Note
From Merle: |
Hi Kids,
I think I'm living in a time warp. It's like
my life is whizzing past and the people who own all the
stores are to blame. It must be a conspiracy. Have you noticed
when you go in the stores lately it's Halloween, Thanksgiving
and Christmas all rolled into one. Now I don't know about
you but I can only concentrate on one Holiday at a time.
People, let me enjoy Halloween before I have to start sipping
Eggnog. I think it's time for a revolt by the people to
take back control of the events in our lives. If you're
interested in waging a war with me drop me a line.
It's been a frustrating last couple of days.
Major problems and emergencies that are occupying my mind
day and night. Even sleep last night sucked. It was that
whole tossing and turning thing. My mind kept running in
circles and I couldn't turn it off. Do you ever have that
happen? Maybe I'm suffering from information overload. I'm
sure it's a disease and if I search the Net long enough
I'll find a label for my newfound sickness. Grrrrr...
Did you catch Opera the other day? No, I'm
not a junkie but once in awhile she puts on a good show.
She featured a woman in her 30's from a bunch of different
countries and I did find it fascinating. For example, did
you know in Mexico there's a big problem with infidelity
and if a man cheats and his wife wasn't taking care of his
'needs' then it's her fault and she gets no Alimony. In
Iraq they can buy Valium for only 20 cents a bottle with
no prescription. I guess with all of the gunfire their a
little jumpy over there so they've decided to turn into
zombies instead.
In Kuwait when you get married the government
gives each citizen a 12,000 wedding gift. Wow! wouldn't
that be nice. Makes me think twice about marrying George
and I wonder if I could be come a Kuwait Citizen to cash
in on that. Also in Kuwait they get free healthcare and
2 hours for lunch every day. They enjoy life not rush through
it like so many of us Americans. I bet their just thinking
about Halloween right now, not everything to come after.
Do they even celebrate that?
More interesting points in Cuba you can get
a divorce for only 3.50 and it only takes 5 minutes. I thought
that was really cool. Imagine if you could do that here.
Every time you get pissed off at your Spouse you'd be divorced.
Heck, at that price I could afford a few a week. Salary's
for work are not good there though. They only make about
23.00 per week U.S. dollars no matter if they're a Doctor
or a Dancer. They also get free healthcare and education.
I think we should have that. Why shouldn't people be able
to get an education at college level for free. I mean it's
benefiting society as a whole when you turn out a smarter
populations. Anyway, just thought I'd share a few of these
interesting tips with you in case you've been thinking of
switching countries.

2) Feature Article |
Blogs and Search Engines for More Traffic
By Paul Easton
One of the newer ideas going around is the
use of blogs
as a way of helping search engine ranking. I will cover
why and a little about the thoughts behind it.
A blog (or weblog) is basically a journal
that is
available on the web. The activity of updating a blog
is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is
a
"blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily
using
software that allows people with little or no technical
background to change the content.
Postings on a blog are almost always arranged
in
chronological order with the most recent additions
featured most prominently.
So a blog is really a web based version
of a diary
that required no web design skills to create. Blogs
or blogging really come to mainstream around the
point where Google bought into a company that
provided blog services:
http://www.blogger.com
Then people started to wake up and take
note then.
Google sees this as a way of having very up to date
information available to all. So what does it mean
to those marketing online?
1. Relationships -Blogs can ad a personal
touch to
how you can contact your visitors, allow them to
not only learn about the business you are involved
in but your personal side.
2. Search Engine friendly- Search engines
like blogs
as they are fresh information. Also they allow
archiving which means previous pages are stored
online and any links to your business site are
also stored. This is a great way to help your own
site in the search engines.
3. It's another marketing promotion method
-Anybody
can start there own, starting at no cost at blogger
(they don't allow pictures but design ideas they
have look good)
Blogs are still in there infancy as a marketing
tool they are an easy to use future tool which
as they become more mainstream. As an idea the
term: blog was searched 1312615 last month and
that was only on Overture.com and Google's numbers
would be much higher.
