HOW RADIATION DESTROY a human BODY

2010-03-15T14:13:00.001-07:00

Mobile phones are a modern day convenience in our society, but this advance in technology come at a price to human health. Humanity engages various forms of radiation in our everyday life from microwaves to xrays, we are surrounded by EMF waves (electromagnetic radiation).
Almost 2 billion people worldwide (92 million users in the philippines alone) use cellphones, many whom are children. This usage represents an unprecedented exposure to electromagnetic radiation in the population. Estimates put EMF radiation exposure at 100 times what it was only a few decades ago.
Is this safe?
Dr. George Carlo
Founder of the Safe Wireless Initiative... A world public Health Authority on cellphones.
“Harm from wireless technology maybe even more tragic than global warming. Cellphone radiation can caue genetic damage and even moderate use of wireless communication technology dramatically increases the risk of brain tumors.
What is EMF? Exposure to electromagnetic fields is not a new phenomenon. However, during the 20th century, environmental exposure to man-made electromagnetic fields has been steadily increasing as growing electricity demand, ever-advancing technologies and changes in social behavior have created more and more artificial sources.

Benefits of Scalar Energy

Eliminates the negative effects level of man-made frequencies and electro-magnetic fields. (TV, cell-phones, electric cable and laptops).
1. Scalar energy frequency neutralizes man-made frequencies into harmless frequencies so it does not affect our health.
2. It increases the cell energy level in our body to 70-90 mini volts. (70-90 mini volts are the healthy cells in our body).and headache. When we are tired or ill the cell energy charges will decrease.
3. Scalar Energy helps to energize our cells back to the healthy state and maintains the electrical charges, thus we will feel less fatigue, tiredness and rigidity after work.
4. It protects our cell’s DNA from damage and prevents the growth of cancer cells.
5. DNA’s particles are connected with each other by hydrogen bonds. When the hydrogen bonds of DNA are damaged, some of the DNA’s particles breaks and become cancer cells.
6. Scalar Energy is able to imprint itself in human DNA, and protect hydrogen bond from damage by increasing its energy.
6. Strengthens immune function by up to 149%.
7. Exerts anti-depression effects by inhibiting the reuptake of noradrenalin.

Research just show that radiation that emitted from mobile phone could cause:

Tiredness
Insomnia
Lost of concentration & memory
Cancer
Cardiovascular diseases
Metabolic disorders
Fatique
Psychological & physical stress
Aging

Every day, we’re swimming in a sea of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) produced by electrical appliances, power lines, wiring in buildings, and a slew of other technologies that are part of modern life. From the dishwasher and microwave oven in the kitchen and the clock radio next to your bed, to the cellular phone you hold to your ear—sometimes for hours each day—exposure to EMR is growing and becoming a serious health threat.

But there’s a huge public health crisis looming from one particular threat: EMR from cellular phones—both the radiation from the handsets and from the tower-based antennas carrying the signals—which studies have linked to development of brain tumors, genetic damage, and other exposure-related conditions.1-9 Yet the government and a well-funded cell phone industry media machine continue to mislead the unwary public about the dangers of a product used by billions of people. Most recently, a Danish epidemiological study announced to great fanfare the inaccurate conclusion that cell phone use is completely safe

Cell Phones Reach the Market without Safety Testing

The cellular phone industry was born in the early 1980s, when communications technology that had been developed for the Department of Defense was put into commerce by companies focusing on profits. This group, with big ideas but limited resources, pressured government regulatory agencies—particularly the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—to allow cell phones to be sold without pre-market testing. The rationale, known as the “low power exclusion,” distinguished cell phones from dangerous microwave ovens based on the amount of power used to push the microwaves. At that time, the only health effect seen from microwaves involved high power strong enough to heat human tissue. The pressure worked, and cell phones were exempted from any type of regulatory oversight, an exemption that continues today. An eager public grabbed up the cell phones, but according to Dr. George Carlo, “Those phones were slowly prompting a host of health problems.”

Today there are more than two billion cell phone users being exposed every day to the dangers of electromagnetic radiation (EMR)—dangers government regulators and the cell phone industry refuse to admit exist. Included are: genetic damage, brain dysfunction, brain tumors, and other conditions such as sleep disorders and headaches.1-9 The amount of time spent on the phone is irrelevant, according to Dr. Carlo, as the danger mechanism is triggered within seconds. Researchers say if there is a safe level of exposure to EMR, it’s so low that we can’t detect it.

The cell phone industry is fully aware of the dangers. In fact, enough scientific evidence exists that some companies’ service contracts prohibit suing the cell phone manufacturer or service provider, or joining a class action lawsuit. Still, the public is largely ignorant of the dangers, while the media regularly trumpets new studies showing cell phones are completely safe to use. Yet, Dr. Carlo points out, “None of those studies can prove safety, no matter how well they’re conducted or who’s conducting them.” What’s going on here? While the answer in itself is simplistic, how we got to this point is complex

This was all caused by radiation, that emit a lot of Positive Ion in the air. The logic is simple we need another stuff that emit Negative Ion. Usually negative Ion produced in beach, mountain, forest, you can feel the fresh oxygen in the air.

Japan technology has enable us to produce sticker that created from various mineral stone that produced negative ion and embedded into the sticker. Having the same effect line energy pendant but designed specially for electronic appliances.

Mobile Anti Radiation Chip

Mobile Anti Radiation Chip
MRP 30 USD

The man-made electromagnetic fields are structurally different from the electromagnetic fields found in nature--including the subtle low electromagnetic fields that our body's cells use to communicate with each other. The natural fields are RANDOM (or "noisy") in their frequency, amplitude and waveform, whereas the artificial EMFs are REGULAR and constant. For example, EMFs from cell phones appear as regular bursts of microwave radiation, EMFs from computer monitors are saw-tooth shapes, and EMFs from AC-powered devices are sinusoidal. Our cells respond negatively to such regular fields, become stressed, and try to protect itself.

The proprietary KERT American technology built into the Cell Chip avoids the adverse cell response by superimposing an optimal random field or 'noise field' on the bio-effecting electromagnetic field, thus making the resulting field random and the exposure neutral on a biological level. In other words, the EMR is no longer a signal to the cell, and no triggering results. This occurs without disturbing the function and operation of your cell phone.
In the presence of external electromagnetic field, the chip's KERT American technology component emits subtle low frequencies (the 'noise field') of electromagnetic oscillations that resemble resonance frequencies of living cells in the body. These oscillations compensate and neutralize the harmful effects of EMR generated by cell phones and electronic devices while simultaneously providing support for cellular functions in the body.
The proprietary KERT American technology does not reduce the intensity of EMR, it neutralizes the negative effects of EMR by changing the quality of the field rather than reducing the EMR intensity. Any type of device that claims to reduce or suppress EMR intensity can create even worse problems for the cellular structures of the body. First of all it will suppress the electromagnetic processes in the cells as these processes are thousand times weaker than EMR generated by any electronic appliances.
The noise-field technology was initially developed in a research funded by the US Army in 1986. The Army was concerned about the effects of radiation from communication equipment on key personnel. The research uncovered the connection between the constancy in EMF wave and the cell's trigger response. They then discovered that by superimposing a random field on the EMF wave, the EMF-induced biological effects are eliminated.
An American researcher, developed new version of the technology whereby the noise-field is activated by the electromagnetic field itself. In other words, it is generated only in the presence of an EMF wave. This 'passive' noise-field technology is a unique innovation, and is what is used in the Cell Chip. It requires no outside power source. (The Army version is 'active,' where the noise-field is generated using a power source).
While using a mobile phone, some people feel a specific or an unspecific symptom. It is highly individual. It has been reported in scientific papers that EMFs such as those emitted from mobile phones may significantly increase the risk of conditions such as cancer. Individuals developing such conditions rarely feel anything before it’s too late. Therefore, even if any one "feel nothing", it is no guarantee that person is safe”.
KERT Cell Chips are a technology designed to eliminate the biological effects of EMF exposure. The KERT Cell Chip technology has been developed as a result of a large research effort.

Top 10 Tools to Get Blogging

2008-05-27T14:49:00.000-07:00

Great tips for you who will want to become a professional blogger. You should follow these top ten tools for your blogs.

10. Skip the copy/paste with AutoCopy

Many bloggers quote passages from other web pages, and referencing those snippets of language usually requires a Control/Command+C, then Control/Command+V once you're at the exact right place in your markup. Not so with AutoCopy, a free Firefox extension that automatically adds whatever text you've highlighted in your browser to the clipboard, then pastes it when you middle-click anywhere in Firefox. If you're not using a quick-blog tool like Tumblr, it might be the closest equivalent to the kind of speed-of-thought blogging that keeps writing from turning into a chore. (Original post)

9. Copy links and their titles with CoLT

When it comes time to post a relevant link at the end of most Lifehacker posts, the uninitiated (read: me, a few months ago) have to first copy the URL of the link, paste it in the right spot, then head back, copy the title of the linked page (being careful not to click!), then paste it inside the link tags. Those who have discovered the magic of the Copy Link Text Firefox extension, on the other hand, have magic right-click options that make grabbing the URL, the text, or both parts of a link dead simple. Give your right-click a rest and get back to adding context. (Original post)

8. Make reusable templates for posts and images

A lot of posts are, at least structurally, very similar, with a certain-size picture up top, a certain formatting for IM pastes or photo dumps, or similar repetitions. To save your time for real editing, try using Wired's guide to automating Photoshop actions. For hand-coding HTML, it pays to create templates out of your common formats (tables, unordered lists, picture posts) and plug them into a text-substitution app (see below for links and ideas). If you're tinkering with your site's design or layout, why re-invent the wheel? Grab a free template for Blogger, WordPress, or one of 40 general CSS templates for use on any site,. Need more? Check out Gina's roundup of seven different free HTML templates.

7. Live-blog from your phone with Jott

Free voicemail-to-text service Jott can help you nail down post material while you're on the go with a phone call, but you can also use the service directly with a number of blogging platforms, including Blogger, Typepad, LiveJournal, Tumblr, and WordPress. If you're hosting your own blog, you can still use Jott's voice-to-email service in conjunction with your platform's email-to-post function to indirectly get your thoughts up online, even while you're miles from your keyboard.

6. Automate repetitive code with text replacement

If you've ever manually embedded a Flickr photo, created a custom headline or signature template, or searched out previously-used code to copy and paste for your posts, you need to add a text replacement app to your stable. Any of them—Texter for Windows, TextExpander for Mac OS X, or Snippits for Linux—can quickly paste, while also preventing common typos and misspellings. If you just want to speed up your HTML coding, try Adam's Markdown automation script, a stand-alone, blog-focused precursor to Texter.

5. Get topic-based post ideas sent to your inbox every day with Google Alerts

Whether you write about a team, a certain topic, or a broad trend, Google Alerts brings your post material to you. Use the same kind of advanced search operators you use on Google's main search site to laser-focus on a particular kind of web site, blog post, news story, or group post you're looking for. Decide if it gets sent as fast as Google's servers find it, or in a daily or weekly email digest. Using Alerts exposes you to a wider array of information than you'd get from a defined list of RSS feeds, and it's an easy way to keep your eyes on the web without really being at the search box all day.

4. Spend less time resizing images

Few blogs can get by with just words alone, but finding the perfect image to illustrate a post—and then making it fit right—can take more time than the post itself. If you're not committed to Photoshop or its open-source alternative, GIMP, free online image editing site Picnik is a good bet, both for its right-click Firefox extension and its integration with Flickr. If you've got a whole set of pictures to post up, you can try the Windows-only ImageResizer, or for an elegant solution, use the export-and-resize functionality of Picasa. (For more on finding reusable images, see our six ways to find reusable media.

