The widely publicized hack to use Google to search for MP3 files has been around for a long time. Several sites have done a good job of using the technique to produce a good front end to the process and also allow you to search for other files too such as PDFs and videos.
I stumbled across the new WorryAboutYou site today which does an amicable job of the same process, with the added benefit of giving you a direct download link to the file - which other sites do - but not so easily.
Other sites like Seeqpod are better as they let you create a playlist of tracks you find on the fly, but do not give you the link to download the track from. WorryAboutYou is simple, quick and provides relevant tracks - even though the name is a little odd. You can also choose to remove duplicates from the list too.
You can use this to download tracks to upload to your MuxTape account. What? You haven’t started using that yet either?

It has been announced today that Oasis will be releasing their new single “The Shock Of The Lightning” on September and 29th.
This will be closely followed by their new album “Dig Out Your Soul” on October 6th.
I know lots of people hate the pretentious, arrogant, gibbon-like rockers but I still love them.
Plus - it will give me a few new tunes to play on my guitar!

It has been just over a month since I posted my grand plan to get 100 affiliate sites up and running by the end of the year to bring in some extra cash. - hopefully enough to pay my mortgage each month.
I have only created 4 more sites since then - so I am way off target for completing my goal.
I have started to realise that making 100 sites will bring me some money, but I will also have to do the following:
- Add unique content to each page on each site.
- Add links from other places to each site to build its profile in Google.
- Make sure each site is working all the time.
- Analyse each one regularly to monitor how people got to my site and what they came searching for and adjust it accordingly.
So, making a few sites selling high value items that are optimised is the way to go I think.
Quality not quantity
I have a total of 7 sites using the new software I bought to make them with and I am on target to earn back what I have spent already. Including the cost of the domains.
It does get addictive though.
Searching for a new niche market that has the right amount of searches in Google and the right amount of competing pages backed by a solid, regular selling high priced item that people NEED and WANT.
It’s actually fun just doing that bit!
If anyone is interested in what I am doing, I might knock together an eBook describing the process and how to make money at the end of it.
Well, it's not a giant lizard slaying robot and its not a new religion.
