Ask any online marketing veteran and he’ll tell you that the road to internet prominence is paved by a race to have the most number of back links possible. With Google leading the way among the hundreds of search engines in the World Wide Web, link popularity, or the number of websites linking to your pages, has become a very important ingredient for good positioning in search engine results. The number of back links your website would have will significantly affect your website’s page rank (PR). The higher you website’s PR is, the higher it will place in search engine results pages (SERPs). Using this known formula, online businessmen have tried to move heaven and earth to ensure the most number of back links possible. Article marketing was developed to boost such a number. Triangular linking was conceived to go around the prohibition against reciprocal linking. Ezine ads and links to high PR sites have been bought to deliver some much needed back links. One of the most potent marketing strategies of this nature is forum marketing, or, the proper usage of online communities for the promotion of your website. Please take note. The operative word in the definition above is “proper.” Yes, people do tend to abuse forum marketing, and as a result, the tactic backfires on them. So it is very important to know the exact measures that should be taken so that you’d be able to make the most out of your forum marketing campaign. Here are some pointers. • To find targeted users, as well as to lead the search engine spiders to your website, you will have to find a forum that is dedicated to the subject that your website is servicing. To find such a forum, use the free tool at http://www.link-advantage.com/search . • Remember to make good use of the signature box that you will have once your account is created. You could include a direct link to your website in your signature box. Some forums even allow you up to five links, so this will be great if you’re promoting just as many websites. • Do not advertise your links in your posts. Let us repeat that for emphasis – DO NOT ADVERTISE YOUR LINKS IN YOUR POSTS – sorry for the caps lock, but this point is very, very important. Forum members would chastise you if you will do some self-promotion. They will find that very inappropriate, more so if you will be advertising affiliate links. • The best approach is to post significant replies in meaningful threads. Let your words do the talking, and let them judge your business through the wit and wisdom you could share. Your signature box will appear in every post you will publish, anyway. The trick is in publishing as many substantial posts as you can. • Be friendly. Build relationships. Such would go a long, long way in building your brand. This is a very welcome addition the benefit of being able to earn some back links courtesy of your posts and your signature box. You could win customers, or even joint venture partners, by just being nice and helpful. • Learn from your co-members. Keep an open eye about what they need and what they want. Let this aid you in your market study. Pinpointing a necessity or a luxury, after all, is key in coming up with a highly sellable product and an efficient web design. Forum marketing is one of the most powerful internet marketing tactics in existence today – if it will be implemented correctly. Keep in mind the things we have discussed above, and for certain, you’ll be able to reap a lot of benefits from this technique.

Do not put your hundred bucks and efforts to waste. Take good care of your cellphone and follow the nine basic precautions that will help save your gadget. 1. When sending a message, making a call, or doing any cellphone activity, make sure that the gadget is not pointing towards a person or an animal because the radiation of the electronic device is high and very dangerous to living cells and other essential parts of the body system. Whenever you make or answer a call, use your headset or Bluetooth headset just to make sure that you and your health won’t be affected by the emission of harmful radiation. 2. For your headsets, it is better if you have the cotton ear covers so that you won’t be in pain after the headset stays on your ears for a long duration on your ears. 3. Upon purchasing a mobile phone in an accredited store, they usually sell it in packages with your cell phone with its important basic accessories like the headset, and the charger. When you plug your chargers to outlets, make sure that the amount of volts corresponds accordingly. Also, it is recommended that you use a charger that is suitable for your cellphone to avoid damage. In addition, if you do not have your charger with you and resort to borrowing from your friend, make sure that the connector has the same shape with your mobile phone outlet for charging. 4. Refrain from placing it above or near hot surfaces like on the top of the refrigerator or a functioning component or television. If you do not want to use it for a period of time, keep it inside a case, or place it inside a safe area where it won’t be crushed by heavy objects. 5. When you go to a public comfort room, leave your cell phone to the person you are with and you trust. Do not bring it inside the comfort room or worse, inside the cubicle. There are chances and possibilities that you might drop it inside the bowl. When you are just at home, do not get too much excited with the message you have just received when nature calls. Leave your phone in a safe place outside the comfort room, and attend to it after you finish your personal “thing”. 6. Avoid exposing your phone to a big crowd, especially when your mobile phone is an eye-catcher and an expensive one at that. This will surely entice thieves. Thus, if you want to attend to your cell phone, make sure that you are in a safe place first. 7. Charge your batteries if and only if it shows the sign “Battery Low”. But, do not wait up until it signals “Battery Empty”. 8. Clean the housing and the keypad of your cellphone at least once a week. 9. If you need to give your cellphone to another person who is meters away from you, do not pass it on the air but hand it to him or her carefully and surely.