3. Keep post ideas synchronized with Foxmarks

Great posting fodder can be found at all hours of the day, but you're not always ready to post it at that exact moment. Use the Foxmarks bookmark synchronizer, and your bookmarks toolbar becomes a universal idea space you can drag-and-drop your links onto. Anyone who likes more control over their backed-up bookmarks can synchronize with their own server, and it can be rolled into a portable Firefox to help you get blogging done with just a thumb drive and some spare time. (Original post)

2. Quick post media (minimum writing required) with Tumblr

A tumblelog—that is, a quick-post blog powered by the Tumblr webapp—makes posting your thoughts, IM chats, videos, photos, and other favorite media tidbits a lot less intimidating than the wide-open HTML spaces of Wordpress, Movable Type, and other platforms (which are still great for longer, text-and-links posts). The real time-saver is Tumblr's bookmarklet, which makes capturing and preparing a new post a one-click affair. Here's more on keeping up an instant, no-overhead blog with Tumblr.

1. Bookmark and track email and posts with Gmail

Adam showed us back in the day how you could set up Gmail as a bookmarking service (using the Gmail this bookmarklet), but with Gmail's 2.0 version, it's even easier to throw the emails that inspire you to get blogging with your other links, as they have short, human-readable permalinks that you can easily drag into a bookmark folder. And, assuming your blog inspires some kind of feedback, you can keep it separated and organized from your day-to-day mail using filters and persistent searches.

Top 10 reasons a website Fails To Perform in web industry

2008-05-10T01:23:00.000-07:00

From SitePro News,

We find the following article which is so important to you.

A website is a tool and can be of significant help to your business. It can cut a lot of time you put into giving information to customers. It can answer questions and perform tasks for you. Find out where websites fail to perform and how you can figure out where to make it better.

1. Undefined Website Objectives

Some sites try to do way too much at once, or worse, they have no definable purpose. Many provide no clear objective. A site can do more than look good and flashy and have your contact information.

Websites can be informational, storing content and articles based on a topic. Sites can run eCommerce solutions that help you with your sales process. It can also generate leads, asking customers to fill out forms with their information and interests. It can also be a hybrid site, with mixed purposes, like offering a free ebook or free access to information (informational) in return for contact information (lead generation).

Defining the purpose of your website gives a clear direction to your customers. Where should customers arrive when they find your website? Where do you want them to end up? Using a clear path and clear objectives, you can lead them through your site, your products, and your information, depending on how you need to sell your products. Not all products or services can be sold directly in an eCommerce situation. Maybe you prefer just getting to know your customer a bit more, and being able to forward marketing materials, so a lead generation type of site might be more suitable.

Assign a secondary objective. Maybe after visitors sign up for free access, or an ebook, they are encourage to ask more by contacting your sales reps, or perhaps they can make a direct purchase online. Use a clearly definable call to action. "Email for more information." "Clíck here to sign up." Tell visitors where to go.

2. Unidentified Target Audience

Demographics have been used in marketing for generations. Marketers use the information because it works. Knowing who your audience is defines the purpose to your website and calls out those who qualify and would be interested in your products. Marketing is the one area where discrimination is actually a good thing! You don't want to waste the marketing dollars that draw people to your site who won't need your products in the first place.

3. Building for the Wrong Audience

Your site can have a purpose and a select audience, but if it doesn't appeal to audiences, they tend to go elsewhere. Finding preferences is only the first step. Once you figure out what your demographic is, it is time to find out what appeals to them, and use that to your advantage. It could be something as simple as site colors and images, to where and how they prefer to use navigation systems and the type of content presented.

Maybe you need simple content, easy to read and understand for younger audiences. Perhaps you need something a bit more technical for professionals. You can even see if you need to add features for those who are visually impaired. Paying attention to your demographic and their preferences can mean building your website around their likes and getting more responses.

4. Oblivious to Web Traffic Sources

A link on a Harry Potter fan club forum to your website can bring in traffic, but does it really bring in the right customers? If you're not directing traffic from sites relevant to yours or where a matching market exists, you might end up with empty hits to your website. It looks pretty on stat pages but it doesn't really do anything.
Refocus your efforts on search engine optimization and focus on keywords that do fit, not just what might be popular. You can plan the sort of traffic you want and focus your outreach efforts on that. Planning your search engine campaigns can make them more effective, bringing the right customers to you. You don't need 1,000 random visitors a day, when 100 qualified visitors will do.

5. Underestimating the Competition

Who says you can't grab ideas from your competition? Find out what they are lacking and draw customers to your site by adding more features and information. Your target audience is searching the web for your product. Don't let your competition become more appealing.

Understand your competition by observing their sites. Where are your competitors linking? Where aren't they? What designs do they use on their site? Does your target audience like that type of design or do they want something better? Figure out how to improve your site and make it better than your competition.

6. Poor Site Communication and Inconsistency

If you're building a website, is one page orange and another blue? Does one page have your logo and another doesn't? People love consistency.

Does your content and images display the right message? Your website might have pretty pictures of your children, or a fun story about what happened to you last Christmas, but is it really what your customers want to know?

Skip the personal info, unless it's relevant and your audience wants to hear about it. You also need to make sure you present your brand in its best light, and consistently give visitors the same presentation every time and on every page. Let your brand stand out.

7. Outdated and Antiquated Site Features

Out with the old. Check your site for old content and images and delete them. Remove old links that go nowhere too. Forget pop ups and old methods of keeping visitors around. Content is great, but if it's so old that it's irrelevant, you'll lose respectability and your expert status.

Stick to new information. Don't be afraid to get rid of old articles and delete old images. Do an update on your site features, like navigation systems and contact forms.

8. Poor Overall Site Performance

You've plastered all there is to know about you on a few pages. Is this the right way to do it? Maybe not. Yes, you've given them something to look at, but you have to remember, your time to impress people on the Internet is limited to just a few seconds. Long passages of text, lengthy forms, even poorly constructed or confusing navigation can slow people down, which leads to people leaving.

Making your website flow is all about making your site easy to read, easy to browse and easy to find what you're looking for. Include a search function, highlight popular pages, and make it simple for people to give you their information. Start with short forms, only the essentials, and a few simple questions. You can get more info later.

9. Lack of Commitment

When was the last time you updated additional information to your website?

Remember those "Website Under Construction" images from the early years of the Internet? Over time, people have learned those images are pointless. Your website is ever evolving, ever needing updating. Your website is isn't ever finished.

You must make a commitment to update information and to improve interest in your site from visitors. It could be as simple as updating a blog once or twice a week, or updating about sales and special events. Give visitors something to come back to, and let them turn into regular guests.

10. Not using an Experienced Web Firm

You do a good job with what you do, and a good business and website owner knows when to call for help. Maybe you're okay with writing content, but you need help with creating navigation and setting up forms. It's okay to ask someone else for help, either with a few pages, or for the entire site design, and leave it to a professional.

It also saves money and time getting someone else to do the complicated things for you. Are you spending weeks on figuring out a web page design set up when it takes a professional a few hours to produce? When you're in business, you consult with professionals who will help you build a better website, develop methods of search engine marketing strategies, and find out how to appeal to your target audience. You save tíme, money, and plenty of headaches.

World's top 10 billionaires, Buffet is the richest

2008-03-07T10:12:00.000-08:00

Warren Buffett, the famed US investor who heads Berkshire Hathaway Inc, replaced his friend and Microsoft Corp founder Bill Gates as the richest man in the world, Forbes magazine said on Wednesday.

The magazine estimated Buffett's worth at $62 billion in its annual ranking of the world's wealthiest people.
Mexican telecoms tycoon Carlos Slim came in second with an estimated worth of $60 billion, pushing Gates to third place after 13 years of holding the No 1 spot.

The magazine estimated Gates' worth at $58 billion.
Buffett's rise to No 1 was particularly noteworthy, Forbes said, as it came at a time of great financial turmoil and as Buffett has begun to siphon off part of his fortune to charity.
"Even though he is giving away a piece of his fortune each year, the stock of Berkshire Hathaway, the source of Warren Buffet's wealth, has been rising very rapidly," Chief Executive of Forbes Magazines Steve Forbes said, noting Buffett's fortune climbed $10 billion in the last calendar year.
Buffett in June 2006 announced plans to give 85 percent of his fortune away, granting it to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and four family charities. Bill Gates serves on the board of directors of Berkshire Hathaway and is a long-time bridge buddy of Buffett's. Gates has also given a substantial amount of his fortune to the foundation.
Buffett, often called the Sage of Omaha, has been lauded among investors for his preference for investing in larger companies with easy-to-understand businesses, large or dominant market shares, consistent earnings, and strong management.
In the early 1960s, Buffett started to invest in Berkshire, then a struggling textile maker, and took it over in 1965. Since then, he has transformed it into a holding company for more than 50 companies, ranging from Benjamin Moore paint and Dairy Queen ice cream to Fruit of the Loom underwear and Ginsu knives.
Gates has held the No. 1 spot since 1995, when he unseated Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, a Japanese real estate tycoon. Tsutsumi fell off the billionaire's list last year after receiving a suspended prison sentence for falsifying financial statements and insider trading in 2005.
Slim, a former stock market trader, is known for buying up struggling, cheap firms and turning them into profitable cash cows. He built his fortune by privatizing former Mexican state telephone monopoly Telmex. America Movil, a Telmex spin-off, is is now Slim's flagship business and Latin America's biggest mobile phone company.
Keeping up with the Russians?
The collective net worth of the world's 1,125 billionaires soared to $4.4 trillion, the magazine said.
The list of billionaires has almost doubled in the past four years, Forbes said. There were 469 US billionaires, worth a combined $1.6 trillion, while the 656 billionaires who live outside the United States are worth $2.8 trillion.
Russia came in second place as home to 87 billionaires and Moscow is now the world's billionaire center, the magazine said. The Russian capital is now home to more billionaires than New York City.
India, China and Turkey also saw large gains in numbers of billionaires.
The world's youngest billionaire is 23-year-old Mark Zuckerberg, founder of social networking Web site Facebook. The magazine estimated his worth at $1.5 billion and said he is the youngest self-made billionaire to ever appear in the Forbes billionaire rankings.
Recent turmoil in the financial markets has taken its toll on the list.
James Cayne, Chairman of investment bank Bear Stearns Cos; William Pulte, who founded US home builder Pulte Homes Inc; and Howard Schultz, founder of coffee chain Starbucks all fell off the billionaire's list amid declines in their companies' stock prices.
The decline in the dollar, a trend that Buffett himself has been betting on since 2002, provided a boost to billionaires outside the United States, particularly because the Forbes list is tabulated in US dollars.

The top ten list of billionaires:

Herewith the 10 richest people in the world, according to Forbes magazine's annual list of billionaires.

Top 10-step Goal Setting process for you

2008-03-02T13:59:00.000-08:00

Many people generally know what goals are. But only 5% write down their goals, and a plan to make them happen. That’s the art of goal setting.

Discover now what goals are; what goal setting is; why most people don’t set goals; and why goal setting turns your life from running endlessly in a wheel, toward consistent life achievements.

What are Goals?
Goals are very specific life outcomes we want, that give us direction and personal aims.

What is Goal Setting?
What separates Goals from ordinary Dreams is writing them down – because this begins pre-programming your mind to find ways to make the goals happen. Goal setting means planning specific action steps to take, to achieve your goals.

Why don’t more people set Goals?
Most people don’t know how, or don’t know the value of goal setting for achieving their life ambitions. They fear failure. They think they have goals, when instead these are just ordinary dreams.

Why Goal Setting changes your life.
Goals give shape and focus to your life, the compelling “reason why”, the momentum to take action, the “How to…” make them happen. Goal setting – the art of writing down specific desired outcomes, with the planned steps you must take – “forces” your mind to look for ways to make the desired goal a success.

