One of the top concerns for anybody with a website is traffic. You need traffic to get them to buy your product, come to your store, or buy your services.

There are many ways to get traffic. Reciprocal link campaigns are good but they take time. Try linkmarket.net, linkciti.com, linkmetro.com, or linkdiy.com. There are plenty out there. You can request links in your category and by being listed people will ask to link to you. There are paid and free programs. Start with the free and then move on to the paid. This helps with your page rank so a link campaign should be ongoing.

Running a PPC campaign with Google, Yahoo or a smaller search engine (like exactseek.com) can work but you need money for that. You can start small and spend more as your business grows.

You can create a free blog at blogger com. There are plenty of other free blog sites. This one is easy to set up and use. As a bonus it is owned by Google. They won’t admit it but I think it helps you in Google. If you are passionate about your site topic or know the subject well you can easily write a blog. Postings don’t have to be long and add a post once or twice a week at a minimum.

Once you have your blog set up and your first post created – it’s time to ping. Ping after every post. A ping is simply an announcement that “I have new content on my blog”. Two free ping services are pingoat.com and pingomatic.com.

Article directories are also great ways to get traffic to your site. There are many out there. Do a search for article directories and you’ll see what I mean. A few good ones are articlecity.com, ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, articles411.com, and ideamarketers.com.

If you need content for your site you can pull articles to use. Post your articles here and people can use them on their site – with a link back to your site.

Submit articles to the directories on a regular basis. If you submit the same article to multiple directories try to change it a bit for each one. And don’t submit them all on the same day. Submit to a directory a day or 2 today and 2 tomorrow. It’ll help get those spiders after your site and keep the article fresher.

And remember it does take time to get traffic steadily coming to your site. Amazon didn’t launch have a million visitors dashing to their site day 1.

In the late 19th century the music world was graced by an artist who would push the boundaries of music and art. Richard Wagner laid the foundation for performance art. Wagner combined several art forms into a cohesive unit. One of the primary elements that Wagner would use to create this holistic creation war music, which was the driving force for many of his pieces. But he incorporated other media such as scenic design, costumes, and intricate themes. The themes of many of his operas explored love between people and were expressed through mythical elements.
After the passing of Wagner, the collective art would remain dormant for 30 years after his death. In the early 20th century collective art was revived through Serge Diaghilav’s Ballets Russes. His company would explore collective art in a different direction than Wagner. One of the primary aspects of Wagner’s operas and Diaghilav’s productions was that the Ballets Russes never used speech to narrate the story. Wagner on the other hand used speech and vocals to express and carry the narration. Additionally, the method of creation between the Ballets Russes and Wagner was that Wagner primarily produced almost every aspect of the performance, while on the other hand the Ballets had a expert in each field to give direction. For example, the story line to The Rite of Spring was created by Stravinsky, but the choreography was developed by Vaslov Nijinsky. In contrast to this piece, almost every aspect of Wagner’s Das Rheingold was created by Wagner. Wagner created the music, designed the stage set, instructed the movement of the actors, etc. The primary difference in the method of between Wagner and the Ballets Russes is that the Ballets Russes relied on input from one expert from each media and Wagner used a solo approach.
Many of the above artistic works have been archived through various means such as scores, librettos, etc. But unfortunately the methods of creation for these productions have been rarely recorded and/or available for scholarly inspection. In the two examples above, one can find a libretto on each, which outlines the overall story, but does not help the artist to learn how to create a multi-artistic piece. In this installment of four articles, the questions that will be addressed and answered include: What is a libretto? How can a libretto aid in developing a story line? How does one choose a theme? Should the story development be linear or abstract?
The first issue that a collective artist must address is theme that will be explored. A theme the foundation of for a production. Themes can be simple or complex in design. DeBussey’s Afternoon of a Fawn has a simple theme in that it explores the end of innocence and marks the beginning of adulthood. In contrast to this piece, Wagner’s Flying Dutchman investigates the intricacies of a interpersonal relationship. In these two examples the themes are fairly straightforward. On the other hand, The Rite of Spring appears to be complex at first, but after analysis one will find that in the very least it explores the various aspects of primitivism.
After a theme has been chosen, the story line must be developed. The story line in essence brings life to a theme. The question that an artist must address is how one wants the story to develop? During this stage one must choose as to whether the story will develop in a linear or abstract form. A story that is linear generally has the simple format of a beginning, middle, and end. In contrast to this format, the abstract method generally shows various aspects of a whole. Furthermore, the abstract format can be a brief excerpt of a situation. Afternoon of a Fawn is an example of this method. It only shows a encounter of a woman meeting a Fawn in the forest. In relation to the first description of the abstract method, Act I of The Rite of Spring, exhibits a collage of ceremonies that are related to primitive society. Unlike Act I of The Rite of Spring, Act II follows a linear format. It begins with the selection of a virgin to be sacrificed. From this selection, the story progress into the next stage of development where the honoring of the chosen virgin is made public. Afterwards, the story ends with the sacrifice.
In addition to addressing the issue of whether a story line will be abstract or linear, the collective artist must address if dialogue will be used. If dialogue is used, then it should be created during this stage. The last part of this stage is to determine how the story will be divided into sections. The purpose of using sections, for the most part, is to maintain a clarity of thought. The hierarchy that a story can be divided into primarily include acts and scenes. An act, by definition is part of a whole and within each Act a portion of the theme is explored. Scenes, on the other hand, are the smallest part of an act and scenes essentially support the Act’s proportionate theme.
After the collective artist has addressed the questions dealing with the theme and story line, now the artist needs to create a libretto. A libretto, in essence, is an outline detailing all of the elements of the production. It includes the dialogue, scenic design, stage lighting, and all other things. The purpose for a libretto gives the creative artist(s) a point of reference when they begin to produce the production. Some important features of the libretto include a synopsis of the production both whole and in part.. Additionally, the libretto will include any dialogue that is used. The last aspect that one will see in a libretto is any stage commands, lighting effects, visual elements, and all other things. These elements usually outline their function and when they will occur.
After an artist has created a theme, story line, and compiled it into a libretto. Then they move onto the next stage of the creative process. In the next issue, I will discuss this process and it relates to the various arts. Furthermore, I will detail the strengths and weakness of a few media.

