How can you become a better writer

I have been writing professionally for more than two decades and teaching writing nearly that long. Every conference, every writing staff, and every class has always included some writer who asks: "How Can I Become A Better Writer?" They don't usually like my answer. "Practice writing every day and read to study the writing of others every day." They don't like the answer for one of two reasons usually. Some people are looking for some quick fix, magic formula that will make them a good writer in three easy steps. Although my suggestion involves only two steps it is pretty obvious that it is a long-term project. The other group of people will sneer at the first because they consider themselves "real writers" but they don't like the answer any more than the others. They believe they have a gift that simply needs to be unlocked by the magic key that published, successful writers possess. The simple truth is that there is no way to improve your writing other than to continually practice your craft. Write every day. Experiment, plan, revise, and revisit. Make challenges, deadlines, and competitions. Push yourself and your writing will reward you. I promise. Write something inspired by a writer you admire and then write something completely your own. However it is not enough to simply write in a vacuum -- or an ivory tower. You must also read the writing of others. Read far and wide. Read fiction, nonfiction, poetry and song lyrics. Read argument and persuasion, read informative and biographical, read science and fantasy. Read talented and skilled professionals and read those who are still finding their writing feet. You are reading to gain inspiration and confidence. You are reading to build your vocabulary and your stockpile of writing tricks. You are reading to learn more about the rhythms and patterns of language. You are reading so that as you write you will be able to develop your own unique voice. Learning to be a better writer is not the work of a weekend or even a semester. Learning to be a better writer is a life's work. If you really are a writer then you will never consider your work done. I don't know a professional writer who sits back and says "I'm done learning now, I'm as good as I'm going to get". Certainly it need not take a lifetime to reach professional status but you shouldn't make that your goal. Thinking in those terms can hold you back from becoming the best writer you can be. For example, perhaps the reason your particular project was rejected had nothing at all to do with your writing but was in fact due to your topic, the particular needs of that publisher, or even the mood of the editor when your submission came across their desk. The truth is that you cannot control when you become a published, professional writer, but you can control your progress toward improving your writing. Believe me, the stronger your writing becomes then the easier it will be to achieve that other goal. When you reach the point that you regularly deliver quality writing then you will find a market. If you write it, the rest will come.

Learn about article submission to make money

In today’s internet age an important aspect of any online business is having your website optimized for search engine rankings. There are many different aspects of building a website that helps them being found and ranked by the different engines and while each one is different, there are a few common traits that all search engines look for. In the past, some companies attempted to trick the search engine spiders into believing they were offering legitimate information but it did not take long for the spiders to become wise to tricks being used. When people typed in key words into a search box, they expected to find information relevant to those words. What they were finding were web pages loaded with information on several terms, totally unrelated to the search criteria. This was due, in part, because some sites held nothing but a series of keywords and when accessed automatically redirected the searcher to another page. Today spiders look for text content that is on target to the information being sought. Many freelance writers have found a niche market in writing articles pertaining to web site information the can submit to web builders for inclusion on their web pages. This information is interpreted by the search engine spiders as valid text and improves the site’s ranking on the engines. Many people are finding out about article submission and are accumulating original articles on a variety of subjects for potential sale to web builders. Typically, they can sell quality text at between two and three dollars for articles ranging from 250 to 500 words. Key words or phrases appear within the contest of the informative articles between one and three percent of the word total, which helps raise the page’s awareness level to the spiders doing the searching. Most writers will do this type of work on a part-time basis, knowing at the rate of pay offered for their article submissions will not make them rich, but it can keep their writing skills sharp and their typing skills honed.

Pros and cons of plastic cards

Living without credit cards today is a very brave thing to do. You need them for everything from checking into a hotel room to shopping on line and everything inbetween. With the cards comes the temptation, and with the temptation comes high interest rates and charges that add up so fast. Fortunately there are alternatives: the debit card and the bopo card. They both use your own cash, but in different ways. Debit cards: This is the plastic card without the interest. The upside to this is "No debt" You get to shop like a diva, flashing the plastic and carrying nothing but glossy store bags. Buying online without having to print out that "pay me later" form and all you are paying is the actual price not the 14,15 ot 17 percent extra it will cost you by the time you add on the interest charges. This means you are living within your means - there is no overspending when it's coming straight out of your account. The bonus is you think twice or thrice about those impulse purchases...they don't seem as vital when you're actually paying for them! Try it I did, it's the strangest feeling when you know it's your own money paying for it. A big wake up experience. Now for the downside: Well, its simple you need to have enough cash in your account to cover your purchases. This is both an upside and a downside. It curbs your spending sprees, and it stops you spending! The money you save on interest charges can be popped into savings or spent on something else. Bopo cards: Bopo is a prepaid Visa card. Put simply, you load it up with cash and then off you go. With a traditional credit card your balance goes up as you shop - on this one, the balance goes down! Another bonus is there are no annual or monthly fees. The upside: You get a fully fledged Visa card with all the conveniences and wide acceptance that goes with that - without a credit limit. Because it's prepaid, the bopo dosen't need to be attached to a bank account, you add cash via the website or at designated 'top up' locations. You keep track of your cash by putting what you can afford to spend on the card and keeping the rent money separate. The bopo can store $1000 at a time or add $2000 over a 30-day period. A 100-point identification check will get you a storage limit of $25,000 - all you need is the cash to fill it. The downside: Again, it's that you need to have the money to spend it. If you are planning a holiday, it's terrific and a safe way to carry money overseas. You get access to the Visa network of ATMs and outlets. No more worring about traveller's cheques and foreign exchanges - and if your card is stolen the thieves don't gain access to your entire bank account as they would with a debit card. If you link your card to other family memembers they can even transfer money to you via SMS or the bopo website in case of emergency. You must think I'm a genius! No - I Love the sound of all this - just have to find the cash money first! This is one way to really curb your spending once and for all. I got straight on to it and as I said earlier in the piece, it's the weirdest feeling spending my own money - wish I had of done this years ago - only they didn't have these facilities. Now they have I hope to stay out of debt and stop paying all those expensive charges. I was a shopoholic - now I think twice! I found all this info on my favourite ebook superstore cbdeluxe - you can too. Goodluck!