Here is the easiest, most powerful 10-step Goal Setting process for you.

1. Think about what you want and write it down

2. Decide EXACTLY what you want and write it down.

3. Make sure your goal is measurable.

4. Identify the specific reasons that you want to achieve this goal and write them down.

5. Establish a definite date for accomplishment of your goal and write it down.

6. Create a list of action steps that you need to take to accomplish your goal and write it down.

7. Create an action plan from your list of action steps and write it down.

8. Take Action.

9. Do something every day

10. View your goals as often as possible.

Now grab a pen and some paper, and spend 30 minutes setting the goals for your life!

Top ten tips to start a business

2008-03-02T12:43:00.000-08:00

Business means profit and loss of a project. But I always focus on profit of my business. If you start a new business, you will remember some important issue. Here is some tips for you to start a new business.
1. Do your homework. You may think your idea is fantastic and your friends and family have probably told you it is great too, but what do other people think? Test out your idea on your potential customers before you start.

2. Work out your costs. You must be able to have enough money coming into the business to cover what your product or service costs you to make. If you don’t, you’re in danger of not making any money out of your business.

3. Think of free ways to promote your business. Let’s face it you’ve got enough to spend your money on without spending it on marketing. Think about where your potential customers go (i.e. if your customers are mums, they’ll go to schools, post office, doctor’s surgeries etc) and go where they go.

4. Don’t spend a fortune on a website. Believe me you’ll want to change your website after a few months when you get to know what you’re doing. Spend the money on your website then and get it done cheaply at first.

5. Write a business plan. Too many businesses don’t write a plan and 90% of them will fail during the first 18 months. If you write a business plan, 90% of businesses are still going after the same period. What would you prefer?

6. Be passionate. Your business idea should be something you would happily get out bed in a morning for without being paid. Your passion will come across to customers and everyone you meet and will help you get started.

7. Don’t worry about getting a ‘niche’. Listen, all of us would like to find the perfect idea that no-one else has thought of, but then you’ll need to work hard at telling people what it is because they won’t have heard about it. Competition is good! Your ‘niche’ is all about you – it’s what you’re passionate about that makes you stand out.

8. Forget about other people. Countless new businesses are worried about telling people in case their idea is stolen. But remember 60% of people are sat in businesses right now wanting to start their own business – but, only 3% actually do it. So, even if people think it’s a great idea, chances are they won’t actually set up. Bite the bullet and tell people!

9. Go for it! We’re all a nation of “what ifs” and “it won’t work”. If you’ve done your homework and believe in your idea, go for it! Also, remember that everyone is an expert, even if they’ve never run a business before. Trust your instinct – not theirs.

10. Go on a start-up course (well I would say that wouldn’t I?). But, a start-up course is run by experts who will give you the real answers – not rumours that your friends and family have heard. Our next 3-day start-up course, costing just £99 will be held on the 18th, 19th and 20th February and then every 3rd Monday to Wednesday of each month in Cheltenham.

Top ten tips for network business

2008-03-02T12:24:00.000-08:00

Network business means multi level marketing. It is a another version of marketing. If anyone wants to earn more $$$ from network business, he must follow some rules of business.

The speed networking ones (my favourite type of networking) are usually held over a buffet lunch. You’ll be seated opposite another business person and each of you will have 1-2 minutes to tell each other what you do.

Once your time is up, you’ll move to the next business person and so on. Some speed networking events allow you to meet everyone in the room; others don’t, but all in all they’re great fun.

The evening ones I won’t go into that much detail about these ones, suffice to say they are very similar to the lunchtime networking events, apart from they’re held in the evening.

How to make the most of your networking experience o First, make sure you bring the following items to every networking event you go to:
1) Plenty of business cards (more than you think you’ll need) – the amount of times I’ve been to an event where people have run out of cards. Nothing is more unprofessional than writing your contact details on a slip of paper.
2) A diary – if you have a diary with you and the person you’ve met wants to meet up afterwards, you can arrange a date there and then. It’s far harder (trust me on this) to make the call after the event.
3) A pen – how else are you going to jot down what people do on the back of their cards.

Later on, as you get more experience of networking, it’s well worth getting hold of a plastic name badge holder for yourself. If they don’t provide name badges at the event, put your business card in one of these so that people can easily find out who you are.

1.Try to arrive early at the event and this is especially important if you’re nervous about going. Why? Well, when you arrive, chances are that they’ll be very few other people there. All of them will be hanging around on their own waiting for the event to start. It’s much easier to go up and talk to someone on their own rather than to go up to people in groups. Later on, I’ll give you a few more tips on finding people who are standing on their own too.

2. Make sure (at all costs) you grab a copy of the attendee list. It’s going to be very difficult to follow-up with people after the event if you don’t.

3. Wear your name badge on your right lapel and not your left. Why? Since most people are right handed, when they shake your hand to meet you, their eye will naturally travel to your right lapel, making it far easier to see who you are.

4. If there are two or more of you from the same company, split up at the event. I know it’s hard if you’re nervous and you haven’t been to many events before, but if you split up you can meet twice as many people. Similarly, if it’s a sit-down event, don’t sit at the same table.

5. When you’re talking to other people, you will be asked the question “So, what do you do?” Keep your answers as short as possible. Nothing is worse than hearing another person ramble on and believe me they’ll quickly be making an excuse to get away from you as quickly as possible. Try to get onto natural conversation as soon as possible and find out more about that person instead of talking about your business.

6. Also, when you’re explaining what you do, try to keep to one thing even if you do lots of different activities. If you start explaining that you’re a life coach, do a bit of PR, interviewing skills and are a training company in your spare time, people will not know what you do and will get confused. How can they refer people to you, if they are not sure what you do? You can always give them a different message next time they see you.

7. Act confident, even if you don’t feel it. The more you act confident, the more you’ll be confident. Go up to people on their own – you can find them around the edges of the room or by the buffet table – and have a chat. Or, interrupt groups of two. Stay away from groups of three or four because they’ll be enough people in the group, but nine times out of 10, the group of two will have had enough of chatting to each other anyway and be looking for an excuse to move on and they’ll welcome the relief.

8. What to do with your business cards? Wear a jacket with pockets. Most networking events are a business dress code anyway and ladies if you don’t think you have any pockets in your jacket think again. Most of the time, they’ve been sewn up by the manufacturer and if you look in the pocket, you’ll find a small hole where you can unpick the stitching. Put your business cards in your left hand pocket and any business cards you collect in your right hand pocket. That way, they’ll be easy to find and you won’t get them mixed up.

9. Oh and my excuses for getting away from people when you’ve had enough of talking to them – try “Oh I was just going to grab a drink”; “Do you know where the loos are around here?” or “Oh I must just speak to…”. Don’t be offended if people make these excuses to you. The whole point of networking is that you should be looking to get around as many people as possible.

10. Remember to follow-up afterwards. It’s been said time and time again that very little business happens at the actual event; it’s what you do afterwards that counts, but how many people actually follow-up? Make sure you do and you’re chances of getting business will increase significantly.

All in all though, remember that networking is not about having fun. It’s about getting you known out there and getting business. And if you’re not achieving that objective from networking events, you should be looking at doing different activities to increase your marketing. Set targets at the events for how many people you’d like to meet and how many potential contacts you’d like to get out of the event and try to achieve that at each event you go to. That is the way to make sure networking works for you.

Top 10 marketing resolutions for 2008

2008-03-02T11:44:00.000-08:00

Marketing is a game which has no ground but in reality the whole world is marketing ground. If you want to earn more and more money, you have to have some marketing concept which will help to improve personality.

As you’ve probably got ideas of things you want to achieve in your business in 2008, I thought that some top 10 marketing resolutions would be of benefit, so here goes…

1. Listen. If you’re not committed to doing some marketing and doing marketing constantly in 2008, it’s never going to happen. You need to decide whether you’re going to spend at least half a day a week, each and every week to achieve your goals or not. If so, great…carry on reading the rest of my tips. If not, that’s fine too – give me a call (or using another marketing person) and we’ll do it for you. At least then, it will get done and you won’t have to worry about it.

2. If you are committed to doing some marketing, decide what your goal is for each activity you do. In other words, if you’re attending a networking, decide that you want to meet at least 2 people who are interested in discussing your product or service in more detail after the event. Then measure how well you did against your targets. If you’re meeting or exceeding your targets, carry on with that marketing activity. If not, drop that activity and try something else.

3. Team up with a friend or colleague and have a challenge of who can get the most amount of business by the end of June. Meet on a regular basis to see how you’re getting on and help each other.

4. Make it your priority to keep your eyes open for new marketing opportunities. Opportunities are all around us and sometimes we just need to pay attention. For instance, just before Christmas, the local radio station ran an auction allowing you to donate an item and receive 1 hour’s free publicity on the radio during the day. Try to find 1 new marketing opportunity a month and get involved with it.

5. Your current customer database is the easiest place to go if you want quick marketing hits. Why not call or email all your past contacts to see how things are going for them. You never know what might turn up.

6. Look back at where you got your previous customers from to see what marketing activities have worked for you in the past. Be specific – if the customer came from a referral, who sent it over to you? If they came from a networking event – which one? Once you know which marketing activities are working, go and do them again.

7. 2008 should be the year of building relationships. If you want your contacts to send you referrals or the press to publish your stories, don’t expect to meet with that person once and have done with it. You wouldn’t refer to someone you didn’t know, so you can’t expect them to. Think of ways to build your relationships with people i.e. swapping website links; doing some marketing together; referring someone over to them – if you do something for them, you’re likely to get it back ten-fold.

8. Have a strategy to follow-up with each and every single person you come into contact with. You don’t know how interested they are in your product or service until you ask them. Having an effective follow-up strategy improved my marketing significantly and it can do the same for you if you spend some time putting one in place.

9. Why not come up with one new marketing activity per week? Get a bit creative and have some fun with it. The inspiration of two heads is often better than one, so get together with contacts you know and see how many different activities you can come up with.

10. If you achieve your targets, make sure that you reward yourself. Too often, small business owners are excellent at celebrating failure – why not turn it around and write down 10 things that have gone right each day. It can really help keep you motivated.I hope you’ve found these ideas useful. Here’s to a prosperous 2008

Top ten marketing tips

2008-03-02T11:32:00.000-08:00

Marketing is summation of some techniques. It is a practical game in our life. So everyone needs to know some marketing knowledge if he wants success in life. Anyone can succeed in marketing sector if he is confident himself and practise day by day in consistent way.

1. Become a student of your business. Study your customer, competitors and the industry trends. Make it one of your goals to become an ‘expert’ in your business, so much so that you know how your customers think. The more you know, the easier you will find it to get customers and give them compelling messages that convince them to buy your product or service.

2. Sit down with a friend or business contact and get them to put themselves in your customer’s shoes. Try to come up with ten new ways to market and promote your business. It’s really difficult to come up with these ideas yourself as sometimes you can get too close to your business, but someone else can often give you fresh ideas.

3. Remember that not everything you do to market your business will get you clients. Some things you do will be better for building your reputation or getting awareness of your business (PR for instance is very good at getting people to recognise your business is out there) than getting you clients. You need to have a good mixture of marketing activities designed to build your reputation, get awareness of your business and actually get your customers in order to market your business. Check out my 50 ideas for promoting your business by clicking www.exceptionalthinking.co.uk

4. If you hate a particular aspect of marketing your business, don’t do it! For instance, if you hate cold calling, why push yourself to do it? There are loads of methods that you might like doing more AND don’t cost a great deal to do. Click www.exceptionalthinking.co.uk to get my 50 ideas for promoting your business.

5. Do marketing!! Most small business owners don’t like marketing. It’s another activity that eats into their time. And on top of that, it’s not much fun. Ideally though, you should be spending 2 half days a week on marketing (at the very least), so choose something from my list of 50 ideas and do it!!

