Discovering How To Bid On Keywords

By Brian Basch

Always create your Google Adwords campaign ads around the correct keywords. This is the sensible thing to do and many marketers have been able to do this well. It is just a question of doing the right research to find productive keywords.

There is another important factor in your pay per click advertising campaigns that does not revolve around keywords. This is to do with the searchers themselves. They rarely look beyond the first 5-10 pages of their search results.

In order to be seen an ad must be positioned within the first 5-10 pages of the search results. How can you do this? By paying more money.

If you have figured out Google Adwords this section may be repetitive. However if you are new to this method of marketing this is important to know. Adwords can be thought of as a large auction. There are many people bidding on frequently searched keywords, but few on little known ones.

So be aware that you are not the only person utilizing a certain keyword. How can these search engines determine where to place an ad? Because Adwords works by pay per click the highest bidder on a key word will earn the rights to a top position. These high paid keywords are welcomed by the search engines and will always gain top positions.

All this keyword research takes time. It will necessitate some experimentation and you may suffer some losses as you try to find the ideal keyword. Bear in mind the average click to sales ratio is often around 10%. This means that there will be a fair amount of wasted clicks. Your budget and the actual cost of your product should be assessed, before you start to bid on keywords.

Nobody can deny the importance of keyword research but it is good to know that bidding is also significant. If you do not make sure your ad is in a good position you will not attract enough traffic to your ad, let alone sales. So make sure you fully comprehend the bidding process so that you can build a profitable campaign.

So when you create your Adword campaign be sure to remember these points. When you think about it you will be wasting a lot of time and money if your ad that you worked so hard on is not even being viewed. - 16651

The average person will sign their name millions of times in their life, and it's completely worthless in street value. However, if a celebrity autographs a poster, a book, or even something like a napkin or piece of garbage, it instantly becomes highly valuable.

Prices on items always vary when a celebrity has signed them. It all depends what kind or item it and of course who signed it? Not all signatures from celebrities have the same value as others.

For example, in the 90's, an autographed picture of New Kids on the Block would have been worth thousands. Now, even though they've made a come back, it might only be worth a few bucks to the dedicated fan that never gave up hope.

The Pirates of the Caribbean - Swashbuckling Good Fun

By Steve Collins

Whether it is Johnny Depp's famous portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, or Orlando Bloom's dashing Will Turner, the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN has quickly become an audience favorite. A story of love, family ties, and curses, the film deftly balances humor with edge-of-your-seat thrills. Entering the murky world of pirates will transport your and your family to faraway places lost to time and memory. The series of films has managed to win over audiences and critics alike.

The first in the series is THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, which is a haunted ship rumored to be crewed by the undead. Throughout the film, Captain Jack Sparrow is bent on regaining control of the craft. Along the way, he is joined (reluctantly) by Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan, played by Keira Knightley. Love is in the air even as the cannonballs sail through the air. What follows is a hilarious, well-scripted story that leaves your wanting to sail way on the Black Pearl.

The sequel, DEAD MAN'S CHEST, finds Jack Sparrow enslaved by the horrific pirate king, Davey Jones. Meanwhile, on the Black Pearl, Elizabeth and Will are in the midst of saying their vows when they are arrested for aiding Jack's escape. The race is soon on to see who can get a hold of the eerie compass in Sparrow's possession. This compass leads the holder to his or her heart's desire. For Lord Beckett that desire is to find Davy Jones's locker, for Will it is to find his father and for Captain Norrington, it is to excel his career. As you can imagine, the competition is fierce and the laughs non-stop.

The last installment of the trilogy, AT WORLD'S END, takes you to the place where Jack Sparrow has been imprisoned. Captain Barbossa has returned to lead the dejected friends of Sparrow on a rescue mission to the end of the world. The zenith of myth and legend come together in outstanding fashion. This film ties up all the loose ends of family, betrayal, and lost love in the usual, breathtaking way.