You and your fico score

Your ability to qualify for any kind of financing - from credit cards to auto loans to mortgages, depends greatly on credit scoring. Most creditors will draw your credit report to look at your FICO score. The FICO score will be used to evaluate your qualification for a particular credit line or loan program and to calculate the applicable interest rate. Depending on their specific institutional needs, some lenders may use the highest FICO score or the middle score, or only one FICO credit score if the credit transaction is for a consumer purchase. For instance, if you were to apply for a house credit card at a department store, they would run your credit profile (with your permission, of course) to obtain a FICO score. On the assumption that the store reports to only one of the three credit bureaus – as most department stores tend to do -, then the inquiry will go only to that bureau. The store would make its decision based on only one bureau’s information, and by using only the one FICO score. The system works differently for mortgage credit. Banks report to all three credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and Trans Union), so they would get three different FICO scores, calculated on three credit reports that the credit bureaus sent for scoring by FICO. Since there are three FICO scores, banks generally will use the middle or average FICO score. Depending on the type of financing you are seeking, whether it is for a new car, appliances, a credit card, or a home mortgage, your FICO score makes up a significant portion of the decision-making process. The FICO score will determine the premium rates you pay for insurance and the interest rate available to you on a loan. Your FICO score is usually a composite of the following: 35% of your FICO score is payment history, and the key items include frequency, severity, and most recent occurrences of non-payment — which means that all late or missed payments will hurt your FICO credit score, but missed payments of more recent dates will have bigger effect; 30% of the FICO score is credit utilization, and estimates the balance of credit accounts in relation to the maximum credit available, with revolving credit lines (usually, credit card accounts) being the most significant; 15% of FICO scores cover credit history, the number of years credit has been established (the longer, the better; and one trade credit line for 5 years will affect the FICO credit score better than 2 trade lines for 6 months); 10% of the FICO score involves type of credit, which will monitor the mix of revolving credit inquiries, but will not include inquiries with no finance rating (as an inquiry from your employer, for instance). As mentioned earlier, there are three FICO scores developed by the Fair Isaac Company – one each from the three major credit bureaus. Experian has the Experian/Fair Isaac Risk Model; Equifax has Beacon; and, Trans Union has Empirica. Consumers are likely to have a different rating with each agency, because although they all use the FICO model, each credit reporting bureau has its own set of reporting companies and there may be variations in the credit information that they send for calculation of FICO score. There are other types of FICO scores: • Application Risk Score – In this set-up, the lender uses a scoring system that includes a FICO score but also considers information extracted directly from your credit application. • Customer Risk Score – Also called “behavior scores”; here, a lender may use the scores to make credit decisions on its current customers; this score uses the FICO score and also information on your payment history with that lender. The range on your FICO score is from 300 to above 850 and would suggest a credit profile as follows: FICO score 720 and above: This is a very good FICO score, and it suggests that the risk of default on your credit is very low. If the lender should find any exceptions in your credit report, these will easily be waived and set aside; and if there are any weaknesses in underwriting your credit, your high FICO credit score favorably compensates for that weakness. FICO score 660 to 719: This is also a good FICO score, and suggests that your risk of default is low. This FICO credit score indicates that your credit history is acceptable. FICO score 620 to 659: This FICO credit score represents a degree of risk. You can qualify for 100% financing, but certain conditions may be included in the credit agreement. The credit underwriter will more than likely consider you, but will investigate further to check whether you are: recently self-employed; have high loan to value ratios; have low cash reserves; exceeding normal debt to income ratios; staying in multiple dwelling unit properties. FICO Scores below 630: Anything below 630 is a really bad FICO score. Your risk of default is very high, and you will need to present strong compensating factors to minimize credit risk before the underwriter would consider approving a loan. Some lenders may be willing to arrange 100% financing. FICO score between 619 to 585: The underwriter can consider approving a loan but that depends on the credit issues, and may also consider an applicant with no previous delinquency and lack sufficient credit. Lenders are more likely to see mortgage delinquencies if they loan money to a consumer with a FICO score below 620. FICO score between 584 to 500: You will have to explain your credit history in writing, and will need to pay off some of your debts and other payables; the underwriter may still consider you acceptable but the high risk factors should not be layered. FICO score below 500: There may some serious issues outside your control that caused the setbacks. There are individuals who do not care so much about what happens to their credit. Perhaps this is what we should call Bad Credit. This does not mean the world has ended, though, and there is still hope. The moment your credit report changes, your FICO scores will change as well. Your FICO credit score does not change from one month to the next at random, unless there has been a late recorded payment or an adverse report. While a late payment, collection or bankruptcy can be very damaging and will immediately lower your FICO scores, it takes time before you can raise your FICO scores. It is good to get in the habit of checking your credit profile every 3 to 6 months. Your credit report must contain at least one trade line over a six-month period in order for a FICO score to be generated, and must have one trade line that has been updated in the last six months also. This will insure that there is enough information — and enough recent information — to calculate a FICO score. Your FICO credit score is meant to be a measure of your creditworthiness as a borrower. In the mortgage industry, mortgage products change constantly, so if you manage your credit well you will almost certainly qualify for an advantageous home refinancing - or home purchase program. In the case of revolving credit lines, your account is reviewed periodically, and if you manage it well, you will likely be given more perks and privileges.