6. Decide what is a marketing activity for you – marketing for me is any activity where I spend time getting new or looking after existing customers (bar working on their projects). So, marketing could be emailing 5 customers a week to see how they’re getting on; writing a proposal; going to a networking event; seeing a potential new customer etc. Why is defining what marketing is important? Well, once you start doing this, you will realise that you are doing some marketing…then it becomes easier to do more.

7. Stretch your comfort zone – write down what activities you’re comfortable with and also write down which ones you’re not comfortable with. Then choose one activity you don’t really like doing every month and get on with it!!

8. Most of us are very good at following up if we need to. For example, if I said to you “Here is a potential customer” you would probably contact them. But, how many of us follow up without a real reason? Try this exercise – next time you go to a networking event, get the list of attendees (usually available when you sign in) and then contact all those you haven’t met by email asking if they would mind spending 15 minutes on the phone with you so you can find out a bit more about each other. This is excellent for building relationships and may even get you clients too!!

9. Remember marketing is like riding a bike. Most people start off by peddling really hard (doing lots of marketing) and when they get busy and don’t market their business, they can coast for a while. But, if they don’t start to market their business again soon, their bike will stop and believe me, it’s hard work to start peddling again. So, you need to keep marketing all the time.

10. We’ve created a new e-course called “Survive your first year in business”, where you’ll receive a workbook every month direct to your PC that helps you address issues such as getting more customers, keeping motivated, managing your finances and making the most of your time. As well as this, you’ll receive 12 months of unlimited e-mail support and coaching whenever you need it, all for just £25+VAT per month.

Top 10 tech related news of the past 10 years

2008-02-21T12:38:00.000-08:00

This top ten tech related news is originated from cnet.com. This list reflects the last five years IT trends in this industry.
1.
1995: The IPO that started it all
More than any other stock, Netscape Communications' initial public offering defined the arrival of the Internet as an economic force. With just $16 million in revenues at the time it went public in August 1995, the seminal Web browser company was valued at more than $2 billion. More important than any specific numbers, Netscape's "moonshot" IPO created the frenzy of day trading and venture capitalist investments that would become a hallmark of the dot-com era.
2.
1996: Free speech on the Internet
The Supreme Court's rejection of the Communications Decency Act, a much-disputed provision of the historic Telecommunications Act of 1996, defined the Internet as we know it today. Until that ruling, no one knew if the medium would be a limitless, unfiltered universe or a government-regulated entity like television and radio.
3.
1997: Steve Jobs and the rebirth of Apple
In dramatic fashion, Apple Computer was saved from the brink of death by the return of its charismatic and controversial cofounder. Despite repeated early denials that he would return to the role of CEO, Steve Jobs went on to do just that and eventually returned the company to its former glory. Although the deal that brought him back took place in the final days of the previous year, Jobs would reshape Apple throughout 1997 and the next decade.
4.
1998: The people vs. Microsoft
In one of the most significant antitrust actions of the century, attorneys general from 20 states and the District of Columbia joined the Justice Department in federal lawsuits against the world's most powerful software company. The case, which would go on for the next several years, was a pivotal juncture for the technology industry, the legal community, the stock market, and just about anyone who used a personal computer or the Internet.
5.
1999: Y2K and the cost of fear
The doomsday scenarios were rampant: Computer systems everywhere would fail to recognize 2000 because the vast majority of programs recognized only the last two digits of a given year. But it all turned out to be much ado about relatively little--prompting skeptics to wonder whether the barrage of "millennium bug" warnings were convenient excuses for poor earnings or sales pitches for so-called corrective software that no one really needed.
6.
2000: A phenomenon called Napster
What began as an obscure file-sharing program quickly grew into a global network used to trade digital music for free. Within the music industry, however, it became as notorious as it was popular with its followers and eventually was the target of multiple lawsuits charging copyright violation on an unprecedented scale. Although only a shadow of its former self, Napster's influence continues to pervade much of the Internet today.
7.
2001: Death of the New Economy
The carnage from the dot-com meltdown was far worse than anyone had imagined. Summing it up best was this News.com report on the ensuing blame game, whose participants were described as "day traders who gambled on obscure companies, midlevel engineers who cashed in stock options and retired at 29, Wall Street analysts who preached 'eyeballs,' 'stickiness,' and 'price-to-sales ratios,' forecasting companies that predicted exponential growth, and business publications that canonized the rich and gave others hope of striking similar fortunes."
8.
2002: Adware, spyware, and PC invasions
It began as a seemingly innocuous marketing tool, but spyware soon became one of the most pernicious problems the Internet has ever faced. Whether through pop-ups, privacy invasion, or drained computer power, practically anyone who has used the Internet has been victimized by this trend. The issue, which continues in full force today, has been increasingly scrutinized by the courts and legislators.
9.
2003: The wireless revolution
Many of us take it for granted now, but wireless computer networks were virtually nonexistent to the public at large only a few years ago. At work or at home, the technology has seen one of the fastest adoption rates in recent memory. With its growth, however, have come rising concerns about security that persist today.
10.
2004: Offshoring: A political firestorm
Long before it became the center of international controversy, the practice of offshore outsourcing could be traced to the technology sector. As a result, many looked to Silicon Valley as the topic rose to political prominence in last year's presidential election, during which both George Bush and John Kerry included the trend in their platforms. But beyond the immediate labor issues, the technology industry has been more concerned with the competitive and security risks in offshoring intellectual property.

Top 10 paranormal fiction books

2008-02-21T12:16:00.000-08:00

Here is the complete top ten list of paranormal fiction books . I think you will agree for me in this book list.

1. The Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris. Her latest "Grave" book was actually pretty good too. I didn't care for the first one, but this one introduced a hint of romance (slightly incestuous, but so what) that I liked.

2. Sunshine by Robin McKinley. I will be among those mobbing her if she doesn't write a sequel. Not enough sex or romance, but the hint was pretty tantalizing. And that aside it was just quite a jolly good book.

3. Lori Handeland writes a series about werewolves - there are several of them and I think she's going off in a new direction with her next book.

4. Patricia Briggs is good. I've been enjoying her Mercedes Thompson series and look forward to the next one. This series is about a shifter, werewolves, vampires, fairies...

5. Kay Hooper her series is about psychics.

6. Victoria Laurie. She writes two series - one is an intuitive investigator and the other is a ghostbuster. Both are winners in my book!

7. Keri Arthur. Highly-sexed werewolves.

8. Karen Chance. A three book series about Cassandra Palmer, a clairvoyant who was raised by vampires and is now queen of the seers.

9. Kelley Armstrong. Werewolves, etc.

10. Kim Harrison - witches, vamps, etc.

Top 10 tips for blogging

2008-02-07T12:20:00.000-08:00

If you want to successful blogger, you have to follow these tips. I think you will be more benefited after learning this tips. Your focus will be better and better performance in blogging. Your earning will also increase day by day to follow these master tips of blogging.

1) Stay on topic
Opinions are generally accepted but the content of the items in the blog should all relate to a general theme. Unless you have an uncanny knack for wit, humor or cynicism, the majority of your readers will be interested in the content that relates to a specific defined theme or loosely defined area of interest. Most readers won't care that you eat Cheerios for breakfast. They may, however, be interested in the fact that vinegar takes out stains and that toilet paper rolls make great wreaths. Define a topic and stick to it. This will ensure that you create a loyal following of interested readers.

2) Be informative
If you are attempting to create the impression that you are knowledgeable about a specific industry or sector, be sure that you stay current on news. If you are endorsing a product or voicing an opinion, be sure to check your facts; your reputation is at stake. If you are offering an opinion, be sure to qualify your post, making it clear that the content is intended as an editorial.

3) Old news is not news
While blogging every day can be a drain, it is important that the information presented is current and accurate, writing an article or blurb about something that happened 6 months ago, will not be of interest to many. Telling your audience that Martha Stewart was convicted and will be going to prison, after her sentence is completed will make people question the value of your columns.
4) Adhere to a schedule
Create a schedule and stick to it. Realizing that blogging requires time and effort, don't create unrealistic expectations and be unable to deliver. An occasional lapse or holiday is generally understood but readers returning to find stale, out-dated content are going to find another blog with similar content. New blogs and RSS feeds are popping up on a daily basis. If you have worked hard to develop an audience and a community you don't want to lose them due to lack of communication.

5) Clarity and simplicity
Keep your posts and blog entries clear and easy to understand. Remember, the web is global and expressions, idioms and acronyms don't always translate. Sometimes a little explanation goes a long way.

6) Keyword-rich
If the goal of your blog is to increase your visibility, include related keywords in the title of the blog. Use the title as a headline to attract interest. Each item post should have a title that will attract attention but still be relevant to the post. The title should be no longer than 10-12 words.
7) Quantity matters
In order to attract the attention of search engines, you will need to develop content and substance. A headline or simple sentence is not going to generate the interest of readers or help with search engine ranking. Be sure to archive old blog posts to develop a large portal of similarly-themed content.

8) Frequency
If your blog content is updated frequently, search engines will tend to spider the pages at regular intervals.

9) Spell checking and proof-reading
It only takes a few extra moments and can save you from having to make embarrassing explanations. Remember that whatever you publish on the Internet can be found and archived. Think carefully about what you post before doing so.

10) RSS
RSS will increase your blog's reach. It is important that you include your blog's content in an RSS feed to increase readership and distribution.
Most weblog audiences are small, but with time and regular updates audiences grow. Bloggers may never have more than a few hundred readers, but the people who return to regularly are generally interested in what you have to say.

Top 10 Qualities of Barack Obama

2008-02-07T11:59:00.001-08:00

I really choose the person like Barack Obama. He is a great person of his country. The people of America should realize this truth that he will become the national hero after elected the US president election 2008. One of his followers find this top 10 qualities for his personality.

1. Style and Integrity
Barack Obama presents a view of governing that is inclusive and relies on Americans to work with their government. Throughout his speeches and debates, Obama is the one candidate that consistently, naturally, talks in terms of we. His rallying cry is "Yes We Can!"
Barack is also a good role model, personifying the concept of a servant leader — someone that lets us hide the cynic inside, that inner cynic that has been created in all of us by years of listening to politicians and their lies — despite years of disappointment, you just know that Obama is really a good guy, that he is going to serve America honorably during the many trials and tribulations that are surely in store for us in the next four years.

2. Timing
It feels like the right time for America to elect Barack Obama as our president. Andrew Sullivan in the Atlantic considers an Obama presidency transformational:
At its best, the Obama candidacy is about ending a war — not so much the war in Iraq, which now has a momentum that will propel the occupation into the next decade, but the war within America that has prevailed since Vietnam and that shows dangerous signs of intensifying, a nonviolent civil war that has crippled America at the very time the world needs it most. It is a war about war — and about culture and about religion and about race. And in that war, Obama — and Obama alone — offers the possibility of a truce.

3. Religious Stance
Barack Obama's religion (or lack thereof) is appealing, knowing that we won't have an atheist in the White House anytime soon. He's the kind of religious that I can tolerate, which is spiritual without being evangelizing or judgmental.
Obama is cagey, in a lawyerly way, about the supernatural claims of religion. Recounting a conversation about death that he had with one of his two young daughters, he wrote, "I wondered whether I should have told her the truth, that I wasn't sure what happens when we die, any more than I was sure of where the soul resides or what existed before the big bang." So I think we can take it that he doesn't believe - or doesn't exactly believe - in the afterlife or the creation.
His conversion to Wright's brand of Christianity was "a choice and not an epiphany", born of his admiration for "communities of faith" and the shape and purpose they give to the lives of their congregants. "Americans want a narrative arc to their lives. They are looking to relieve a chronic loneliness"; "They are not just destined to travel down that long highway towards nothingness". As for himself, and his enlistment at Trinity United: "Without a vessel for my beliefs, without a commitment to a particular community of faith, at some level I would always remain apart, and alone." It's typical of Obama that such a cautiously footnoted profession of faith rings sympathetically to both atheists and true believers.