The conception of the film is based on the popular theme-park ride at Disney World and though the characters are indeed fictional, some of them are based on actual people and places. The Isla De Muerto or Island of Death is an actual island off the coast of Ecuador. Around 1680, the Santa Cruz sunk just off the coast taking with it tremendous sums of Spanish silver. The pirate Bartholomew Sharpe ran the ship onto the reef off Santa Clara Island, which was later nicknamed Isla De Muerto. Before he could steal the ship's treasure, her crew set her on fire and sunk the ship where it lay until it was recovered in 1997. It is easy to see the writers of this series knew their pirate lore. To get your copy of any or all of the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies visit Disney Movie Club online. - 16651

Tips for Finding Stylish Ladies Clothing Online

By Amy Nutt

When was the last time you battled your way through department store crowds just to find a nice outfit? The noise, the unhelpful staff, searching through racks and racks of clothing to find the right color and size ...it can be a bit overwhelming. And then you have the change rooms, tiny cubicles with doors that rarely stay shut, where you struggle to turn around without knocking your outfits from the dinky hooks on the wall. Store change rooms are often badly lit, as well, so what looks decent in the store might look hideous in the light of day.

It`s a pain to go shopping in a store, which is why more and more women are opting for the online method, instead.

Online shopping makes it very easy to choose what you like. You can search by color, so only your favorites come up, select the style and choose your size from a drop down menu. It`s a far sight easier than searching fruitlessly through racks and racks of dresses only to discover they don`t have your size.

If looking for ladies clothing online seems a bit intimidating, don`t worry. It`s not difficult if you know how and there are some techniques that can actually help you find the right clothing faster.

- Know your style. Do you look better with fitted jeans or flared? Halter top dresses or A-line? Having a clear idea of what you look best in will help you find the right outfit. To help you out, some websites even offer a virtual model that you can customize to your body shape and size and even put your own face on. This can be helpful to see which styles look best on your body type.

- Search specifically for your size range. If you`re petite, look for dresses that are smaller and for plus sizes, be sure to add this to your search. It will eliminate the frustration of finding the perfect blouse, only to discover that it`s only available in sizes that wouldn`t fit you.

- Consider color matching. If you are on a budget or just don`t want the hassle of searching your closet for something to go with your plaid shirt, try choosing a handful of complimentary colors and a couple of accents and base your clothing searches and purchases on those.

- Look for coupon codes. When you find ladies clothing that you like, take a moment to do a coupon code search for that store. You can often save 10-15% simply by inputting a special code when you`re checking out.

- Opt for stores that let you return clothing. This way, you can receive the outfit, try it on in the comfort of your own home, get the opinions of friends and family, if you like and should things not work out . . . just send it back. It`s a hassle free way to check out your clothing and allows you to take your time trying on the clothing. There isn`t any line outside the door and you have plenty of space to change.

Online shopping for ladies clothing is easier these days than ever before. Nearly every store that you would normally shop at in the real world is available online and you`ll be able to take your time browsing, no commute to worry about! With all the advantages, it`s definitely worth doing your shopping online at home, any time of day or night and without all the crowds. - 16651

Ditch your glasses for Contact Lenses

By Spanky Jones

Leonardo Da Vinci had a vision. His insight was for improved vision for people with less than perfect sight. He delved into the science of light and sight and devised a solution to eye defects. What was that science? How did Da Vinci come up with those conclusions? How did he envision the contact lens? We'll answer those questions here with a look at how contact lenses work.

Perfect vision occurs when light rays converge at a point directly on the retina (the back of the eyeball). If light rays fail to hit that point at exactly the same point, then vision becomes blurry. So the purpose of corrective lenses is to refocus light rays so they do converge at that point on the retina.

There are a number of common eye, or vision defects. Two of the most common are myopia, or short-sightedness, and hyperopia, or long-sightedness. People with myopia can see clearly up close but not at a distance. Those with hyperopia see better at a distance than close up and sometimes experience difficulty bringing their vision into sharp, clear focus.

A couple of other well-known irregular eye conditions are astigmatism and presbyopia. A person with astigmatism has an irregularly-shaped cornea, which causes light images to focus on two separate points in the eye. Presbyopia is commonly known as an "ageing eye". In this condition the eye loses its ability to shift focus between far and near objects. An example of difficulty caused by this condition is shifting focus between the road and the speedometer while driving.

