Bum Marketing — Top Article Directory Ranking

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Article marketing is a traffic creation technique that relies on submitting helpful text (called articles) to sites called “article directories.” These articles generally consist of an article body that has useful knowlege, and an article resource area that contains links back to the author’s site. This technique is sometimes mistakenly called “Bum Marketing.” Actually, Article Marketing is just one of the many approaches that all Bum Marketers use. (Bum Marketing gets its name from the fact that it is so easy even a bum could do it.)

The wonderful feature of article marketing is that you can count on two different sources of traffic. This is a key point that is often missed by new marketers. When you first submit your articles, if they are good, you should expect that they will be both spread (syndicated) and read. If you write a wonderful resource box at the end of the article, those same readers will want more information and click the links in the box. Once the article is distributed, the links in the resource box will be seen as backlinks to your site by Google, helping you rank in their search engine.

A key factor in Article Marketing is deciding what Article Directories to send your content to. When selecting the article directories that you want to send articles to, it is important to consider the strength of that directory. Having a good article directory list that you can turn to for this is and essential ingredient for a successful article traffic strategy. rather than researching article directory strength yourself, you can easily find lists of directories to choose from. The best article directory list will rank article directories based on their Google page rank and Alexa score.

One problem that you will run into is that you can find excellent article directory lists, but they are often out of date as soon as they are published. What is needed is a site that ranks article directories on an on-going basis. So, be sure an look for a site that updates their list regularly. One such site can be found on MasonWorld.com. Their article directory web site is managed by a Perl script that gets updated every Sunday night.

In summary, article marketing can be a great traffic generation resource. Just make sure that you have the latest information when deciding what article directories to submit to.

Affordable Jewelry Making Supplies

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

I’ve been handcrafting necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings for myself for years now, and have developed my skills to the point where even complete strangers are stopping me on the street to ask about particular pieces I’m wearing. A few of my closest friends have told me that I can probably make a lot of money from this hobby, and have convinced me to set up a website in order to start selling my creations online. After giving this idea a lot of thought, I’m finally ready to take the plunge and move forward with this project.

I’ve got my web hosting and graphic design taken care of already, so now the most important thing left for me to do is find affordable jewelry making supplies. This will represent my largest investment, as I will have to stockpile a bit of inventory before I begin selling. When I was just fashioning necklaces or whatever for myself, I simply bought everything I needed from a local crafts store. Prices were not an issue before because I was not manufacturing huge quantities of products. However, now that I plan on selling my creations, I have to keep a close eye on the bottom line — which means that buying discount jewelry making supplies will be critical to the success of my business.

In order to make things as simple as possible in the beginning, I’m going to sell pieces made up mostly of beads, crystal, black onyx, and quartz. These are among the most common jewelry making supplies provided by wholesalers, so I’m hoping that by sticking only to these items for the time being, I can limit my up-front production costs. Once I get a feel for sales volume and customer tastes, I can start buying a wider range of jewelry making supplies.

I’ve been checking out some online distributors, and have found several promising leads already including one recommendation from i Recommend Jewelry I just may try out for sure. I didn’t realize that so many companies sell discount jewelry making supplies these days! I want to work with distributors or wholesalers that ship reliably, engage in trustworthy business practices, and offer the most competitive prices around. There are three such companies that I’m willing to try in the beginning here. If things work out with them, I hope to forge a lasting business relationship that could perhaps translate into even bigger savings for me in the long run.

Anyway, I am very excited about the prospect of selling my original creations online! All I have to do now is wait for my first order of jewelry making supplies to come in so I can get started in earnest.

Google AdSense is a contextual advertising program for which publishers simply have to add a piece of code to their sites that helps Google analyze what your page is about so they can serve Ads on that topic. AdSense also allows you to earn money by using Google Search on your site that will display relevant Ads when visitors search on your site. You can place a maximum 3 Adsense ads on a page.

