I've told authors to write what they know. Everyone has heard this. Unfortunately, very few writers do it. I have one friend who did. She took a trip to Britain. She spent the whole time staying at old hotels, castles, and visiting museums.I do have one friend who listened to this advice.

(Much the same way digg is) because the techies are the ones with the toolbars. If you want to increase your page rank, then you need to convince your blog members and RSS subscribers that the Alexa toolbar is an important download.Is this a defect? Well, you can look at it two ways.

Why should they succumb to the maladies of age when they can change the medical world the way they changed the stock market, cyberspace, or the concept of entrepreneur ventures.Exercise, diet, and a good skin care regime can help keep people healthy as well as healthy looking. http://inspiredauthor.blogspot.com/2008/05/baby-boomer-turns-50-every-eight.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11759908.post-793648928451154938Tue, 27 May 2008 03:15:00 +00002008-05-26T20:15:45.006-07:00Most people do not realize that Amazon owns Alexa. The Alexa rank is measured based on the amount of users who visit the blog or web site – but only if they have the Alexa toolbar on their browser. As Google becomes an unreliable tool for measuring Page Rank – face it, every time the webmasters learn how to use the algorithm, Google changes the rules restoring the elite positions of their http://inspiredauthor.blogspot.com/2008/05/increase-alexa-rank.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11759908.post-5584726614921646027Tue, 27 May 2008 03:14:00 +00002008-05-26T20:14:34.664-07:00Web fans (who have the alexa toolbar installed) love to read about ways to increase traffic. If you review friend’s Alexa page, write about Alexa, and build a site that attracts alexa fans – then your alexa rank will increase. You will also help spread the ‘good rank’ tool that is Alexa.Write for webmasters.

It is the number of blogs that link to your website in the last six months. Many new blogmasters believe they can increase their Technorati rank by linking dozens of times between different blogs. This doesn’t work. Technorati only gives 1 to each blog linking – not the number of links. A blogmaster needs at least 3000 different websites to link to their blog – in http://inspiredauthor.blogspot.com/2008/05/increase-technorati-rank.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11759908.post-1781434690436645581Thu, 15 May 2008 05:47:00 +00002008-05-14T22:51:01.129-07:00Most people need a laptop, especially when going to a conference or travelling, but they never thing about a laptop rental service. Face it - taking along the old laptop when you need to send files to your home PC, or working on a hotel's Internet connection is a great way to sabotage your success.

This is a common threat for people who work from home. There is a lot of pressure. Sometimes it is difficult to cope with the stress. I've been sick for the last few weeks.

I was not one of the ‘selected’ for the beta release, but I’ve been moving around the web looking for information. I jumped the gun and enrolled in SocialSpark as soon as it opened last week.

It puts control of search and content into the end user’s hands and cuts down the noise. If that sounds a little vague then don’t worry – it is.

What works will always work. Ideas are the currency of entrepreneurs. Play with many ideas and see which ones bring money and success. Trends change, the local consumer base will change, so your store must change. Many retailers make the mistake of investing most of their money into fixtures and décor, making it impossible to change when the local economy changes.

The high-end boutique mentioned earlier as an example will probably not do well by advertising in the local paper. They could insert a $2000 ad on the society page and receive nothing but name recognition - no sales.

Even other sources such as Paid Post services offer free domain names. I’ve been hit hard 2 or 3 times by these free domain sites. The deal is great for the first year.

Keyword density must be no more than 5%. Google benches or penalizes web pages with a keyword density over 5%. Yahoo and MSN allow 7% keyword density before penalizing the page.
