			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are lots of tips available on the Internet regarding ways to improve your SEO articles and to make profit in the online business. New SEO software and SEO tools are available in the online market nowadays. Several SEO consultants and SEO companies are extending their hands to provide SEO services to the webmasters. However, you will hardly find anyone who is aware about the common mistakes that are often made while working with search engine optimization.</p>
<div id="body">
<p>We often make some petty mistakes in web development as a result of which our websites cannot attain a high rank in the search engine lists inspite of our hard work. If you just take a casual look at several SEO forums available on the Internet you will be amazed to find that there are hundreds and thousands of posts from the webmasters who have become frustrated for not getting the proper Page Rank in the search engine list. All of them have tried very hard to promote their websites as best as they can and yet they fail to attain the top search engine ranks.</p>
<p>The search engines, definitely, bear no personal grudge against them or their websites. So, what is actually preventing them from achieving their desired position in the Internet search engine index? In most cases, webmasters are unaware of the reason. However, you need not have to worry about this as we are here to help you regarding this aspect of Internet marketing.</p>
<p>In all probabilities, you must have made one or more of the blunders listed below. If you can identify your mistake then you can fix it up yourself and your work will be done. The best thing about the SEO mistakes is that it can be corrected easily.</p>
<p>So, here goes the common errors made in SEO: -</p>
<p>Use of frames: &#8211; Although a few years ago, frames were being used to allow scrolling of various portions of a web page independently, however, it has been recently discovered that search engines do not prefer websites that uses frames. The best remedy against this is to redesign your web page all over again without the use of frames.</p>
<p>Use of Flash: &#8211; Flash is a technology that is widely used by many web designers to promote a website. As Flash makes a website very attractive and appealing to the online visitors so it has achieved lot of popularity in online business. However, the search engine spiders cannot interpret a Flash content so it cannot fetch you a good position in the search engine index. The problem will become even more complicated if you use the Flash technology for your menus because in that case your entire content will remain indecipherable to the search engine spiders.</p>
<p>Use of Broken Links: &#8211; You should examine your website regularly in order to ensure that it is completely free of any broken links. Websites that contain broken links often escape the notice of the search engine spiders. You can use the software Xenu Link Sleuth in order to check your website for any broken links.</p>
<p>Use of JavaScript: &#8211; JavaScript are imperceptible to the spiders of search engines and so use it only if you have a good text link arrangement on which search engine spiders can crawl upon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>English is the only language I know.  With that said, I have to say that verbal language is very imprecise.  I get so tired of hearing people pronounce the same words 5 different ways.  I know that it has to do with how they were taught, the part of the world where they learned to speak, etc.  Why can&#8217;t everyone pronounce words the same?  Maybe a better question is &#8220;Why does this bother me?&#8221;</p>
<p>Not everyone hears the same things also.  The various pronunciations of words that I am able to pick up on may all sound the same to someone else.  Can someone explain this to me?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1904" style="margin: 2px 5px; float: left;" title="616726_26242974" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/616726_26242974.jpg" alt="616726_26242974" width="300" height="129" />Are you in the market for a job?  A lot of people are these days.  A lot of people are staying on the market for quite a long time.  It can sometimes take months and years to find a job in the economy.  One of the tools out there that I have always promoted has been LinkedIn.  I have a LinkedIn profile and I connect to as many people as I can.  The reason for this is because I might be able to connect to someone that can help me in my business, through another connection.  The flip side is also true, as I can forward contact requests on.  With so many people looking for a job, one might want to go from job search to relationship search&#8230;at least on LinkedIn.  Check out this article entitled <a href="http://blog.linkedin.com/2009/04/29/susan-bernstein-stop-looking-for-a-job-start-looking-to-meet-people/">Stop Looking For A Job.  Start Looking To Meet People</a>.  It gives valuable information on the ways one might use LinkedIn to forge those new relationships.</p>

<p>In 2009, I have decided to make my online presence larger.  My ultimate goal is to work 100% online and not have to go to an employer&#8217;s location 9-5 M-F.  I feel that I am on the right path towards this goal, and with your help, I can make it.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>With the economy the way it is, these words may be worthless, but I hope you had a great 2008 and I hope your 2009 is even better.  If you ask my opinion, I think the economy has reached the bottom of the curve and things are turning around.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to know what you need to do to make it big on the Internet, here is a podcast you should listen to.  <a href="http://imunwrapped.podomatic.com/entry/2006-10-27T20_39_33-07_00" target="_blank">Tim Knox was interviewed by Heather Vaile</a> on Internet Marketing Unwrapped, and Tim gave his blueprint to Internet Success.</p>
<p>I started listening to this podcast a month ago and I am still pulling new information out of it.</p>