Because we are so busy with such important matters as overfill our waking hours, the wisest among us have taken time out to teach the rest of us what to do with our time out when we decide to take some. But then we always have better plans for any free time, I’m sure. This allows the weak and fearful to rule the world while the media reports on the violence and regression. We are left to wonder what will be next on the global stage. It is easy for us to subscribe to the accidental theory of history; summarized as stuff happens. Yeah, stuff happens – just like your weekly paycheck. Take a long vacation and see how long that continues to happen.

Is anybody making money in or because of Iraq? Will they be glad when it’s over? Will they be ruined by peace? Or will they simply suffer smaller profits? Or will they just move on to the next crisis - or create it? Let us all suffer peace profits.

If you or I rule the world and outlaw war, we can be sure we will be martyred in short order, so there seems to be no point in backing away from our busyness. On the other hand, if each of us just backed off for thirty to sixty minutes each day in a joint effort to create peace - and we amount to a few million souls around the world; it will require global destruction to martyr us all. This becomes pointless to the weak and fearful for they need someone to rule over. Therefore, in our current circumstance, our easily accessible power lies in our spiritual practice and our numbers. How many of us will devote an hour or less each day to a global effort? Only those of us who understand spiritual power and authority? Perhaps all of us and those who would merely like to believe enough to spend the time and develop a daily spiritual practice - if only to see what happens. Adventurers. We could become so many in such short time if we were not such die hard skeptics. It’ll never work. It never worked before. I only ask when it was last tried.

We can daily pray for and bless the puppets we call leaders until the cows come home and see very little progress. But once we acknowledge they are the puppets of those who buy elections, we can begin blessing and praying for the puppet masters. We need not know their names. Wisdom is the principle thing. Wisdom is the world’s greatest need. If the people with all the economic and military power were wise, we would have peace on earth. When you create just a little more peace in your own life and I in mine, the world becomes a more peaceful place. When we are at peace, in and with our busy, harried selves we become part of the solution, while we are yet part of the problem. We can call this progress and we can call ourselves progressive. Even if the regressives make progressive a dirty word, there will be no cause to hang our heads. We will be winning the war on regression. We will be winning the spiritual war.