Self storage in london

: Before we look at the facilities for self storage in London, let us be clear about the nature and advantages of self storage. With more and more things to store, and ever-increasing cost of accommodation, both people and businesses are looking for independent storage solutions. They have two main options - entrusting the things to store with a storage company or hiring self-storage facility. Both solutions make available specialist storage facilities and safe storage. They also offer the convenience of keeping clutter out of your living or business space. The storage can be for a short period or for long periods. What are the differences between these two solutions? Storage Company Control When you entrust our goods with a storage company, it would be the company that would decide where to store these and how to control access. They might move it around to suit their own convenience. Access to the stored goods will be restricted by requiring prior appointments, and might even be charged for. Traditionally, storage companies also required longer-term contracts, and charged high. You also could not move things in or out of storage as you needed and had to ask the company to arrange for these. The Self Storage Solution Under the self-storage solution, you would have complete control over storage and access (subject to the facility opening and closing times). You can move things in and out and store them in your own way (by storing the frequently accessed articles in a more accessible manner, for example). In effect, you are hiring storage space, not just storage convenience. This storage space can be a small closet to store some valuables and papers, or large space to store the entire contents of your house, say, when the house is being remodeled. Storage periods are also more flexible. You can hire self-storage for a very short period or for years. You might be able to get a full refund for unused periods if you terminate the storage arrangement. Self storage, however, puts the responsibility for packing, moving, loading and unloading the goods on you. Some companies might offer these services, but at extra charges. Many self-storage businesses offer trucking services, for example. Self storage arrangements have an additional layer of security over and above the normal security provided by facility owners for the facility as a whole. The space you hire will be an enclosed place to which only you will have access. Typically, you can use your own lock and key to this area. Self Storage in London There are many self-storage facilities in London. We look at one particular facility Bullman's Self Storage to get an idea of the facilities typically available. They offer private storage units of 10'x8', 20'x8' and 40'x8' in a facility with 24 hour manned security and CCTV. The units are located at ground level and you can just roll up your trolley with your goods into the unit you hire. You can use the facility for domestic or commercial purposes. The company offers removal, collection and distribution services, and even shipping services. They can also fit your unit with shelving or lights if required. The location of the facility is excellent from a logistical point of view. Special rates are available for long-term storage. This self storage facility in London is indeed a highly secure and convenient one offering you full control.

Making money in real estate 10 basic ways

Making money in real estate is an endless topic that includes all the various types of real estate investments. There is land, apartment buildings, homes, commercial buildings and more. Whatever the type however, you'll make your profits in some of the basic ways listed below. Use this list to get yourself thinking of the possibilities. 1. Appreciation. Making money in real estate can be as simple as holding on and waiting. To really get the most appreciation in value, however, you should buy in an area where demand is growing faster than the supply. 2. Depreciation. Remember that after all the tax law changes, you still get to declare a loss for depreciation that doesn't really exist. That can save you a lot at tax time, meaning more after-tax profit. To maximize this, buy property that has its value primarily in the buildings, because you can't depreciate the value of land. 3. Loan pay-down. You gain equity with every payment you make. Get the lowest interest rate you can and more of each payment will go towards the principal. 4. Cash flow. When you buy income property the right way, you not only have your tenants paying all the costs and paying down the mortgage loan, but you also have positive cash flow. 5. Buy low. When you buy below market you get instant equity that will be converted into a profit when you sell. Offer a reason for the seller to sell low: fast closing, cash, assume some debts or liabilities, etc. Or just make a low offer. The seller may have his own reasons to sell it cheap. 6. Sell high. Clean it up nice, make it easy to buy, and find the right buyer to get top dollar. The next four on the list cover ways to create value, so you'll get more when you sell. 7. Offer financing. You can often get substantially more for a property if you offer financing. This is especially true if you let someone buy it with little money down. You can also get good interest on the loan. 8. Change use. If there is a higher use for the property, you can convert it to make it worth more to the next owner. Sometimes this means making condos into apartments, or apartments into condos. Maybe converting a home into office space will get the biggest return. 9. Improve and repair. Repairing anything that needs it is obvious, but you need to look creatively and carefully to find improvements to make. Concentrate only on those that will raise the value several times more than what they cost you. 10. Sell in parts. In real estate, the parts are often worth more than the whole. For example, splitting off an extra lot to sell for $30,000 will rarely decrease the value of a home by that much, so you'll make more money in the end. Making money in real estate can be a wonderfully creative process. Just look at the sources of profits listed here, and think of how you can use a few of them on your next real estate investment.

