The World VS Motorcycle Clubs

By LJ James

The New World Order and Motorcycle Clubs

What a crazy world we live in today. It's come to a point where you just don't know what to believe any more. The "news" media has gone from investigative reporting to regurgitating Government and Corporate "News Releases" as actual news.

The thing that I don't understand is, some people actually believe everything they see on TV or read in the paper or on the Internet. You can tell people the Sky is falling but if it wasn't reported on CNN, People will just think your some kind of crazy Chicken Little. Chunks of the sky could be hitting them in the head and they still wouldn't believe it.

If CNN reports that the Sky is Falling and states the reason as "human over consumption of oxygen", people start trying to figure out how to stop breathing so they can stop the Sky from falling. It doesn't matter if the real reason is some new Military Toxin.

Let's say there is some national disaster and you say something different from the official Government release on why and how it happened. Now you're some kind of crazy Conspiracy Nut. Again It doesn't matter what kind of proof you have, what kind of scientific evidence you try and present, you're just a nut and no one wants to listen to you.

Because We all know the United States Government would never lie to us. They'd never conspire against the people of this country. Anyone remember The "Gulf of Tonkin" incident? Iran/Contra? Weapons of Mass Destruction?

We're used to hearing about the Government Controlled Media in places like China and Russia, but what of the "News" media in the United States? Just a few months ago our Government was besieged with letters, email, and phone calls by people who were vehemently against the so-called Wall Street Bail-Out. At first the measure failed. CNN broadcast a week of programming designed to "educate" us stupid Americans on the reasons why we needed to pay for this bail-out. The next week it passed.

This is not the "Free Press" our founding fathers envisioned. Our founding fathers envisioned a "Free Press" that would help to keep our Politicians and our Government honest, as a way to speak out against injustices, not an "education" tool.

What has happen to the Spirit of the American people? When did we stop demanding to know the truth about what is going on? When did the Truth get too hard for us to handle? Is it fear? It seems every time someone uses the phrase "National Security", that somehow, we understand that's all we need to know.

Is it apathy? What happened to the days of protest, the intolerance of greed and corruption? Throughout History there are examples of great Societies that have fallen, not from outside forces, but from corruption within.

We live in a world of the Future where things that seemed impossible yesterday are common place by tomorrow. For some of us, we're too busy trying to make it to tomorrow to worry about what is happening politically in the World. We're too busy working and taking care of our families to seek the truth or get involved with some kind of cause.

Many still believe that eventually the Government will take care of us, that despite the loss of our industry, the loss of our jobs, the loss of our freedoms, and the lowering of our standard of living, the Governments still have our best interests at heart.

When we see Governments around the World curtailing our right of assembly, our freedom of speech, do we stand up or do we accept it? Lately, it seems that these political entities have been giving those of us in Motorcycle Clubs a little extra attention. Why is that? Most Motorcycle Clubs are made up of principled, patriotic men who value family, brotherhood and their communities above all else. Many are Veterans of Wars past and present.

Why are we viewed as Radicals & Extremists. The Governments of the world have begun pushing hard to break us up, shut us down.

As a Biker and a Member of a Motorcycle Club I see many injustices taking place all over the world. I have seen Motorcycle Clubs names and logos seized in dirty under handed methods. Large Clubs charged with Crimes and their members locked away. Government Agents inserted into clubs for years so that they can introduce drugs and violence into the clubs in an effort to bring them down. Ex Members and "friends" of Motorcycle Clubs offered Millions of Dollars if they can come up with charges against these Motorcycle Clubs!

Just as in any culture or society, there are going to be a few bad apples.The problem is the Government and the Media have conspired to paint everyone in the Biker World with the same brush. I'll bet it takes you 5 seconds to think of a News Story, Movie, or Documentary that you've seen portraying Bikers negatively, but I bet you can't think of one that shows us feeding the poor, protecting the children, or raising money for every disease known to man.

Watching Motorcycle Clubs slowly being taken down in such blatantly unjust ways is scaring the hell out of me. What makes me sad is at the same time these wolves are getting through the gate and destroying the MC world, Many Motorcycle Clubs continue to fight against each other! These fights are embellished and sensationalized on TV and in the press. They are then used by the Governments of the world as the fuel they need to continue to shut down all Motorcycle Club's.

Motorcycle Clubs, much like the United States of America, were started with incredible Ideals. Both set down on paper what they were about and what they stood for. It is time for both Motorcycle Clubs and Americans to get back to their core beliefs. I believe with all my Heart that true Members of Motorcycle Clubs hold the ideals of Freedom and Brotherhood higher than any other group anywhere.

As I have said many times before I am no Hippie and I do not preach peace or love, I am a true Biker ! It is just that I have realized "Rome is burning" and only by working together can we hope to be able to stop the fire! Motorcycle Clubs are like people and not everyone will always get along, We are always going to have our differences.

What needs to happen now is for members of every Motorcycle Club in the World to look deep inside and ask themselves, "What is the most important thing to me?" If you truly believe in Motorcycle Club Brotherhood, and you have felt true Motorcycle Club Brotherhood, the answer will be simple. We as members of Motorcycle Clubs, need to set aside our differences and unite as one so that we may work together to save the Motorcycle Club world! We must fight against those who would take away everything we are and have us live as slaves.

Next time you hear that a Government or one of its agents has brought down another Brother or a Motorcycle Club you didn't like, don't celebrate, because the next time it will be you and your club. They won't stop until we are all gone.