When we are at peace in and with ourselves, if only for thirty minutes, we can send wisdom to all regressives everywhere, but especially to the mega profiteers who make war, not love. Who are devoid of compassion and caring. We can do this even without having great wisdom ourselves. There is enough wisdom in desiring that others possess it. While sending wisdom, we can as easily send compassion and caring, which is the first result of wisdom in any case. While we are at it we can acquire wisdom for ourselves and loved ones. It is only a matter of intention and desire. I leave you with just one question: Is wisdom and world peace worth any of your time?

It is no secret that more and more consumers are finding themselves having trouble with debt, and that many of them will end up being unable to pay their bills. Rates of debt have been rising for a number of years now, and with wages not keeping pace with expenses in many places around the country that trend is only likely to rise.

Many people find themselves in the uncomfortable position of borrowing money just to meet current living expenses like food and clothing, and this can be further exacerbated if those funds come from high interest sources such as credit cards. For many people who find themselves unable to keep up with their bills, an individual voluntary arrangement, or IVA, may be the best option for all involved.

In essence, an individual voluntary arrangement (IVA) allows a consumer to create a plan for repaying his or her creditors. This plan is then submitted to the creditors, and they have the ability to vote yes or no on the proposed plan. If 75% of the consumer’s creditors agree to the individual voluntary arrangement, it is adopted. While the exact amounts vary, the adoption of an IVA can result in a 50-95% reduction in the amount of money that is owed. The alternative to the individual voluntary arrangement (IVA) is generally a payment to the preferred creditors. In such a plan, unsecured creditors generally receive no money at all.

If 75% of the consumer’s creditors are unable to agree on the individual voluntary arrangement (IVA), any creditors whose debt amounts to 750 pounds or more is able to apply for the bankruptcy of the individual consumer. All these creditors are then allowed to take court action in the county court judgement.

ALL THAT SUFFERS

All our thoughts are never told
And all that glitters is not gold
All that’s offered can’t be had
And all that suffers is not bad

Time will patch your aching heart
‘Though you and he are far apart
And when you feel how life’s undone
Know you will again be as one
In worlds to come

And when you feel the hurt and fear
Just know that he is ever near
And not retreat from tears and pain
But walk out, walk out in the rain

Hearts may ache and cry for peace
And souls’ torment – can it ever cease?
But time will ease, new days are born
So don’t forget to look for joys,
And again, find new dawn

For all that suffers is not bad

And may the future once more bring fresh drops
of dew upon the morning rose, for you.

May God bless you.

DO YOU REMEMBER?

Do You Remember? Do You Recall?
Or do I simply imagine it all?

Sometimes I think I remember,
At times, I almost know
And wonder too, if you recall
That time so long ago.

Your eyes, that hair, reminds me
That voice carries me back
To a time within the shadows
Way back along the track

Tall ships, strong winds, war and peace and kings and queens
Soft warm loving under cloudless summer skies
It comes to me when I am lost,
Lost deep within your eyes

I remember our love and my loss at our parting
The void that was left at you no longer there
And I wondered – my heart – would it ever recover?
With you not around and no-one to share

And I’d wondered at times – was I going quite mad?
With wishing and wanting and loving of you
Or, if, like a dream half-remembered on waking
Did I remember? Could it be true?

That we could have loved then, in some other place?
For it seems to me so when I look in your face
And I see more than features, I see more than looks
Could we be players from history books?

Feelings like these are not born in a day
And a love of this kind will not just go away
Do you remember? Do you recall
Or do I just imagine it all?

Do I remember?
Do I recall?
Or am I just a half-crazy love-stricken fool?

TROUBLE WITH LETTERS

The trouble with writing a letter
Which is overly long unwrit
Is that all the news and gossip
That you sought to put in it
Comes rushing to the forefront
To besiege your writers’ mind
All vying for position and not be left behind

All the random notes and comments
That you feel should go to pen
A pregnant wife, The Cat, The Dog,
The kids and ‘Sarah’s’ men’.

Which should go first and
Which should be last
All manner of tales from the present and past

The only way out
That I’ve come across yet
Is to take all the words, write them down and vet
Them for items of boredom and words out of song
Or leave them all in and it’s …
Twelve pages long!

