An experienced webmaster might have already tried it, a newbie might have just thought of it and a large number of people may have never had that idea.
Open-source, software that is used by everyone! Since a lot of php scripts such as wordpress, Joomla, Drupal and lots more are common nowadays, due to the fact they are open-source and free for use, templates and themes for them are developed everyday.
If you have used wordpress even only once, you’ve probably wanted to customize it a little and wanted a free template. Free templates and quality ones are available in hundred nowadays and after a little search you will find an appropriate that suits your needs.
After installing the template, you may probably notice that there are some links-which you are not allowed to remove- in the footer of every page. These links are known as sponsor links and are either links to the template designer’s website or peple who spent money buying that footer link.
And that’s exactly my point! have you ever thought of buying, or let’s say it better, “sponsoring” free templates and themes? You can spend 40 dollars one time fee and if it’s a professional and good theme, you’ll get hundreds of free backlinks when a lot of people use it.
Actually, you may even get good PR backlinks that way because there are lot of website of a sufficient PageRank(around 4) that use free templates for Joomla, Wordpress and others.
There are even designer that for around 70 dollars sell even the “designed by” link and you can add your URL there 
Wondering where you can find such templates/themes to sponsor? Visit the DigitalPoint forums and you’ll see lots of offers there! It certainly a worthy investment, you can try it

Well for some time now i have been experimenting with some scripts, some templates and some coding.
Finally, i have managed to set up a web proxy and a directory as well! All my effort to boost globeirc has succeeded and from now on you’ll be able to enjoy a 100% Free, fast anonymous web proxy and an innovative directory!
What do i mean with the above? Let’s take a closer look to the new GlobeIRC additions!
The Proxy
For the best satisfaction of our members and visitors globeirc.com is powered on an expensive VPS with almost unlimited bandwith and great disk space. That’s to ensure the maximum uptime and a smile of all you(the visitors) who are satisfied:)
So, since we don’t have a problem neither with resources nor with bandwith we created a web proxy!
Running on a dedicated IP, loading fast is a neat solution to unblock any websites from school/work, or visit anonymously some websites;)
Lots of options, high speed, anonymous and 100% FREE are the key to success! Feel free to enjoy our new free service at http://proxy.globeirc.com/
The directory
Well, that’s definitely something innovative! Want to know why? Read the following!
NO Sponsored listings..the website that gets the most hits will be showing first at its category, not paid ones.
That way all websites are equal and have the same chances to be promoted.
NO full-of-ads index and pages. I actually think not to add any ads at all, or if i’ll do so, i will add them only in the index and not in a trick way. Got sick of directories full of adsense codes.
NO reciprocals are necessary. If you like what i offer then add a link to Http://GlobeIRC.com from your page. But i am not going to ask for a reciprocal in order to have your website submitted in my directory.
There will exist sponsored listings. What’s that?
Websites that’ll be given priority in searches. That of course doesn’t change my policy as stated above(that all sites are equal).
Sponsored listings will not be given in echange of money.
I, personally, will make sponsored listing only websites with great content and are worth to be visited!
Exactly, you have a great informative website? You’ll get a sponsored listing 
Well, yeah, we are the type of an open directory!
It’s actually my open directory project and my goal is to have as much listing as possible. Think it’s gonna get very popular because the directory is human-edited and submission most times require less than 48 hours to be reviewed and indexed
The directory can be accessed at http://directory.globeirc.com/
So, that’s the two new additions to our beloved globeirc.com!
You are also ble to locate the links to both our directory and proxy at the blogroll any time Feel free to use our services, if you have any suggestions, want to give your feedback or just say a thanks feel free to comment here !
Take Care!