Common procedures in acid reflux surgery

Although acid reflux can be controlled through the means of medical treatments and appropriate diet, some people who suffer from severe forms of the condition may require acid reflux surgery. Acid reflux has a recidivating character and surgery is the best means of fully overcoming the condition. There are several medical procedures in acid reflux surgery and the most effective ones are Laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery, also known as Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication and Intraluminal Endoscopic surgery. These surgical procedures are both considered to be safe and patients usually recover quickly after the operation. Acid reflux (gastro-esophageal reflux disease) is a physiological condition that usually occurs due to inappropriate activity of the lower esophageal sphincter (muscular valve that connects the esophagus to the stomach), allowing the content of the stomach to reflux into the esophagus and throat. In normal conditions, the esophageal lower sphincter should be able to prevent the regurgitation of the stomach acids into the esophagus. The sphincter normally acts like a barrier between the stomach and the esophagus, sealing the walls of the esophagus in order to protect the organ from the digestive fluids produced by the stomach. However, due to abnormal pressure at the lower end of esophagus, weakness of the esophageal lower sphincter, abnormal positioning of the esophagus inside the body or inconstant muscular contractions of the sphincter, the digestive fluids produced by the stomach are allowed to enter into the esophagus and the throat. Acid reflux surgery can correct the actual causes of the condition, normalizing the activity of the lower esophageal sphincter and therefore preventing the access of gastric acids to the superior levels of the esophagus. Acid reflux surgery involves simple medical procedures and it provides permanent results for people who are constantly affected by the condition. Acid reflux surgery is recommended for people with chronic forms of acid reflux, but it is also suitable for other patients with less serious forms of the condition. The most common form of acid reflux surgery is fundoplication. This form of acid reflux surgery involves tightening the walls of the esophagus in the region adjacent to the stomach, thus increasing the pressure near the lower esophageal sphincter. By increasing the pressure at the union point between the esophagus and stomach, acid reflux surgery prevents the content of the stomach from being regurgitated upwards, inside the esophagus and the throat. One other method used in acid reflux surgery involves tightening the esophageal valve. By doing so, the valve will be able to efficiently seal the esophagus, preventing the reflux of gastric acid inside it. Intraluminal endoscopic acid reflux surgery basically involves the same medical procedures, but performed through the means of an endoscope. This form of acid reflux surgery is very quick and its risks are minimal. The majority of patients recover rapidly after this form of acid reflux surgery and they usually don’t require post-operatory treatment. Thanks to medical advance and the multitude of modern treatments available these days, acid reflux surgery can be performed in a quick, safe and effective way.

Starting a beauty salon business

There are some business opportunities that will almost always make money for a shrewd operator and on of these businesses based on my personal experience is a well run beauty salon. This business lives or dies by the quality of people who work in the salon and the national chains have very little advantage over somebody who wants to start a salon by themselves. The reason for this is that the cost of the actual products used in the beauty treatments is minimal and therefore they do not benefit greatly from their buying power. The main cost of running a beauty salon includes rent, rates and labour and therefore you can compete with the big boys on an equal footing. Recently I have been writing blogs and articles about the types of businesses to avoid! This is not one of them. There are many different types of course one can attend to learn about the beauty trade and some are very good. Without learning some new skills and educating yourself prior to opening you might as well not bother. It probably is a good idea to work in a busy salon first so that you learn the ropes before starting your own. Most people starting for the first time will not have any established clients and will therefore be relying purely on passing trade. This is why it is absolutely essential to get a location that has a lot of foot-trade and decent parking nearby. Kitting out the salon properly from day one will make the difference between success and failure. People do not mind spending a little extra if they feel that they are being pampered in a nice, luxurious & comfortable environment. In my opinion many women go to a beauty salon for a treat or some relaxation as much as the actual beauty treatment. The layout of the store should allow everybody to move around easily and each chair should have all the supplies within easy reach thereby minimising time wasted looking for essential products or equipment. Having proper equipment allocated to each chair is essential. A busy salon will need a diary system for booking in clients and somewhere handy for them to sit whilst waiting for their treatment. The waiting area also has to well fitted out and stocked with the latest fashion and women's magazines. There are many small bookkeeping packages that can make life easier but I would always advice somebody starting in business for the first time to outsource this completely to a competent book keeper leaving you completely free to focus on growing your business. Marketing a beauty salon if you have chosen the right location is very simple. You can distribute leaflets offering half price treatments to your local area. Speak to shops around you and offer the owner a free treatment in return for them allowing you to stick a poster in their window. Build loyalty and get your customers to come back by offering them money of vouchers at the end of the treatment. Make sure that these do not offer a discount on their regular treatment but rather persuade them to try something else next time they visit. Stay away from news papers or radio unless you have a big budget and are willing to repeat the advert at least a dozen times. Research has shown that people need to view / listen to your adverts a number of times before it actually sinks in and most of your budget will be wasted on people that not in your catchment area. Obviously this is a huge topic and I can not cover all treatments and the legal aspects involved so getting professional advice is necessary prior to opening. Many books have been written about the subject and there is a wealth of free advice on the internet. Pamper your clients, make them feel special and they will keep coming back.

It s casual fun online games for families

Whether it's a quick game of Bejeweled while waiting on hold or a game ("Please, just one more!") of Zuma before bed, Americans of all ages are enjoying the fun of casual games on their computers. And these addictive pastimes are gaining in popularity-even as sales of boxed PC games have declined. Casual games are becoming so popular, some of the Web's top sites are offering a downloadable or online casual games page. One of the newest online destinations for the casual gamer is Disney's Game Cafй, Disney Online's downloadable games collection and Web site featuring activities for a "grown-up" audience-as well as Disney-themed games for younger folks. All of the games are available via free trials, so gamers can try before they buy. And when it comes time to pay, the fee-usually under $20-is generally just a fraction of the cost of a store-bought game. The site offers games that appeal to adults who can easily download and play offline with friends and family. With plans to add more games in the future, a sampling of the current lineup includes the following Disney-themed games, as well as popular titles from leading online developers and publishers: • Disney's Trivia Time: A fast-paced, challenging trivia game where players test their knowledge of all things Disney with questions such as "What is the name of Goofy's son?" (Answer: Max); • Cubis 2 Gold and Word Mojo Gold from FreshGames; • Diner Dash and Subway Scramble from PlayFirst; and • Bejeweled 2, Chuzzle, Zuma, Bookworm, Rocket Mania, Insaniquarium, AstroPop, Typer Shark, Dynomite, Pixelus and Big Money from PopCap Games. • On the Disney Game Downloads portion of the site there is also a selection of games for kids such as Disney Princess Castle Party and Pirates Pinball.

