    I want to thank all of the affiliates who have been promoting the sale of our videos and membership site. People have been creating quite a buzz about the program and its' been advertised all over Google.com for hundreds of different key words.

    If you haven't already signed up please do so by clicking here. You get a beefy 50% commission on each sale. It only takes 3 minutes. I will be gathering promotional materials to help you push the program. And more videos are on the way.

    DJ Guide News -

    iDJOnDemand.com Forums:

    The forums at iDJOnDemand.com have been scaled back. Now the main focus will be on helping affiliate make sales. I've been busy working on another site so I couldn't devote the attention to it like I wanted. So if you did not see any marketing material in there that is why.

    DJ-Equipment-Forums.com:

    I will begin a new forum specifically for dj equipment advice and not really on tips and tutorials. I get so many emails about the same things as what to buy and where to buy I thought it would make sense to start a forum for this specific purpose. It will be coming the summer of 2006.

    New Web Site A Huge Bust!

    Back in March or April I can't recall exactly I thought I would redesign the site to for a new look and offer more navigation links to pages that were deeper in the site among some other changes. What a back lash that was.

    My visitor numbers dropped like a sack of bricks and nobody went beyond the second tier pages. I think I confused people. For a week I sat on the edge of my seat waiting for things to turn around but I couldn't take it any more and I changed the entire site back to what it was and things returned to some normalcy. Next time I'll ask for your opinion before I go live.

    BBoy BBQ - Saturday June 10, 2006:

    I was in the place last year and if you are in the PA, NJ, DE, NYC or DC area then swing through. I'll be in spot with my video camera hangin' with Fat Nice of 84 who is co-hosting this year with Stef Tataz. I'm sure dozens of video cameras will be on the spot. Since YouTube.com has surged with video content from your "average joe" you'll get all your BBoy-BBQ highlights following the event. Check out the BBoy BBQ Flyer or go to www.BBOY-BBQ.com

    International DJ Expo - Atlantic City, NJ:

    The International DJ Expo is just around the corner. Here is a quick excerpt.
    Set for August 21-24 at the Atlantic City Convention Center, the 2006 DJ Expo will present a smashing schedule of uniquely informative seminars, an exhibit hall full of the latest DJ products, a slate of exciting evening events—and the biggest giveaway in the DJ industry!

    Produced by DJ Times and Testa Communications, the DJ Expo offers everything a DJ wants and needs to become a more professional player in the industry. Be there for all the action and earn a chance to win the Ultimate DJ System, $25,000 worth of DJ gear from the top names in the business!

    Oh, that other web site I was working on:

    For those of you who were wondering what that other web site I was working on was. It's called TechnologyandEducation.org. Basically this web site explains what my day job is. Anyone working in education? You can use this as a resource for integrating technology into the classroom.

    Question:

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can get more viral traffic to my site?
    Contact me and let me know.

    DJ Equipment Reviews

    Numark PPD01 Mixer Review

    Numark PPD01 Mixer Review User Review by DJ Hydro:

    DJ Equipment Make: Numark mixer

    DJ Equipment Model: PPD01

    Pros: It looks really nice and it had a few useful fx and it has a reverse on each channel I really recommend this for house and dnb djs I do mostly hiphop and the fx are pretty much worthless if you want a hiphop mixer I would recommend and either the vestax or pioneer or rane

    Cons: Crossfader could last a little longer

    Additional Comments: For the price is worth it but if you can spend a few extra $ I recommend vestax

    Overall Rating: 4 Stars

    Pioneer CDJ 800 CD Player

    Review of the Pioneer CDJ 800 Pro CD Player by DJ Hydro

    DJ Equipment Make: Pioneer CDJ

    DJ Equipment Model: 800

    Pros: Smooth vinyl control mode the beat cutter is hot and very helpfull is almost like beat juggling but with out all the work is also very affordable only 600 doesn't skip

    Cons: Doesn't play mp3s and every once in a while the it freezes for a couple seconds when you try to bring to spin it back but is not often

    Additional Comments: is worth every cent think about you could buy the technics for 100$ less but then you'll have to carrie a load of vinyl to go with it and buy expensive needles

    Overall Rating: 5 Stars