4. Political Talent and Ability (and yes, Experience)
This article by Charles Peters in the Washington Times sums it up pretty nicely:
Consider a bill into which Obama clearly put his heart and soul. The problem he wanted to address was that too many confessions, rather than being voluntary, were coerced — by beating the daylights out of the accused.
Obama proposed requiring that interrogations and confessions be videotaped.
This seemed likely to stop the beatings, but the bill itself aroused immediate opposition. There were Republicans who were automatically tough on crime and Democrats who feared being thought soft on crime. There were death penalty abolitionists, some of whom worried that Obama's bill, by preventing the execution of innocents, would deprive them of their best argument. Vigorous opposition came from the police, too many of whom had become accustomed to using muscle to "solve" crimes. And the incoming governor, Rod Blagojevich, announced that he was against it.
Obama had his work cut out for him.
He responded with an all-out campaign of cajolery. It had not been easy for a Harvard man to become a regular guy to his colleagues. Obama had managed to do so by playing basketball and poker with them and, most of all, by listening to their concerns. Even Republicans came to respect him. One Republican state senator, Kirk Dillard, has said that "Barack had a way both intellectually and in demeanor that defused skeptics."
The police proved to be Obamas toughest opponent. Legislators tend to quail when cops say things like, "This means we won't be able to protect your children." The police tried to limit the videotaping to confessions, but Obama, knowing that the beatings were most likely to occur during questioning, fought -- successfully -- to keep interrogations included in the required videotaping.
By showing officers that he shared many of their concerns, even going so far as to help pass other legislation they wanted, he was able to quiet the fears of many.
Obama proved persuasive enough that the bill passed both houses of the legislature, the Senate by an incredible 35 to 0. Then he talked Blagojevich into signing the bill, making Illinois the first state to require such videotaping.
Obama didn't stop there. He played a major role in passing many other bills, including the state's first earned-income tax credit to help the working poor and the first ethics and campaign finance law in 25 years (a law a Post story said made Illinois "one of the best in the nation on campaign finance disclosure"). Obama's commitment to ethics continued in the U.S. Senate, where he co-authored the new lobbying reform law that, among its hard-to-sell provisions, requires lawmakers to disclose the names of lobbyists who "bundle" contributions for them.
Taken together, these accomplishments demonstrate that Obama has what Dillard, the Republican state senator, calls a "unique" ability "to deal with extremely complex issues, to reach across the aisle and to deal with diverse people." In other words, Obama's campaign claim that he can persuade us to rise above what divides us is not just rhetoric.

5. Talent to Inspire
If you've seen Barack Obama speak and have been moved to tears the way that I have, and that so many others have as well, then this moment in the N.H. Dem debate rang true loud and clear:
“Words are not action and as beautifully presented and as passionately felt as they are, they are not action,” Mrs. Clinton said. “What we’ve got to do is translate talk into action, and feeling into reality; I have a long record of doing that.”
But Mr. Obama came back at her.
“The truth is, actually, words do inspire,” Mr. Obama said. “Words do help people get involved.”
Despite how busy we are, today my friends and I at Hashrocket will spend at least an hour, probably more, making phone calls to fellow Americans, encouraging them to go out and exercise their freedom to vote — freedom to help choose the leadership of this great country of ours, and infuse life into our democracy. I really wonder if there will be any other politician in my lifetime that will inspire us so strongly. I wonder if this is how our parents felt about JFK.

6. Not a Clinton
In trying to keep things positive, the only negative thing I'm going to say about Hillary Clinton is that she represents the past. Now is not the time to go back to the past and alienate this new generation of voters and citizens feeling empowered by democracy for the first time in our lives. Please Hillary, get out of the way of the future. I know it's a tough pill to swallow, but please, live up to your rhetoric and put the good of the nation ahead of your own quest for power.
Clintons: You are not change agents, you are royalty of the status quo, standing before us in despicable ugliness of corruption, starting with your chief campaign advisor Mark Penn.

7. Bi-Partisanship
I've voted Republican in the past, although lately that party is so repugnant that I can't even consider having anything to do with them. Despite that, I do think that cooperation with the other side will yield better results for the country, because it will be on Democratic terms. Obama's talking about allowing moderate republicans to join him at the table, but the table is going to implement Obama's plans not the GOP's.
Obama coming out early and strong to say "I'm not going to take that 'my way or the highway' attitude" speaks great volumes about the content of his character. It's not a weakness. Saying with confidence "If I have power, I will not abuse it" is a true testament of strength.
"I think the American people are hungry for something different and can be mobilized around big changes, not incremental changes, not small changes," Obama said Saturday night. "I think that there are a whole host of Republicans, and certainly independents, who have lost trust in their government, who don't believe anybody is listening to them, who are staggering under rising costs of health care, college education, don't believe what politicians say. And we can draw those independents and some Republicans into a working coalition, a working majority for change." Quoted in the Washington Times.

8. Understanding and Views About Technology
As a technologist, Obama's views on technology and how it can improve all of our lives is of a lot of importance to me:
Let us be the generation that reshapes our economy to compete in the digital age. Let's set high standards for our schools and give them the resources they need to succeed. Let's recruit a new army of teachers, and give them better pay and more support in exchange for more accountability. Let's make college more affordable, and let's invest in scientific research, and let's lay down broadband lines through the heart of inner cities and rural towns all across America.
Of particular interest is Obama's goals towards opening up government via the internet to achieve greater transparency and spur citizen participation. The Bush Administration has been one of the most secretive, closed administrations in American history. If we're going to keep any semblance of freedom going forward, strong medicine is needed.
Among other things, Barack Obama has promised to appoint the nation’s first Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to ensure that our government and all its agencies have the right infrastructure, policies and services for the 21st century. The CTO will ensure the safety of our networks and will lead an interagency effort, working with chief technology and chief information officers of each of the federal agencies, to ensure that they use best-in-class technologies and share best practices.

9. A Strong, Black Role Model
As an American of hispanic origin, I understand some of the problems inherent in being a minority in this country. I won't say that I've experience overt racism, not anytime recently anyway — elementary school was a different story — but I know that there are additional obstacles for people of color to get ahead.
There's also the matter of Barack Obama as the ultimate positive role model for young blacks. I moved out of my urban neighborhood in Atlanta in no small part due to being robbed and assaulted at gunpoint by four young black men, right in front of my residence, in the middle of the afternoon on an otherwise pleasant day in November. Desi still carries a scar on her face from being pistol-whipped by one of them, and my poor sister, who had the bad luck of being out to lunch with us that day, suffered a miscarriage shortly thereafter.
Everytime I see a thug, or wannabe gangsta, with his pants hanging down under his ass, and talking shit about "popping a cap in someone", that's when I hope and wish hardest for someone, anyone, to rise up and give young blacks a completely different, more positive sort of inspiration. Call me idealistic, call me an idiot for saying it in public, but I think Barack Obama could really make a difference in that regard.

10. Intelligence
Finally, we can't take it for granted anymore that our political leaders are actually intelligent. George 'Dubya' Bush, our first monkey president, established that new reality, for now and for the ages. Barack Obama, in stark contrast, is an actual scholar and extremely intelligent man. He can think and verbalize those thoughts on the fly, in a coherent fashion — yet not resort to highly-polished, well-pollling sound bites.

I think you will find some new information about him. Take a serious look at him and make him US president.

Top 10 Reasons to Put RSS on Your blog

2008-02-02T13:06:00.000-08:00

This is an important issue for a blog that RSS is necessary or not. I think this post will inform you why RSS is so essential for your site. Please learn and realize the truth.
RSS and Blogs are the topics of the moment. Seems like everyone is talking about it. Granted, there is too much hype about RSS and Blogs.

If you need convincing - here are top 10 reasons why you should put RSS on your site:

1. It's easy and fast! Not to mention Free! You can use a free service like eBlogger and publish your Blog and RSS feed within minutes. You can even place or publish your Blog/RSS Feed on your own site without knowing 'html' or 'xml'. It's all done for you!

Repeat - it's simple to use and very convenient. Publishing your blog is only a few clicks away. (If you need help - just use the link at the end of this article.)

2. Syndicate Your Content. RSS stands for 'really simple syndication' and it's just another way of passing along your information. With the popularity of 'MyYahoo' and the 'Firefox'
browser (which has a built-in RSS feed reader) increasing - syndicating your content has gotten even simpler.

The next version of Windows is reportly scheduled to have an RSS feature. If this happens - RSS will explode.

3. Get Your Content Indexed. Using blogs to publish your content is a neat way of side stepping the regular indexing procedure. It gets your content indexed very quickly in most of the search engines.

Search Engines are constantly on the lookout for 'fresh content' - these 'link rich' blogs are a good source of his content. Because blogs are on specific topics - they have a concentrated source of good quality informational material to serve out!

4. Instant Contact. Blogs give you instant contact with your readers or viewers. We live in an 'instant' society - we want everything five minutes ago. Blogs provide this instant gratification. Readers or viewers using MyYahoo have an instant link to your information or postings.

RSS Feeds will instantly spread your information to all interested parties - bringing in targeted traffic.

5. Building Your List. People who pick up your RSS feed or add you to their MyYahoo site - become your subscribers. You are really building your contact list. Have a popular
blog or RSS Feed and you can build a large targeted contact list very quickly.

Might not replace your old opt-in email list - but it can be a lucrative addition to it! Take advantage of all those targeted contacts.

6. Link Building. Blogs are link heavens! Build your links thru blogs. All these links will boost your link popularity and increase your search engine rankings.

Plus, by giving viewers/readers a way of adding your RSS Feed creates targeted links to your site. This reason alone is why your site should have RSS!

7. Viewer/Subscriber Feedback. Instant feedback from your subscribers or viewers is easy with blogs. Creating trust and credibility is so much easier when there is immediate communication between the two parties.

8. Keyword Content Building. Blogs are especially good for building 'keyword targeted content' for your site. All these links will boost your keyword rankings in the search engines. Google places a high value on 'anchor text' and blogs are a good place to put all those links.

You can also start different blogs targeted at specific related keywords covering the major topics of your site. Again, search engines love related keyword linking so you can boost your site's rankings by using blogs.

9. Monetize Your Content. Blogs are an excellent way of monetizing your content. Blog sites like Eblogger (owned by Google) even encourages you to use the 'adsense code' in your blogs. If you have a popular blog - this may bring in extra income.

Plus, publishing your ezine or newsletter in a blog can bring in revenue for months if not years to come. All those affiliate links and product promotions get indexed by the search engines and become accessible to a wider audience, i.e. market.

10. Because Everyone Else is Doing It! Might sound a bit 'Jonesish' but you do have to keep up with whatother web sites are doing. To remain competitive - you must put RSS on your site.

Sites without the 'AddtoMyYahoo' link or the 'xml' button will be the exception rather than the rule in just a few years - if not months. It's simply another way of getting your information 'out there'. It's an opportunity and advantage that you cannot afford to miss.

Top 10 Steps To Top Rankings In Google

2008-02-02T12:40:00.000-08:00

Google is the most powerful search engine company in the internet. If you want to get huge visitors from search engine, you will follow some tips. I think this post will help you to understand about Google and its top rankings for websites.

How To Proceed?

First, you must know the rudimentary basics of how keywords work. Keywords and keyword phrases are the exact words someone types into a search engine to find what they're looking for online. If you have a site on "dog training" then your goal is to get a top 10 ranking for the keywords "dog training".

Now if no one searches for "dog training" it would be a useless keyword, you would get no traffic no matter how perfectly your site is optimized for that keyword.

