Recently a friend of mine asked me to list some of the best ubuntu games and I was quick to pass on the link to my article on best linux games that I wrote some time back. What I received in return was the typical ‘techy kinda reply’. Lame games is what he said (bloody linux penguin!!). Though I did grumble on him for some time yet later on I had to work hard to search for the best linux games that will actually give you the feel of extreme linux gaming. After all I am a blogger and I have to live up to everyone’s expectations. I do the hard work, compile the article and these so-called geniuses won’t even leave a comment of appreciation once they benefit from the article! Enough of the frustration, let’s us talk about the best linux games that will actually make your system feel extra happening.

Urban Terror

Urban Terror is totally free and one of the best linux game that you might ever get to see. It is based on the concept of Quake 3 (and most of the other similar rps games). The interface has been designed with the notion ‘ultra simplicity’ being kept in mind very seriously. Looks like they knew that linux should never ever have the ultimate games that we most of the time see (kidding ).

Nexuiz

Nexuiz is one more game in the list of best linux games that can give a good fight to some of the major FPS games. It is an awesome 3D game built on quake engine which is available for most of the platforms. It is famous for the huge list of weapons that it features and the great speed that it provides for its players.

Savage 2 – A Tortured Soul

So, are you WoW lover? If you don’t know what is WoW (which is World of Warcraft) then this game will be true surprise for you and if you already know WoW then you will feel relieved that those exciting features are also available in linux too. Savage 2 is truly one of the best linux game available. This game is the best possible mix of RTF and FPS which is rarely available on linux. Fight on!

Alien Arena

Alien Arena is for those gamers who love first person shooter games. The game takes use of the features available in quake 3 plus unreal tournament and boasts of its own unique features which makes the game ultra exciting. This freeware game actually beats all the possible shit out of you

Warzone 2100 Resurrection

Mankind has totally destroyed the planet and your job is to command the forces so as to rebuild what has been turned to ashes. The game has around 400 technologies to keep you busy. You ain’t gonna be bored that easily.

Go penguins go!

For webmasters who do not have the knowledge to work on the back of their websites, they always need an expert who can help them work on their websites so as to attract more readers. They need to understand that a professional looking website design can actually bring in hundreds of dedicated readers and exponential success for their websites. In this article we will talk about some of the many aspects that can change the future of your online businesses.

Color
It is obvious that soothing and well matched colors for a particular occasion is a necessity so as to look professional and not to look foolish. Who would appreciate colorful clothing during a funeral? Similarly well planned color coding for your website can give your website huge success and weird color styles can also bring it down in no time. One can take the example of Vista Style Icons that have become an important reason behind the success of Windows Vista OS. Looks do matter.

Position
Websites that want to generate revenue using various methods of advertising must remember that proper placing of ads in your website is the key reason behind considerable money generation from your website.

Technology
With the advancement in various technologies it has become very easy to maintain a website once it is built. You must understand that just by building a website you won’t start earning money. You will have to regularly work on the website in order to attract traffic and earn some money side by side. Like this website is using WordPress templates for its front-end which is compatible with wordpress at the back-end.

Icons
The use of various images must be thought before applying on your website else you might easily mess up your website. The clarity of these images and various navigational icons used on your website matters a lot. Like a real estate website must use real estate icons so that they merge easily with the site content.

Be it free linux RPG or free action games download, they seem to be targeting all. With over 16 categories listed on the homepage, you are bound to find freelinux games of your interest once you start searching their archives. I won’t be waisting a lot of your precious time. Jump to Penguspy and start searching for the free linux games that amuses you the most.

Well, WordPress has seen unexpected success in last couple of years and its owner Automatic has always been tagged as a profitable company although all its products (including the major product WordPress) are available for free download? Here I will analyze different sources of income for WordPress and will expect you to list more in the comments below if I miss any of them.

WebHosting Referrals

The WordPress.org website suggests some of the hosting options for new WordPress users and once you check the hosting page of WordPress then you will be surprised to know that all the links in their page are referral links! Their are six different hosting companies listed their and all are linked via the referral links. You can assume one referral link earning them over $100 for every single new user that registers via that link.

Premium WordPress.com Accounts

Although everybody can start their blog for free on WordPress.com yet to get access to enhanced features people need to make payments. This is an important source of income for Automatic considering the fact that WordPress.com has huge number of blogs and new users are continously registering.

Google AdSense Ads In Your WordPress.com Blogs

You might be surprised to know that the free blogs hosted on WordPress.com may at times display AdSense ads that bring money to Automatic. The 3 condition that need to be met for the ads to show are:

• The user must now be using Firefox!?! I really don’t know the reason but this somehow true!
• The user isn’t logged into his WordPress account.
• The source from which the user came to this WordPress blog wasn’t a WordPress powered blog.

With over billion page views every month for WordPress.com hosted blogs, this AdSense income might truly be huge.

Domain Registration For $15

WordPress.com offers domain registration for $15 when you plan to move from freely hosted WordPress.com to paid hosting and use WordPress.org’s free WordPress. $15 is quet a huge money to register domains considering the fact that a domain can be registered for $2 also. With so many WordPress.com users moving to paid hosting services, this could also be a major source of income for Automatic.

Premium WordPress Support

Though the free version of WordPress support is enough for solving your problems but at times your problems might not find a solution and you might need enhanced support for your WordPress blogs. This is when you can buy the premium Support Network services and get responses within six hours. Though you might have to shell out around $5000 per year for such services. Think about it if you are a high level company!

WordPress VIP Hosting

Who would not like to have their blogs hosted in the overly accurate WordPress.com servers that are responsible for running the free WordPress.com blogs 24*7! Not everybody is accepted into this service but you can always give it a shot. As of now A-List bloggers like Om Malik host their blogs using WordPress VIP Hosting. They pay $500 per month for this service.

Akismet

Akismet (Automatic Kismet) is one of the best spam protection tools that keeps your WordPress blogs free from spam. For personal blogs the Akismet service is free but in case of corporate blogs you will have to buy the Akismet Service and pay around $50 per month.

Poll Daddy

Automatic also has a paid version of Poll Daddy where you can get unlimited number of question for each survey and the Poll Daddy’s logo isn’t shown in those surveys too.

Do not try to find out the total money that Automatic earns as this isn’t a listed company in any stock exchange so they are free to keep their incomes a secret!
