Updated MyBB Thread/Post Ads Plugin

I have updated this plugin. There is a bug with MyBB and Google AdSense that causes blank pages. I’ve set up the plugin so that it has the option to use an iframe for the ads, which fixes this issue. I have also done some general code cleanup and styling. Update: I just added the [...]

Cool method for getting high PR backlinks

Just read this idea somewhere, a clever way to get backlinks. Submit your site to traffic estimation sites like CubeStat, Alexa, WebSiteOutlook, etc. These sites have good PR, and upon submitting your site, you get a free link.

Free Hosting Bug

Just launched this site a couple days ago, it is a comparison engine for free hosting plans, along with user reviews.

Check it [...]