Is There Any Shortcut to One Way Link Building?

By Brent Sweet

Effective link building is important for the success of any online business. To achieve that success, you need to build links and get coverage for your site on the web. Whether it may be small or big website, you need to build links for it and promote your site.

Some adopt blogging and others use Digg to promote their websites. Some prefer link exchange schemes and even link farms. This is nothing but link building. It requires investing a lot of time. Everybody agree that we do all these sort of practices only to gain good search engine ranking.

May be due to stiff competition or any other reason, Link Building techniques got over used. Nobody is taking care of value or credibility in those adopted techniques. Just remember that overdoing it will not serve any purpose. The search engines just do not consider them at all. In fact some times, your website may be even penalized for such wrong approach of web site promotion.

With effective link building, you not only get good search engine rankings but also increase your web traffic. If you can make good website promotion, then you can get potential customers. So repeated use of techniques will not only lose your search engine rankings but also make it ineffective in conversion.

Always get a mix of search engine optimization techniques and be natural. Do not stick to just Digg and pollute it with your endless stories. Get a proper mix. Be natural. Be relevant. There is no shortcut to link building, but SEO Software like SEO Elite can be a good help.

eCommerce SEO Tips

By Brent Sweet

According to Nielsen net ratings, every month, about half of all search engine queries are unique. This statistic, although vague and seemingly insignificant, is actually the greatest factor behind why eCommerce Soltuions fare so well in search. We interpret the statistic like this: Half of all searches cannot be predicted, the other half can be. Great. So what does that have to do with eCommerce?

The reason why eCommerce and SEO are better for each other than Forrest was for Jenny is due to the massive amount of content contained within the average eCommerce solution and that content's ability to target both predictable and unpredictable (long-tail) search phrases. eCommerce solutions have a major advantage over any other database driven site for a number of reasons.

ad

Abundant Content: Unlike a blog, article directory or content managed site, thousands of search engine friendly pages can be literally uploed and indexed by the search engines.

Easy Unique Content: A product or category page needs a few tech specs and a brief description. As long as that content is unique to the site, a webmaster can litter the search engines with products and categories. The time it would take for a blog or content managed site to reach that same level using unique content is staggering.

Targeting the Predictable & Unpredictable: Category pages can be targeted for predictable searches like "red widgets." Product pages can capture the unpredictable ones like "red widgets with tassels"(provided they contain keyword-rich descriptions). So how can you make the most of your eCommerce solution in the search engines? As promised here is a list of 25 general tips. Most Importantly:

Pick the right solution: Get an eCommerce provider that allows you to do everything we mention in this list. And hey, what do you know? Bridgeline's eCommerce Solution lets you do all of this... Crazy how that works out, no?

Onsite eCommerce Optimization Tips

Unique title tags: The content contained within should not be repeated verbatim within the site.

Put your site name after the product or category name in the title tag: Use your site to Brand, use your search engine listing to get clicks.

Unique meta data: Take the time to make your meta data (description & keywords) unique for each page. Obviously, that can be tricky if you have 10,000 skus, so try and get your developer to populate that area with the product description.

Use H1 tags: And put your keywords in them. Go to your source. Search for '

Use more than manufacturer data: If your product pages only contain the specs and descriptions that your manufacturer provides, the search engines will lump that product page together with the hundreds of other ones out there with the same specs and descriptions, meaning it won't find its way into the search engine result pages (SERPS).

Take the time to add unique copy to your product and category pages

Link to other products and categories from that copy

Use alt tags: I know. I heard too. They're useless. Use them anyway. SEO is about a conglomeration of variables, not a single supreme one.

Have a clear category tree: Search engines like that.

Use a search engine friendly navigation: Text links are best. Don't like text and want to use images? Make sure you use alt tags. Using flash or doing postbacks? Stop that!

Create an XML based sitemap and put it in Google webmaster tools

Offsite eCommerce Optimization (Link Building) Tips

Link building is incredibly difficult for eCommerce sites because no one wants to link to your drop shipping site when they can link to the real thing or Target.com. Here is what you need to know:

Build domain authority: Domain authority is basically a measure of the number of high quality sites linking to yours. The more the better. So how do you get those?

Buy them: The quickest, easiest way to get Domain authority is to buy it at Text-Link-Ads.com. Unfortunately, it ain't cheap.

Take your nique products and promote them in the online community: Get out into the online community, target some top bloggers in or around your industry and try to get them talking about your unique product. Again, this doesn't really work for drop shippers because no one is going to link to your site when there are more reputable ones out there to link to so...

Put Something On Your site worth linking to: Compile a great list of resources, make how-to videos, develop a calculator, or other custom tool. If your products aren't unique and link-friendly, you'll need some site content that is.

Submit to directories: If you go to the forums they'll tell you to submit to hundreds or thousands of directories. Don't. Those are not high quality links, they don't transmit domain authority, and they'll only waste your time... What you need to do is find lists that bloggers or independent webmasters have made. If you must, submit to the directories, but be certain they are specific to your industry.

Submit articles: Again, the forums will tell you to submit as many articles as humanly possible. What I'm telling you is this:

o Write 3-5 quality articles on topics that people are talking about in your industry (like what I'm doing here).

o Submit the articles to a bunch of article directories.

o Link to those articles from your homepage.

o Link to your homepage from those articles

o Link Sculpt: Place a nofollow tag on any link that doesn't point back to your homepage.

o Go to relevant blogs and forums where topics pertaining to those articles are being discussed, and drop links back to them.

