What's The Deal With Search Engines And Text Link Ads?
When did hypertext links become the enemy? Google's PageRank began a burgeoning search engine optimization link building industry that now seems to be out of control. What's the deal with text link ads? Isn't a link just a link? Not really, at least according to recent blog and forum posts.In the Beginning There Were LinksA simple concept, hyperlinks connected the websites within the world wide web. Linking is what the world wide web is about. This certainly didn't start with search engines, but rather with hyperlinks created with HTML code. The rules for producing viable websites joining the world wide web sprang from this language. So why is there so much power allotted to search engines and their ru

tely transported to their website. Cool.

All of a sudden I’ve got a website with text, photos, and links! The next step was to put it on the Internet. I went to the website of a web hosting company and within minutes had a domain name (web address), and a hosting account. It’s very cheap to do as well. In my case it was only 4 dollars a month. The feeling of knowing that I now had a web presence was to say in the least, exhilarating. My site is still a bit sketchy as it’s in its early stages, but I am more confident in how to do things now, and I believe that in time I will be able to improve it more and more.

In the future I hope to have a site that has a videoblog (journal), podcast capability (audio files to share with others-music and my thoughts), blog (writing journal), cool pictures and photos, as well as some commercial aspects-like books to sell, and links to products I endorse. These links are a good way that people are making money just by directing others to places

What You Should Know About Social Bookmarking III
Until the search engines solve this problem the social bookmarking sites will continue to grow, and if they take too long they may be too late. Google and the rest of the search engines may die and be superseded by social bookmarking sites. That is the growing trend at the moment that seems to have been missed by those that will suffer most: the search engines. Lost customers are difficult to regain.There are now many social bookmarking sites, where only a year ago there were few. The original ones include del.icio.us, furl, spurl and blink. They provide a very powerful means of accessing information that does not rely on corporations such as Google listing web pages, but simply list all the sites that others feel worthy of

I’ve been writing about the Internet for a couple of years now so you’d probably assume that I am proficient with all aspects of the Web, from using search engines to building a website. Well, you’re wrong. Sadly, I fall into the category of those human beings that fear new experiences in life. You can tell me over and over how cool it is to have a website, I can search and visit other people’s great sites, and still I will be doubtful that I can create one myself. Why? What is stopping me from doing what so many people have already done? Those people aren’t better or different than me now are they? The answer lies in irrational fear. You know the kind of fear that I speak of. We all do. Somewhere in your life you’ve deferred from doing something new because of the niggling doubts that pulled like ropes hanging from the branches of your mind.

What has stopped me from taking the leap and joining the online community that I so often speak positively about? I think one reason is that I’m a bit of a technophobe. I work with Internet ‘wizards’ and when I hear terminology like html, C Sharp, bandwidth, and ftp, I get scared. I don’t know what most of this stuff is and if I do know what it is, I don’t feel very confident to partake in using it. I’m a normal guy. I have a hard enough time with my life in general without having to integrate a whole new language just to put myself out there on the Internet. I have feared that I won’t be able to understand the process of building a website, and that I would waste precious time (we already have a hard enough time getting all of the necessary things done each day) trying and then failing.

There’s nothing wrong with failing at something (usually it’s how we learn lessons best), but nonetheless I think it’s part of the human condition to try and get around having to experience failure, even if it means not getting something that we desire done. I’ve wanted to have a website for a long time and yet this doubt of failure has stopped me in my tracks, literally turning me into a catatonic, barely existent web presence. Fortunately for myself and for you too, there are people in the world who are willing to help with things that we afraid to do, and vice-versa. It seems that for every one thing that we fear doing, there is both someone else willing to show us the way, as well as someone else who has a similar fear relating to something that we ourselves are comfortable in enough to teach them.