Financial planning and becoming debt free

The cash crunch raises its ugly head in all our lives. Any individual who has been working and earning his monthly income will have faced debts at some point of time in his life. This is because there are so many expenses that we don't anticipate that crop up out of the blue and throw us off balance. All that we might have planned out now has to be changed. As a result, we have to keep making more changes to the same. Many of us have to resort to the age-old method of securing loans so that we can get through the financial crunch. Sometimes meeting loan installments becomes very difficult. Thus, many of us find that we are ill-equipped to handle these debt burdens. At such times, it is a good idea to consult a professional in the field. One can go in for some debt consolidation plan as well. Debt consolidation basically involves compiling all debts into one single payment plan. This helps one to plan out one's finances in order to be able to settle the debts at a fast pace. What this does is that it makes the person answerable to only one creditor while also lowering the monthly payments that the borrower has been trying to meet. Once the person in debt has decided to go in for debt consolidation, he will be required to divulge all his finance related data to the advisor so that together they can sort out the mess and discover a way out of one's money woes. This also gives one's creditors the hope that one is making a sincere attempt to clear the loan. As a result, the creditors also stop pushing further and give the borrower some breathing space. Debt consolidation can be carried out at any level to deal with any amount of debt. However, one must follow the strategy that the financial advisor has mapped out. Deviating unnecessarily may once again place one in the debt trap from which one was trying to escape The one downfall of having debts is that you fall into the category of people with bad debts. Hence, this will adversely affect your credit scores. However, if you are able to meet all the payments and successfully manage your finances, you will be able to get back on your feet and rebuild your credit ranking. Being in debt causes stress to most people, but with a sensible financial plan, anyone will be able to find a way out of financial troubles. If one has a financial plan in place, panic will not set in. In many cases, debt consolidation loans take the form of secured loans where a house or property is given as collateral. Thus, the borrower needs to make sure that his asset is safe. He can guarantee this by making payments regularly without defaulting. If the borrower is not able to make the payments, then it would be smart to talk to the lender directly to come to a conclusion on how to close the loan and clear the existing debts. Anyone can become debt-free if he only does some financial planning.

The myth of search engine optimization

There are only 10 spots in the top 10 spots. This might seem like a repetitive statement, but it is making a point. For companies to be selling the availability of 10 spots to thousands of companies makes for a mathematical anomaly that all the keyword buying in the world won't be able to solve. The danger of all this madness is that, like with the original internet boom, the SEO (search engine optimization) boom will go bust as more and more companies get tired of spending money for results that somehow always seem to get replaced by excuses. There are ways to naturally secure a reasonable position on search engines. They include: Embed Keywords in Your Content - the placement of keywords (words you want your website to be categorized as and words you want the search engines to pick up on) in your page title and throughout your content will allow the search engine spiders to identify your site as you wish to be identified and place your site as part of searches for the words you select. The placement of the most critical keywords in the title tag will result in a higher search placement because the search engines place the title as the clickable link on the search engine results page. Once upon a time meta tags and meta keywords were used by search engines to evaluate content and search relevancy. This is not done anymore, partly because spammers abused it, and partly because the search engines could not figure out a way to monetize it (as they have with keyword purchases). The use of meta tags and keywords within your content is still helpful though in that they are often what is used in the description of your company on the search engine results page. By the way, make sure that while you are creating content that will be noticed by the search engines you don't wind up creating content that is either incomprehensible or irrelevant to your readers. It makes no sense putting all this effort into getting people to visit your site if they can't understand a word of what you've written once they get there. Have a Proper Architecture - search engines cannot index pages that are more than two clicks away from your homepage, which is about the same distance the average web user is willing to travel to get at your information. It is therefore necessary to make certain that the structure of your website is constructed to maximize both search engine indexing and userability. In this case the two converge, so it is an easy condition to agree to execute. Generate Link Relationships - to some extent, search engines rank according to some estimation of your site's popularity. One of the parameters they use is how many other sites are linked to yours. So you need to develop affiliate and other relationships that link their website to yours. This too is consistent with general good web marketing, and therefore should not arouse too much resistance. Search engine placement cannot come at the expense of your traditional and online marketing programs. It could, perhaps, be a component of your integrated plan, but you need to make certain it does not take over your other activities. The lure of the search engine - this idea that leads are generated by the lead itself - is very seductive, and the reason why so many companies have forsaken much of their other marketing activity for the full time management of their keyword purchasing and search engine optimization activities. There have always been preferred places to advertise and there have always been preferred ways to generate leads - and often the only companies able to avail themselves of these top-tier opportunities were those with the financial resources to do so. Just as Time magazine has but one back cover to sell, Google has but 10 top spots for the keywords you want. If you have the means to purchase your place on that page, and you deem it to be a productive use of your marketing dollars, then you should do it. However, if you do not have the resources, and you are nonetheless spending money because some web marketing firm is promising you better placement, you are most likely throwing your good money away. Even with the pay-per-click model, which serves to reduce some of your risk, you are still paying for keyword purchase services and most likely other related services. Without spending real money you are either getting sub-par keywords or you are being placed well after the first three pages - and very few people bother searching after the third search engine results page. If you don't believe us, google it. You'll see.