Running a small business is tough because the buck stops at you for absolutely everything. The difference between success and failure can be a fine line. A small mistake in the first two years can knock a small business owner for six whilst a large new customer can propel you very quickly to new horizons. Small business owners need to deal with all aspects of the business from book keeping, marketing, innovation, distribution, finance and customers that refuse to pay. Large companies have a separate department for each of the above tasks. If you make a mistake in your record keeping the Inland Revenue comes knocking on your door. They work on the rule that you have read all their pamphlets and do not class ignorance as a defence. What a bunch of losers! Countless sleepless nights, arguments with bank managers, disputes with suppliers and angry customers can all lead to stress overload. And this is just the start, especially if you have gone into business with a friend! Make sure that everything you have agreed on is in writing so that further down the road there are no disputes about what was agreed. Better still do not go into business with a friend! The first couple of years are the hardest as most banks have very tough lending criteria for small businesses. Do not hesitate to change your bank manager or even your bank if you are not getting a sympathetic response. Not all banks are the same. Some even offer free banking for the first couple of years! Having a good accountant who will not start billing you the second you call, can help a lot. If you have friend who also happens to be an accountant then this could prove invaluable. Do not be scared to change your accountant or lawyer at the start. Building the right relationships at the beginning is critical. Another problem small business face is absenteeism. If one member of staff is of ill it can reduce the entire workforce by fifty percent! It’s a great idea to have someone you can rely on as a backup. Another great idea is to possibly take on two part timers rather than one employee. They can both act as back ups for each other. It’s important that you plan your growth. Obviously we would all like to see really good growth but if a business grows too fast it can lead to disaster. In some cases you might have to rein it until cash flows allow for another spurt. Factoring your debts – where a finance company pays you upfront 80% of any outstanding invoices and then does the job of chasing payments can really help here. Never be afraid to change tracks if the something is not working. If you are selling products that are not making you money – change direction. If you have a customer who takes up too much time for very little profit – dump him. If you have a supplier who keeps letting you down – find a new one. If you have an obnoxious employee – find someone else now before you waste too much time training the wrong person. Be creative and always on the lookout for that special idea, promotion material or something different to get your customers talking about you. Once you have run your own company successfully and got used to making your own decisions, it can be very exhilarating & chances are that you will never work for someone again.