Link exchanges: Despite popular opinion, still work... just don't go overboard.

Deep link: Meaning, repeat 1-6 for your major categories.

Buy blog reviews: Go to sponsoredreviews.com or payperpost.com and buy some reviews from RELEVANT bloggers and point them back at your category or product pages. You'll see a boost. It won't last forever, but it will leave you in better standing than you were in to begin.

Answer questions on forums: And link back to your site in the signature

Outsource to India: There are plenty of Indians looking to make a buck on forums like Digital Point. They'll generally do everything that I just mentioned from 1-10 and they'll do it for cheap

Get Massive Back Links To Your Site (Part II)

By Hass67

In one of my earlier articles, I had talked about the importance of getting lots of back links to your site in order to rank well in the search engines. Building links is also known as Off Page Optimization.

Websites that link back to your site and the page rank of those websites are important. Linking with irrelevant websites dont count with the search engines and is a wasted effort. How do search engines decide about the relevance of the website linking back to your website?

Search engines consider the keywords used in the anchor text in linking back to your site. If your website is about money making than the anchor text: money making tips may be given more importance than the anchor text: recommended website.

Search engines also take into account the page title of the website linking to you. The website should be considered to be an authority site by a search engine like Google for the back link to get more importance.

In short, you should try to get quality back links from those websites that are related to your sites niche. Those websites should be considered as authority sites by the search engines. The anchor text used to link back to your site should contain your site niche related keyword.

So, getting lots of back links from authority sites is what counts with the search engines. How to go about getting lots of back links from authority sites?

You must have heard about social book marking sites. Social book marking sites like del.icio.us, digg, furl, propeller, stumble upon etc are very popular with Google. Most of them have a page rank of 6+.

Bookmarking your site on these social bookmark sites can get you tons of quality one way links. Many people visit these social bookmarking sites, so you can get many visitors in addition to back links as well.

Should You Buy Text Links?

By Brent Sweet

Many Webmasters buy text links because they need results as quickly as possible. Building the popularity of your website can be a time-consuming and demanding job. You start by building up your content - you buy (or create) some quality articles or information to post to your website. You make sure your web pages look professional and appealing. Then for months no one wants to link to your website and you see no growth in your site's popularity. Without links your page rank remains stagnant and you don't see your web site gaining a top spot in search engine results.

Well, now is the time to build relationships with other sites. It's time to work on link exchanges and on link popularity. The truth is that this can be even more time-consuming than building content...

Buy Text Links

Yes you can buy text links as an alternative to the other, slow growth linking strategies. The process of building links through trading and asking for one way links can be long and frustrating. That's why many webmasters try an easier way - they buy text links.

Well, not any text link of course - purchased text links should be on sites that have themes that are complimentary to yours. Google and other search engines tend to compare content when calculate a site's page rank. Placing a link to your site from so-called Link Farms usually leads to a disaster.

Link Farms specialize in linking anyone to anyone. Most search engines either ignore those links or penalize you if you have many from link farms.

If you buy carefully chosen text links from a specialized company you often can quickly increase your site's page rank, this can give your site the edge you need. Almost every company that offer text links for sale has an expert that will help you to choose the best text link to buy,

Buy Text Links Carefully

The choice isn't easy. Most web and marketing experts will say that faster popularity is better even if you have to buy it, and usually they are right. The quick boost to your site's ranking on search engines is a good thing, but remember - do not build your page rank based solely on purchased text links.

Spend time each month on conventional link build strategies and buy text links only additional support. The search engines are learning how to distinguish purchased text from natural links. If you have too many purchased links your pages could disappear one day.

Having good, honest links from content-connected sites can be the best way to build your site's traffic, even if it won't raise your page rank as quickly as purchased text links.

If you are developing a web site for long term profits start with a practical link building program like article submission. Then carefully add a few well chosen paid links. It's better to be safe than sorry.

3 Most Common Affiliate Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

By John Savage

Affiliate marketing has now become big business and as it gives everybody, big and small the opportunity to make money, so more and more people are jumping on board, and getting a piece of the action.

But there is a danger here. Because it is so easy to get started, many people just jump straight in to the action only to discover further down the line that they have made some costly errors. If you are aware of these potential problems to begin with so much the better.

The first mistake people make is to choose the wrong affiliate program.

This is easily done. You see a program which everybody is talking about and think to yourself that this must be a winner. But that is not a good criteria to base your choice and decision upon.

Instead of jumping on the bandwagon, try to choose a product in which you are truly interested in. For any endeavor to succeed, you should take some time to plan and figure out your actions.

Pick a product that appeals to you. Then do some research about that product to see if they are in demand. Promoting a product you are more passionate about is easier than promoting one for the sake of the earnings only.

The second mistake that people make is in joining too many affiliate programs.

Since affiliate programs are very easy to join, you might be tempted to join multiples of affiliate programs to try and maximize the earnings you will be getting. Besides you may think that there is nothing wrong and nothing to lose by being part of many affiliate programs.

True, that is a great way to have multiple sources of income. However, joining multiple programs and attempting to promote them all at the same time will prevent you from concentrating on each one of them.

And what will probably happen is that all the programs you promote will have mediocre results. Really, it is best to focus on one program at a time, get that one going well, and then move on to another.

And take your time over it, there really is no need to rush. Affiliate marketing is here to stay, so you can afford to take your time.

Mistake number 3: Not buying the product or using the service.