YOU

I know that you are the source of all your problems
I know that you have the power to solve them as and when you decide the time is right for you.
And I have great faith that you will do so.

If you want to.

I know how you are the creator of all your happiness
And how you may not like to change that
And how some things are sacred

Because you say so.

I understand how you are all you want to be and some of the things you don’t want to be
And I know that you will change these things as and when you please

If you wish to.

I know you will restore balance and harmony when you can, if you can and where you can
And I know this process, this living thing, will never be complete

Until you are ready for it to be so.

And may you walk hand in hand with your god in that place and in that time

I wish you so many things, I wish you a great love

But most of all, I wish you what you really want.

YOU

Stephen Kaye lives in Devon and offers poetry on demand via his email address.

You have optimised your website and attracted a large number of
inbound links by one means or another. The results of this are
that your site now appears on the first page of the top three
search engines, Google, MSN and Yahoo, for your chosen keywords
or phrases. You have cracked it! Now you are getting hundreds of
visitors a day to your website. Unfortunately very few are
staying to browse your site and even fewer are purchasing your
products or enquiring after the services you offer.

You must look closely at your site to find the reason behind
this if you wish to improve your conversion rates. There are two
immediate actions you can take. Have you optimised your site for
the search engines or your visitors? You should always optimise
your site for your visitors as they will provide you with your
income not the search engines. The search engines are simply a
means to an ends.

It is better to have twenty visitors to your site 15 of whom
purchase a product or service than it is to have 500 of whom
only 5 make a purchase. When developing your site keep in mind
your potential customers and put text into the site that they
will appreciate, like and find informative. Never write your
copy with the search engines in mind and those omnipotent
algorithms. Algorithms do not make enquiries or purchases people
do.

If your copy is attractive and readable and encourages real
people to contact you or buy a product then it is highly likely
to be equally attractive to the search engines. When writing
your copy you should not be trying to ’sell’ your product or
service with blatant over the top advertising. Be more subtle.
You are fulfilling a wish or a need or solving a problem so be
informative. People have carried out a specific search so the
need is already there you have to now give them the information
they need to convince them to purchase of you. So as always the
content is the key to making sales as well as attracting the
attention of the search engines.

You must work hard at getting this content right. The second
line of investigation is to analyse your sites visitor
statistics carefully Look at each visitor and how they arrived
at your site. That is what search terms did they use? What page
did they land on? What pages did they navigate through? What
page did they exit on? What area of the World or country did
they come from? If they made no enquiry or purchase, look at
their search phrase, and where on your site they went, and
attempt to calculate why they left without making that enquiry
or purchase. Was it because their search was not appropriate for
ypour actual product or service? Do you not perhaps provide your
service to their particular area? Did they miss or could not
find exactly what they wanted on your site because of badly
designed navigation paths? Or is it perhaps because the text is
simply not up to standard?

If you think it is a structural problem then you can alter this
so that people find it easier to navigate to places on the site
that they actually want. It may also be a matter of your content
so you can change this.

By constantly monitoring your site’s statistics you can
dramatically increase your conversion rates, that is, convert
more of your visitors into paying customers. Finally do keep
note of what you do so that you can accurately monitor the
changes you make to find out if and by how much they are making
a difference.

The Internet is a great tool for everyone, including investors due to the response speed, and the amount of information that is exchanged. Transactions are executed very quickly, with the click of a button or a few keystrokes. However, the Internet is also another avenue for fraud. Investors must use caution and common sense when using the Internet for securities activities.

The fact that information appears on the Internet does not render additional credibility to the information. Be especially wary if the identity of the source is not identified.

Over the Internet, investors can purchase securities of a company directly from the company. Treat the online transaction as you would a regular investment, and make sure that the securities are registered or exempted under both federal and state law.

Alternatively, investors can trade securities through online brokers. Study and understand the terms, conditions and costs of these services, before you use them. Brokers must be licensed, and must be registered with the Securities Exchange Commission.

Finally, be very careful with information you gather from a “chat room.” It is in these “chat rooms” that persons posing as credible sources send out information to “pump” the price of a stock. Once the price of this stock has increased, they “dump,” or sell their stock at a great profit. These are called “pump and dump schemes.”

Steering Clear of Cyber fraud
The following steps, according to North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) can help you keep on guard when you go online.