<p>The biggest complaint I hear about getting into business on the Internet is that no one has been able to present a clear list of steps to take to do the same thing.  A lot of those peoples&#8217; judgments are impaired by the fact that they want to make money on the information.  Tim laid everything out, step-by-step.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, my girls and I went to <a title="Six Flags St. Louis" href="http://www.sixflags.com/stLouis/" target="_blank">Six Flags</a>, yesterday.  Evidently, I promised them months ago that we would go on July 4th.  I must have forgotten.  No matter.  I decided to do a little experiment&#8230;at least in my head.  The whole purpose of my efforts to gain additional streams of income is to have enough money coming in from various sources that I don&#8217;t have to have a day job.</p>
<p>I decided to treat yesterday like an experiment, in that, I didn&#8217;t worry about spending money (while being practical, of course).  Basically, it was an experiment in the Internet Lifestyle experience.  I definitely liked what I was experiencing.  No money or time worries, however, there was one thing on my mind the entire day; this blog post.  I won&#8217;t spend too much time on this, but I have been experiencing <a href="http://1plus1plus1.blogspot.com/2008/01/444.html" target="_blank">instances of 444 in my life</a>.  I had another one this morning.  I was up until about 6:30, getting a few things done.  Yes&#8230;I did get some sleep before going to <a title="Six Flags St. Louis" href="http://www.sixflags.com/stLouis/" target="_blank">Six Flags</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-004.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1455" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-004" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-004-300x225.jpg" alt="Leaving McDonald\'s" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>The girls woke me up around 9:00am.  We didn&#8217;t actually get out of the house until noon or so.  It was time for lunch!!! Of course, we had to stop at my favorite &#8220;get some food quick and I don&#8217;t care what it costs or how good it is for me&#8221; place&#8230;<a title="McDonald's" href="http://www.mcdonalds.com/" target="_blank">McDonald&#8217;s</a>.  Yummm!!!  At least that&#8217;s what I think.  I can never tell what the girls are thinking about the food I get them.</p>
<p>So I haven&#8217;t shaved.  It&#8217;s all art of my experiment, of course&#8230; I did shower so don&#8217;t even think about leaving any comments about endangerment of children charges.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-005-crop.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-005-crop.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1456" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-005-crop" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-005-crop-300x255.jpg" alt="No worries...  Shave whenever..." width="300" height="255" /></a></p>
<p>We made it out to the park.  I decided to take a picture of us with the park in the background.  Once I took a look at the pic, I realized that the girls didn&#8217;t really do anything to their hair before we left the house. We decided to go to the water park first.  I promise, I did NOT do that to cover up the fact that both girls had messy hair.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-006.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1457" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-006" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-006-300x225.jpg" alt="Beauties and the Beast" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Here I am, BACK at the car because I forgot the tickets.  Cassie won a ticket from school for doing a bunch of reading. The ticket and a $24.99 coupon from the <a href="http://www.girlscoutsem.org/" target="_blank">Girl Scout Council of Eastern Missouri</a> were both left behind.  No way I&#8217;m EVER paying full price to get into this place after working here for 13 seasons (ride operator /  computer programmer).  Anyway, my <a title="Spending Less 101" href="http://www.spendingless101.com/" target="_blank">Spending Less 101</a> readers would be proud of me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-009.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1458" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-009" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-009-300x225.jpg" alt="Back at the car" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>On the way across the parking lot towards the front gate, we came across some guys loading some sort of futuristic vehicle onto a  trailer. I&#8217;ve never seen it before, but some other people there said it was from a movie.  If you can tell me what movie this car was in, please let me a comment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-010.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1459" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Cool Car" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-010-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>We made it into the park.  There were a lot of people there.  Of course, something had to happen as soon as we got in.  Out of the blue, this gigantic rabbit attacked the kids.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-013.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1460" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Large rabbit attacks children" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-013-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>I decided to take a picture because I didn&#8217;t think anyone would believe me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-015-cropped.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1462" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-015-cropped" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-015-cropped-300x161.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="161" /></a></p>
<p>I had never been to the water park so we decided to go check it out.  I thought you had to pay more to get into the water park, but evidently not.  We just walked right in.</p>
