Freebie Auctions!
Listia is an ebay-style auction site with a twist - everything is free! You "buy" and "sell" using points instead of cash. Get 450 points for signing up, then earn more by listing items, as well as through the various promos and bonuses. This is not an "offer" site, but a real auction site, and everything is free on Listia. There are no listing fees; in fact, many times they will pay you 50 points for listing an auction. Listia is a well-established site, offering a full range of items including collectibles, gift cards, electronics, books, and much more. I use Listia frequently to give away stuff I don't need, and get the stuff I want. I've won several great items, including an Itunes gift card. Check out Listia today, win your first free auction, and you'll be hooked! Listia.com

Affordable Web Hosting
If you are looking for cheap but quality web hosting, try Ipage. They offer a very comprehensive package for only $4.50 a month, including domain name, email, and many site-building tools for beginners and experienced webmasters.I have tried several different hosting companies, and Ipage is the best. Their Drag-and-Drop site builder is easy to use and more intuitive than the others, so even absolute beginners can have a great-looking website up in minutes. Ipage also offers many great tools for experienced users, with FTP and script support. I have used their customer support a few times, and found them to be very knowledgeable and helpful. Check out my website that I am building with Ipage (it's still a work in progress, with a lot of content still to be added): www.seashellsnmore.com. All in all, I highly recommend Ipage.

Access Your Bookmarks from Anywhere
Xmarks.com is one of the most useful browser add-ons you'll ever find. This simple little app is quick, easy, and safe to download, and automatically syncs your bookmarks between browsers and computers. Online backup makes it simple to view, add, or edit your bookmarks from any computer with internet access; just log into Xmarks with your username and password for instant access..
I searched a long time before I found this great website and add-on. Because I frequently use the public library's computers, I needed an easy way to access the bookmarks I had on my own computer, as well as add more when I found great websites at the library. Xmarks more than fulfilled my expectations, and I use it often.

Amazon.com
My first recommendation is well-known to most people: Amazon.com
. They have just about any product you need. Because they have multiple sellers, you can usually get a really good deal, and their checkout process is easy and straightforward. I do most of my online shopping at Amazon, and often tell others to go there when they are looking for something they need or want. Amazon is also a great storehouse for product information and reviews, making it very easy and convenient to comparison shop before making a purchase. Amazon.com
is one of my favorite websites, certainly my favorite shopping website.
As an added bonus, Amazon also offers an Affiliate Program
, so you can get commissions from sales of their products by putting their links on your website or blog.