If writing is an art, then, blogging is one way of using words to come up with an art. This is because people who are into blogging are the ones who are artistic on their own sense, carefully choosing words that would best describe their feelings, sentiments, wishes, desires, and everything. Basically, blogs were first introduced as weblogs that refer to a “server’s log file.” It was created when web logging hit the virtual market. Since its inception in the mid-1990s, web logging gradually saturated the virtual community making the Internet a viable source of greater information. However, with web logging, you still need a web site and domain names, but with blogging, you do not need anything just an account with blog providers. In most cases, these kinds of blogs are free of charge. With the onset of blogging in the industry, personal journaling had been a common ground for people who wish to be known all over the world. However, not literally famous as this is not a case on being popular or well-known personality. Generally, blogs are created for personal use. Like a journal, people can write their daily adventures, sentiments, and whatever ideas they want to express online. Nevertheless, with the advent of the online businesses, blogs had gradually taken the limelight in providing businesses a chance to boost their productivity online. This is where the business blogs have taken the limelight. Business blogs are, basically, created to advertise the services or products of a certain web site or online business in order to increase online sales. Moreover, business blogs are also one way of promoting the company so that the other readers will know that a certain company exists online. With blogs, entrepreneurs are able to establish a name in the virtual market through articles that can be very useful in the reader’s life. From there, you can make money out of blogs by simply syndicating it to your business’ web site. This can be done through the RSS technology. So, if you are thinking to create a blog, whether for business or for pleasure, you need to know some tips that could help you get through and make your blog one of the interesting blogs online. Here’s how: 1. Consider your audience Even if your blog is generally personal, still, it would be better to consider the minds of your readers. You have to think of something that would interest them. After all, most of the reasons of people who write blogs are not at all confined to their own personal motives. Most of them would love to be “heard” (or read) and would love to be known, in some way or another, even for just a minute. Hence, it is very important to come with a write up that everybody can understand, not necessarily that these people can relate to it but they can understand it. 2. Pictures speaks a thousand words To make your blogging worth the browsing effort of your readers, it would be extremely nice if you will put some pictures in it. It does not necessarily mean you have to place a picture of yourself. Any photographs will do as long as it does not pose danger or insult to anyone who will be reading your blog. 3. Make constructive and beneficial blogs Even if you are free to write anything you wan to say to the world, still, it would be better to create some write-ups that would be beneficial to your readers. After all, its information technology that you have there so better be inclined to provide information rather than sheer quirky entertainment. 4. Avoid making multifaceted and complicated blogs In order to have an interesting blogs, try not to use some highly technical and highfalutin words. After all, it is not a science discourse or a debate that you are making, so better stick to simple facts and short blogs. Bear in mind that most people who use the Internet usually do more scanning than scrutinizing each site word for word. Therefore, it would be better to come with blogs that will not bore your readers just because you have these lengthy articles. 5. Make it interactive As much as possible and if your capacity will allow it, make your blog interactive. Yu can do this by placing some video or audio clips in your blog. You can even place an area for comments or for some feedbacks. In this way, you can get some impressions or reactions of other people. Who knows, you might even gain some friends just by making them feel at home in your blog site. Indeed, blogs are not created just for the mere fun of it. It also has its own purpose in the world of the Internet. Therefore, for people who wish to harness their craft, as far as writing is concerned, blogs are the best way to do it. As they say, blogging is the contemporary term of creative and commercial writing. Copyright 2006 Hugh Goble

Online websites know that inbound links are absolutely essential for the promotion of your website. Links feed search engines so when you have more, you become more popular. More quality links will cause you to move up in search results for keywords. Of course, when it comes to back links, some are better than others. One way links from Authority Sites that have good page strength are highly preferable. Inbound links pointing to your website are vital if you want to improve traffic to your website. Inbound links will improve your websites rankings for organic searche engines and provide another path for visitors to find your website. Getting links from high traffic, authority sites are weighted more than most links. The main objective in most SEO campaigns is building high quality, one way links to your website. One of the best and easiest ways to accumulate one way inbound links to your website is to list it in web directories. A few of the better ones are the Open Directory Project, Yahoo and the Authority Directory. The ODP is free to submit, but it could take a very long time to get reviewed. The percentage of those that get accepted there is not very high either. Yahoo’s directory takes about seven days for review and costs $299 per year. The fee at Yahoo is non-refundable and acceptance is not guaranteed there either. The AuthorityDirectory.com charges a small annual fee and review is generally completed within 48 hours. Your site is not guaranteed to be accepted at the Authority Directory either, but in most cases they refund the fee if your site is not accepted. Exchanging links with other sites is a risky way of collecting links. If you accidentally exchange a link with a banned site, it can actually hurt your sites popularity or get your site banned. Google and many other search engines have made statements that they are devaluing reciprocal links. Building links is a never ending cycle. Links drop off and new ones need to be established if you want to continue to rank highly. It is important for you to realize that link building is an on-going process. If you want to rank highly in the search engines, you are going to need to steadily build links to your site. Link popularity will make the difference between your site appearing on the first page of search results or not at all. Inbound links can generate traffic to your site in two different ways. Traffic that comes from click through traffic and better organic results in search engines. Click through traffic comes from visitors to the site your link is located at just clicking directly on the link. This can become highly relevant traffic if the site your link is located at gets a large amount of traffic. Traffic increases due to organic search results can be huge. Inbound links help you achieve traffic through both click through traffic and organic search results. Directory listings are a great place to start with your link building campaign.

