Success















Is it not what we all are dreaming of? Being a Success! We want to be successful in school, in our jobs, in our relationships. In fact, we dream about being successful in everything. But what a challenge this is

Most of the people believe that they just can't achieve great success because they don't have what it takes, or because they're not educated enough! They complain that luck is never on their side or that they weren't born to be successful, or even that they are too poor to ever even think about being something else!



You know what? You don't need luck or any diploma to accomplish the success you deserve.



You just need faith. Faith that you will indeed be successful, faith that you have all that it takes to make it to the top! You have to BELIEVE that YOU ARE the most successful person you ever met.


If you don't believe in yourself, who on earth do you think will?



The most successful persons in the world (businessmen (women), signers, physicians, etc.) all have that point in common: They all believed firmly that they were going to be exactly what they expected to be. They never doubted themselves, they had faith in their potentials and they were absolutely convinced that they would make it to the top! They never accepted a No for an answer. Nothing as ever stopped them, slowed down maybe, but never stopped!


Well that is very neat on paper, but I can hear you tell me: "It's easier said than done! How can I have faith in myself, when all that I have done so far hasn't brought me the success I am dreaming of? Everything that I'm trying ends up in a mess! Oh, I have attained some results of course, but I want more than that!" And that could go on and on...


There is a lot of things that ANYBODY can do to become a success in any field they choose: relationships, business, career, anything you can think of!


First, you have to understand that you will need to make an effort, not necessarily a huge one, but let's put it that way: you will definitely need consistence in your doings.


With anything that you're trying to attain if you don't give consistent efforts, you'll just simply NEVER get what you expect. The main point is to believe that YOU CAN be successful, and YOU WILL indeed.


One good method I am using for years now is Affirmation. And that doesn‚t really take a great deal of an effort to do. Simply keep repeating to your self some sentences like these ones:

- I am a successful person. - I can attain any success level I desire.
- I will be rich because I deserve it!
- Etc

There are some rules that have to be followed when using the Affirmation Method.

Never use any negative form in you sentences (i.e.: I will not fail in anything anymore. It's better to use: I will succeed in everything I'm undertaking from now on.) And trust me, affirmations really works! So if you affirm anything negative, this is what you'll get! So be aware of it, and very careful in your affirmations.

You also have to be repetitive. Repeat at least 10 to 20 times each affirmation every day, for several days. What I like to do when I have a goal to attain is to pick up 2 or 3 sentences that make sense to me. Then I write them down 10 times each, and I repeat the process for at least 7 days in a row.

Remember, consistency!!! You can even go ferther and do it for 2 to 3 weeks in a row. The longer you do it, the better results you'll get.

You will be surprised on how effective that simple and easy method is. Few years ago I started with affirmations to help me care about my self. Yeah! I was like that! A person that didn't like herself enough to believe that she could do anything good. Well that simple method had simply change my life for the better! Now I am happy with myself, my life with my family and friends is fill with joy and happiness, I run a successful business in Graphic Arts and I do have a great success with my spare time e-businesses.



So, let me tell you that this method can really change your life too if you only give it a try! I went from living in a stressful mood all the time, never expecting anything good could ever happen to me, to being loaded with confidence in my possibilities and chances of being successful in all the aspects of my life! And still sometimes when something doesn't go the way I want it, I grab my pen and start writing positive affirmations. And back on the good track I am!

So pick up your pen, and start climbing the road to success!

With that simple method you too can become successful in any of your goals. I simply wish the information I just gave you, will help you out! Don't hesitate to contact me, I'll be more than glad to hear from you and discuss that method with you.



thx.

Wealth, Success and Love

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard.She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?" they asked.
"No", she replied. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.
"Go tell them I am home and invite them in."
The woman went out and invited the men in.
"We do not go into a House together!" they replied.
"Why is that?" she asked.
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said as pointing to one of his friends, and said, pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said.Her husband was overjoyed."How nice!" he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"
Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house.She ed in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love."
"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife!
"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."
Love got up and started walking toward the house.The other two also got up and followed him.Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love; Why are you coming in?"
The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out,but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success."

the Search Engines and your site.