 

 

 

 

Please keep in mind that Adsense doesn’t allow the placement of other contextual ads alongside them such as adbrite, bidvertiser, and text-link-ads. I find success with Google Adsense simply for the fact that I author and maintain numerous dot Com websites that attract people who don’t know about the program.

How Hybrid Cars Work

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Hybrid cars are products of the world’s latest technology. They were invented as a result of the problems confronting modern society, like oil price hikes and environmental hazards that are undeniably causing harm to both humans and Mother Nature.

As a car run by both electricity and gas, a hybrid car can help preserve fuel and money and decrease air pollution.

Here is how it operates. In a hybrid car, it is not only the gas powerplant that is connected to the transmission, the part that passes the power on to the wheels and pushes the car forward, but also an electric motor. Both the engine and the electric motor can power the vehicle. The former runs the car and the latter is used when needed to increase performance. This combination is called parallel.

The other configuration is the series hybrid, where a gas engine powers the generator. The generator then charges the batteries and powers the electric motor. The gasoline powerplant doesn’t power the car on its own. The electric motor operates when the car moves below a certain speed and the gasoline engine functions only when that speed is exceeded.

In addition, the engine of a hybrid has less cylinder displacement than that of the common car, so the car is lighter and requires less power to move and, hence, less fuel-consuming. And not only that, when a hybrid car is moving, it recharges the battery. When it is running slow, or not moving at all, or when it brakes, it also recharges itself. Logically, the more electricity the car uses, the less fuel it uses. This is why hybrid cars don’t use as much gas as conventional cars. This can help you reduce the number of trips to the gas station, saving time, money, energy, and guilt about being an earth pollutant.

News And Information About

Head Lice And Children

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Head lice, the very mention of them are enough to get most people scratching. In the next few weeks children of all ages will start heading back to school which will be shortly followed by a mass outbreak of these hair based parasites.

Luckily we’ve moved on from the idea that only children with dirty hair can catch lice. Clean hair or dirty hair, head lice don’t really care. As long as there’s enough hair to scuttle through and a nice warm scalp to feed on, head lice are perfectly happy.

There’s not much you can do to prevent your child catching head lice if they come into contact with someone who’s got them. It takes only a few seconds of head contact for the lice to transfer from one head to another. This is why girls are more likely to catch them than boys - girls like to huddle up with their heads close together as they share secrets.

If you know there are head lice about then you can try and warn them to avoid getting their head too close to anyone else’s but they’ll probably have forgotten the warning by the next day. Being vigilant and checking the hair with a head lice comb is probably a better tactic. By using early head lice removal you can prevent an infestation getting hold.

If you find any lice don’t forget to check your entire family including yourself. Although children are the most likely to catch head lice that doesn’t mean that adults are immune from these parasites.

There are plenty of over the counter and home remedies for head lice out there but if you are having real troubling eradicating head lice then have a word with your doctor who may be able to prescribe some stronger head lice treatments.

Courthouse Evacuated After Bomb Scare

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

A bomb scare forced the evacuation of the Comal County Courthouse in Texas on Friday, August 15th.

A maintenance worker came across a suspicious package near a door in back of the courthouse records office at about 10 a.m., prompting deputies from the Comal County Sheriffs Office to order everyone out of the courthouse and its adjacent buildings so it could be inspected.

Turns out it was only some powdered milk taped up in a paper bag.

In this day and age, we treat everything like its real, said CCSO Deputy Chief Gregg Van De Loo, after employees in the courthouse, Commissioners Court and the Comal County Appraisal District had to leave their offices for about two hours.

We would rather inconvenience people than risk anyone being injured.

Carlos Munoz, 45, was arrested by the CCSO for reportedly leaving the package. He was charged with making a terroristic threat and taken to Comal County jail. His bond was set at $10,000 according to a release issued by CCSO. Officials did not give any potential motives for why the package might have been left at the courthouse.

After the maintenance worker alerted deputies, the CCSO called in the San Antonio Police Departments bomb squad to help inspect the package. Officers combed the area with a bomb-sniffing dog and yanked the package from about 100 yards away with a length of wire before determining there was no real danger. The powdered milk inside was the kind used to feed small livestock.