<p>It was pretty nice.  A wave pool, 8 water slides, by my count, and a lazy river is what I saw.  Thee was also a place for the kids to play in the water.  It was under a giant bucket.</p>
<p>By the way, one of my new ventures is free stock photos.  I create all of the content myself.  Here is one photo I took at the water park.  Use it all you like.  Just make sure people know you got it from johnasimpson.com.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-017.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1463" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Green Shrub" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-017-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>From where we were in the water park, you could see the lift of the Batman ride.  This one happens to be Cassie&#8217;s favorite ride.  Alex has not ridden it because she is not tall enough yet.</p>
<p>The first thing they wanted to do in the water park was something called the Tornado.  Pictured below, it looked pretty scary, so I was surprised that Alex wanted to do it.  After riding it, I now understand WHY you are told to hold onto the handles of the inner tube.  If you let go, you will be launched off the tube.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-021.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1464 aligncenter" title="The Tornado - Hurricane Harbor - Six Flags St Louis" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-021-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>By the way, I switched from embedding the pics with the text to this format because it&#8217;s easier.  I am NOT going back and fixing the previous paragraphs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-020.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1465" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-020" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-020-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Next, the girls wanted to ride the big water slide (green one).  After riding the tornado, I&#8217;d had enough of water for a little while.  I wanted to get warmed up more so I let them go.  Again, I was surprised that Alex wanted to do this.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-022.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1466" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-022" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-022-300x225.jpg" alt="Cassie After Slide" width="300" height="225" /></a> <a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-023.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1467" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-023" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-023-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Cassie said the green slide scratched her back.  They both rode the red slide next.  Alex hit her head when she tried to sit up inside the tube.  She had a headache for a short period of time.</p>
<p>Next, we decided to get lunch.  To make this long story short, there was so much confusion at the concession stand that we ended up not paying for our food.  Too bad I had not gotten any for myself.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-025.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1468" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-025" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-025-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Alex had pizza and in addition to that, she was eating Cassie&#8217;s waffle fries.  Cassie had a footlong hotdog with catsup and relish.  She ate the whole thing.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-026.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1469" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-026" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-026-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>On our way out of the water park, Alex decided to stop to get a picture next to a shark.  Notice anything?  Evidently, I didn&#8217;t, or I would have said something to her before I took the picture.  Sorry Alex.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-028.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1470 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-028" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-028-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Of course, the first thing Cassie and I wanted, when we went into the regular park was&#8230;Funnel Cakes..</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-029.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1471" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-029" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-029-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> <a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-032.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1472" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-032" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-032-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Sorry, I didn&#8217;t get a before pic, but it was a funnel cake, topped with ice cream and hot fudge.  This is was Cassie had for desert and what I had for lunch.  Alex ended up getting cotton candy.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://publishers.xy7.com/z/52118/CD9190/&amp;dp=1274776"><img src="http://publishers.xy7.com/42/9190/52118/&amp;dp=1274776" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Scooby Doo just had to get in on abducting my daughters.  I stopped him, but just before I allowed him to leave, I made him take a picture with the girls.  Alex kept hugging him, until I decided we should leave.  You never know what kind of individual is in that suit.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-034.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-034" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-034-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I guess Superman drives a truck now.  At least he parks in the Superman section of the parking lot.  I took this pic on the way to take the swimming stuff back to the car.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We finally made it to the new ride.  The Evel Knievel Coaster was the smoothest ride of any wooden coaster I have ever been on.  It was like riding waves. It is now my favorite coaster, and as a previous employee of Six Flags, groups of us would go to parks around the country, riding coasters.  I tried to get video of this, but there was no strap on my digital camera, so I didn&#8217;t want to take the chance of loosing it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-044.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="picture-044" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-044-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Again, if you want any of the pics, have at them.  Just make sure you mention that they came from johnasimpson.com.</p>