Have you ever thought of the different ways to generate a buzz for your business? Internet marketing isn’t just for publicizing online business; it can prove to be a great builder for other businesses as well. It is possible to create a following through offline marketing as well. Online internet marketing can reach a vast array of people in a short amount of time. With things such as pay per click, banner ads and mass marketing e mails it can’t be hard to reach a large crowd of potential customers. It is very possible for you to create a nice little niche for yourself in the largeness of the internet, and publicizing through blogs, personal web pages and search engines make it easier. The major upside to online marketing is that it can be seen twenty four hours a day, seven days a week and every day of the year. There are very few restrictions and although it can cost quite a bit of money to do, online marketing can be profitable for you. You have the option of do it yourself internet marketing or professional internet marketing companies and that choice lies solely on your personal preference and budget. It’s free to create blogs, (which are basically online diaries) web pages hosted on other sites and mass marketing e mails. The mass marketing e mails are to your current customers and they let them know about sales, new additions and upcoming events. Having professional internet marketing companies may cost money, but at least you don’t deal with the hassle of it all. On the other hand, offline marketing can be just as profitable. Plenty of buzz is created through media such as radio and television. These avenues are just as trafficked as high volume web sites or search engines and perhaps reach a totally different stock of potential customers as not everyone has access to the internet. Another type of offline marketing is in promotions. Free items to the first one hundred customers, giveaways and similar events are always crowd pleasers. Also, you could try donating things. If you have semis, trailers or the like, let a local marching band use one for a season while they carry your signs or logos around on the sides for promotions. Putting ads in the newspapers and phone books are another way that offline marketing has proved to be successful. The phone book is an ideal option as it shows people exactly what you offer when they go to look up the service your company provides. Newspaper ads are profitable in that they can often go nationwide. Even local newspapers can generate multiple hits for your business; you just need to find the right one.

Marketing online is more than just putting up a website. There are millions of those out there and to be effective, you need to stand out. So what do you do? You have a fantastic design with content that many will find appealing, but no one on the planet outside of yourself knows about it. What do you do? How do you get traffic? The first step in gaining an online presence is getting your website indexed. The best way to do this is to get that first inbound link to your site. Make it a quality one from a site that is indexed by Google frequently. The best place for this is a premium directory such as the AuthorityDirectory.com. Premium quality directories are frequently indexed by Google and list only quality sites. Normally there is a review fee for getting listed in these directories, but once in there Google will find your website in the directory, follow the link and index your website. It’s like magic and the search engines will be able to find you now. Added benefits to being listed are the substantial traffic that goes to directories is passed along to its listings. Visitors come to find quality websites for the niche they are interested in and are directed along to the sites listed there. Another benefit and perhaps the biggest benefit is the back links that you accrue to your website. Search engine placement is like a popularity contest and the more links that you have to your site the higher search engines will rank you in searches. You will see especially strong results when those links are from a high quality directory such as the AuthorityDirectory.com. We know that having a great website is only the beginning. You need traffic to accomplish your goals in having that website. Every good traffic generating technique involves having inbound links to your website. The more you have the better results you will get. Some will even say that you can get good results with even an average or poor quality site by maximizing inbound links. The popularity of your website is the crucial component in its success. Maximize it to its fullest potential to get the results you want to achieve.