As a silly example, if you were selling ice cream and somebody asked you which ice cream you recommended, it would not look too good if you replied that you did not know as you had never tried any! The same applies with your particular product or service.

So please do make sure that you have bought the product, and tried it out yourself, before you ever think about recommending it to others.

I have listed these common mistakes in order to ensure that you do not make them yourself. Just be aware of them, and this way you can avoid them.

Time is the key. Take the time to analyze your marketing strategy and check if you are in the right track. If done properly, you will be able to maximize your affiliate marketing program and earn higher profits.

A Traffic Secret

By Hass67

Success in making money online depends on learning how to generate a lot of traffic to your site. Without a lot of traffic, you wont make any money online.

Traffic is the lifeblood of making money online. There are numerous ways to generate traffic to your site.

One way is to pay for it. If you have heavy pockets, you can always pay to get traffic. But day by day, online marketing is getting competitive. There are big players involved in it. You cant compete against them.

Paying for traffic that does not convert well is a sure recipe for failure. You will start looking for ways to get free traffic. You will think how to get a lot of targeted traffic for free? Only a page one position for your site on the search engine can give you that.

You will want to learn search engine optimization (SEO). But here again you are competing with big players with lots of experience and deep pockets.

There is an entry barrier for newbies in internet marketing. Nobody will tell you this fact that it is almost impossible to get your new site ranked high in the search engines especially on Google. Google takes the age of a site into account before giving it importance.

Google does not like a few page sites. Google like authority sites! Your website should have many many optimized pages and thousands and thousands of backlinks before Google will position it on its search pages.

Again stuck! Dont know what to do? Cant compete with big players who have years of experience doing this! How about using these same authority sites to get traffic for your site?

I give you an example to make my point clear, EzineArticles is considered to be an authority site by Google. You can submit articles on it. These articles can get targeted traffic to your site as well as quality backlinks that counts with Google.

Use these authority sites by piggy backing on them. There are many article directories, forums, blogs and social bookmarking sites that can get traffic for your site and quality backlinks.

As long as you dont learn how to generate free traffic to yours site, you wont succeed at internet marketing.

What is Local Internet Marketing

By Tyler Durden

Now you may ask yourself what is internet marketing. It is a valid question and the answer is that it is different from normal internet marketing because you are targeting a specific geographic region. If you are trying to sell desks in Tampa, Florida then you probably don't care too much about some dude over in Milan, Italy as desks cost a lot to ship. No, your ideal customer lives in northern Florida. Targeting your local region is the idea behind local internet marketing.

So now you may want to know what to do if you have businesses in a larger region. Say for instance that you have a chain of stores on the east coast. Well the idea is the same but now you are expanding your keyword list to effectively target your whole market.

Unfortunately most people are under the impression that it takes months of work and years of accumulated knowledge to rank for any keywords. Lucky for you the truth is that anyone that is familiar with the internet can totally rank for most local search terms and in many cases can rank number one in a matter of weeks for their keywords.

The truth is that the more specific the search phrase the easier it is to rank for them. If you want to rank for "Joe Smith custom super computers for scientists Madison, Wisconsin then you will have very little trouble ranking for it and may even get ranked the same day you work on it. Keyword work is hard when you are only going for broad terms like cars, phones, banks, etc.

There is no unsaid secret to targeting keywords. It just takes some time and homework to learn how to do it effectively and take your business to the next level. Thanks to the internet there are several good online blogs that can teach you about keyword research and targeting. Heck there are even a bunch on regular marketing strategies. So the next time someone calls you on the phone tell them to take a hike because you will do it on your own and likely do a better job.

Toolbar Sponsorships with Unique Placement: Avoid SEM Scams

By John Welkinson

Everyone and their brother is a Search Engine Marketing Expert nowadays. My brother in law read a book about SEO last week and all of a sudden he's telling me how to market my web site (at a substantial discount of course) and I've been studying and implementing SEO campaigns for years. Yep, so many experts are popping up everywhere trying to show me things I already know. My competition knows it too. In an environment where more and more people are studying and implementing SEO, how do you get a unique market advantage when the space is limited on the first page of Google?

If all the claims by the search engine gurus promising top placement were true, would there ever be any hope outside of them and their services? And even if we employ them, we're still going to be at the mercy of flying blind to some degree - Google isn't going to publish there ranking formula any time soon and there's only so much room at the top.

What about Pay Per Click? You can pay top dollar with PPC but, from the experience of many, its like a crap-shoot . Sometimes it works and then other times it fails to provide good ROI. All the while your credit card is getting dinged.

Here's a big PPC expense that you may already be aware of: Did you know that all one of your competitors has to do is just sit there and click away on your ad - or ever more dastardly, pay some to do it for them - and your cost will go through the roof? PPC is Pay Per Click not Pay Per Visit. You think this doesn't happen? Think again

So what's a good alternative? One emerging alternative is to use Unique Placement toolbar networks to guarantee your position and traffic at a fixed cost.

Unique Placement markets sponsorships on various toolbar networks that enable advertisers to dominate fractions of the marketplace by inserting their company below the toolbar but above the Google, Yahoo, and MSN top search results - essentially creating a visual number one position - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The sponsorships, by design, are limited to toolbar users who enjoy enhanced search features and appealing tools not available on most standard Yahoo and Google toolbars, however, these toolbars are able to provide top positions on Google, Yahoo, and MSN (as well as others) at a fraction of the higher paid sponsorships.