1. Do not expect to get rich quick – When evaluating an investment you have learned about online; exercise the same caution and deliberation that you would bring to any unfamiliar investment opportunity. The old rule “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” applies just as much to offers made in cyberspace as to those made through any other medium.

2. Download and print a hard copy of any online solicitation you are considering – This document may come in handy if problems develop later. Be sure to note the Internet address, date, and time of the offer.

3. Do not assume that an online computer service polices its investment bulletin boards – The vast majority of services take a “hands-off” approach to screening claims made in message postings, and even those that do minimal policing cannot possible keep up with the millions of messages posted each month. Remember, too, that anyone can set up a web site or advertise online, usually without any check on the legitimacy of their claims.

4. Never buy little known, thinly trade stocks strictly based on online hype – Low-volume stocks are the most susceptible to manipulation since their price can be moved through relatively small strategic trades. Even if a hyped stock starts to move up, proceed with caution – this may just be part of the overall manipulation scheme.

5. Be cautious about acting on the advice of individuals who hide their identity – The use of aliases on computer bulletin boards is intended to protect privacy, but con artists also can exploit it. People online may not be whom they claim. What may seem to be two or more different people talking up a stock may actually be a single individual with a personal interest in driving up its price through false information or baseless speculation. In addition, an impressive-looking website can be the product of a laptop computer on the other side of the world, far from the jurisdiction of U.S. law enforcement regulators.

6. Do not get taken in by claims of “inside information” such as pending news releases, contract announcements, and innovative new products – In cyberspace, practically anyone can say anything. Despite the abundance of “hot tips” littered across bulletin boards and discussion groups, it is extremely unlikely that genuine insider information will be publicly broadcasted on an investment bulletin board.

7. Be skeptical about claims that an online stock hypester has personally checked out an investment – One established tactic of investment schemers is to talk up companies, mining operations, and factories in remote corners of the country or the globe, where it can be impossible for the average investor to investigate or visit in person.

8. Take the time to investigate outside sources of information on any investment you learn about online – Check with a trusted financial adviser and always obtain written financial information, such as a prospectus, annual report, offering circular, and financial statements. Ask the online promoter where the firm is incorporated, and call the state’s Secretary of State or Commissioner of Securities to verify that information. Also, make sure that an investment opportunity and the person promoting it are properly registered with your state securities agency. In Hawaii, the agency to contact is the Business Registration Division of the Department of Commerce & Consumer Affairs.

9. If you think you have been duped, do not be embarrassed about complaining – Early action increases your chances of getting your money back and may prevent others from losing money. If you spot a potential online investment fraud, contact your state securities administrator, Better Business Bureau (808) 942-2355, or The Federal Trade Commission (415) 356-5270.

They say the best way to making money on the Internet, is to
create your own Ebook. Wow! That’s a simple statement, but - do
you know what is involved. I’ll try to explain what I have
learned and I am learning while I’m creating my own Ebook.

Brainstorming

If you know what you want to create, you’ve already on your way.
But, if you’re not sure what information you have stored in your
years of living - well, it can be difficult.

I’ve found the best way to brainstorm is to write your ideas,
experiences and knowledge down on a piece of paper - then do
research to determine what people are looking for on the net.

Research

To determine if your product, idea, or info-knowledge will fly
you must do research. Go to WordTracker or Overture and see how
many times people in the month were looking for what you want to
write about. This will give you an idea if it is a viable
product. Also do a straight search in Google and Yahoo for your
keywords, and see what turns up. Investigate some of the sites,
you may be surprised that you have a completely slant on the
information you want to present in an E-book - which is a good
thing.

Writing

If you think your ebook may fly, then it is time to write.
Create a text format, using Word or Notepad. There are several
different types of Ebook Creation Tools that you can use,
downloadable or online. You can check some of the tools out on
my site at:
http://www.myaffiliateplace.biz/Affiliate_PromoteTools.htm).
Note, that if you choose Gymnast - there will be a notation in
your ebook that states you (the creator) has used the
unregistered version of the software. But - before you pull it
into a PDF, be sure to proofread your material.

Next, you can create an Ebook cover. Yes, I know, you’re on a
tight budget, so . . . look to http://www.onlinewebcreations.com
– they have some free ebook covers that you can choose from,
and an on-line tool in which you can add the title of the book
onto the Ebook cover.