So these are the problems that could arise with someone's sight. However, with advancing contact lens technology, most common vision conditions can be treated with contact lenses, and in the last few years, many more options have been made available for treating each kind of problem.

Contact lenses are small, thin transparent discs, designed to sit on your cornea and correct your vision. You'd think that something that just rests on top of your eye would fall out, but not so. The moisture in your eyes acts as an adhesive, keeping the lenses in place.

The actual shape of your contact lenses is determined by the actual shape of your eye. Of course, they have to be uniform, if the lens is to stay in place. So the inner surface of the lens is fit to the shape of your eye.

The purpose of contact lenses is the same as eyeglasses - to correct vision defects. Many people find wearing eyeglasses a problem. Removing them and putting them on constantly throughout the day, as well as having them slide down their nose or fogging up in the wintertime, can be most frustrating. But with the creation of the contact lens, people could have the vision correction they needed without the hassle of eyeglasses.

In the beginning, the first modern-day contact lenses were made of hard plastic, which was hard on the eyes and required a lot of maintenance to prevent irritation of the eye. A saline solution was applied frequently to keep the eyes moist.

Then came the development of soft flexible contact lenses. The range of possibilities expanded.

Soft contact lenses are made from a gel-like plastic that contains from a good percentage of water. Being softer, they're more comfortable. And they last longer, too, some for up to a year with proper care.

Contact lens use is widespread these days. The industry is creating more and more different types and uses of contact lenses. Check with your ophthalmologist or optometrist to see which contact lens is best for your lifestyle!

Contact lenses! Would you believe, way back in 1508, Leonardo Da Vinci sketched and described several forms of contact lenses?

Although the idea of contact lenses had been developed, the technology had not. Step by step, the process was built through the years, from spectacles to today's contact lenses. Let's look at each of those steps.

1632 - A French philosopher, Ren Descartes, added to his deep reasonings, the idea of a corneal contact lens. 1704 - A French surgeon, Jean Mry, presented a paper to the French Royal Academy of Sciences, reporting that, by submerging the head of a living cat in water, the irregularities of the surface of the cornea were flattened by the water. We're not sure how he came up with this idea - and we may not want to know! However, the discovery here was that the living eye could be neutralized, or corrected, and that is an essential part of optical contact systems. 1801 - Thomas Young, with his medical education, did experiments with light and glass. His conclusion resulted in the development of Descartes idea - a -inch long, water-filled glass tube, which contained a microscopic lens at the outer end. He used this to correct his own vision. 1827 - An English astronomer, Sir John Herschel, introduced the idea of grinding a contact lens to conform exactly to the eye's surface. 1887 - A German glassblower, F.E. Muller, manifested Sir John Herschel's idea into an actual glass lens that covered the entire eye. 1888 - A. Eugen Fick, a Swiss physician, and Edouard Kalt, a French optician, simultaneously, but independently, used contact lenses to correct optical defects.

A number of years went by until the technology was developed to create the contact lenses as we know them today. But finally, in 1929, a physician, perfected a method of making molds of living eyes and using them to form lenses that fit exactly to the shape of the eye.

Then the United States got into the act - the first hard plastic contact lenses made in America and they were quite bothersome and could only be tolerated for about 4 hours at which point they had to be removed to replace the saline solution that filled the space between the eye and the lens.

As time progressed, so did the science of contact lenses. 1950 marked the beginning of the modern-day contact lens. A buffer solution was no longer needed, so the lenses could be worn all day.

Up to this point, contact lenses had been made of hard plastic. Then, in 1960, a change came - the soft, water-absorbing plastic contact lens and it was so inexpensive that he envisioned they could be worn on a disposable basis.