In one recent case study, a Realtor who was paying an average of $2.50 per click to acquire a site visitor, found a far better cost for visitors to their web site using toolbar sponsorships. By leveraging Unique Placements toolbar network, they were able to lower CPV (cost per visitor) substantially.

Leveraging toolbar networks is one way that you can get featured on Google, MSN, Yahoo and the other search engines without breaking the bank. It's a sound concept that employs the original search engine marketing concept - give away great free technology, and the advertising model is born.

What's in it for you? Why allocate some advertising and marketing dollars to toolbar sponsorships? By doing so, it allows you to not only get a guaranteed traffic and position on Google, but focus on what you do best and growing your business. You can follow up on leads instead of trying to generate them.

Don't fall victim to all the so called SEO/PPC gurus that promise the world but rather cost you a fortune. There is an easier and more affordable way. Of course, most SEO's are professionals who can help, but there are also the others who read a book last week and became an SEO expert.

Using Very Simple SEO Tricks

By Hass67

Search engine optimization (SEO) is usually portrayed as technical and complex by most internet marketing gurus. There are many very simple SEO tricks that can help you get good ranking for a blog post.

Google gets a lot of daily searches and if that keyword has around 50+ searches daily that means traffic to your blog as long as your post has the ranking. You can get a lot of traffic to your blog if you use these tricks to rank a number of blog posts.

If you have a blog, then you need at least 50 posts for these tricks to work. In the beginning, Google will not take notice. But if you are consistent in posting a least once on your blog, Google will take notice once you have more than 50 posts.

Google is in love with blogs. Blogs give Google lots of fresh content. Blog posts get indexed on Google much faster than webpages. I have seen that Google indexes my blog post within five minutes. The reason, I post at least once every day.

Choose a keyword that you want to get your blog post ranked before writing the post. It is very important that you use that keyword in the title of that post.

The first sentence of the post should contain that keyword. Use that keyword in the post a number of times. But the keyword density should not be more than 4% in the content.

Use that keyword as anchor text for a link three or four times in the post. Bold the link. Use the keyword in the URL of that post like http:// www. Yourdomain.com/keyword, you can easily do this in both wordpress and blogger.

In Blogger, you should know that once you have published the post, you cannot change the URL. Blogger chooses the first few sentences from the title to include in the URL. So you should publish the post with only the keyword in the title. Afterwards you can always change the title again if you want but it should still contain the keyword.

This is the best way to tell Google; look, this is the keyword for this particular post. These very simple tricks can help your posts get top ranking for keywords having 100,000 to 1000,000 competing webpages.

Expand your Web 2.0 Knowledge for your Christian Home Based Business

By Matt and Catherine Willis

There has been much talk recently, both in the IT world and in the media at large, about the new Web-based social collaboration tools collectively labeled 'Web 2.0. While several savvy companies have picked up on the usefulness of Web 2.0 to expand their Christian home based business opportunities, there are many that fail to see the opportunity presented to them. These new online services, where people and communities collaborate and share information, are known as Web 2.0.

I think the title is a bit overblown but there is some good stuff here relating to information literacy. I think that Wikipedia is a wonderful example of human beings working collaboratively to gather and organize information on almost any topic you can think of. The Internet has made information so readily available to share and consume, that with a little reading, almost anyone can become an expert on any topic.

Most research indicates that Internet use in the United States will rise from its current rates of approximately 85% to 90% by 2009. And because they?re the most visible target, the search engines will bear the brunt of the attack. I did a bit of research on Web 2.0 before I started my Christian home based business opportunity so that I could market it more effectively.

This is an exciting opportunity for users to help one another while benefiting from the latest in dynamic Web technology. The ability to reduce the need to click is a quantum leap forward on web sites that helps your site stay packed full of the information you want to share, without your site visitor having to scroll for eternity or click through hundreds of times to get what they want. A normal website functions by delivering pages of information, with links that allow a user to move from page to page.

Free or low-cost, simple, open source internet-based applications and services designed to enhance on-line collaboration are now available to Christian home based business opportunities. Many young people are well used to working in a 3D environment on the Internet, through social networking sites and gaming. The important things to remember are that 1) people can and do adopt new technologies when they are show that they are useful, and 2) Connect Our People?s community-building system is not dependent on previous internet use but can be easily taught to first-time users.

From that point forward, they could turn back to the search engine at different times to assist them in the purchase. The problem with search right now is knowing which of those multiple touch points the consumer is at. And finally, we could start to pull away from the pure direct response tactics that restrict the effectiveness of search.

Domestic Violence Against Men: Men Are Victims Too

By Valene Mizzelle

You may know that there are many women out there living in violent relationships. Many of them choose to stay for reasons that only make sense to them. What you may not know is that there are some men who stay in the very same types of relationships. You may think a man would be strong enough to get away and not worried about what a woman would do to them, but you would be wrong. These men live under the same fear as women in the same situation, and they may also think that they have no alternative but to stay where they are. Domestic violence against men is not as common in the media, but it happens all of the time.

We often think of the men in our lives as strong and dependable. They are the ones we rely on to care for us when we cannot take care of ourselves. There is always something nice about a man caring about you, even when you know you can face the world on your own. However, not all men are as secure about who they are, and those are the ones that fall victim to domestic violence against men. They may think they are so in love that they cannot bear to leave, or the woman has convinced a man that no one else would ever want him.

Come to think of this one... how many times have you seen a man on TV complaining about him being a victim of domestic violence? One, two, perhaps none at all. There are many reasons why we haven't seen or heard about them, here's some. Men feel deeply ashamed if anyone knew his wife was abusive towards him. Men are also ashamed for others to know that their woman have so much power over them. Or simply, because they dont want anyone to know. They are ashamed to talk about it, even when they manage to get away.