What to consider when making a youtube video

What to Consider When Making a YouTube Video YouTube is a popular online website, which allows internet users, just like you, to share videos or watch an unlimited number of them. While a good portion of the individuals who post videos on YouTube are just posting videos that they have laying around, there are many more who actually make videos with the sole purpose of uploading them to YouTube and sharing them with other internet users. If you are one of those individuals, there are a number of points that you will want to keep in mind. When it comes to making a YouTube video, one of the things that you will need is a video recording device. Popular video recording devices include camcorder, webcams, as well as cell phones with video recording capabilities. If at all possible, you will want to try and use a webcam or a camcorder, as these video recording devices often produce the best quality. If you are looking to make your YouTube video be a hit, quality is something that you will want to take into consideration. Many YouTube video viewers dislike watching poor quality videos; in fact, not everyone sticks around to finish watching them. Editing is also something that you will want to take into consideration. YouTube actually encourages you to examine your video before uploading it to their site. If you notice anything that you would like changed, you are advised to edit your video before uploading it to YouTube. Of course, you don’t have to edit your video if you don’t want to, but editing your video is also likely to improve the overall quality of your YouTube video. It is also relatively easy to do. Most computers come with movie editing software programs already installed. It may even be a good idea to play around with a movie editing software program and your YouTube video; you may be surprised just how fun it can be. It is also important that you think about and examine the content of your video, especially if you are planning on doing a comedy videoedy videos are popular on YouTube, but you need to remember that a large number of people visit YouTube for entertainment. Many of those individuals are from different races, sexes, and religions. You will want to be cautious of offending any of your viewers, intentionally or not. Keep in mind that comedy means different things to different individuals. Of course, you have the right to make just about any type of YouTube video you want; you are advised to use your best judgment. Should you be good at making YouTube videos, you may be able to make a name for yourself on YouTube, but you will want it to be a good one. It is also important that you examine safety when making a YouTube video. As previously mentioned, comedy videos are popular on YouTube and so are video blogs. Video blogs are where internet uses recite their blog in front of a camera, instead of in print. Video blogs are fun to do, but many video blogers, both on and off of YouTube, make the mistake of giving out too much information about themselves. For your safety, you will want to avoid giving your real name, especially if you are showing your face on your video blog. It is advised that you do not mention your real name in any of your YouTube videos, but you definitely do not want to mention your address or any of your phone numbers. Not divulging your personal information is for your own safety. You need to remember that you never really know who is watching your YouTube videos or what they are thinking. The above mentioned points are just a few of the many that you will want to keep in mind, before making a video which will later be posted on YouTube. In short, aim for quality and keep internet safety in mind and your YouTube video could end up being a hit. Word Count 665

The benefits of a real estate directory to visitors

: When you need a telephone number, where do you turn? If you’re like most people, you flip open the Yellow Pages – the telephone directory. Directories are so much a part of our everyday lives that we take their presence for granted. The building directory helps you find the right office or apartment. The employee directory will help you find the right person in the right department. A film directory helps you find the movie that you’re looking for by title, subject, actors, director or producer. One of today’s most popular ‘search engines’ started life as a directory – and still is. Yahoo! has one of the most comprehensive directories of web sites online. But when you’re looking for specific information, especially regional information, it pays to turn to a specialty directory to help you find what you want. An online real estate directory is the best place to turn when you’re looking for a information about buying, selling, inspecting and improving property. What is a real estate directory? Like most web directories, a real estate directory is a listing of web sites indexed and organized to make things easier to find. Depending on the real estate directory, the listings available will be indexed according to region, agent, type of property or price – and often all of the above. Other sections will be clearly labeled as well – a comprehensive real estate directory offers more than just properties for sale. You’ll find listings for appraisers, inspectors, home improvement sites, contractors – almost anything that has to do with real estate. Why a real estate directory? Unlike a single realtor site, a real estate directory will cover listings from many different sources, which gives you the widest possible variety of listings to search through. A trip through a real estate directory will give you a good feel for the general market conditions in the region where you plan to buy – and make it easier for you to find a realtor who is listing the properties that you want to buy. After all, why deal with a realtor who specializes in luxury condos when you’re looking for a two-bedroom bungalow on the lake? While traditional search engines are a good place to start looking for home listings, you’ll often have to drill down through several pages to get past the listings for home mortgage companies, a few dozen single realtors, several realty listing sites that only lead to more realty listing sites – in other words, all the flotsam that floats to the top of the search engines. By going directly to a real estate directory, you’ll cut out the sifting through pages of unrelated info and get straight to what you’re looking for – an indexed directory of current real estate listings that makes it easy to find the homes you want to buy. Finally, the best real estate directory doesn’t stop with providing listings of homes for sale like many realtor sites do. You’ll find listings for web sites that tell you how to prepare your home for sale, how to put your home on the market, which home improvements offer the most ROI (return on investment, of course), mortgage and loan companies and so much more.