Online journaling – also known as “blogging” – has rapidly evolved from a personal hobby into a powerful tool for Internet entrepreneurs. According to Jim Kukral, creator of http://BlogKits.com, you can monetize a blog in several ways. “For instance, you might build a stand-alone blog and sell ad space to targeted businesses,” suggests Kukral. “Or you could put up a blog on your web site to drive more traffic and keep in touch with your customer base.” Stand-Alone Blogs How can you create an effective stand-alone blog? Start by choosing a subject you’re passionate about. If you try writing about a topic you’re not truly interested in, your lack of enthusiasm will show through in the results, and you probably won’t be consistent with your blogging efforts. Once you get going, there numerous tools you can use to generate revenue from your e-musings: •Google AdSense – This contextual system instantly delivers ads to your blog that relate to your topic. Every time one of your readers clicks on an ad, you get paid. And Google has a built-in function that lets you block ads from disreputable sources, so you can protect your name and brand. •Quigo – Similar to AdSense, Quigo pairs your blog with relevant paid ads. Their system also allows you to see where your ads are being placed. •AdBrite and BlogAds – Both are marketplaces where you can list space on your blog, for X dollars per month. Businesses can come in, look at your blog stats, and choose to rent an ad spot. •BlogKits – Again, your blog is matched to ads with a similar target audience. But with this program, you receive a sales percentage each time one of your readers clicks through an ad and makes a purchase. This per-action model is ideal for bloggers with only a handful of traffic. You’ll see fewer actions than clicks, but the higher commissions will add up much faster. Business Blogs Unlike with a stand-alone blog, your goal in creating a blog for your web site is to stimulate indirect income. The way blogs are constructed is conducive to your site ranking well in the search algorithms. The engines, particularly Google, like the archive structure; the links allow their spiders to easily find and index everything. They also like to see new, original content being added regularly. Having a blog boosts your site’s search positioning, thereby, increasing your exposure and your targeted traffic. Your blog also adds value to your site by providing visitors with useful information and giving them a reason to return. That’s why the content needs to be focused on education, rather than promotion. Your readers don’t want to hear about your company – they want to know how you can solve their problems and what you can teach them concerning your area of expertise. If you sell cat toys, for example, your target audience is cat owners – so blog about issues that matter to cat owners. You might give tips on preventing fleas, share your thoughts about tracking pets with microchips, or simply divulge your own little trick for keeping your cat out of the fish bowl. Blogging: The Big Picture Blogs are positioned to stay around for quite a while, and their value to online marketers should continue to increase. States Kukral, “Every Internet entrepreneur ought to take advantage of this resource – blogging is a profitable proposition, regardless of your online goals. It’s a very simple, very effective way to create a better E-Biz.”

One of the toughest aspects of online promotion is creating compelling content. But the job doesn’t really end with the creation of compelling content, it actually begins from there. The next and the most vital stage for is enhancing and selling the content to create online visibility through link building. Selling is an art and getting customers to your website needs a good online marketing strategy. An effective method of increasing online sales through getting new customers on your website is by reaching out to the right people. The priority is to identify your target audience and then reach out to them. The question is how can you effectively communicate to your target audience? The answer lies in meaningful link building. You can promote your website content, give product or service specific information through linking that revolves around a sound revenue model. Let us look closely at the various ways of promoting content. Step#1: Get a consultant who can help you to understand the important of selling content and also guide you in promoting it. Alternatively you can hire a firm who can provide good content writers, graphic designers and even programmers. There is a dual advantage: firstly, they will be able to develop rich content that will be able to create your website presence and secondly your business will also get mileage and visibility on the firm’s own website. The third benefit is that you will be able to enhance link building by linking your website to the consultant’s website or they can provide a backward or forward link from their website to yours. You can even use the name of the consultant or firm on your promotional material like press releases. This will add to the credibility of your project. Step#2: Emailers/Blogs/Article directories: This is an important aspect of building brand visibility. If you already