A final search of the area was conducted and employees were allowed to return to work.

We are just trying to keep the employees and the citizens out of harms way, said CCSO Lt. Mark Reynolds.

Get Fit And Lose Fat With A Wii

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

My next door neighbour, Clare, is what you would call a ‘big’ girl. She loves her fast food, chocolates, biscuits, crisps ….in fact just about anything that adds the pounds and kilos to her weight. And to make matters worse, she hardly ever walks anywhere but prefers to drive instead.

So it’s not surprising that about 3 months ago, she felt that her weight was getting out of control and she needed to do something about it.

Did she take up jogging? Or go down to our local gym? Nope - she decided to buy a Wii console!

She claimed that because the Wii had some new-fangled controls that didn’t just involve pressing buttons like other games consoles, but that actually required you to put in some effort to play games, then she’d lose weight.

Needless to say, her husband and I were not convinced and thought that this was just another one of Clare’s mad ideas (that she does have a reputation for coming out with!).

With her Wii console, she also got something called a Wii Fit that looked like one of those step blocks used in gyms for step aerobics. Clare said that this connected to the Wii console and came with a Keep Fit game that had her doing various exercises every day.

The software also kept a record of her weight, body-mass index and improvements in her performance of doing the exercise schedules.

Clare stuck to her new “exercise regime” and I would often pop round for a chat in the afternoon and find her red-faced and breathless from having just completed on of her sessions.

And the result?

Well, in the past month, she’s lost an impressive 14lbs (6.4 kilos for those of you who’ve gone metric) and it’s very noticeable. We are all impressed (even though she does keep saying “I told you so”). You can find the Wii Fit for sale on eBay at bargain prices. I’m definitely going to get one to get fitter and in shape.

#1 Tip Directly Taken from the 43 Proven Marketing Split-Tests

Oh man… if Ryan Deiss finds out he’s going to kill me! (And this is precisely why you shouldn’t say anything concerning what I am about to share with you below.)

Whether you know it or not, Ryan Deiss and Perry Belcher recently released their latest field report and golly it is freaking ridiculous (in a good way). They basically rapid-fire their way through 43, count ‘em, 43 proven split-testing results you can implement right away in YOUR marketing system/self funded proposal.

It’s called 43 Proven Marketing Split-Tests, and they give it to you for FREE.

What is Split Testing?

What is split testing you ask? It’s simply having your market tell you what they like better, which translates into what makes them more willing to hand over their money to you.

See, the mistake most marketers make is merely making the assumption that one thing is going to perform better than another (i.e. having an orange background is going to convert better than having a blue background). And how do they come up with these assumptions? They think just because THEY would prefer something, that must mean their market would prefer the same…

Not always true.

The only way to truly tell is by asking your market via split-testing, running both configurations for a while and analyzing the results. Or… follow the footsteps of astute marketers such as Ryan Deiss and Perry Belcher and “stand on the shoulder of giants”.

Well, at the risk of angering them, I am going to share a few of these split-test results with you since they are just so good. I want you to get an idea of these split tests are and how you can expect to profit off of Ryan and Perry’s hardwork.

You’ll see what I mean. (And if you are Ryan or Perry reading this, please don’t sue me, I take absolutely no credit for what I am about to reveal and I’ll only show off a few of them to show the readers how awesome your report is!)

Killer Split Test - Testimonials Sell!!!

Placing testimonials on the right hand side of your order form will increase conversions 28%-30%.

Testimonials sell, period.

Adding testimonials during the moment when your prospect is deciding to buy your product or not will help guide them to the “right” decision that others have made - namely, buy your product. Your prospect will know that he/she won’t be the first one and will feel safer buying something that’s already been proven to be a good buy.

Okay… I’ve already said too much, to get the rest of the split-tests, check out Ryan’s free exclusive report, 43 Proven Marketing Split-Tests.