How Do You Know If A Keyword Is Good?

To find out, you have to do some keyword research on your particular keywords. Many professional online marketers use keyword research software like Brad Callen's Keyword Elite. However, you can also use the keyword suggestion tools supplied by Google Adwords or Overture. Try here: http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/

Now if you check "dog training", you will find it receives around 4,469 searches each day. That's a lot of traffic but you must realize that it may be too good, or rather too competitive for your purposes, especially if have a new site.

Biggest Mistake When Choosing Keywords

The most common mistake most novice webmasters make is targeting keywords which are too competitive. You simply will not be able to compete or place for extremely competitive keywords. Well established sites and businesses with very deep pockets have the resources to completely dominate those keywords. While it is not entirely futile nor a waste of time to concentrate your efforts on highly competitive keywords, you will have better success if you target low to medium competitive keywords.

Long Tail Keyword Marketing

Besides online marketers have discovered that longer keyword phrases are usually the most lucrative. These phrases deliver traffic which is better targeted and more likely to convert into a sale. "Dog hunting training" which gets around 100 searches a day will be more targeted than the general term "dog training" and if you have a site devoted to training hunting dogs then this keyword phrase may convert better for you.

Always keep this "Long Tail" keyword strategy in the back of your mind as you implement the following steps to achieve your own Top 10 Rankings in Google.

1. Make A Master Keyword List

Your first step is to make a master list of the keywords you wish to target. Obviously these should be closely related to the theme of your site. As you can see from the example above, it is best to choose low to medium competitive keywords. Check the keyword competition by seeing how many sites are listed in Google for that keyword. Webmasters also check the Google PageRank of the sites that hold the top 10 positions. If all those sites are PR6 and above it may be hard to get ranked high for your keywords.

2. Choose Related Keywords

Once you have your master list of keywords, find long tail related keywords to target. Again, check out the competition and daily searches made for each chosen keyword.

3. Use Quality Content For Your Keywords

Creating quality content should always be your main goal. Write for actual visitors who will see and read your content. First and foremost you must have good useful content that your visitors will use themselves and recommend to their friends or colleagues. Tie this quality content in with your chosen keywords. Use one keyword phrase per page.

4. Use Keyword In Domain Name, Title And URLs

Having your keyword in your domain name will score big points from search engines. Plus, each page of content should contain your keywords in the title & meta tags for that page. Most experts also suggest you have your keyword in the URL and use hyphens to separate your keywords. Although the author has gotten good results by using an underscore and htm in URLs. Example: www.yoursite.com/your_keyword.htm

5. Do On Page Optimization

Keyword ratio is a much discussed topic by SEO experts and many suggest you should have your keyword in the H1 or headline title of your page. Sprinkle your keyword and variations of it throughout your page. Don't over do it but make sure the robot/spiders will clearly discover what your page is about. Many webmasters make sure they include their main keyword in the first and last 25 words on their pages.

6. Use Traffic Modules

One technique that works extremely well in Google is clustering a closely related topic or subject into a distinct separate section on your site. For example, if you have a marketing site, you could create a whole section on article marketing where you would have 50 to 100 keyworded pages all relating to your subject.

Writing articles, formatting articles, submitting articles, article software... place a keyword linked menu on each page to connect all your pages together. Keep in mind, your main objective is to supply quality information to your visitors. One reason Google may favor this type of structure is because they want quality content returned in their SERPs.

7. Try Article Marketing

Article marketing is writing short informative articles on keyword topics related to your sites. You then submit these helpful keyworded articles to ezine directories on the web, when your articles are picked up by related sites you receive quality One-Way links. The higher the quality of your article, the more links you will receive.

Another ranking tactic to use, if you're just starting out your site will probably have a low PR rank and you will find it hard to rank for even modest keywords. That's why it's useful to take advantage of the higher PageRank of the major ezine directories. Your keyworded articles on these high PR sites will get picked up by Google and displayed in the top 10 rankings. Now the displayed URL will be the article directory site but the links in the resource box will be pointing back to your site. Over time this article marketing technique will raise your own site's rankings for those keywords. Simple but effective.

8. Anchor Text And One Way Links

Off page optimization is important in obtaining high rankings in Google. Getting quality One-Way links is very important. Anchor Text simply refers to "the underlined clicked on words" in your links. Most webmasters include their keywords in their anchor text as this tells the search engines exactly what the links are about.

9. Tags, Blogging And Web 2.0

Take advantage of Web 2.0 by using blogs, RSS feeds and the social bookmarking sites like Reddit and Digg. Try AddThis.com for a simple social bookmarking system. At the very least your site should have a blog and RSS feed attached to it as this is an effective way of boosting your keyword rankings.

Tags have become very important for getting higher rankings. Keep in mind, in free blogging software such as WordPress, categories will automatically be seen as tags. Blogger, which is owned by Google, now has a form where you put your keywords (tags) for each post you make.

10. PPC vs Organic Search

Of course, one of the fastest ways to get your links displayed on Google is to pay for them by using Google Adwords. Your ad and links will sit side by side with the organic link results. In Pay Per Click advertising you bid or pay so much per click for your keywords and you only pay when someone clicks your links. But smart marketers also know since you're getting millions of impressions advertising your products, acquiring name recognition and branding through PPC advertising can be a major side-benefit.

However, most webmasters would say that organic links (SERPS) will return better traffic than paid links or advertising. In most cases, this may be true because Google's organic rankings are becoming more respected and more trusted by users. They simply carry more weight with surfers.

This makes it even more beneficial to obtain top 10 rankings for your keywords in Google. Depending on the competitiveness of your chosen keywords reaching the first page listing or even the favored number one spot is well within any webmaster's reach. Just go for it. The rewards are well worth your efforts.

Google:Top 10 Tips to the top

2008-02-02T12:09:00.000-08:00

Google is the leading search engine company in the web industry. You should know its features and its uses to perform better in internet.
Having a Web site that gets found in Google isn't hard to do, but it can be difficult to know where to begin. Here are ten tips to get you started.

1. Start out slowly
If possible, begin with a new site that has never been submitted to the search engines or directories. Choose an appropriate domain name, and start out by optimizing just the home page.

2. Learn basic HTML
Many search engine optimization techniques involve editing the behind the scenes HTML code. Your high rankings can depend on knowing which codes are necessary, and which aren't.

3. Choose keywords wisely
The keywords you think might be perfect for your site may not be what people are actually searching for. To find the optimal keywords for your site, use tools such as WordTracker. Choose two or three highly targeted phrases for each page of your site. Never shoot for general keywords such as "travel" or "vacation."

4. Write at least 200 - 250 words of visible text copy based on your chosen keywords. This is a crucial component to high rankings and a successful Web site. The search engines need to "read" keyword rich copy on your pages so they can successfully classify your site. Use each keyword phrase numerous times within your copy for best results.

5. Create a killer Title tag
HTML title tags are critical because they're given a lot of weight with all of the search engines. You must put your keywords into this tag and not waste space with extra words. Do not use the Title tag to display your company name or to say "Home Page." Think of it more as a "Title Keyword Tag" and create it accordingly. Add your company name to the end of this tag, if you must use it.

6. Create Meaty Meta tags
Meta tags can be valuable, but they are not a magic bullet. Create a Meta Description tag that uses your keywords and also describes your site. The information in this tag often appears under your Title in the search engine results pages.
The Meta Keyword tag isn't quite as important as the Meta Description tag. Contrary to popular belief, what you place in the keyword tag will have very little bearing on what keywords your site is actually found under, and it's not given any consideration whatsoever by Google. Use this tag, but do not obsess over.

7. Use extra "goodies" to boost rankings
Things like headlines, image alt tags, header tags , etc.), links from other pages, keywords in file names, and keywords in hyperlinks can cumulatively boost search engine rankings. Use any or all of these where they make sense for your site.

8. Be careful when submitting to directories such as Yahoo and the Open Directory Project (DMOZ). Having directory listings are a key component to getting your site spidered and listed by Google. Making mistakes in the submission process could cost you dearly as directory listings are difficult to change later in the game. Therefore, it's important to read Yahoo's How to Suggest Your Site and How to add a site to the Open Directory before submitting.

9. Don't expect quick results
Getting high rankings takes time; there's no getting around that fact. Once your site is added to a search engine or directory, its ranking may start out low and then slowly work its way up the ladder. Some search engines measure "click-through popularity," i.e., the more people that click on a particular site, the higher its ranking will go. Be patient and give your site time to mature.

10. Don't constantly "tweak" your site for better results
It's best not to make changes to your optimization for at least three-to-six months after submission. It often takes the engines at least that long to add your optimized pages to their databases. Submit it, and then forget about it for a while!

If you've followed these tips and still can't find your site in the engines, the first place to "tweak" would be your page copy. If you added less than 250 words of visible text on your pages, this is probably your culprit. Also, double check your keyword density, and make sure that you only targeted two or three phrases per page. Eventually, you'll see the fruits of your labor with many top ten rankings in Google and the rest of the search engines!

Yahoo & Microsoft: News Headline Today

2008-02-01T13:11:00.000-08:00

Yahoo and Microsoft are two giant company in the world. They capture a huge part of IT industry. Today the news headline from different sources found that Microsoft has offered to buy the Yahoo for $44.6 Billion in cash and shares.When I find this news, I didn't believe. But in Digg.com published this news mentioning differnet websites. At last I find this news from BBC and CNN.

BBC Says-

Microsoft wants to purchase Yahoo

Microsoft and Yahoo are both struggling to compete with GoogleMicrosoft has offered to buy the search engine company Yahoo for $44.6bn (£22.4bn) in cash and shares.
The offer, contained in a letter to Yahoo's board, is 62% above Yahoo's closing share price on Thursday.
Yahoo cut its revenue forecasts earlier this week and said it would have to spend an additional $300m this year trying to revive the company.
It has been struggling in recent years to compete with Google, which has also been a competitor to Microsoft.

See graph of Yahoo and Microsoft shares

In a conference call, Microsoft's Kevin Johnson said that the combination of the two companies would create an entity that could better compete with Google.
It is a shotgun marriage, but the person holding the shotgun is Google
Tim Weber, business editor, BBC News website

What's at stake, who will win?
"Today the market [for online search and advertising] is increasingly dominated by one player," he said.
Chairman quit
Yahoo confirmed that it has received an unsolicited offer and said that its board would evaluate the proposal, "carefully and promptly in the context of Yahoo's strategic plans and pursue the best course of action to maximize long-term value for shareholders."
If Yahoo accepted the offer, competition authorities both in the US and the European Union would be likely to investigate the tie-up.
Yahoo chief executive, Jerry Yang, announced on Tuesday that he intended to lay off 1,000 staff as part of a restructuring plan.
Terry Semel, who stepped down as chief executive last June, also quit as non-executive chairman on Thursday.
Microsoft said that Yahoo shareholders could choose to receive either cash or shares.

YAHOO'S FALLING PROFITS

Oct to Dec 2007 down 23%
July to Sept 2007 down 5%
April to June 2007 down 2%
Jan to March 2007 down 11%

Yahoo share price
Microsoft share price
Google share price

Yahoo shares have fallen 46% since reaching a year-high of $34.08 in October. They opened 51.2% higher.
Microsoft opened 4.3% lower while Google shares fell 6.8%.
"Ultimately this corporate marriage was forced by the rise of Google, which has grown into a serious competitor for both Microsoft as a software company and Yahoo as an internet portal," said Tim Weber, business editor of the BBC News website.
"It is a shotgun marriage, but the person holding the shotgun is Google."
'Exorbitant premium'
According to its letter to Yahoo, Microsoft attempted to enter talks about a deal a year ago, but was rebuffed because Yahoo was confident about the "potential upside" presented by the reorganisation and operational activities that were being put in place at the time.

