Being anywhere in the world outside the United States does not mean that you have to go without comparison shopping. There are sites for those in Australia that not only can you, as a shopper, compare prices on things like laptops and shoes, but as an advertiser, you can use pay per click advertising as a way to get more sales through the site.

MyShopping.Com.AU is a site where you can do any of these things. Comparison shopping will always be important to the thrifty consumer. I’m sure that there are plenty of people in Australia who would like to know where to get the best deals on items in their own country. Websites like the one linked provides the right kind of opportunities for shoppers to not only save time, but money to find items that they are looking for when they go shopping.

In the United States a comparable site would likely be something like MySimon. You know, I don’t even know if my simon is still around, but if it is, that is the site that would compare. I enjoy using a single website to find all the information I’m looking for in one place. The worst parts of sites like Shop.com is the spam and just junk that I usually find. I wish there were a way to avoid that.

Promotional Ads: – Promotional Ads are now available for purchase on our site starting at $15 per month and appear on the homepage(below the first post) and at the bottom of a post on the post page. Interested parties should visit the Advertising section for more information.

Moderation: – A few people have been writing in asking what makes their comments go to moderation on our website. While I would like to directly answer the question I have to guard the secret because it helps control spam comment here.

However, I can give you a few examples that will defiantly get a comment that you make sent to moderation and a couple that will probably just get your comments canned(sent directly to trash).

First off note that commenting on The Lucrative Investor or any website should be a real actual comment. Meaning don’t leave a comment simply for SEO reasons, make a comment that someone would actually want to read. As a comment is a reflection of you and who you are.

Don’t hire people to make comments on our site or any site. Most paid comment services can barely write a complete sentence, or at the very least contribute anything beneficial to the discussion. If a comment is sent to moderation and we have to reconstruct it to make sense because it is so badly worded chances are we will simply delete it.

A good comment not only reflects well upon you but also allows more discussion to take place. This allows every to make more comments and help each other out and foster better conversation.

Good Comment

While the current economic crisis at first was thought to last for many years, people’s recent growing belief that the worst is behind us implies to me that the economy may be better in the 4th quarter of this year.

Comments That Will Get Sent to Moderation

Current economic crisis is bad for all especially people hard work. People have faith in system to recover our belief must restore to learn themselves or no reward.

Comment That Will Simply Be Auto Deleted

Econmic(hyperlinked) sytem people crisis for al. Yes real. i faith to system must restore

Just remember

Weather or not your comment makes it onto the site is up to us. However, the best way to have your comments not get sent to moderation is to look at what comments are live and make as equally good comments.

The better the comment that you make the less likely that your comment will be sent to moderation.
We reserve the right to edit or remove any comment left on the site.
