Dig The Lowest Prices

The advancement in Internet technologies has led to the explosion of ecommerce sites which resulted in online shopping becoming increasingly popular. More and more people are shopping online everyday to purchase everything from books to concert tickets and airline tickets.

The Internet avail us consumers with vast information to compare products and prices easily, help us source hard to find items, and enable us to shop anytime at our convenience in the comfort of our home.

Most people shopping online go from store to store to find the products they want at the right price. With thousands of online stores to choose from, this process is tedious and time consuming.

Digxa.com provides a fundamentally better way for consumers to shop. Digxa.com service allows consumers to search for products they want across several stores at the same time. With a diverse range of product categories from womens clothing to home furnishings to even cars and sailing accessories, you can easily shop and compare prices all under one roof.

For example, when I click on the Computer tab, I was presented with many sub-categories, which can be further narrowed down to the brand and configurations of my choice. From there, I can compare the price of the product I’m targeting over different stores provided from the search listings. At the end of the day, I save time and money finding good deals with Digxa.

Assassinate The SPAM!

Have you ever sent unsolicited email to someone but got no response from them? It could very likely had ended up in the spam folder and got trash by the receiving party unknowingly.

If your e-mail service provider does not provide a spam checker, you can head over to The Programmers Heaven SPAM analysis tool which will runs your message through SPAM checkers - Spam Assassin and Spam Bayes - to see if they might detect it as SPAM.

SpamAssassin tests emails against a large set of rules, which include checking for malformed headers, words that commonly appear in SPAM, whether the sender is on a black list and more. Each rule is assigned a score and if the email scores enough points it is considered to be SPAM. For more information, see the SpamAssassin homepage and FAQ.

SpamBayes works by looking at the each word that appears in the email and looking for an associated word score. The word score is a number associated with each word in the SPAMBayes database and ranges between 0 and 1. A score of or close to 0 implies that the email the word appears in is likely to be HAM(good, non-spam email), while a higher score, closer to 1, implies that the email the word appears in is likely to be SPAM. By looking at the scores of words in the email overall, the email can be classified as SPAM or HAM. For more information, see the SpamBayes homepage and FAQ.

To test your email, simply copy and paste the text or HTML of the message you want to send into the text box provided, enter your own email address and also the Subject title. Next Select which SPAM filters you would like to test your email against by checking on the box next to the filter name. You can select one or both.

Then click on the “Test My Email” button and you are on your way to knowing whether you have on hand an email with lots of evil spammy words which will very likely end up in the Spam mailbox, or yours is a legit friendly message from the boy/girl next door!

If you are planning to do email marketing to promote your blog and worried all your effort might be wasted by being block by spam filter, then you should seriously consider making this free web base spam checker your #1 webtool.