Motor homes should you buy new or used

Motor Homes: Should You Buy New or Used Are you interested in buying a motor home for yourself or your family? If you are, you will find that you have a number of decisions to make. One of the many decisions that you will have to make involves deciding whether you would like to buy a new motor home or a used motor home. If this is your first time buying a motor home, you may be wondering whether you should buy a motor home that is new or one that is used. When it comes to determining whether you should buy a new motor home or a used motor home, you may want to think about examining the pros and cons of each. Below, some of the biggest pros and cons to buying both new and used motor homes are outlined below. One of the many reasons why hopeful motor home owners like to buy new motor homes is because of the pride that is associated with owning a motor home. This pride is the same pride that is associated with buying a new car instead of a used one. There are some people who just like buying new. In fact, for some people, the thought of buying used never even enters into their minds. If you have your heart set on buying a new motor home, you may want to seriously think about doing so. The last thing that you want is to be stuck with a motor home that isn’t your “dream,” motor home. Perhaps, the only downside to buying a brand new motor home is the cost of doing so. It is no secret that new motor homes are expensive. With that in mind, however, it is important to remember that you will be the first owner a motor home. This means that you shouldn’t have to worry about what the previous owners put a motor home through. While new motor homes can have some complications, in terms of mechanics, many motor home owners feel safer and more secure in new motor homes. Although a large number of motor home owners prefer buying new motor homes, there are many more out there who decide to go with used or pre-owned motor homes. One of the many reasons why used motor homes are so popular is because they are much more affordable than new motor homes. In many cases, you will find that the value of a new motor home decreases significantly as soon as you drive it off of the lot. That is why you can often save yourself a considerable amount of money by buying a used motor home. While being able to save money by buying a used motor home is nice, you will also find that there are a number of cons or downsides to buying a used motor home as well. One of those downsides is the condition of them. When you buy a used motor home, you never really know what the motor home went through. Unless you are an experienced motor home mechanic or you know someone who is, you may never really know the true condition of a used motor home that you may be interested in buying. In that aspect, you are taking a huge gamble by buying a used motor home; however, for many, that gamble pays off. Although it is nice to have an idea as to what type of motor home you would like to buy, you don’t necessarily have to make up your mind right away. In fact, you may want to take the time to examine both new and used motor homes for sale. You may be lucky and come across a like new motor home for a great deal or you may even be able to find a new motor home on clearance. That is what is amazing about buying a motor home; you never really know what you will find until you find it. As outlined above, there are a number of pros and cons to both buying a new motor home and buying a used motor home. As you likely already know, the decision as to whether you want to buy your next motor home new or used is yours to make. In all honesty, you your purchase decision should depend on your own personal wants and needs. Word Count 720

Push email

There's a lot of hype at the moment about push email technology. New cell phone handsets are beginning to support the technology and it seems to be getting its head into other areas of the market too. This could be the next big thing in the telecommunications industry and the speculation is heating up about who are going to be the major players involved. Right now there are at least five major operators in this market and surely this will be reduced in the near future. Most experts say that there are simply too many of them fighting over the same space. Right now both Visto and Seven have been keen to show their commitment to this technology. These are following the lead set by Canadian firm RIM (Research In Motion) who brought the technology into the spotlight with their Blackberry device. While so far they have been concentrating on supplying hardware, they have stated that they will be moving into the supply of software instead in the near future. The wave of consolidations has already begun. British vendor Comtag was acquired by Smartner who in turn was acquired by Seven; moving in parallel with this, Visto acquired Psion Software. It looks like the heat is turning up in the race to capture this market. Both Visto and Seven show no sign of flagging as they continue to increase the number of operators they can lay claim to, as well as increasing the number of handsets and other supported devices they are marketing. Seven has also added a useful security feature which allows you to send a special message to your device which will delete all the messages it currently has stored. This could be lifesaving if you left your handset in a public place. Good Technology was somewhat shielded in its area by supporting Palm and Windows devices but now there is the new Windows Mobile based Treos to contend with. So what is Microsoft's reaction to all of this? Well, they appear to be gearing up to enter the market. In his blog, Microsoft senior technology specialist, Harold Wong has reported that the company is getting ready to release its 'Community Technology Preview' build of Exchange Server 2003, Service pack 2. And this is not the only step the giant is taking. In June 2005, Intellisync announced a new service that would allow subscribers to receive push email on Windows Mobile, Palm OS and Symbian devices. While, of the current estimated 4 million push email subscribers, most seem to be using RIM Blackberry devices, this assault will be difficult to bare much longer. On the technical side, there are two basic technologies that can provide push email solutions: * one technology is true push; * the other has a push effect using synchronization. While the users will not notice a significant difference when they log in to check their mail, the costs vary to a considerable extent with true push technologies offering a far cheaper monthly cost to the user. While Intellisync is currently using a SyncML or synchronization technology to serve its customers, RIM and Microsoft are using their own proprietary systems. The system that has found favour both with Vodafone, the world's largest network operator, and Rogers, the first operator to deploy Blackberry devices is the solution that Visto opted for also.

The fifth Month (April): The old Thai New Year is celebrated in this month of April (between April 13 and April 15). To relieve the hot weather in the summer month, the dainty Khao Chae, (-a luncheon dish which includes rice served in scented water with jasmine and rose petals, and with seven or eight side dishes-), is used to serve monks, relatives and friends in the merit-making occasion.

Metabolism what is it and how can i control it

Many of my clients were initially overweight, not all, but most were. In fact, more than 60% of my clients came to me to help them lose weight. The other 40% is a mixture of people who want to live longer, who want to look sexier, who want to add muscle to their physique, or who just want to live a healthy, energy-rich life. Today, I'm going to focus on helping those people who want to lose weight, not because I think that the topic of weight loss is more important than other topics I could cover, but because I think I need to clear up a few false ideas that are circulating in the industry. First and foremost, if you're overweight, there's a very good chance that you have a low metabolism! I know that might not be shocking to you. You may have already thought that you had a slow metabolism, but here's why I'm re-stating it... Having a slow metabolism means that you can eat 'only a little food' and still gain more weight than your neighbor who eats far more than you every day of his or her life. Your metabolism is basically a bunch of organs and glands that are responsible for regulating how your body burns food for fuel and how it converts that food into energy. These include the thyroid, pancreas, stomach, small and large intestines, and the colon. When you have a slow metabolism there's a good chance that one of more of these systems is out of balance or just plain not working properly (and that's almost always due to improper living, disease, drugs, or a severe accident). But there are more causes for being overweight other than having a low metabolism. You see, overweight people tend to eat when they're not hungry, they tend to have a larger appetite, they tend to eat "diet foods" more often (which are rarely conducive to weight loss as the label suggests), they tend to eat before they go to bed, and worst of all they tend to see themselves as being overweight. Now you can clean up almost all of this mess by living a healthy lifestyle, or if you've read any of my books or listened to any of the audio programs my company has out, then you already know all the basics associated with living a lean, healthy lifestyle. But the underlying problem that can never be cleared up simply with your actions, is the way you see yourself when you close your eyes. My studies at the National Metabolic and Longevity Research Center have taught me that overweight people constantly think about their weight in a negative way, thus creating the undesired effect. It's true that you become what you think about, and if you constantly see yourself as being fat, you'll never be thin! Here's a tip...for the next 30 days (it takes 28 - 30 days to change how you subconsciously think of yourself) take a few minutes in the morning and picture a great looking, tight, sexy body from head to toe - then put your face on that body. Do this exercise again in the mid afternoon, and then again right before you fall asleep at night. Do this for 30 days and I guarantee that you'll experience a dramatic change in the way your body looks.