<p>I want to get on to the videos so I am   going to continue forward with just showing some pictures (see all of the pics in the Flickr Slideshow below).  Consider this to me a montage representation of a great portion of our day.</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I also shot several video clips from the days adventure.  The first one is of me interviewing Alex about the water slide she went on.</p>
<p align="center">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CW8aqleBnX0" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CW8aqleBnX0"></embed></object>
</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This video is of the girls playing in the water.  I could not figure out how to put all of the videos in on YouTube player quickly.  I will eventually.</p>
<p align="center">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CjdGs8O66NU" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CjdGs8O66NU"></embed></object>
</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here, we are going up the lift on the Screamin&#8217; Eagle.  I was not brave enough to hold the camera through the ride because my camera did not have a strap.  It does now.</p>
<p align="center">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rel90K3-V2E" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rel90K3-V2E"></embed></object>
</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Finally, we have the fireworks pics.  We found a spot in Batman Plaza to watch.  They only went on for 10 minutes, but you would have thought it was hours because the girls were very restless by this point.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-084.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1477" title="picture-084" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-084-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-085.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1478" title="picture-085" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-085-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-087.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1479" title="picture-087" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-087-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p align="left">I&#8217;m not going to post my fireworks video.  It only lasts about 2 seconds before the battery went out on the camera.  Stupid me.  I didn&#8217;t bring extra batteries.</p>
<p align="center">We were on our way to the gate, when Cassie brought up the fact that I said something about getting ice cream on the way out of the gate.  It&#8217;s a tradition.  I said we missed it because of the fireworks, but when I saw an opening in the crowd, I made a turn and we went to get our ice cream.  Although the park was closed, this stand was still open, by design, I&#8217;m sure.  We got our ice cream and headed out.</p>
<p align="left">The end of the night.  What an AWESOME day.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-0891.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1483" title="picture-0891" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-0891-300x191.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="191" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-090.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1481" title="picture-090" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-090-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p align="left">So you are probably wondering about the results of my experiment.  Let me tell you this.  What people are calling &#8220;The Internet Lifestyle&#8221; is just having control of your life and being able to live it the way you want to without being beholden to a job.  As I went through the day, I paid for things with my bank card and with cash.  For the most part, I didn&#8217;t even think about how much.  My only problem was that I didn&#8217;t have enough in cash form.  Actually, that was probably a positive.  If you can only spend cash, you can see it dwindling.  This is not to say that I want to be able to spend a bunch of money.  I am saying that I don&#8217;t want to have to worry about money.  I am 41 and I have been working about money for 25 or so of those 41 years.  I&#8217;ve had enough.  Please leave your comments and let me know what you think.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/s_woman-eye-hand.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1439" style="margin: 2px 4px; float: left;" title="s_woman-eye-hand" src="http://www.johnasimpson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/s_woman-eye-hand.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t think of this one.  Someone else did.  I&#8217;m talking about using <a href="http://www.socialspark.com/" target="_blank">Social Spark</a>, which I thought was specifically for paid blogging, etc., to promote one&#8217;s blog&#8230;without having to pay anyone.</p>
<p>I logged onto socialspark.com and after adding all of my blogs, I started looking through the offers.  Since my blogs are not approved, I can only accept the offers that do not involve money.  I figured it would be a good exercise, so I settled on one to try.  It actually was not related to posting.  It was a request for an RSS subscribe exchange.  I did it.  I&#8217;ll have to see if the other part reciprocates.  I found another offer, which involved writing a post about a site, then leaving a comment on that site.  The payment is supposed to be the addition of my blog to his blogroll.  The site is a PR3.  The problem is, it won&#8217;t help me if I cannot somehow tie that site&#8217;s subject to the subject of my blog.  It just so happens that it is related.  In fact, you can check out <a href="http://lepixelshoppe.com/scrap4dollars" target="_blank">http://lepixelshoppe.com/scrap4dollars</a> yourself.  I will also be adding this blog to my blogroll.</p>

