Nu Url is a site that has an affiliate program while offering the benefits of shortening your ref-links, blog links, website links, and other links so that they won't be tampered with.
Their site is very easy to navigate and the shortening of URLs involves a simple process of basically only 3 clicks. (Only 3 more clicks to make SURE that you are organized in your members area).
1. Click the 'Create Nu Url' link 2. Enter the Url/ref-link that you want to protect/shorten 3. Click the 'Create Nu Url' Button....
Voila! Your link is created.
Okay okay - so you want to stay organized?
Click on the 'Members Area' link and your newly created URL will be in a list. You'll be able to 'edit' your link here - meaning - 'Name your link' using the edit feature so that you can easily tell which link is 'which-from-what-not' among the list.
From your Members Area, you can also 'reset' your link-hit count by clicking on the 'reset' icon directly beside each individual item. This won't reset everything, so it's great for tracking specific ref-links but not others - it's up to you.
Maybe you want a daily count on one site but a weekly count on another. If so, only re-set the daily onces that you're interested in tracking that way...simple
Also, from this area - you can view the Nu Url-made link or your original link so that if you forget where in the heck you put your ref-link data , you don't have to worry. Both bits of info waiting for you in your Members Area.
Did I mention that Nu Url will PAY YOU for using their program? Yep - they pay out, too, which is a bonus with this program. I would use their tracker service even if they didn't have an affiliate opportunity! The Nu Url system is just SO EASY to use!

The Miriam-Webster Dictionary gives the following explanation for the word 'kamikaze'
1. a member of a Japanese air attack corps in World War II assigned to make a suicidal crash on a target
2. an airplane containing explosives to be flown in a suicide crash on a target
These are fairly symbolic, pared-down, simplistic explanations of 'kamikaze,' however a history class that I recently attended at the University level gave me a more well-rounded understanding of 'kamikaze.'
Since I put the word 'Kamikaze' in my blog Title, I feel the need to explain further - rather than be mistaken as insinuating that readers adopt a kamikaze 'suicidal,' 'crash' technique of trying to make money online!
Kamikaze pilots were seen as having the quality of 'fearlessness' and were viewed as heroes by the global regions known to use the pilots. Westerners viewed the pilots as 'crazy,' and the title of 'kamikaze' has garnered quite a derogatory meaning because of this second, Western connotation.
It is true that kamikaze pilots flew in erractic fashion and appeared to make very dangerous decisions in the air, controlling their machinery in what appeared as 'risky' and 'suicidal' maneouvers. The truth of the matter is that MOST AIRPLANES of that era did not have very sophisticated controls for flight. MOST PILOTS of any aircraft - from any country - had limited control of their 'airships.' Kamikaze pilots had some of the very worst planes available.
Due to financial issues during WW II, certain countries had obviously less money than others. Those with less money made fewer planes, of poorer quality - however - with WW II considered a GLOBAL CONFLICT, certain countries still had the need to engage in air combat - regardless that their aircraft were of poor quality, without 'bells and whistles.'
Much of the erratic flight of the kamikaze pilots wasn't due to 'suicidal' decisions in the air or from deliberate dangerous manipulation of their craft in the sky at all. Their planes simply did not function in the same ways as other planes in the air. The nose-dive typically noticed in 'kamikaze flight' pilots was usually NOT a 'tactic' of flight designed to 'psyche-out' other pilots, as is often believed. Often, the nose-dive was NECESSARY for keeping the aircraft from losing speed and having the engine completely stall out. Pilots would nose-dive, then loop back up - just to keep in the air, stay in combat, etc. Many a time, the dive and loop was employed because the engine HAD ACTUALLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING and this 'dive and glide' kept the pilot from a sure plummet to his death.
Misreported are the instances where these pilots with useless engines - would loop, glide, loop and glide, in order to land and survive the flight experience itself. Other pilots would rarely know what happened to the kamikaze foe. The Japanese pilot would just 'disappear' from the sight of other pilots. Later, the incident would be reported as 'the Japanese craft just vanished!' All of these factors have contributed to a type of 'mystery' attached to the kamikaze pilots, which still outshines the truth today. Perhaps we still like to think in terms of 'mystery,' however, Kamikaze pilots weren't some strange, mysterious, suicidal, phantoms up in the air. They were very REAL, accomplished, and mentally focused pilots! Kamikaze pilots had to 'use the air currents' effectively, along with whatever controls were manageable and all their wits, too - while adversary pilots and machines did not have to take into consideration as much about air currents or worry about crash-landing or whether their engines would stall, even in regular, routine flight. In essence, the Kamikaze Pilots were in a constant state of multi-tasking, using every sense they could muster in order to make their craft obey what they needed to accomplish in the air, even if they were only in the air over safe territory, in a practice situation.