have a mailing list then you can send it to all the people on the list. You can create link bait by adding your link in the email, so that they can visit your website and get more information. You can also entice people by offering discount coupons or creating loyalty programs with rewards and different schemes. This is a good way of laying link bait and then getting people to your website and increasing traffic as well as revenue. The second option for link building is to start a blog. Whether you are selling a service or product, you can always create a blog that will draw people out and where others can make comments. Adding a link to the blog will enhance link building as visitors will be able to visit your website. The third method of link building is through submission of articles in article directories or ezines. You can always add a link to your website and most of the article directories will let you submit articles for free. One of the premier article directories is www.ezinearticles.com Step#3 Social responsibility: This has a very prominent place in the world of business today. You should create content that is effective, morally right and can provide the right impact. Use the content for link building by inserting your website URL and submit the content on strategic places like websites of non profit organizations. Step#4 Banners: You can use back banner exchange as a part of the link building process over the Internet. You can add your banners on the websites of non-profit organizations and other organizations and websites and create a back link through the banners to maximize traffic and create a positive brand building. The more interesting the content in the banner, the more people would be interested. You can add content on the banners and advertisements that will act as a link bait and direct the traffic or visitors to your website. Step#5 Media: All types of media platforms can act as strong link baits. From the print media (news papers & magazines) to Television, you can explore various opportunities of link building. One of the most powerful weapons in print media is a Press release. Press releases of new products or product launches are extremely good avenues in getting in more business. Similarly use content to create an impact through radio advertisements, which can reach your target audience with ease.

Passwords It all starts with a strong password. We all have more passwords we care to have. It might sound simplistic, but strong passwords are a must for good security. Strong passwords to your web, ftp, and data servers are the easiest first step toward a secure web presence. What Makes A Strong Password? ·A three-character password is much weaker than a six or eight character password. A good rule of thumb is never to use password shorter than eight characters. ·In no way should you use the default password ·Never make a word found in a dictionary your password. One of the most common methods to break into systems is to run scripts that try using dictionary words to guess your password. The less your password looks like a dictionary word, the less likely will someone guess what it is. ·Include numbers and special characters ·Avoid repeated numbers, characters or sequences such as 12345678, bbbbbbbb, or 33333333 ·Never use the user name, or any combination of it, as your password. Don’t use your domain name as your password either. ·Don’t use look alike substitutions like “4ufromme”, or n0t@home” ·Use the entire keyboard, and try to use the less common keys ·Use different passwords for different accounts. If you use the same password for all of your accounts, you may find multiple of your accounts compromised simultaneously. ·Never, ever use a blank password. Examples of strong passwords are: A combination of several words that aren’t themselves a word interspersed with special characters (e.g., !4scOrE&sDayNYeaRs_ag0) A word with digits of a memorable date sprinkled inside it (e.g., vacation -> 0vac2a0t9io19ln99) Keep Your Passwords Safe Ideally, you would never write down your passwords, but it is becoming difficult to do with so many accounts. If you have to write them down, keep them locked in a safe or some other secure environment. Passwords on Post It notes are a recipe for disaster. Don’t do it! Don’t share your passwords with other, not even friends or family members. If someone has to use one of your accounts, log them in instead of sharing your password. Don’t give out your password over the phone unless you have initiated the phone call. For example, you may receive a phone call from your Internet Service Provider asking for your password. Ask for their phone number, cal them back, then give out your password. Telephone conversations are not considered secure. Neither are online chat, email, or instant messaging. Change your passwords regularly. A new password every 45 days is a good practice. Having the same passwords for years is a weak security practice. Set yourself reminders in your calendar. Make it a routine procedure. You’ll see that after a few months, it becomes a habit. Avoid typing your password on public computers. Unfortunately, many public computers have been compromised, making their users vulnerable for malicious keystroke logging scripts.