"A year has gone by, and the competitive situation has not improved," Microsoft's letter said.
But there has been some concern about the price that Microsoft is offering.

CNN- News

Microsoft was making a $44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo was greeted with skepticism by many CNN.com users on Friday.

Microsoft is offering to buy struggling Internet search pioneer Yahoo.

The word "monopoly" came up repeatedly in e-mails from people concerned that Microsoft would stifle competition in the Internet search field.
Other readers said that Microsoft and Yahoo were a perfect fit and the deal would be good for consumers.
Shaun Carney said the deal would even help arch-rival Google.
"I think the increased competition this merger brings will force Google to stay on top of its game by offering more innovative Internet tools and expanding on the tools it already offers," he said.

• Lost - The Complete Third Season

My personal recommendation is this amazing top rated series from BBC: Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series Description: As of its release in early 2007, Planet Earth is quite simply the greatest nature/wildlife series ever produced. Following the similarly monumental achievement of The Blue Planet: Seas of Life, this astonishing 11-part BBC series is brilliantly narrated by Sir David Attenborough and sensibly organized so that each 50-minute episode covers a specific geographical region and/or wildlife habitat (mountains, caves, deserts, shallow seas, seasonal forests, etc.) until the entire planet has been magnificently represented by the most astonishing sights and sounds you’ll ever experience from the comforts of home. The premiere episode, “From Pole to Pole,” serves as a primer for things to come, placing the entire series in proper context and giving a general overview of what to expect from each individual episode. Without being overtly political, the series maintains a consistent and subtle emphasis on the urgent need for ongoing conservation, best illustrated by the plight of polar bears whose very behavior is changing (to accommodate life-threatening changes in their fast-melting habitat) in the wake of global warming–a phenomenon that this series appropriately presents as scientific fact. With this harsh reality as subtext, the series proceeds to accentuate the positive, delivering a seemingly endless variety of natural wonders, from the spectacular mating displays of New Guinea’s various birds of paradise to a rare encounter with Siberia’s nearly-extinct Amur Leopards, of which only 30 remain in the wild.And that’s just a hint of the marvels on display.

Top 10 Google search tips and tricks

2008-01-30T05:29:00.000-08:00

This is a great post from:http://websearch.about.com. This tips will help you a lot for better search on Internet. I think, you should follow this article for your better performance in Google.

The Top Ten Google Search Tricks You Need To Know

Google is the most popular search engine on the Web, but most people don't realize how much more powerful they can make their Google searches with just a few simple tweaks.

1. Google Phrase Search

If you want Google to return your search as a complete phrase, in the exact order and proximity that you typed it in as, then you’ll need to surround it with quotes; i.e., “three blind mice.” Otherwise, Google will just locate these words either separately OR together.
Learn more about searching with quotation marks

2. Google Negative Search

Use the "-" symbol when you want Google to find pages that have one search word on them, but you need it to exclude other words commonly associated with that search word.

Learn more about searching with basic math

3. Google Order of Search

The order in which you type your search query actually does have an effect on your search results. For example, if you are looking for a great waffle recipe, you’ll want to type in “waffle recipe” rather than “recipe waffle”. It does make a difference.

4. Google Forced Search

Google automatically excludes common words like “where”, “how”, “and”, etc. because it tends to slow down your search. However, if you’re looking for something that actually needs those words included, you can “force” Google to include them by using our old friend the addition sign, i.e., Spiderman +3, or, you could use quotation marks: “Spiderman 3”.

5. Google Site Search

This is one of my most common Google searches. You can use Google to actually search within a site for content; for example, say you want to look inside of About Web Search for everything on “free movie downloads.” Here’s how you would frame your search at Google: site:websearch.about.com “free movie downloads”

Learn more about Google Site Search

6. Google Number Range Search

This is one of those “wow, I can do that?” kind of Google searches. Here’s how it works: just add two numbers, separated by two periods, with no spaces, into the search box along with your search terms. You can use this number range search to set ranges for everything from dates (Willie Mays 1950..1960) to weights (5000..10000 kg truck). However, be sure to specify a unit of measurement or some other indicator of what your number range represents.

Okay, so here’s one that you could try:

nintendo wii $100..$300

You’re asking Google to find all the Nintendo Wii’s within the price range of $100 to $300 here. Now, you can use pretty much any kind of numerical combination; the trick is the two periods in between the two numbers.

7. Google Define

Ever come across a word on the Web that you don’t know? Instead of reaching for that bulky dictionary, just type define (you can also use definition) word (insert your own word) and Google will come back with a host of definitions. I use this one all the time not only for definitions (mostly tech-related), but I’ve also found it’s a great way to find detailed articles that can explain not only the word you’re looking for, but the context in which it most commonly occurs. For instance, the buzz phrase “Web 2.0” using the Google syntax of define web 2.0 returns with some really interesting and practical stuff.

8. Google Calculator

Anything that helps with math-related stuff gets a vote in my book. Not only can you use Google to solve simple math problems, you can also use it to convert measurements. Here are a few examples of this; you can simply type these right into the Google search box:

Half a quart in tablespoons
5 miles to kilometers
sqrt(8912)

And so on. Google can also do much more complex problems and conversions; you can find out how to build your queries so Google knows what to do with them at the official Google Calculator help page, http://www.google.com/help/calculator.html.

9. Google Phonebook

Google has a gigantic phonebook directory, as well they should – their index is one of the largest, if not THE largest, on the Web. Here’s how you can use Google’s phonebook to find a phone number or address (United States only at the time of this writing):

first name (or first initial), last name, city (state is optional)
first name (or first initial), last name, state
first name (or first initial), last name, area code
first name (or first initial), last name, zip code
phone number, including area code
last name, city, state
last name, zip code Don’t want your information in the Google phonebook? You’ll want to visit this page: Google Phonebook Name Removal (http://www.google.com/help/pbremoval.html).

Find out more about Google Phonebook

10. Google Spell Checker

For some strange reason, I have never been able to spell certain words without a spell check – and since we don’t always work within a medium that offers an automatic spell check on the Web (blogs, message boards, etc.), it’s so nice to have a built-in Google spell checker. Here’s how it works: you just type in the word you’re struggling with into Google’s search box, and Google will very politely come back with this phrase: “Did you mean…(correct spelling)?” This is probably one of the most useful Google inventions ever.

Top 10 Google Adword tips and tricks

2008-01-30T05:05:00.000-08:00

From Ezinearticle.com

We find this popular article for advertisers in Google adword for web marketing industry. This article will help you a lot to know more info. about Google adword program.

In fact, so easy is it to get lost in the world of AdWords that you can quickly forget that it is essentially a business tool, and one that costs money – lots of money if you’re not careful. So based on my experience of the last few months, here are some essential tips for getting the most of out of Google AdWords.

1. Be Creative

The toughest stage of AdWords is one of the first – writing your ad. You have 95 characters (25-word title and two 35-word lines) to not only get your message across, but also to differentiate that message from your competitors’ ads. Throw Google’s strict policies on truth and honesty into the equation, and you have a real challenge on your hands, particularly if you don’t have a resident creative genius to call on!

However, with a little planning and research it shouldn’t be too difficult to come up with an attractive ad. Decide on what your real message is and keep it simple. Do a search using the keywords you want to use and look at your competitors’ ads. Think about your target audience and the language that will attract them. And finally, and this may sound a bit wacky, try reading and then writing a few haiku, the traditional Japanese poetic form in which writers have a mere 17 syllables to express themselves – it will help you trim the fat from your writing and concentrate on the meat.

2. Be relevant

Putting your keywords into your ad text is more likely to generate clicks. Why? Because searchers can see that your ad is relevant to their search. If I search for ‘tom waits tickets’, I will only click on those results that contain this search phrase and will consider results without this phrase to be irrelevant.

3. Think about your landing page

When you’re happy with the content of your ad, think about where it will take the user. Don’t just direct them to your homepage and expect them to find their own way to what they want – take them straight there. If I click on my ‘tom waits tickets’ ad and am taken to a generic homepage on which my chosen topic isn’t immediately visible, I’ll go elsewhere.

Also, make sure the content of the landing page matches the content of the ad. Your keywords should feature in the text, and also as metatags, to improve your quality score and your overall search ranking. If the content of your landing page doesn’t match the content of your ad, users will feel misled.

You should also ensure that your landing page isn’t a ‘dead end’, i.e. a page that people will look at once and then close or leave. Don’t include external links on the page – make sure users are guided to another page on your site or channeled to your sales, booking or feedback page.

4. Work geographically

When you first set up your Google ad, the temptation is to maximise your web hits by targeting a broad geographical sector. But think again – if you only operate in a particular country or region, there’s no point in your ad appearing to users elsewhere. I set up an ad for a hotel software product which we only sell in Southeast Asia, with a tight budget of $5 per day. Allowing the ad to appear to users outside SE Asia would mean my ad budget being eaten up by people with no interest in my product.

So look at where your target customers are and restrict your ad to those territories, to ensure your money is being spent wisely.

5. Don’t insist on being no.1

AdWords allows you to pay top dollar for your ad to be top of the pile. But is this really what you want? Chances are you’ll get a lot of clicks from indiscriminate, impatient surfers who just click on the top result without reading it first. Serious searchers will read every ad above the fold (i.e. positions 1-5); really serious searchers will read every ad on the page. So spend enough to ensure you’re on the first page, but no more.

6. Test, test, test

This is where your inner strategy game geek comes in. If you’ve played sports sims like the life-consuming Championship Manager, you’ll already know the benefits of testing different team formations, tactics, training routines and so on. And so you’ll probably get the hang of AdWords pretty quickly. Testing different keywords, ad copy, landing pages, landing page copy, ad scheduling, min/max CPC and so on will give you lots of different results and allow you to optimise every ad in every campaign.

One of the first ads I set up was a recruitment ad for our company. It generated a lot of clicks but I discovered that the landing page had a bounce rate (i.e. the number of visitors who visit a page and then leave immediately) of around 85%. I was using a landing page which gave general information about the benefits of working for the company but didn’t contain any actual vacancies. So I switched the landing page to one which simply listed every current vacancy we have, and within days the bounce rate had gone down to 60%!

7. Set goals

Every campaign, be it military, sporting or advertising, must have an ultimate goal by which the campaign’s success can be measured. If you run an e-commerce site then it’s easy to measure the ROI of AdWords, but if, like mine, your site is designed to increase brand awareness and display product information, it’s not so easy. Sure, AdWords will send your traffic sky-high but how do you know you’re getting your money’s worth?

The simple answer is to use Google Analytics’ Goal Conversion function, which allows you to define a specific page you wish people to visit or an action you wish them to complete – submitting a feedback form for example, or downloading a PDF or podcast. You’ll quickly find your conversion rate will become an obsession and lead to constant tweaking, tinkering and testing, all of which will ensure you get maximum return on your AdWords investment.

8. Try CPM ads

If you’re not convinced by CPC, try CPM advertising instead. Rather than set up lots of keywords, instead you choose sites from Google’s content networks on which you wish your ad to appear. If I’m selling bicycles in Bolivia for example, I’ll scour Google for Bolivian cycling and leisure websites and flag these sites in my CPM campaign – this is more secure than blindly using the Google Content Network as it allows me to personally vet each site on which my ad will be displayed.

9. Monitor results

Checking ad performance should, and will, become a daily habit for you once you get started with AdWords. Google’s tracking tools allow you to quickly identify under- or over-performing ads and take remedial action, and using the superb free Google Analytics service allows you to monitor the effect of your AdWords campaigns on your website.

10. CTR isn’t everything!

CTR – or click-through rate – is seen by many AdWords users as the only stat that counts. But don’t get too hung up on it. Remember, the higher the click-through rate, the higher your outlay. Sure, if you’re running an e-commerce site then clicks are your bread & butter, but if your site doesn’t actually sell anything and is designed more with brand awareness in mind, then a high number of above-the-fold impressions combined with a low CTR may be sufficient for you.

