Dialaflight.com: worldwide travel services

    September 14th, 2007

    DialAFlight is a United Kingdom-based travel company offering flight, hotel, even car hire reservation and travel ideas to destinations worldwide.

    Their website is a good place to start exploring your options for holidays overseas.

    Currently focusing on weekend breaks, they have quite a lot of cities to choose from, with something for everyone: sightseeing, shopping, kids-friendly, nightlife, culture, beach. The cities include world renowned Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Venice, Prague, Vienna and Nice. Personally, I’ve been to all of them save Barcelona and I must say the experiences were unforgettable.

    Different from a guided tour, DialAFlight would organise the flights and accomodation – you are free to choose where to eat, and what to see and do. Hence, you can also call these short breaks as city breaks!

    They also offer many other holiday offers including beach and spa holidays.

    To book, DialAFlight requires you to call and discuss your plans with one of their UK-based travel consultants. Verbal discussion via phone will ensure that you’d be absolutely sure that you get exactly the holiday that you had in mind.

    This opportunity is only open to:

    - existing and active (code up for at least a month already) Advertlets members, limited to 100 bloggers from Malaysia and Singapore (read: hurry!!)

    - those who have not received any Advertlets cheque yet.

    So what do you need to do?

    Write a post about Advertlets. Josh gave no specific format to buzz on, and you can write in either English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, Singlish (English as it is commonly spoken in Singapore) or Romanized Hokkien.

    Deadline is 30th September 2007, but I have a feeling the 100 places will run out much earlier. So be quick!
