iPhone Hard Reset

The iPhone hard reset is a built in tool which rectifies the majority of problems that occur on apple hand held devices.  The iPhone Hard Reset restores the default settings on your iPhone, iPad or iPod without removing your stored programs, applications or data and in some ways is a very similar process to restarting a PC after it crashes.  The iPhone Hard Reset is built into the iPhone OS software and as such is compatible with the iPhone 4, iPhone 3G and other older models.  The iPhone hard reset also works on most other portable apple devices including the iPad, iPad 2 and all versions of the iPod Touch.

Problems rectified using the iPhone Hard Reset

The iPhone hard reset can be used to turn on an iPhone, iPad or iPod that has been turned off and will not power up using the usual method of pressing the wake/sleep or home button.  If your apple device locks up or becomes unresponsive, the iPhone hard reset will power down the device safely, allowing it to be turned on normally.  Over time the iPhone like most devices, will lose performance, one example of this is that emails may take an extremely long time to open even if they are text only without attachments.  Performing the iPhone hard reset allows emails to be opened quickly, just like they did when the iPhone was brand new.

If you are having any problems with the screen acting like it is constantly being touched then give it a wipe with a lint-free cloth and complete the iPhone hard reset, this should return your apple device to normal operation.  As part of general maintenance I would recommend carrying out an iPhone hard reset every couple of weeks.

Directions for carrying out the iPhone Hard Reset

• Press the two physical buttons sleep/wake and the home button on the iPhone, holding them for approximately 10-20 seconds.
• After holding both buttons for approximately 5 seconds, the slide to power off button appears.  Ignore this and continue to hold the buttons for a few more seconds, the screen will then go blank.
• Continue to hold until the apple logo appears.  This may take longer on older devices (up to 30 seconds).
• The iPhone hard reset will now take place.

The Internet

The Internet is a very powerful resource used for pleasure, work and information.   In the last 15 years the Internet has exploded from 20 million to over 2 Billion users.  The Internet is a collection of websites interconnected via hyperlinks.  We navigate these websites using search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and many more.  Websites are displayed by the search engines when we type words into the search box.  The results show up in the SERP (Search Engine Results Page). The words typed into these search engines are called KEYWORDS.

Websites rely on visitors to be successful and the more visitors a website receives the more successful it becomes.  The potential customer base is everyone who uses the internet which is over 2 billion!  To reach as many of these people as possible a website must be optimized for specific targeted Keywords and show up as close to the number 1 position in the SERP as possible.

Why it is important to have the number 1 position in the SERP.

The traffic from any given Keyword is heavily biased towards the number one position in the Search rankings.  Here is a guide to the traffic share for each position in the SERP.  The vast majority of traffic goes to the number 1 position in the search engine results page.

• 1st = 42%
• 2nd = 12%
• 3rd = 9%
• 4th = 6%
• 5th = 5%
• 6th = 4%
• 7th = 3%
• 8th = 3%
• 9th =3%
• 10th = 3%

The rest are distributed among the other results.

Example of traffic based on search results

Lets look at two different keywords:  2nd hand mountain bikes and second hand mountain bikes. These are very similar search queries but each brings up different search results.

(I am not associated with these websites - this is just an example)

Using the data above which tells us the percentage of people that click on each search result we can analyze the results to estimate the the traffic each example receives.

Example 1 has the first place for “2nd hand Mountain bikes” whilst it is down in 8th place for “second hand mountain bikes”.

Example 2 comes in at 2nd and 3rd place for the respective Keywords.  You would think that example 2 would get more traffic then example 1 because 2nd and 3rd is better then 1st and 8th.  Due to the biased percentage of traffic each position receives this is not the case.  To simplify this example we assume that 1000 people search for each of the keywords: “2nd hand mountain bikes” and “second hand mountain bikes” every day.  The amount of traffic to each website based on the position is as follows.

• Example 1 receives 42% for being first and 3% for being 8th.  That’s 420 + 30 = 450 visitors per day.
• Example 2 receives 12% for second and 8% for third.  That’s a total of 120 + 80 = 200 visitors per day.

So, example 1 receives 250% more number of visitors than Example 2.

This demonstrates the importance of the number 1 spot in the SERP.

When adding content to a website it is important to target specific keywords that can be ranked number 1 and have a significant number of people searching for that Keyword.

How to find valuable Keywords

1. Target Market – Total number of people who search for that Keyword every day?
2. Competition – How many websites also have information about that keyword?
3. Commercial value – What is the dollar value of that keyword?
4. Relevancy – The relevance of this keyword to your website.

Market Samurai is primarily a keyword research tool that allows you to generate a list of up to 800 Keywords relevant to your Niche.  It analyses each keyword and provides you with a list of “Gold-Nugget” Keywords.  Keywords that are relevant to your site, have a high volume of search traffic, low competition and high market value.  You can evaluate these keywords further and compare the competition to make sure you dominate the market for that Keyword.

A Family fun day is a great way to keep your family happy.

Recently my wife and I decided that it would be a great idea to have regular family fun days.  As the name suggests, one day a week that we go out and do something fun as a family, our family fun day.  The Basic rules of the fun day are, each week a different person has to decide what the activity will be and they have to pay for it.  That person does not tell everyone else what we will be doing until the last minute.  This adds a little excitement to the family fun day.

Last night was my Family fun day – I decided we would go to the beach.

Before the family got home from School (My wife works at the school).   I started to make a packed lunch so we could have a picnic at the beach.  I made a couple of sandwiches and a hard boiled egg each, then grabbed us all a drink.  Picked up a few towels to throw in the back of the car and we’re ready to go.  The family comes home as I was finishing making the food and I get reminded that it is my day for family fun day.  There is an excitement in the house because they don’t yet know where we are going or what we are doing.  I was driving so before we left the only instructions were, everyone needed to bring a swim suit.

And to the Beach!

It didn’t take long before everyone had worked out our destination, so we drove to the beach at St. Armand’s Circle in Sarasota which is only about a 15 minute drive from our home.  Once we arrived we set up the big towel and ate the picnic that I had lovingly prepared.  I went into the sea with the girls and we played in the sand and generally had a really great time together.  We spend a good two hours or more at the beach and finally watched the sun setting over the sea which is always breathtaking.

Ice cream to end the perfect family fun day

For a perfect (and tasty!) end the family fun day we went to the ice cream shop and had a nice walk around St. Armand’s Circle.  We all had a really great night and I think we should all remember that it is so much more important to spend time with your children than it is to spend money on them.

About me

I guess this is a strange to write a post about family fun days on my website but I’ve decided that I wanted to create a blog.  What better way to start by talking a little bit about me, Paul Wright and something that I have done and enjoyed.  In future I will be talking about some of the things I am doing to create online income streams, how I go about it and what website resources I use to help me get there.  I am learning all the time and would like to share the information that I have gained with you and hopefully get some insight from other people about what they themselves are doing.