It is easy starting a business on the Internet. There are thousands and thousands of so-called businesses being launch every day on the Internet, but are they really businesses? Are all those thousands of sites and business getting indexed on the top of the search engines real businesses with real systems set-up? Out of 10 businesses being started right now, as of standard 07 statistics 95% of them, are predicted to fail in the first five years. Such 2007 fact is based on online averages without counting the offline nightmares. So the question is: how can you start an online business, successfully? One of the greatest facts that a New York Times bestseller named Robert Kiyosaki, said in his best selling book, Rich Dad Poor Dad- that if you work in the business, you are self-employed and you do not own a business. That is true indeed. When it comes to starting a business on the Internet, you need to have the vision of potentially having the business in other people hands. In other words, you hire and outsource professionals for getting the job very well done. Professionals who own a talent in departments such as: web design, programming, marketing and doing just about anything that will delay your goals with the business. The primary schedule the majority of entrepreneurs are mostly keeping as their major daily goal regimen, is marketing. The reason for having marketing as their weekly and monthly labor work in their business is because many of us can averagely sell- specially if you have your own company and have started a home-based-business. So the edifying point to answer is: Should I outsource and hire professionals for web design, programming and customer service, if the budget lets us? If starting a business on the Internet successfully and profiting both short-term and long term is in your goals, you should include outsourcing and hiring professionals for certain task as much your budget permits. How to start an online business is easy, you just purchase hosting, put up a website and start buying traffic from pay-per-clicks, right? Sure, but starting a successful business with an integrated team committed to the growth of your company is a whole different story. Be sure to have in mind, working at the business, instead of in the business. No matter if it is a Google Adsense business, affiliate business or information marketing business- starting a business on the Internet should be done outsourcing and hiring other professionals for faster success and long term growth.

It is very important for people who suffer allergies and those with babies or elderly invalids at home to invest in an air purifier. For an air purifier to work well it has to a high clean air delivery rating (CADR). It is expressed in terms of cubic feet per minute; so that a 500 CADR means that the filter can release 500ft3 of clean air per minute. Air purifiers use different means to clean the air. Some techniques are more effective against some pollutants than others. Here are some of them. Air purifiers commonly use filters to remove particles in the air. A purifier with an HEPA (high efficiency particle air filter) sign means that it can remove even the smallest particles. Be aware that HEPA enabled devices need to remove 99.97 % of particles and nothing less otherwise it may not be an accurate representation of what you are looking for. If the ad says HEPA-like or HEPA-type then it may not be hat you should be buying. Other filters use carbon. Carbon is highly porous and can absorb chemical in the smallest forms that is why it is good for filtering water. It can be used together with an HEPA filter. Some other filters use ultra violet light. In sterilization, ultra-violet light is used to kill bacteria and can eliminate 99.9 % of bacteria and viruses. Another alternative is to use ultra-violet light bulbs that will also sterilize the air indoors. They need to be replaced yearly. Ionizers are another breed of air purifiers. They produce ions that attach themselves to air borne particles which are then attracted to an electronically charges collector plate. Ozone is another way to clean the air in homes but can only be used in unoccupied rooms. Ozone is a strong oxidant and can oxidize other chemicals and can remove odour and smoke. Other concerns for customers of air purifiers are the noise levels and any by-products produced by air purifiers. This noise level can easily be obtained by trying the air purifier in the store or asking customer service. The cost of operating the air purifier will of course be an interest and this relates to the cost of replacing the filters if any are used or the amount of power needed to operate it. For power consumption look for an air purifier with the energy star symbol as this indicates that it is energy efficient so it will use less than other brands that do not carry the sign.