If you don’t find these free ebook covers to your liking then
you can purchase software to create your own ebook cover or pay
someone else to do it for you. Once you have your ebook
completed, it is time to get it out to the masses.

I would suggest submitting your ebook to Clickbank or Payloadz.
However, if this is your first ebook, I would strongly suggest
that you give Payloadz a closer look. From my own research - it
is reasonable, you upload your ebook to their server (which
eliminates your need to make your ebook available to the
customer), and the payment goes through your Paypal account.

As to promotion, I will leave that to you to research.

In part one of this article series, I outlined a recent project
I undertook for a Web site that sells gas logs. The site had a
lot of potential, but in its current state the sales orientation
of the index (home) page and the keyword saturation were causing
less-than-stellar results for the client. My job was to rewrite
the index page (from scratch) in order to boost SE rankings and
response.

In part one, I gave the details of how I assessed the current
copy, how I created a “to do” list of objectives, and how I
reworked the copy in order to increase search engine
optimization. Now – in part two – we’ll continue.

The remaining items on my “to do” list included:

1. Make the copy more inviting. 2. Draw visitors into the
fireplace experience. 3. Don’t just give features… give
benefits, too. 4. Make the sale before sending them to the
dealer.

Make the Copy More Inviting and Draw Visitors Into the Fireplace
Experience

The current copy actually only consisted of one short paragraph
that basically instructed the visitors to imagine their homes
with Eiklor gas logs, told them that this site couldn’t give
them the true experience of gas logs, and that they should visit
their local dealer.

But I wanted to get the site visitors in the “mood” for gas
logs. Even though they may not be able to fully experience the
atmosphere created by a fireplace-lit room, I wanted them
dreaming about it prior to leaving the site. I also wanted them
to be sold on Eiklor gas logs *before* they went to their local
dealers.

Fireplace dealers normally don’t sell just one brand of gas
logs. Before the customers went tromping off to dealers who
might try to sell them a set of gas logs with a higher profit
margin, or with a special dealer rebate, I wanted to be sure the
site visitors would be so impressed they would purposely mention
the Eiklor name.

The original copy is here:
http://www.copywritingcourse.com/Eiklor/EiklorFlames.html The
revised version (not formatted) can be viewed here:
http://www.copywritingcourse.com/Eiklor/EiklorFlames-Revision.doc

As you’ll see, more emotion, more feeling, more of the personal
experience of having a home with a fireplace is revealed in the
new version. It connects better than the simple statement of
“Imagine these gas logs in your home.”

Don’t Just Give Features… Give Benefits, Too and Make the Sale
Before Sending Them to the Dealer

The next section of the copy has a two-fold purpose. One is to
bolster the features of these logs with associated benefits so
the site visitors better understand what they’re getting. The
second is to convince them that – once they visit their local
retailers – they need to ask specifically for Eiklor Gas Logs.

The section with the bulleted list serves both purposes. By
giving quick statements about both the features and benefits of
these logs, I’m giving the visitors the opportunity to scan for
what they need. I’m also quickly making points about the quality
of these gas logs. Lastly, I’m answering the ever-important
question “What’s in it for me?”

The closing paragraph reiterates that Eiklor is considered one
of the best and that the site visitors should go to the local
dealer and see these logs for themselves.

Overall, the copy was greatly improved in both respects – search
engine optimization and sales orientation. Now the page is fully
prepared to bring in new visitors and turn a profit from them.

Telephone calling cards and prepaid cellular offer a viable alternative to traditional long distance calling plans. In fact, long distance prepaid phone cards are the fastest growing segment of the telecommunications industry, with more than 60 percent of Americans having used them, according to the International Prepaid Communications Association (IPCA).

The market is inundated with companies offering telephone calling cards and prepaid cellular with both domestic and international rates, giving consumers a wide selection. However, it’s important when purchasing a prepaid calling card to make sure the calling card company has a solid business reputation and the capabilities to stand behind its products.

Telephone calling cards and prepaid cellular offer the flexibility and cost savings which consumers today really appreciate. Not only do you save money on all your long distance calls, but you also have the convenience of using it anytime.