Once upon a time, in a land called WWWebdom, there lived a little spider. It was a hungry little spider and it liked to munch up web pages and then keep track of which ones it liked best, so it could tell other people just how good they were.The little spider never ran out of pages to munch because each page told the spider where to find other yummy pages (links). When lots of pages pointed him to one page, he usually found that page to be very tasty. Also, the more links he found to a specific page, the easier it was to remember it to tell others about.
*Incoming links are important to get your site found and ranked well.
Sometimes people tried to tell the spider which pages they wanted him to try and every so often, he'd check out some of the invitations he received. Usually, those pages weren't attached to any other pages, so the spider would be bored and forget they were there.
*Submitting your site to the search engines doesn't do much good without incoming links.
The spider enjoyed munching all types of pages, but some pages just tasted better than others. When he encountered pages that tried to make him eat a cookie and he refused those. He was on a diet and only ate yummy text.Sometimes the pages seemed to recreate themselves over and over and they all tasted the same. Blech. Before he knew it, the spider would realize he was full of these repeating pages, so he would just stop and go home. The spider avoided the pages that had session ids all over them and never came back.
*Technical issues like forced cookies and session ID's will prevent your site from being indexed.
Some pages the spider munched on were very sparse. They were filled with fatty images and other things he couldn't eat, like Flash desserts. With only a little text on them, they didn't satisfy his hunger and he wasn't really sure if they tasted good or not. He didn't return to those pages very often.The little spider loved big meaty pages with lots and lots of words. He really liked the ones that were well spiced with keyword phrases- it was easy to remember those pages and recommend them to his friends when they asked for a specific phrase.
*Get some real text on your pages and slim down on images. Use your targeted keyword phrases naturally throughout the copy.
Some pages were TOO spicy and the spider didn't like that at all. Especially when he hit a whole pocket of spice that he hadn't expected to be there. He also didn't like ordering one page, but being served another. Whenever he found out that was happening, he never returned to that page.
*Using tricks like keyword stuffing and cloaking can get your site banned by the search engines.
He loved the pages that were always changing a little- they were his favorite. He'd stop by to snack on those pages often. He liked the pages that stayed the same too- he just didn't stop by as often. He preferred to spend his time sampling new or different pages.
*Search engines like fresh, new content. If your content hasn't changed, there's no reason for the spider to index the page again.
While he didn't mind the extra side dishes of table code, CSS, and javascript, he never ate them. He just pushed it all to one side and left it there. He really appreciated the pages that kept the side dishes in separate files so that he didn't have to deal with them.
*Move your CSS and Javascripts to external files.
If he was really stuffed, sometimes he'd just order up the page titles and see what was available, making notes about the flavor of each page and whether he'd like to come back later when he was hungry and eat the whole thing.
*Partial indexing is typically nothing to worry about. Eventually, the page will be indexed, if there are no technical issues.
The spider had several spider friends who all liked the same thing and over time, there were more and more. They hoped one day, to eat every single page in WWWebdom and worked hard to make it come true.
The End.

Pay Per Click

What is Pay Per Click?
Pay Per Click Advertising is an online advertising format that enables you to place your advertisements at or near the top of search engines for your keywords based on the amount you bid. Imagine that you have built a great website with relevant keywords, excellent keyword density, perfect anchor text, and good links back to your site. You now look on the search engines for your keywords and your site doesn't show up?
What do you do?
Your best bet is to advertise. You could advertise on television, on the radio, and in news papers but that could be beyond your budget and it might not be cost effective. An alternative could be Pay Per Click Advertising.
How to Use Pay Per Click Advertising
You must follow the guidelines for each of the PPC search engines to format your ads correctly. That is not difficult to do but it does limit how many words and what kind of words you may use. It requires you to make your ad well written with short headlines and limited ad content.
Here are recommendations for making good PPC ads:
Use relevant keywords in your title. You only get a second or two to catch the searchers attention.
Write your ad specifically for the target audience. They are the people you want to click through and take some kind of action. You do not want people clicking your ad that have no interest in what you are "selling", because they will just cost you money with no hope of return on your investment.
Point the ad to a specific page on your site where the information is relevant to the searcher. Otherwise they will hit the back key and move on to another site. Many PPC advertisers just send their viewers to their home page and wonder why they get poor results. You want the page they land on to get them to take some kind of action. That may be to buy something, sign up for your newsletter, or make a yes or no decision.
Do not use all capitalizations or use exclamation points in your title. The search engines specifically state not to do this. They use human editors and your ad can be rejected.
Try to get somewhere in the top five positions so your ad will show up on the first page of the buyers' search. Often times there is a great difference in the cost between the first position and the second position and between the second position and third position.
After you have gained experience with PPC ads, start experimenting with changes to your ads and test them to see if you can get a better return. The big PPC adsvertisers split test their ads by rotating them to see if small changes in the wording affect the click throughs.
Where to advertise
The two top places to advertise are Google Adwords and Yahoo's Overture. MSN appears to be gearing up for a PPC system similar to Google and Yahoo. Right now they get their ads from Yahoo.
The Dark Side of PPC
There is, unfortunately, a problem going on with the Pay Per Click search engines. It is called PPC fraud. PPC fraud can break your bank account.
PPC fraud is when someone or some group decides to click on your ad multiple times with no intention except to cost you money. These can be in the hundreds or thousands of clicks. They typically use click bots that mimic human click throughs from various IP Addresses making it hard for the search engines to recognize what is happening.
Who would do this? It could be a competitor trying to bankrupt you. It could be an individual or groups trying to make money from systems similar to Google Adsense. It could be internet vandals just doing it for kicks.
It doesn't matter who is doing it. It matters that you can find yourself in a heap of financial trouble.
What you should do is monitor your ads. You should do that anyway to determine how your campaign is going i.e. are you getting the return on investment you need, and you should do it for ad testing. If you sense that click fraud is happening, immediately suspend your campaign and contact your PPC engine and let them know about it. You may be able to get your PPC engine to refund the fraudulent amounts.
Google has stated in their annual report that they may have to refund PPC fraud and they don't know how much it will cost them.
This is not meant to scare you away from using PPC. It is meant to make you aware that it is happening so that you can approach it prudently.
Conclusion
Pay Per Click when done right can be an effective and low cost means to draw live paying customers to your web pages and be a strong tool in your arsenal for making money on the internet.