Domestically abused husbands, just like domestically abused wives, should ask for help and let themselves be heard. Domestic violence is a vicious cycle, and victims of this cycle couldn't be saved, unless the victims themselves take necessary actions to stop it. There are many great resources, organizations and people willing to help victims of domestic violence. The victim must take the first step... seek help that is.

Yeah, men can wear earrings, necklaces, and bracelets as women nowadays. Nevertheless, in the formal occasion, it is improper for a traditional gentleman wearing this jewelry to show his taste. Well, in that point, cuff link is a fantastic choice!

Cuff links came about in the seventeenth century when men wanted something more elegant for their shirts than ribbons or ties to hold together their cuffs. To achieve this they began to wear small chains that were fastened to the end of a gold or silver button and fed through the holes of the cuff to keep them together. Such materials could only be afforded by the wealth. Over time, the cuff link developed and became a more sophisticated part of a mans wardrobe, particularly for evening and formal usage.

Today, cuff link is the rising trend for modern celebritys fashion accessory. Not just any type of them either but Gucci cuff links.

Meta Tags; Are they Important?

By Andrea Morgan

As virtually all website owners know, although meta tags are not essential, most websites have a minimum of three; a title meta tag, a keyword meta tag, and a description meta tag.

The title tag, as you would guess from its name, contains the title of the website. The title can be, and often is, different than the headline at the top of the website that visitors actually see. The headline on a site might read, "Online Education", for instance, while the title meta tag contains the words, "Distance Education & Online Graduate Degrees". Actually, nearly all of the best optimized websites do have different on-page and meta tag titles.

The reason for the difference is that the website headline (also called the on-page title) is designed to summarize the content of the page for visitors. The in tag title, on the other hand, may be used to influence the way in which search engines index the site. Although many website owners choose a title for use in their meta tag without much thought, it can be critically important.

If you believe otherwise, do a search for any term you wish. Then look at the title tags of the sites ranking in the top ten. Guess what you'll find there? Right, the term for which you searched.

Google, Yahoo, and MSN seem to ignore the keyword meta tag, perhaps because of the way it has been misused in the past. However, webmasters should not ignore the keyword tag because many of the smaller search engines and numerous directories factor it into their indexing and/or ranking algorithms.

The description meta tag does not factor into search engine rankings. But, some search engines and directories use the copy in the tag to describe the site to potential visitors. As a result, the difference between gaining and losing a visitor may be what your description tag says about your site.

Too many website owners spend little or no time on meta tags. Even experienced online marketers, who should know better, minimize their importance. Don't make the same mistake.

A Fresh Approach in How to Choose the Right Web Site Type for Your Business in this Gut Wrenching, No Shoestrings Left, 2009 Economy - By An Expert!

By Marty Dickinson

Blogs are dead. Blogs can't have creative graphics. Blogs are for techie people or kids.

How did the use or importance of blogs suddenly become so limited?

More people are converting their traditional Web sites to blog format. And, you might be surprised to find how easy it is to convert. If you've never had a Web site before, then using blog software is probably your best bet. Here are 7 characteristics of any Web site you should strive for and a blog has all of them:

* YOU have to be able to make at least small content changes to your Web site pages without paying a designer and waiting days or even weeks for the changes to be made and it has to be easy or you won't do it

* A custom look to your Web site that has your branding in mind, rather than a free or purchased template used by 250 other sites out there

* Your site must play well with social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Linked-in and that integration must be automated so when you add a page your social network is notified

* Simple inclusion of video and audio whether hosted by YouTube or other 3rd party

* Shopping cart and newsletter opt-in compatibility so that you can always be building your list and promoting products or services

* Search engine optimization (SEO) of every page on your Web site so that they get listed for specific keyword phrases on Google's organic search results and other search engines

* Keep it cheap

You can still get a custom Web site assembled from the ground up by paying a designer to construct the site using Dreamweaver or coding the HTML from scratch. But, even today it's a chore for a business owner to be in control of his own content with a traditional Web site. You either have to buy editing software like Contribute or advance your skills to maintain your content with Dreamweaver or HTML coding.

You could install Joomla, Drupal and other free content management systems (CMS), but there is a significant amount of time involved with setting up either. The more elaborate your site is at the start, the more it will cost in time for you or money to pay someone to get it setup using the common CMS systems available today. And, you'd better have ongoing access to someone available who's skilled in the areas of PHP and MySQL.

Every day I get more and more convinced that Wordpress blog software is the best solution for more than 75% of all business owners, authors and speakers who want to manage their own content and have all the benefits of other CMS products. The software is free and it takes about 15 minutes to learn basic functions and you'll find yourself making long stretches of time go by before calling your Web site designer for changes (my favorite)!

The greatest part of all is that blogs have evolved to become the very heart, the power station, the home base for your online social networking efforts. Doing business on the Web today is about making friends and eventually giving referrals to and getting referrals from those friends. Everything you do online can and should begin and return to your blog.

So, use these 7 objectives as your guideline for choosing the best Web site type for your business, book, or speaking career. My hunch is that you will find the Wordpress blog to be the best fit in even more ways than mentioned here. Appreciate the freedom and power of managing your own content and you might even find yourself having some fun along the way.