<p>Not a lot was done on 6/18.  I spent some time with my family in the evening and when I got home, I went directly to bed.  I ended up getting 9 hours sleep last night.  This is a lot more than normal and I feel pretty good today.  We shall see if that has an effect on how much work I get done today.</p>

<li>Dropped the <a href="http://smallbusinesshowto.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">smallbusinesshowto.blogspot.com</a> blog.  I did not have enough time to keep up with posting content and leaving it out there, letting it get stale would just nag at me (an Open Loop in NLP).</li>
<li>Dropped the <a href="http://simpsonproperties.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">simpsonproperties.blogspot.com</a> blog for the same reason I dropped the small business blog.</li>
<li>Removed the two blogs above from <a href="http://www.technorati.com/" target="_blank">Technorati</a>.</li>
<li>Joined <a href="http://www.multiply.com/" target="_blank">www.multiply.com</a> so I can post to it through <a href="http://www.socialposter.com/" target="_blank">socialposter.com</a>.</li>

<li>Added a <a href="http://www.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">WordPress</a> plugin that allows me to add HTML/text before and after posts, pages, and RSS feed entries, then added a copyright notice to both the feed and the posts on <a href="http://www.spendingless101.com/" target="_blank">www.spendingless101.com</a>.  Once all of the bugs are worked out and I figure out how to put adds in my RSS feeds, I&#8217;ll do the same thing to the remaining WordPress blogs.</li>
<li>Joined <a href="http://www.myspace.com/" target="_blank">MySpace</a> so I can post to it through <a href="http://www.socialposter.com/" target="_blank">socialposter.com</a>.</li>

<li>Tried to monetize my RSS feed&#8230;I&#8217;ve been trying all day, with no success.</li>
<li>Joined <a href="http://www.bloggerschoiceawards.com/" target="_blank">bloggerschoiceawards.com</a> in order to vote for <a href="http://www.johnchow.com/" target="_blank">John Chow&#8217;s blog</a> as best blog.</li>

<li>Finally, did some research on a URL rewriting solution that does not require me to have access to the server&#8217;s console, because I don&#8217;t have that with my existing hosting service.  This will continue tomorrow&#8230;</li>

<div style="text-align: left;">OK&#8230;so I probably don&#8217;t need an additional monitor.  What I am thinking is that if I can win this <a href="http://www.johnchow.com/evil-blog-contest-win-a-24-wide-screen-lcd-monitor/">24″ wide screen LCD monitor</a>, I can probably get rid of the two small ones.  How am I going to do that, you ask?  I am entering a monitor contest over at <a href="http://www.johnchow.com/" target="_blank">John Chow dot Com</a>.  The contest sponsor is BlueFur, a hosting service which is <a href="http://www.bluefur.com/">hosting Canada</a> (and the rest of the world, for that matter).  To enter, all I have to do is write about the contest.  You are reading my entry.  John Chow not only helps me <a href="http://www.johnchow.com/make-money-online-recommended-money-makers/">make money</a>, he also helps me to feed my addiction to technology.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post contains <strong>FREE ADVICE</strong> for those of you wanting to start a blog.  Some of the information can also pertain to starting a new web site.</p>
<p>Yes, it does take a while to get a site going, but I believe it’s just a startup thing.  I think that once it catches, it will take off&#8230;like a virus, hence the term Viral.</p>
<p>This is a comprehensive and detailed list of site promotion tasks:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Load the Alexa Toolbar into Firefox and visit your site using Firefox</strong>:  Alexa rankings are driven by the users of the toolbar visiting web sites.  As you visit your site periodically, your ranking will go up.  That goes for anyone else visiting your site so it might even make sense for you to write a post encouraging your readers to use the <a href="http://www.alexa.com/site/download/" target="_blank">Alexa toolbar</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Comment on related blogs</strong>:  This will give you an immediate incoming link, which is what you want.  Leaving comments of substance on other people’s blogs is one of the primary ways of getting incoming links.  You may want to set up a schedule for this one.  Without a schedule, I’ll get caught up reading other people’s sites and I will end up not finishing my comments.  3 times a week (maybe Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) might work.  I put things like this on Outlook’s calendar.  You might be able to use Google Calendar.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>When creating posts, refer to other blogs (blog posts), and use the trackback link from that blog for the link to that blog</strong>.  A lot of times, when you are reading a post, at the bottom of that post, there is a link with the text &#8220;trackback&#8221;.  Right-click on that, and click &#8220;copy link location&#8221;.  This is what you want to use when pointing to that blog.  This will guarantee that their system will know you are pointing to them.  Doing this also creates a link on their site indicating that you are pointing to them.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Read, read, read</strong>:  This one is not directly related to site promotion, but reading will give you other ideas.  I suggest reading the RSS feeds of some SEO pros out there, such as <a title="cshel.com" href="http://www.cshel.com/" target="_blank">www.cshel.com</a>, <a title="Matt Cutts" href="http://www.mattcutts.com/" target="_blank">www.mattcutts.com</a> (although this gets a lot technical), <a title="SEOMOZ" href="http://www.seomoz.org/" target="_blank">www.seomoz.org</a>, etc.  