Search engine optimization, or SEO, is a means of designing a website, and its individual pages, so that you meet the requirements of a mathematical equation called an algorithm that is design to apply statistical analysis to determine how it relates to the search terms used by the search engine customers. That is a long sentence, so let us look at the various elements that it contains. First designing a website. There is more to designing a website than making it pretty, and unfortunately there are a lot of website designers who do not appear to understand that. Before you can even start on design a site, you have to consider what the purpose of the website is. Usually to provide information to visitors on the search term that they use to reach you. Web Pages Should Load Quickly When you click to visit a website what do you want to happen? Do you want to see lovely flash graphics that take several minutes (or seem to) to load up, or do you want to be taken immediately to the home page. We both know the answer yet they still insist on the fancy stuff. That is ego, not practical web design. Once you actually manage to get onto the home page, do you want some good information and easy navigation to well explained web pages, or do you want loads of graphics, pictures and nothing but line after line of adverts with some links to other pages on the site that you have to search for? We also both know the answer to that, but how often do you see pages full of adverts and graphics and little else? These pages are designed by self-professed SEO experts! I recently had one of my customers ask to me run my eye over her home page that she had just had revamped by a professional developer but seemed not have been listed in Google. Because I look after my customers I agreed to do so free of charge, and do you know what I found? A web page that the spiders would have left the second they visited because the first text they would find would be line upon line of navigation away from the home page. When I checked the target pages, guess what? Same thing. The spiders would have been running round in circles, seeing nothing. Also no worth while titles and no headings except one in a H2 tag – no H1 tags at all. Nobody can Guarantee a Google Position All that from a ‘professional web developer’!! What do you need to be a professional these days? Don’t get me wrong, there are some good ones, though please take a piece of advice from me. Don’t hire anybody that has to pay for advertising. If they can’t get their own website into the top 10 for their main keyword, then how can they be qualified to do it for you? Forget the promises and guarantees. I can get anybody’s website into the top 10: even to number 1! All I need do is find a unique keyword or phrase that nobody is using, such as “Top website developers in Blaenavon South Wales”. I have checked that and nobody is using it! The only problem is that neither will any Google customers use it. Nobody can guarantee a Google listing position. Incidentally, search engine customers are those that use them to find information that they are seeking. They are not advertisers on Google or people that use any of the Google services other that the search engine itself. Keyword Density is a Thing of the Past All SEO experts can get you in the top 10, but not for any keywords worth having. You are better doing it yourself. All you need worry about are having your keyword as part of your title (not all of it) and in TITLE tags, and use your page keyword in H1 tags as the main heading. Use it again as part of an H2 sub-heading. Use your keyword once in the first 100 characters and again in the last paragraph. Once more for every 500 words and that will do. Forget 1% -3% keyword density. Use lots of related text, but be careful of synonyms because few word mean exactly the same as others. Make sure that you make it clear in what context you are using a particular word. Write naturally about your topic and you will be fine. Make sure that the spiders see your page title first, then the heading next. That will tell them what the most important text on your page is, and hence the topic of the page. The sub-headings will reinforce that, but only if they are in H2 – H3 tags. Forget anything more than H3. The spiders should come across links leading from your page until it has read all your text. The lead t to where you want it do next. Attach a lead to it and guide it through your website, page by page, and avoid leading it from page to page haphazardly before it has seen the content on each page. Any website designed like the one I described at the beginning, with nothing but links at the start of every page, will be lucky to be listed at all unless it has hundreds of thousands of links coming into it. Page Rank Might Lose its Influence However, Google appear to be reconsidering how it views links, and perhaps web page content will be viewed as it should be – as more important than incoming links that can be contrived artificially. Follow my advice and do your own SEO. It is as easy as I have described. If you fail to get listed within two weeks you are doing something wrong, and then you might need help, but make sure you get help from somebody who wants to help you and not simply boost his or her ego. There is more to search engine optimization than flashy pages. Spiders see in black and white, and are impatient creatures, so don’t lead them a merry dance. Be obvious, tell them what your page is about and let them read your content before sending them on to the next page. SEO is about being honest with your visitors and giving them information that is as relevant to your subject as you possibly can, but also using common sense. Look at your home page, and consider what you want to be the most important parts of it. Then think where you would want your visitors eyes to go on your page to be given the best information. You can use HTML to make sure that the search engines crawl your page exactly that way. Do Not Confuse Your Spiders You can lead spiders from paragraph to paragraph. Table to table, link to link. Keep in mind that if a spider follows a link it will start crawling the page you sent it to and only come back if you allow it to: i.e. provide another link back to your home page. Theoretically you could send it back and forth the between two pages in an unbreakable loop! That is the ‘website design’ part, leaving algorithms, statistical analysis and search terms still to cover. These will have to be the subject of another article!