How To Explain RSS In a Simple Way

By Samo Yanezic

When someone asks you to explain how RSS feeds work, how do you respond? Perhaps you fumble about, unsure, you may even try to flub it a bit to look like you understand ti completely. Maybe you just go directly to a web site that will give you the definition. Whatever the case, if you find it difficult to explain RSS feeds easily, you may not be able to explain it thoroughly.

If you are like many people out there, you are trying to get attention online and you are not going to do that unless you have an RSS feed set up. Take some time and consider what an RSS feed can do for you. Once you do, you'll find that it is an extremely simple and very basic way to get the readers that you do.

The first step that should come to mind when you want to explain RSS feeds is that you should know what they stand for. It is nothing very complicated; RSS is just short for Really Simple Syndication.

In this case, syndication refers to making your media more accessible. When you create your media and make it available through a variety of avenues, you can reach many more people. While the method of making it more accessible does not necessarily mandate a change in the media, that can occur. Think about comics in the newspaper. Comics that are published by several papers are generally thought to be syndicated. This is the same principle upon which you can publish your work.

Now that the term RSS feed has been defined, the next logical question would pertain to its relevance. Actually, RSS feeds have only gained importance over the last few years. As the internet has grown and matured, more and more people have created blogs and media sites. These sites are updated and checked on a regular basis, often daily. Many people have several sites that they manage, so webmasters are seeking ways to attract traffic to their sites, with as little pointing and clicking as possible.

Ideally, they would prefer to have the ability to visit just one site and get all the products that they need, such as news, content, articles and other media. This is the importance of explaining RSS, particularly to web marketing newbies.

When you start using an RSS feed, it means that the content that you produce is going to be going straight to someone's morning (or afternoon or evening!) reading list. Rather than needing to remember that they should click to your site or your blog to see what is up, they are simply going to find your material delivered right to their door, so to speak.

What happens next is that your feed will become meshed with their daily activities and interests. In short, you will become a part of their daily routine. Your next move is to consider just how you can capitalize on this and make the most of it.

When you are looking at getting your own RSS feed set up, you'll find that it is quite easy. For instance, are you in a place where you already post to an online blog like MySpace or Blogspot? If you do, this there is probably an automatic way to set up an RSS feed.

Take some time and make sure that you know what RSS is, and why it is important for you to take advantage of it.

Is There Really Such a Thing as Free PLR?

By James T Maxwell

As a matter of fact there are PLR articles out there for free. It's sometimes hard for some people to consider anything they are getting free to be of any value. Many are of the opinion anything worthwhile can't be free. Keep reading to find out just how wrong this statement can actually be, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of using PLR products efficiently.

Just How Can PLR Articles be Free?

Quite often with internet marketing, PLR articles are given for free as a bonus. This allows the buyer to learn more about what is being sold. It's somewhat like a product sampler.

Other ways to use free PLR could be as an incentive allowing for more traffic to their site, or to add new people to their email list. This is one of the primary reasons free PLR articles are given away in the first place.

Although the PLR articles are "free," this in no way means they are not of value to you or the seller. The free PLR attracts more traffic, thereby allowing some items to be given away.

The Benefits and Drawbacks of Free PLR

Getting the content you need without having to pay for it is the obvious benefit of using free PLR articles. They can provide a foundation for other documents you might need to write.

There are drawbacks however. It is possible that many people have already gained access to these particular PLR items. This could mean some issues with Google and possibly being penalized for using duplicate information or content. This can be avoided by following the techniques covered in the upcoming section.

How to Put Your PLR to Use

There are several ways to use free PLR. First of all, you can completely avoid duplicate content issues by not posting the free PLR anywhere public in the first place. For example, you can use it for content that's sent out to your email list.

Giving PLR information away in the form of a PDF report is fine, or using it in a bigger e-book if you like. Reading it aloud to create and audio PLR file is okay as well. By staying away from using free PLR articles for everyday websites, you can avoid many issues concerning duplicate content.

On the other hand, let's say you do want to use the content for your webpage. The best way to go about this is to have your articles rewritten so that they're unique.

When it comes to rewriting any article it's always wise to do this one paragraph at a time. When possible, use less than four words in sequence from the original content. It's important all headlines, paragraph headings and titles are different as well. With these guidelines followed, you can rest assured you have original content, and won't have any problems regarding duplicate content.

Finally, you might actually be able to find a few free PLR gems that haven't been used much. Often times you'll find these at smaller websites rather than larger PLR sites.

Boost Your Business Using Free PLR

As you can tell, there are many benefits and a few drawbacks to using free PLR. If you use it correctly, free PLR can really help out your business and save you a whole lot of time. Content creation is a very time consuming activity that most business owners would prefer to avoid completely. Using free PLR, you can.

With that, you know why PLR may be free: the benefits and drawbacks of free PLR and how to use them to your benefit. It's time to put it to use.

Google Rankings and Zen: An Accidental Success

By Larry Welkinson

Our SEO strategy blog was supposed to be our research material to be among a few colleagues in the SEO industry. We used it as a notepad where we featured key research projects for overall optimization strategy. Although we had no intention of making the blog available to outside parties, we were surprised to find that after a few short weeks, the blog was on page 2 of Google for the keyword: "SEO Statregy". In the midst of a highly competitive market for a competitive keyword, how did this blog surface in the top 15 links on Google? Being that we have many other blogs that have what we perceived to be better content, we felt this phenomenon deserved further analysis.