Interior decorating proper way to light the home

One of the most important considerations in making a proper home theatre system is lighting. From the lighting designers’ perspective, there exist three kinds of lighting - task lighting, accent lighting and ambient lighting. Task lighting is, as the name suggests, lighting for doing a task. An example of task lighting is a table lamp that lets you read a book or doing crossword puzzles. Next, accent lighting is used to accent or highlight architectural or favorite displays of a room. If you have a large home with high ceilings with beautiful architecture you will want to show it off. Lastly, ambient lighting is used as filler. It lights up every part of the room. In other words it's all the lighting combined. In a proper environment, all the types of lights should be properly placed, as well as all of them must exist in balance for creating a good working environment. Lights influence humans deeply. In a theatre room, lighting becomes a tough job. Many problems must be addressed. The light should just be balanced, so as not to cast a glare or make it too dark to making movement impossible. If you have a large screened television lighting is very important for the room. Glare off of one of these televisions is worse then a smaller one. Moreover, it is always preferable to make the room look inviting. It should be comfortable for everyone. It is always advisable to plan everything in advance before purchasing anything. Consulting an interior decorater should be considered but if you can' afford the expense you will need to pick up magazines and read all the articles you can on the subject. One should have a clear idea of what effect one ones to create before you pick up the phone to call. The fixtures should be wisely selected from the wide range available in all shapes, sizes, color and wattages. It should be kept in mind where a person will seat and the correct type of lighting should be decided on that. While watching a movie, one does not like to be in total darkness. It restricts movement and puts strain on the eyes. However, with proper lighting, it is possible to cast an illusion of little light while taking care of the eyestrain. One solution is to use wall sconces, which create low light but is enough to diminish eyestrain. This is why movie theaters do this because it's easy on the eyes. They can be positioned all around a room, mounted on walls along the baseboards or even hung from the ceiling. For a properly lit room, the lights should be able to be controlled individually. In no case, should more than three lights be assigned to a particular switch. This will enable a person to have the perfect lighting for any occasion. There are many professionals working in the field of lighting. Should you have any question, you should not hesitate to ask for advice. It is very important to get it right. And there are many out there who are willing to help the people who want to do it themselves without any cost.

Save online try the online savings account

Savings account is account deposited that is only intended to stay in the bank for a relatively shorter time span. This account usually offers much lower interest rates than most bank accounts. But still, like many other accounts, it accumulates interests. The rate of which is largely dependent on the conditions provided by the bank. Savings accounts are normally maintained by commercial banks, credit unions, loans and savings associations, and some mutual savings bank that are offering interests that can never be used as money. However, the account may be utilized by writing a check. These accounts allow customers to use parts of their liquid assets, which may be used for any transactions. But before a savings account is used, the balances in the savings account must first be transferred to checkable deposits or transaction deposits or currency. But due to the simplicity of transferring the saving accounts, they are often termed as "money". Though the use of checks is often not allowed, withdrawals are still easier when done using the savings accounts. The Money Market Deposit Account or the MMDAs on the other hand may restrict you on a limited number of transference of accounts and withdrawals. With the advent of the Internet comes the development of a new system of banking - the direct-to-consumer banking system. This particularly addresses online savings accounts. Direct-to-consumer system allows direct access to savings accounts from the traditional bank online where money naturally transfers by means of electronic bank transfer. There are two types of banking institutions that create and allow this form of transaction - online-only banks and the traditional banks. Online-only banking is the answer of the entrepreneurs to the growing consensus of the general public of who usually make banking transactions through the internet. These banks tried to accomplish what real banks have done. They offered almost the same spectrum of products that traditional banks have but offered them on consumer-friendly deals - high interest rates and low fees. Online savings accounts often offer significantly higher rates of interest as compared to the contemporary savings account. This deal may be attributed to the fact that lesser expenses during online processing and that online market is naturally rate-sensitive. Sadly, the majority of the consumers are not yet prepared to this new treatment in banking. This in effect, brought down most of such banks. But by the end of year 2000, ING launched an optimized form of online-only banking. This was rather successful and brought great increase in the online banking industry. They created a much simpler savings account transaction that pays higher rates than the traditional banking. But this does not permit the use of ATM cards, checks, and other services. It was only intended as an account for which your money may be safely guarded. For almost three years, ING had no other rivals in this system of banking. But recently, many other banking institutions have followed suit. Some were the pioneers of the online-only banking who eventually died down during the course yet returned to beat the market share ING has. Some of these banks offer the same services with that of the ING programs. Most have the same principle of high interest rates and no unnecessary frills. One notable new entrant is the VirtualBank. This targeted the high-end techy society yet they offer much lower rates as compared to the ING Bank. Thus they gained some consumers. Eventually, the industry expanded sometime in 2003 until 2004. And by the year 2005, savings account virtually revolutionized banking by means of online-only banking.