Recently a friend at work said that he would like to show me one way of building a website. I was reluctant to attempt it at first, but after his constant jovial cajoling I decided to let him have a go at teaching me. I was so pessimistic about the experience; I just knew that it would be harder than he said it would be. Boy was I in for a shock! In twenty minutes with his help I had done what I thought I could never do. Isn’t that always the way? The things that we fear doing the most ends up being simple, and gives us the greatest feeling of accomplishment. Weren’t you afraid to take the training wheels off of your bike when you were a kid, only to soon discover the joy and ease of riding freely on two wheels? I know I was.

On my computer my friend got me to open a simple Word document. Then he got me to cut and paste some photos from my photo library, and some text from some old stories I had written. We saved them as html. I didn’t need to know what html was! Then he showed me how to make a second webpage and link it to the first by typing in a word, then highlighting it and saving it as hypertext. Again, I didn’t need to know what it meant, only that the word was now able to be clicked on to send me to the other page. We also made a link to one of my favourite websites. I typed in the name of an author that I like’s name, turned it into hypertext, then simply put their web address into the required text box that came up automatically. Now when I click my mouse on the writer’s name, I am immediately transported to their website. Cool.

Phishing for an Identity
Phishing is rapidly becoming on the largest threats to your personal, financial, and emotional wellbeing. No I am not talking about Saturday afternoons out on the boat with your grandfather, listening to stories that being with “When I was your age…”—now while these probably conjure up horrific childhood memories of such stores, they in no way come close to the horror felt by victims of Phishing.Phishing (fish’ing – to trick people into providing their personal and financial information by pretending to be from a legitimate company, agency or organization) is a fairly new scam propagating itself on the internet in many different forms. Each has the same sole purpose of convincing you to volunteer your personal and financial inf

Incorporation Services
Incorporation is the term denoting the formation of a new corporate firm, whether business or non-profit. It is a legal procedure that involves registering a company name and logo. Incorporation of a company has lots of benefits when compared to a company run by an individual or group of individuals. The first benefit, of course, is that your assets are in stocks owned by the public, and you hold a comparatively lower personal liability. This also reduces the personal risks for company owners when somebody decides to sue the company. Owners can also cut down on the income taxes they pay as the sole owners of their company, and also prevent the possibility of a personal bankruptcy by incorporation.You can choose to incorporate you

Flea Marketing Lessons
A few days ago, I was signing copies of my book – Climb Your Stairway to Heaven: the 9 habits of maximum happiness – at the flea market. Nobody expects an author to sign books at a flea market. Some people sell a few worn-over books, but authors just don't do book signings at flea markets. Especially not books about finding happiness.I've never been afraid to be different, to take the road less traveled, to wander off the beaten path and run gleefully right over a cliff. Fortunately for me, the flea market is on low ground and I had the chance to learn a few things just watching people.Pop Quiz: Is it best to wedge your booth between other booths piled with junk, where nobody even notices you are there?

Mobile Marketing: Why This Method Of Advertising Is Working
In the digital age, companies that want to stay ahead need the tools to do so. Mobile marketing is one of those tools. This method of advertising allows businesses to connect to those that they need to, effectively. It allows the organization to spend messages to mobile phones to promote a product or a service. It also for them to tell their targeted audience that the store parking lot they just pulled into has something on sale. Or, it allows them to know that today is the last day for the lowest price of the seasons. Mobile marketing works for several reasons.ConvenienceLet’s face it. We are all working on finding the best way to accomplish all that we need to in the fastest, most convenient way. Mobile marketing

tely transported to their website. Cool.

There are other simple ways to make websites through easy to use template forms like www.yahoo.com, www.sandvox, and for freak Mac users like myself, the new ‘iWeb’ program. I may try them out soon as well to see how they compare to this basic site-creating method, but in the meantime I think just working this way is going to alleviate the irrational fears that have plagued me for so long. I am no longer afraid to walk down this road, and I know that the more you learn about something, the more confident you get at doing it. I won’t tell you my site address just yet as it’s only in its infancy, but when it looks cool and has the content that I deem as worthy to share, you can be sure that I’ll do my best to let you know where I am. Good luck to you too, prospective web masters!
