List of Unique Bars in Toronto
Top 5 Unique Bars in Toronto
Here’s a list the top five bars in Canada’s largest city so that you can plan your Toronto nightlife.
1. The Cameron House
The Cameron House aptly dubbed as a theatre bar, contains a rather bizarre yet unique aesthetic (check out the odd looking ant installations). As well, the Cameron House comes full with upright piano and ivy covered walls. The atmosphere alone positions the Cameron House as the place to be when you go out.
2. The Only Cafe
Centered right on the edge of the Greek enclave, The Only Cafe houses a more relaxed atmosphere with great music and a basement like look. But what makes The Only Cafe truly shine is their selection of beer – over 100 – which should cater to even the most finicky drinker.
3. Ted’s Collision
While Ted’s Collision is your typical dive bar, the history of this bar is rather fascinating. Originally a former auto body shop, Ted’s now caters to a crowd who enjoys blisteringly high rock music and have an aversion to fruity drinks. Also check out the peculiar wall mural of the CN Town under construction.
4. The Horseshoe Tavern
Not much to say that’s already been said about this place. Think Canada’s answer to CBGBs. This place is the spot to check out all the new indie bands.
5. The Rhino
Appropriately named as a gigantic rhino head is mounted on the center bar. The Rhino has your cheap food and drink covered with a large selection – we’re talking over 200 beers to chose from. The Rhino also has a patio in case you want to enjoy a warm Toronto night.

Bookmarking Demon 5 | Bookmark Demon 5 Review
Bookmarking Demon gets upgraded to version 5
Guys and gals, get prepared for the latest incarnation of the automated bookmarking tool Bookmarking Demon. The current version release by Edwin is vs. 4.2.01
Version 5 of bookmark demon will bring many new unique features. I will be updating this post as more news arrives! Sit tight folks for BMD v 5.
Get the current version of Bookmarking Demon here
The list of new features is quite exhaustive, some of which feature ability to add new platforms such as PHPdug.
Some other new facets include auto detection of said platform, without having to enter each url followed by /register.
The bookmarking software now operates totally in browser-less mode, which means you can set and forget it. Anything to do with automation is a good thing, so I was pleased when one of the features included was the ability to add in decaptcha services, to speed up submission of the said pages. You can buy credits through Edwin or just purchase them and add in the details

spending and website user experience
For ecommerce sites and other sites looking to generate revenue or partisan users based on how they use the site, user experience is paramount to success. The new popular trend towards website design revolves around what is called UCD, or user centered design. Now this implies that rather than guessing how a user should use your site, it implies that you ACTUALLY design your site around how they 'would' want to use it in the first place.
Example 1:
Mother of 2, 38 yrs old, wants to check for a nanny online.
You design the landing page with a directional link and site structure to direct her towards her goals, so this could be as simple as having steps:
Step 1: Enter location.
Step 2: Enter amount to spend
Step 3: Get results for nannys
That is a basic example of UCD.
You can find some great info on slideshare.net about UX, UCD and UI*
* User Experience, User Centered Design, and User Interface
Don't forget withouth mastering these elements, you will have little success in mastering IM**
**Internet Marketing ;)

SERP tools you should own
Some good Keyword Research tools you can try or should have in your arsenal.
List of good keyword research tools
In brief: Wordze has recently been updated with what looks to be a slicker UI. Some things to consider though when doing competitor analysis is that you can't always just look at link volume as an indicator, for example how many are no-followed? How many have are just generic links such as yoururl.com?

Wordpress autoblog software you should be interested in:
Caffeinated Content

BlogSlammer
Some of the blog farm software out there are getting more and more advanced, I haven't had any chance to review these apart from CC, which is great and doesn't cost so much. More advanced software will 100% automate domination.

What does SEO stand for?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. There are generally speaking two types of SEO: On page and off page. On page SEO relates to how well your site is structured in terms of hierarchy and categorization of your links.
In other words if your blog is about fishing tackle then the navigation should obviously reflect this in a logical fashion; however often this is misguided because what the person thinks is the right category is actually the wrong one.
SEO is a relatively small but strong industry. The reason it is an industry is because you can have a site that brings in millions of people to your site (if you are in the right niche). You don't necessarily need SEO to have traffic, but it can help sustain it.
