The Faceless 50

May God Bless those 50 workers in the Japanese Power Plants! They basically are sacrificing their lives to attempt to save the lives of many in Japan. Talk about the ultimate sacrifice for your country. About fifty workers are staying behind at Fukushima plant even though there is radiation leakage.

‎ The final 50 workers at Fukushima have left after radiation levels got extremely high. The Washington Post is reporting that the 50 workers are struggling to prevent a nuclear meltdown in Japan and finally have been evacuated. Being named the faceless 50 workers making “perhaps existential” sacrifices to avert nuclear disaster. Why are 50 workers having to remain at the nuclear facility during a crisis anyway?

Washington Post and CNN around 11:30 pm EST finally reported that the 50 workers struggling to prevent a nuclear meltdown in Japan have been evacuated, and‎ CNN is reporting that last 50 workers at Fukushima reactor evacuated shortly after an explosion. Nobody is currently left there to fix or clean up any damage

Since the Quake the official death toll rises to 3,676 -/+

Those 50 nuclear power plant employees are so much more that ANYTHING anyone could possibly say about them.

They are the countries true heros!

The media says the workers had to leave for 45 minutes while radiation got too high but went back when it went down. Shortly after is when the facility became more over taken with radiation. A unacceptable level of radiation was “reported” but not “recorded”.

They have since suspended operations at the facility, and the Governor says radiation levels in Tokyo 20 times the normal.

This is true heroism for the Faceless 50!

We Pray for you…

Linkshare

Linkshare

Linkshare is a affiliate marketing program. Affiliate marketing programs are a type of revenue generating system that allows a percentage or flat rate to the website owner.

If you become apart of the LinkShare Network you’ll have an opportunity to establish and sustain profitable relationships with some of the most recognized brands in the world.

These clicks must lead to a purchase, if a user clicks a relevant ad and actually purchases something then the commission is paid out within a certain time frame (usually 2-90 days). The purchase must be in the allotted time frame that the cookies remains on a persons PC or Web device.

The system works kind of like this, a publisher displays ads, text links, or product links from an advertiser in return for a commission when a sale is made or when a lead is acquired. The sale can also be tied to a specific action such as filling out a form or downloading a trial.

How I started

How I started off:

I first want to tell you a little about myself and my background to prove that I was not exactly a whiz-bang when it came to computers or the internet. I grew up in a small town that was mostly dirt roads, and your neighbors were around an acre or two away from your house.

The internet was new and I loved the fact that it shorted the distance between things by reaching an item without having to be actually there. After about a year I started noticing a miniature population boom and houses appearing everywhere, the small city I knew became the sub-division “house dwellers” DREAM..

The ever expanding web was growing and I would traveled to the library to get online and check my email and read my favorite social network site updates and messages. Most of the time I had no real business online other than friending someone on Myspace or Facebook and the occasional “Follow On” Twitter to read to what friends where posting.

Sometimes I would sit and read random information I could really careless about but I would surcum to spending around two to three hours looking at video and reading countless stories about how to make a living, get rich quick, and what someone could do to have a decent lifestyle with almost “NO” effort.

Bidvertisers

Bidvertiser

This is one of the most popular ad company’s next to Google. They do just the same as far as relation to content, ad formatting, ad filtering and banner styles. The only difference is Bidvertiser has about 1/3 of the clientele, meaning Google offers a more wide variety of advertisers or 3rd party advertisers.

This campaign is probably the most easy to use for webmasters. Bidvertiser offers a wordpress plugin for most of the people who want a widget for marking or placing ads. (via widget for more control over styling) .

Widgets could be the key to your success with Bidvertisers, I find the more control over your publisher code the better control you will have over the site. Plug-in’s that allow multiple widgets might work best with your wordpress, joomla, or drupal content management systems..