I take some issue even with the dictionary explanation I posted to lead this topic, because, truthfully - the Japanese pilots were not necessarily an 'attack' branch of pilots. (Weren't most aircraft designed for 'attack' purposes? Why aren't the other pilots called 'attack' pilots - when they, indeed, WERE on 'attack missions' against Japan?). Much of their reason for being in the air was DEFENSE. Their flight patterns, unlike ANY OTHER airplanes from any other country, granted them so much attention that all kinds of associations have been made - erroneously - about their presence and activity in WW II.
They were Japanese pilots who manipulated DIFFERENT TYPES OF MACHINES than other countries did. The appearances of their flight and the instances of their deaths have been associated with 'personality' of the pilots (crazy and suicidal) to give the term 'kamikaze' a negative connotation for many people - and also to enforce a strong and long-lasting racial stereotype (heartless, cruel Japanese). These pilots 'seem to have' (this is debatable, they may not have had more deaths but the attention their deaths received was greater than with other pilots) suffered higher instances of death - not because they conducted their machines in a suicidal, risky maner while in flight - but because their machinery had little in the way of 'safety' and control options - less than other countries' machines did. If a few things went 'wrong' in the air, the pilots often nose-dived to try and recover some control. If this didn't work, a crashing, fiery death was inevitable. These out-of-control crashes are often attributed as the 'suicidal crash on a target' which is also in the definition I choose to open this post with. The inference made in the definition is that the 'crash on a target' was calculated - whereas a great many crashes said to be 'intentional' and 'targetted' probably were NOT and were, instead, malfunctions and loss of basic control of the airplane.
As well, the firearms that these pilots had use of were often inferior to the ones their adversaries employed. Kamikaze pilots often had to get their aircraft much closer to their target than did other aircraft pilots. This had nothing to do with pilot 'heartlessness' where they thought so little of human life that they would get close enough to SEE the other pilot to watch him die (this is a crazy idea, isn't it? Nonetheless, it is a popular myth). It had to do with the fact that their firing range was so limited that they couldn't hit anything unless they were quite close to their target.
I believe it must have required great courage for kamikaze pilots to step aboard their aircraft, knowing how different the craft were from the ones they would face in the air. They would know, more than other pilots, how dangerous their next moments would be and that their life was in mortal danger - yet they trained as well as they could to know their machines and they didn't see their situations as 'impossible.' They saw the possibilities of utilizing air currents, utilizing split-second human judgements in the air, and they flew their planes remarkably well - all considered.
They also SURVIVED remarkably well, all considered. It is a shame that their efforts and their actions have been so sorely misinterpreted.
Thousands of people - probably hundreds of thousands of people - look to the internet as a means to rid themselves of crappy jobs, crappy bosses, and mediocre paycheques. Most of these people are dreaming of the day they can enjoy MORE TIME with their families and friends, doing things they WANT TO DO instead of things they HAVE TO DO. People dream of dream jobs (big pay for little effort), dream homes, dream dates, and ideal situations. Obviously, in most global regions of the world, the abundance of MONEY will afford people the option of a higher degree of TIME available for families, friends and for doing things they want to do. Logically, it follows that people need more MONEY then, to be able to realize their dreams.
When asked, "How will you make your dreams into reality?" Most people BALK! Then they start to assume that (only because they don't know the 'HOW TO' part yet) they cannot realize their dreams and make them into 'reality.' From this train of thought and when people can't instantly answer the question, they start to focus on the negative, blank areas of the problem. Within a short time and, with no solid answer in front of them, most people simply GIVE UP their dreams - believing that they are not within their reach.
At this point, ALL IS LOST. People head back to their Traditional Jobs - under the potent assumption that 'dreams are just dreams' and 'traditional jobs are the reality' - the only jobs that really bring in the money with which to live.