Do a Google search for SEO export blog and subscribe to their RSS feeds using Google Reader.  <a title="Google Reader" href="http://reader.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Reader</a> is awesome for keeping track of RSS feeds.  You can also listen to the podcasts of the big SEO and Internet Marketing people.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Generate your own content as frequently and consistently as possible</strong>.  If you are blogging in advance, you can set the publish date on the post in the future and it won’t show up on your blog until that day.  I am currently 12 days ahead in posting on Spending Less 101.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Save future ideas as draft posts</strong>:  If you have blog ideas, but have not developed them into posts, put the title and any notes you have in WordPress and click “save” instead of “publish”.  This will create a draft.  Now the idea is in a safe place where you can expand on it or finish it anytime you want and it won’t be lost or forgotten.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Set up automated social bookmarking on WordPress</strong>:  I have only been able to find plug-ins to post to 3 of the many social bookmarking sites automatically.  I have them on my blog and they post to <a title="Del.icio.us" href="http://www.delicious.com/" target="_blank">delicious</a>, <a title="Simpy" href="http://www.simpy.com/" target="_blank">Simpy</a>, and Twitter.  I continue to look for this.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Submit your posts to social bookmarking sites</strong>:  A good way to do this is to use <a title="Social Poster" href="http://www.socialposter.com/" target="_blank">SocialPoster.com</a> or <a title="Social Marker" href="http://www.socialmarker.com/" target="_blank">SocialMarker.com</a>.  I am playing with the idea of purchasing <a href="http://www.infoproductpodcast.com/software/auto-social-poster-social-bookmarker-software/" target="_blank">Auto Social Poster</a>.  This will do all of that automatically.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Monetize Your Blog</strong>: Place ad zones on your site. You can do this using <a href="http://www.openx.org/download" target="_blank">OpenAds</a> or similar products.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Use <a title="EntreCard" href="http://www.entrecard.com/" target="_blank">EntreCard</a></strong>:  You know this one.  Drop, drop, drop&#8230;  300 per day, per site.  They use the credits to buy ads on other sites.  This will get you links on other related sites&#8230;even if it is temporary.  You can even use the credits to get people to comment on your blog through the EntreCard Shop.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Use various forms of media on your blog</strong>. You need video.  You can find something on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank">YouTube</a> and embed the code.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Submit your RSS feed to feed directories</strong>:  Do a Google search on RSS feed directory and submit your RSS feed to as many as you can stand to.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Submit your blog to blog directories</strong>:  Do a Google search on blog directories and submit your site to as many of those as possible.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Write Articles</strong>:  If you can write an article on a subject that is also related to your blog, do that.  The article should be at least 2000 words.  Don’t post this to your blog.  If you do and others also post it, it will get flagged as duplicate content.  Do a Google search for article directories and post to as many of those as you can stand.  You will include with your article, a resource box at the bottom, which contains a little information about you and a link to your blog.  When people use your content on their site, they have to include the resource box, which will link bank to your site.  Check out my articles on <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=John_A_Simpson" target="_blank">EzineArticles</a>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Enlist the help of others</strong>:  This includes all of your friends.  You can ask them to do things like:
<ul>
<li>Adding the Alexa toolbar to IE or Firefox (there is one for IE now).</li>
<li>Having them comment on posts that relate to them.</li>
<li>Promote your site by adding a link to their Facebook, MySpace, or other social networking account.</li>
<li>Subscribe to your RSS feed</li>
<li>Link to your site from their site(s), if they have a site</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Install a plug-in on your blog that will link to other posts within your blog</strong>:  This is basically the “If you liked this post, take a look at these” post.  There is a plug-in like that, but it only does it in random posts.  I found another one that does it in all posts.  I can show you the results and how to install it.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Use Social Networking heavily</strong>:  The reason all of my networks are large is because I see the value in networking with as many people as possible.  You should get as many people in your Facebook, LinkedIn, Stumble, etc., networks as possible.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Work less on the design and more on the content.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Submit your site to DMOZ.org</strong>:  This is big because this directory is used on tons of web sites.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Create A Site t-shirt</strong>:  Make a t-shirt with your site name on it and wear it often.  There are several places you can get this done, including <a href="http://www.customink.com/services/cheap-t-shirt-printing.htm" target="_blank">http://www.customink.com/services/cheap-t-shirt-printing.htm</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Once your site starts to go Viral, you won’t have to do as much promotion, but you will need to have consistent content.</p>