I hope you find these ten tips useful in running your own AdWords campaigns – and please let me know if you have any good advice of your own!

Top 10 Google Apps.

2008-01-30T04:47:00.000-08:00

From http://reviews.cnet.com , we find the top ten Google applications for internet users.

As Google expands its empire beyond stellar search, the goliath keeps piling onto its heap of free tools that enable you to communicate, manage multimedia, jam-pack your calendar, map trips, and even create virtual worlds. Some of these apps integrate seamlessly with each other, while others stand alone. Most of these services are rough drafts that remain in beta testing, so expect them to evolve. Here are the 10 Google apps that we find the most intriguing, whether for their sheer usefulness or for the controversy they attract. (Check out more members of the Google family here.)

CNET rating

8.4

1. Gmail beta

Gmail is a star among the Web's top e-mail tools, especially for its inventive message-organizing methods. And Gmail plays well with other members of the Google family. Case in point: its natural-language abilities can detect when someone sends you an event invitation, then whisk you to Google Maps or Google Calendar so that you won't miss the party. Read review

CNET rating

7.0

2. Google Calendar beta

Dinner at 8? How about sword-swallowing classes at 8:30 instead? Google Calendar enables you to manage appointments and discover events from assorted sources that other users have made public. Read review

3. Google Talk beta

What's better than an instant-messaging tool loaded with expressive emoticons, as well as links to news stories and streaming music sites? If such bells and whistles strike the wrong note with you, then the answer is Google Talk. You can run this no-frills chatting client either within a floating window or embedded within Gmail. Add a headset and talk to buddies for free. Read editor's take

CNET rating

7.7

4. Writely beta

Who says you need to pay through the nose for a word processor? Ever since we started using the free Writely to compose and edit basic text files, we've been hooked on its simplicity. The drawback? If you're offline, you're out of luck. Read review

5. Google Spreadsheets

Most people find crunching numbers dull. It's extraclunky when you must open a hard drive-hogging application just to sum up some quick figures. Google Labs' Spreadsheets lets you make calculations on the fly from anywhere, as long as you're online. It may not be an Excel killer, but it's a time-saver. Read editor's take

CNET rating

7.0

6. Google Maps

Cartography seemed dry until Google Maps started serving up free satellite views to the public. Since then, enthusiasts have been shaping this dynamic mapping tool to pinpoint the locations of hot dog stands, celebrity sightings, and visits from outer space. Read review

7. Google Earth 4 beta

CNET rating

8.0

8. Google SketchUp

Build your dream house in 3D detail without a lick of CAD or architectural expertise. While you're at it, why not sketch a whole city, drop it into Google Earth, and send it to your friends to move forward with your world domination plans. Read review

9. Picasa Web Albums beta

At long last, one of the finest freebie apps for tweaking your digital pictures now lets you upload albums to the Web. We hope that the bare-bones Picasa Web Albums, now in a testing phase, will eventually add more features for editing, tagging, and sharing photos online. Read editor's take

CNET rating

7.0

10. Google Desktop 4 beta

This download installs a top-notch search tool to find files on your computer, and it stacks fun Gadgets on your desktop. Hey, now that you're using so many Google tools, why not just hand over your hard drive to Mountain View? Seriously, though, Desktop's search is terrific, but we nevertheless urge that you either skip it altogether or disable Advanced Features if you feel uneasy about entrusting so much personal data to one company.

Top 10 Yahoo tech news

2008-01-29T05:45:00.000-08:00

This article was written by Vera H-C Chan, Buzz Senior Editor. This top ten news in tech world is very helpful for you.

Queuing up is a noble tradition — the disciplined mob lining up for free bread or concert tickets. In 2007, a cell phone had people camping on the doorsteps of the local wireless store.

Turned out the lines weren't necessary after all, but the buzz had been too long in the making to let technological history pass us by.

Apple cofounder Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone at MacWorld in January. From that moment on, searches soared as people clamored for this latest gadget from the company that had brought us the iPod.

Its summer arrival had pundits hailing the iPhone as a technological leap. The elegant device did more than marry aesthetics and communication — it freed consumers from the tyranny of buttons and re-asserted their mastery over the machine.

Its interface refused to conform to engineering conventions. Instead of us fumbling with confusing controls, the touchscreen responded to our caresses. We searched for software hacks to crack its code. We anguished over its price (twice). We even sought out the music from its commercial. The power to send a text message, email a digital photo, or surf the Web literally lay at our fingertips.

The Nintendo Wii had a similarly seductive quality. It debuted in late 2006, amidst predictions of a stiff competition from the Sony PlayStation 3 and the new Xbox. We knew better. With its simplicity and relatively reasonable price, the Wii left its rivals in the Search dust. Its simple controls helped introduce mothers and grandparents to the joy of gamesmanship. Virtual reality no longer belonged solely to male teens, as the Wii ushered in the era of family-friendly social gaming.

Gadgets and games weren't the only thing to push the tech limits. Corporate stakes accelerated the growth of social networking. We still downloaded videos of cute kitties and dance moves, but in 2007, the YouTube debate and Yahoo! Candidate Mash-up experimented with the concept of the online town hall. This was also the year that presidential candidates en masse appealed to their citizenry through the Internet.

Technology wasn't so much breaking new ground, but entering into a new maturity. Our personal gadgets and webpages had at last connected and united us. In 2008, we expect only upgrades.

Top 10 news on del.icio.us

2008-01-29T05:33:00.000-08:00

This article is found from Yahoo new trends in 2007. This post is written by Delicious product marketing manager. This top ten search news is very helpful for your blogging.

Creativity and creation marked the 2007 searches on our social search and bookmarking site, del.icio.us, which serves as the "Web memory" for millions of technologists, librarians, journalists, and others who enjoy staying on the cutting edge of what's new and interesting in technology and society.

The pursuit of design took the top spot among the millions of del.icio.us users, who shared and tagged blogs and articles on how to groom a website and tinker with typography for maximum effect.

The drive to find the best visual element pushed bookmarks for photography into the top 10. And searches for tips on technique have also been on the upswing, thanks to the dominance of digital cameras in the past few years.

Del.icio.us users tend to be a pretty tech-savvy bunch (Ubuntu, anyone?), although they still indulge in the music, video, and travel inquiries that are the meat and potatoes of search. After all, researching a favorite band, sharing the latest viral video (treadmill dancing), or finding the cheapest fare will always be popular Web pursuits, no matter how sophisticated the audience.

After years of hype, the market has finally matured for HDTV. With high-definition programming more readily available and monitor prices rapidly dropping, HDTV is now the second most popular search on del.icio.us.

In other leisurely pursuits, interest in games continued to grow, particularly in massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) such as World of Warcraft. On the opposite end of the spectrum, online mini-games such as Tower Defense enjoyed a spike, thanks to those gamers seeking quick recreational breaks.

Finally, it's not surprising that Web 2.0 and Mac remained high on the list as the del.icio.us community is in the technology forefront. And with Apple's release of the Leopard operating system this fall (not to mention any upcoming announcements made at Macworld in January), Steve Jobs is sure to add more customers to his loyal user base. In the process, Apple might remake the concept of design once again.

Top 10 facebook apps: extension

2008-01-29T04:03:00.000-08:00

Facebook is a huge community to share your thought and ideas. You will perform here by taking all kinds of support from other websites.

The final installment in our look at the top 50 Facebook apps will look at 10 apps for extension. These apps extend Facebook's core functionality to improve upon existing features (for the most part). This was the hardest list to create because there is probably more overlap in this category than any of the others, which meant excluding a lot of apps. This is a completely subjective list, so not everyone will agree with our picks and I encourage you to debate them in the comments.

This post is the last in a 5-part series that has identified our picks for the top 50 Facebook apps (10 each in 5 categories). Be sure to check out Part 1: Work, Part 2: Play, Part 3: Media, and Part 4: Utility as well.

Extended Info

Extended Info is the perfect app to start off this list -- it even uses the word extended in the title! This app, which won the F8 Hackathon contest, allows you to tell the world more about yourself by adding custom profile fields such as activities, interests, favorite coffee shops, or whatever you can think of. With Extended Info your profile also supports videos, images, MP3 files, and colored text.

SuperPoke!

Who wants to poke someone when you can pinch them instead? SuperPoke! extends the built in poking application on Facebook by allowing you choose from an extensive list of additional actions. What sets SuperPoke! apart from other poking apps, is that you can choose to dole out new pokes, rather than just adding new forms of poking to your own profile. It would be great, though, if like the popular X Me app, you could define your own original poke styles.

Advanced Wall

The Advanced Wall app takes the Facebook wall to new levels by adding support for styled text, images, videos, and flash. This is all made possible through a nice wysiwyg editor. Some people might argue that this type of app causes the "MySpacification" of Facebook and should be shunned. But millions of people disagree, having already installed this app and others like it.

Top Friends

Top Friends is by far the most popular third-party application on Facebook, and with good reason: it's actually pretty useful. I have about 150 friends on Facebook, but I only regularly interact with a handful of those. Top Friends lets you create a box on your profile of your 32 favorite contacts for quick access. Rather than having to slog through your entire list of friends to find the buddy whose profile you're after, you can just click once after making him or her a Top Friend.

Live Blog

Live Blog replaces Facebook's notes app with a full blog that is displayed on your profile. It has support for YouTube vidoes and HTML, and includes commenting. Coming soon: RSS/Atom feeds, draft and preview functions, and built-in image upload.

Friend Stats

Friend Stats brings Facebook's network stats closer to home by showing you what your friends are into. It's a pretty interesting way to learn about your group of friends or coworkers and gives you a ton of statistics culled from their profiles including age, sex, political leaning, who writes the most notes, has the most wall posts, has held the most jobs, and a lot of other interesting facts. For example, among my friends, the most popular movie is "Boondock Saints" and the most popular TV show is "Family Guy."

Widgets

Like Advanced Wall, many people feel the Widgets app from Widgetbox contributes to the "MySpacification" of Facebook. And they may have a point. Widgets allows users to add any of the more than 10,000 Widgetbox widgets to their Facebook profile -- just like MySpace -- but thankfully, it doesn't let users get around the no autoplay rule Facebook imposes on Flash widgets. Many of the widgets available in this app let you add functionality from outside apps that have yet to make the jump to Facebook, and so this application will have a use for many people.

Graffiti

Graffiti is the most popular of the Facebook drawing apps. It's not the most advanced, but I think it is the easiest to get the hang of. And you can actually make some pretty impressive art with it if you A) have some modicum of talent and B) have the patience to do it (see below for an example). Graffiti places a simple drawing app on your profile that lets your friends leave you drawn obscenities (or works of art -- whatever they fancy).

Moodsic

There are a number of Facebook apps for displaying your mood (an extension of the built-in status app) and when I started I honestly didn't think I would pick this one. But Moodsic is one of the more novel of the mood apps. With Moodsic, you set you mood and the app matches how you feel with songs from popular artists. Moodsic got serious points for matching my mood of "somewhat sleepy" with "The Weight" by The Band -- a classic. Moodsic is also a monetized app -- you and your friends can purchase the music you're listening to. Some annoying bits: You can only play tracks once, and if you skip too many it disables skipping (similar to Pandora, in that respect).

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.
--The Band

iGift

This was a tough one to choose. Both of the two top gifting applications on Facebook, which let you send Facebook-style gift icons for free, have the same number of gifts and more or less identical interfaces and features. In the end iGift won out for two reason: it has marginally better artwork than its chief rival, and it is categorized, making it easier to find the perfect gift for any occasion (or at least any occasion where sending a thumbnail image of a hot dog is appropriate).