The belief that traditional jobs are the jobs that bring in money - IS A FAULTY BUT COMMON BELIEF. These jobs are simply 'traditional jobs that bring in money.' That's all. They are a TYPE of job, one kind of WAY TO bring in money. They are concrete, explainable to a majority of people - and most of all - THEY ARE COMMON AND ACCEPTED by a majority of people.
THERE ARE THINGS IN LIFE OTHER THAN TRADITIONAL, KNOWN, COMMON JOBS.
People that stop problem-solving about how to reach the things they want - will not find the things they want ever within reach, however, people that keep problem-solving usually realize their dreams.
Ignorance is not bliss where dreams are concerned! Not knowing the 'hows' of getting to your dreams is simply 'being ignorant about how' to get what you want. Inhibiting or stopping the 'problem-solving' just reinforces the 'not knowing how' until no hope is left at all.
If you don't know how - FIND OUT! Ask questions, do research, hunt down the information you need that will bring you closer to what you want. Take responsibility for finding out all you can about HOW TO make your life better.
Step # 2 - Take action against ignorance and FIND OUT the HOW TO information that you need. The information is out there - FIND IT.
Ignorance is not an option. Overcome the fact that you don't know how - be FEARLESS in your pursuit of information that will tell, show, and explain HOW you can reach your goals.
My online earning experiences started with careful tenacious steps. It didn't take long for my computer to become kamikazi-ated and totally disorganized with eBooks, training 'help,' 'Get Rich By Monday' and 'Guaranteed Or Your Money Back' material.
I didn't get rich by Monday...or by the next Monday - or the next, either. I didn't ask for my money back because it took me so long to get through some of the training material that I missed the 'money back by this date' date.
It doesn't matter - it simply DOES NOT MATTER. Know why?
Because LEARNING BY MISTAKES IS UNDER UNDER UNDERRRRRRRRATED! That's WHY!
I'm not sure why - but most people will tell you NOT TO MAKE MISTAKES. I think that is garbage. I think that the best learing often comes from learning not to do something repeatedly that doesn't work. A great deal of learning is about filtering OUT mistakes.
Therefore - the most important thing about learning to earn online is TO STOP BEING AFRAID OF FAILURE! Heck if I had never taken any action because of everything scary in this world - I'd never have learned how to ride a bike when I was little (*Hint - incorporate the FEARLESSNESS of a child and you will begin to move forward - just like you did when you were a child!). If I'd veered away from everything that was uncomfortable or new, I'd never have learned to play guitar, either - those little, harmless-looking strings HURT at first but the discomfort is WORTH IT once you realize that you finally played a WHOLE SONG using just your fingers and an object that can't DO ANYTHING WITHOUT YOU.
I don't have the perfect 'Get Rich' formula yet but I know a lot about THINGS TO AVOID online, so much of this blog will be dedicated to telling WHAT DOES NOT WORK. I can say what to do INSTEAD of things that don't work and I can tell of what works for me.
The first thing that DOES NOT WORK when you're trying to earn online is:
Crappy Self-Talk and Negativity. (Saying to yourself, "I'll bet this won't work," and "I don't know what I'm doing, so this ain't gonna work out.").
When someone first told me that you can make money with Adsense and Blogging, I said "I'll bet this won't really work - probably because I'm a 'newbie' I won't be able to figure anything out." And, "Those people who are making money this way are people who already know a lot about computers - but I don't, so I probably won't be successful."
I didn't earn a damn thing while I was talking to myself that way.
I'll let you think about these things for a bit.
When I come back to post, I'll let you know the #2 thing that DID NOT WORK for me online.
Ever heard of 12-Step programs? They work pretty good for people who create 'chaos' in their lives and who take a 'kamikazi,' erratic path through life. 12-Step programs give great suggestions about how to get back to SIMPLE thinking and re-order your habits.
My Kamikaze Methods blog will have 'erratic,' miscellaneous information on it at times, but I am only going to work with 2 STEPS - 'cos that's as SIMPLE as I can get here. 12-step methods are for 'whole-life' consideration - this blog is not for the purpose of whole-life - it's just for KEEPING MONEY MAKING SIMPLE - so it only requires 2 Steps!
You have the FIRST step outlined already for you - "STOP BEING AFRAID OF FAILURE. Just Stop."
I have a wide range of interests from writing and blogging to researching on the topic of poverty. I study urban mythology and like to observe how the world works via the way people interact with each other.