The fact is that this blog was never intended to be seen by anyone but my team members. The notes that we made there are research notes regarding SEO elements that relate to some current clients of ours as well as holistic concepts about Twitter, local optimization, and types of domain names that deal with the ever increasingly important "trust" factors. The notes are raw and free of any referencing elements or links that might promote another web site with the exception of a news feed that we (our group) read to learn more about SEO.

So, here is the Zen: The blog ranked high for competitive search terms without implementing techniques that are associated with website promotion such as high page rank article submissions, meta tag optimization, or changes to anchor tags/text. Why? That is the question. The answer is in the following qualities of this blog:

1. This blog had no intent to promote or reference anything. In a total of 11 posts, it has only 1 outbound link within the body of the blog. What does that mean? Every other promotional blog makes references via links so they are designed to rank well on Google almost always has a specific "acceptable ratio" of keywords to links. Thus, those blogs are easy for Google to identify as "referencing" or "promoting" blogs as opposed to blogs that are not trying to "game" the search engines, but be provide quality content. In our case, the content was for internal purposes.

2. There are no ad feeds in this blog. Once again, this blog appears as though it's not manipulating search engines to attempt to rank high. It just sits here and grows. The content has grown with no outbound linking or other promotional link references.

3. No ad feeds are found in this blog. No Adsense, banners, or other ads are feeding into the blog in question.

4. For the purpose of simply having a short and easy remember place for the blog rather than the cumbersome Blogspot domain, we bought a simple domain name. This is theory, as most predictions about search engine ranking preferences are, but we have other Blogspot blogs that are stuck in the sand box that have good content. The domain name purchase may have given this page a small vote of confidence because we made a small investment in creating a home for this lonely little blog.

5. The domain name purchased was relevant to the topic. This appears to help rank the blog well; however, with so many other domain names with the same words included in them, it can only be a minor factor.

In the end, SEO strategists are searching in the dark for Google's philosophy. The philosophy is taught to us through the ranking of the pages we watch and change. So what has this taught me a about Google's philosophy? Create sincere value without much promotion and advertising and users will like the page so the page may rank higher as a result. This is congruent with Google's mission of making the user the highest priority of their service. Create a page with the intent to promote and it is likely to be treated with a greater degree of scrutiny without the liberal application of better ranking (not Page Rank - note this is a PR 0 that has some first page placements).

Is it Zen in the Art of SEO? If you want to promote, don't promote - grasshopper. This might be the axiom to live by in our profession.

5 Steps To Creating A Winning Adwords Strategy

By Jerry A. Taylor

Managing a Google Adwords campaign can be intimidating at first, but there are several ways to launch an online marketing campaign without stress. If you've already tried (and failed) with conventional online marketing promotions and campaigns, or even offline strategies such as direct mail and print advertising, Google Adwords is a naturally great fit for your goals.

The reason that getting great results from an Adword ad is so simple is that so many people, including Internet marketing expert Perry Marshall, have already figured out the keys to success, and they aren't difficult. The knowledge you need in order to win with Adwords can be summed up in a short article like this one, so don't worry about having to wade through heavy tomes or attend expensive seminars just so that you can get started.

These five steps will give you the knowledge you need in order to create a successful Adwords campaign:

1. Use online keyword tools. There are dozens of keyword tools, trackers and software available online, but you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to find the 'right one' for your campaign. Perry Marshall recommends using keyword suggestion tools such as Wordtracker's Keyword Universe for the most robust list of keywords and related keywords that can help you get started on a campaign.

2. Watch your competition. If you're still unsure about how to approach the issue of keywords, don't underestimate the utility of simply looking to see what your competitors are bidding, and what they're willing to pay. How does one access this information, you ask? Well, on www.spyfu.com, you can do this and more. Use this information to guide your decisions in regard to what keywords and keyphrases to pursue and how much to spend.

3. Write an effective ad. Since you're working with just two key lines of text in a Google Adwords ad, the way in which you employ keywords and important phrases couldn't be more crucial. One helpful hint is that you should list the benefits of your product or service before broaching the topic of key features.

4. Don't settle for the second page. Whenever you can, you should try to lower your budget price before cutting down on your bid amount, since lowering your bids will often result in your ad being pushed back to a less desirable spot on the second page of sponsored search results.

5. Run more than one ad. In the opinion of Adwords pioneer Perry Marshall, split testing is a crucial way to ensure that your ad campaign is as successful as possible. Far better than just running a single ad and taking a wild guess as to whether or not it is performing as well as it could be is to run another similar ad concurrently with your first. The results from a similar but not identical ad simultaneously run with your first will give you more useful information about what really works.

Getting started with Google Adwords is a simple process, but you need to begin with the right approach to get results immediately. Start things off with these five steps so you can start getting clicks and driving traffic to your blog, website or sales page with ease.

Internet Options For Tulsa Small Business Owners

By Donald Lawson

Times are tough all over. Especially if you're a Small Business owner. In my local area of Tulsa Oklahoma, it's even more so for many small companies due to the layoffs in many corporations in the region. Now that oil is going back down, some experts say the Oil and Gas Industry could be the next sector hard hit.

Advertising media such as television, cable and radio spots are outside the budget of many small business owners. This may be a blessing in disguise as many of these advertising media outlets have poor return on investment. But where can a Small Business Owner in Tulsa turn for quality advertising that pays good returns?

Some small business owners will turn to print media such as Newspapers or Phone Books. In the last several years, both of these advertising media outlets have had whopping price increases for their ads while readership has fallen way off. This means there are fewer and fewer people seeing your ads in these places and you're paying more for those fewer readers.
