BACK i REFRESH WEB BATCH I r Lifetips.com You name it and they probably have advice about it. Lifetips is a Web site with the stated mission to “offer free Living Improvements for Everyone.” That is exactly what the site does. Separated into key headings of “Arts and Entertainment,” “Business and Technology,” “Home Life and Shopping,” “Personal and Growth” and “Sports and Hobbies,” the Web site offers tips and advice on every topic imaginable. Do a search for whatever advice is needed or scroll through the list of topics to find answers to all questions. Some topics are more specialized than others, but the site is actively working to correct that. If there is a topic of which visi tors feel they are a “guru,” they can apply to work for Lifetips. The Web site is made possible through advertising, and the “guru” running a specific section of Lifetips receives a commis sion from money made through advertising. Noteworthy of the site is its clean look and easy navigation. Even though it relies heavily on advertising, it is not flashy or distracting. All advertisements relate directly to the topic on which the visitor is looking for advice and are, in some cases, quite helpful. Everyone needs help at some point. It can be as minor; make-up tip or as major as cancer.
