My Yeast Infection Problem

Argh, I've been suffering recently from yeast infection, thank god it's not anything bad like the vaginal yeast infection, it's more around the mouth (that's why it is called mouth yeast infection, or thrush), but it's quite bad anyway. Well, at least it was, but now I seem to get it under control.

I've started using some natural treatments and they seemed to really help. I even know why I got the yeast infection in the first place. I've been pretty ill the last few months and I've taken some strong antibiotics. The doctor did tell me that it might happen, and it did, indeed. You see, strong medicine, such as antibiotics bring down the strength of the good bacteria in your body, which means the body less immune to other bacteria attacks, such as candida. And once candida starts to grow and multiply, that's it for you really.

So taking more medicine is hardly an option for me, now is it. That's why I went onto home remedies for yeast infection and after about a week now I seem to have gotten rid of it. But I'll continue the natural cures for a few more days, just to make sure that the yeast infection won't return. Darn I hate having yeast infection. Never had it before and I hope I won't have it ever again!

What is Site Flipping

If you've been online for a while, trying to make money from your side-activities (internet marketing), I'm sure you've already come across the term 'site flipping'. But what is it? It can't be similar to burger flipping...right?

Well, site flipping is in a nutshell this: You start a site from scratch (you need to have technical knowledge for it), usually either in the form of a wordpress blog, or a regular html site, you add your unique articles to it (you need to reseach before hand on the subject, of course), you then drive traffic to your site, so you get unique visitors and possibly a sale or two on your site as well, an then you go and sell that site on a marketplace like flippa.com, to somebody who doesn't have either the knowledge to do all the above, or doesn't have the time. The buyer comes to Flippa.com to buy one of these startup sites, because he or she is more knowledgeable in bringing that startup site to new height and success and make money with it. He is more an internet marketer than a technical guru.

Selling startup sites (quality ones, not cheap imitations) are anything between $97 and $399. If you see any site cheaper than that, don't go for it, it has crappy stuff on it, maybe the domain is also one of those cheapie .info' domains that Google doesn't even like much, and it reeks of 'spam'. Always go for .com domain, possibly with no more than 2-3 words domain.

Let me give you an example. I was browsing Flippa.com for some nice sites to buy and I came across this it that has been put up last night: DietBlasters.com - the auction is here: http://flippa.com/auctions/70625/AFFILIATES-TIPS---Exclusive-Limited-Time-in-a-VERY-Profitable-Niche

See what I mean? The domain is a nice 2 word (keyword) domain, short and very brandable. The price is just right, as the articles are all unique. Btw, on the articles, don't just take the sellers' word. Go to their site, grab a portion of the article (copy a few paragraphs randomly), head over to Copyscape.com and check that the article is INDEED unique.
The header is a gorgeous one (I have to admit), and they also offer a second unique header, if you buy it with BIN (BIN means 'buy it now' price, instead of waiting for the auction to be over and maybe miss on a great sale.).

This is what I'm saying about site flipping. Whoever will get that site, will have a nice starting work already done for them. There are already several affiliate programs added on the site, which will make the buyer money early on. Of course, the buyer will drive more traffic to the site using articles, more blog posts, backlinks, the whole Internet Marketing shebang.
I'm curious how this site will evolve, once it is is sold.

British and French submarines crash in Atlantic

OMG is this for real? I've just been reading the news (slacking off at work a bit) when this bit of news caught my attention.

I mean how can two submarines crash in a massive water such as the Atlantic ocean - which is not a small lake for crying out loud!! And what's wose, both subs are armed with around 16 ballistic misiles.

The official sources still refuse to say anything about it. Of course, red tape, bureaucracy and politicial bullshit won't allow ut. And they definitely won't say anything about whether any radioactive leak has happened, which is quite possible.

A BBC correspondant just commented with what I just said at the beginning of this post:
""This is clearly a one-in-a-million chance when you think about how big the Atlantic is...".
Righto...

Rob Lowe leaving Brothers and Sisters - is this a fact?

Well, so far it's only a rumour, but quite a strong one. It's quite possible that it is true.

Rob Lowe joined ABC’s series Brother & Sisters back in March 2007 as Senator Robert McCallister. If the actor does leave it is because of his three former nannies who file lawsuits against him claiming breach of contract, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress and sexual harassment.

Let's see how this plays out. I'll keep you posted.

So I have insomnia

I can't sleep nights lately, I don't know what it is, the weather, time of the year, a full blown anxiety panic attack, my age, but for some reason I go late to sleep and I wake up too early. Insomnia. Lack of sleep. Or whatever else they call it. I have it. And it's darn pissing me off because day in and day out I'm all confused, dizzy and just sleepy. But I can't sleep at night.
I think I'll give sleep meditation a try. I found an article about it and I'm going to research more, maybe it will help. Something has to.