Nearly every year, there was a new development since 1971 and here's how fast technology was developing new creations:

1978 - toric contact lens ( for astigmatism) 1979 - rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens 1980 - tinted daily-wear soft contact lens 1981 - extended-wear soft contact lens 1982 - bifocal daily-wear soft contact lens 1983 - tinted RGP contact lens 1986 - extended-wear RGP contact lens 1987 - disposable soft contact lens 1987 - soft contact lens that changes eye color 1987 - multipurpose lens care products 1991 - planned replacement contact lens 1991 - daily-wear 2-week replacement contact lens 1992 - disposable tinted contact lens 1995 - daily disposable contact lens 1995 - RGP contact lens with low silicone content 1996 - disposable contact lens with ultra-violet absorber

There are a number of different types of soft contact lenses. Here are some of the most common:

Disposable lenses - replaced every day, every few weeks or every few months Daily-wear lenses - removed nightly Oxygen permeables (RPGs) - transmit oxygen; they don't contain water, so they resist deposits and bacteria Color-tinted lenses - change the natural eye color Disposable contact lenses with ultra-violet absorber - protects against the sun's harmful ultra-violet rays. These are the most common types of contact lenses. There are also some specialty contact lenses used for special effects in movies. As time goes on, there'll be many more...Do the research! - 16651

Canon Camera Basic Guide Flash metering - E-TTL system

By Tim Harris

Otherwise known as the Evaluative Through the Lens System, the E-TTL system was introduced in 1995 with the debut of the Canon Elan II/50 Camera. Even if the metering process is still done through the lens of the Camera, the E-TTL system is a more advanced system and operates on dissimilar system to that of the TTL system. In addition, the E-TTL system is not backward compatible. The E-TTL system functions by firing a pre-flash, whose brightness is known, from the flash unit to ascertain the exact level of flash exposure. This is achieved by measuring the pre-flash light which is reflected off from the scene. The camera then calculate the correct flash pulse to get a mid tone level on the subject.

The E-TTL is more advanced than the TTL or A-TTL system because the algorithm of the E-TTL system is able to fill flash daylight photos better. It is also connected to the auto focus point and as such the exposure result is better and finer grained than the multiple zoned TTL flash system. Currently the system is supported by all late model Canon EOS film cameras and the digital range after the introduction of the Canon D30. The progression of the operation of the E-TTL system is as follows:

Once the shutter button is depressed halfway the ambient light metering process runs it normal course of operation. Aperture size and Shutter speed are programmed by the user or camera depending on which mode the camera is operating under. After the shutter button is press down all the way, the camera fires a pre-flash from the flash unit. The light which is reflected of the scene is then measured by the metering system to ascertain the right power output for the actual flash pulse to get the correct exposure level.

Auto filled reduction is applied if the photo taking operations occurs under bright lighting conditions. With the auto filled reduction process, flashlight output can be reduced by 0.5 to 2 stops. The mirror then flips up and while at the same time the shutter opens exposing the film or sensor element if it is a digital camera. The shutter then remains open during the entire time of the shutter speed. After this, the shutter will close and the mirror will down back to its original position. If the camera has a LED light confirming the flash exposure, then it will light up if the metering process is successful.

However the main disadvantage of the E- TTL system is the fact that the pre-flash can cause those who blink quickly to be photograph while in mid blink. The problem is compounded when one uses the second curtain sync with a slow shutter speed. One way to overcome this problem is to fire the pre-flash first, then wait momentarily before actually firing the main flash pulse. Of course you must not forget to forewarn the subjects incase they think that the actual photograph has been taken when you fire the pre-flash. - 16651

An all-natural Acne Treatment That Work!

By Tom Mulligan

If you suffer from acne, please allow us the opportunity to show you how perfectly natural treatments can cure your problem and leave you with wonderfully clear skin. It really isn't necessary to live with acne, nor is it necessary to live with the embarrassment it often causes.

We hear complaints about the acne products that are found in the drugstore all the time. The reason for this is simple - they don't work!

If one takes a minute to think about, it's really obvious why all these treatments fail to work. They're designed to combat each pimple one at a time instead of treating the cause behind it. To effectively cure acne, one has to target the cause - the actual root of the problem.

It's hardly surprising then that so many sufferers become disheartened and many even resort to prescription medication. When one considers that there are perfectly natural cures which treat the root cause and result in perfectly clear skin, it becomes apparent why the risks of possible drug related side effects are so unnecessary.

Let's quickly go over the main causes of pimples. They are: excess oil on the skin, clogged up skin pores, inflammation or irritation of the skin and certain types of bacteria on the skin. You have to treat all of these causes in order to be able to say goodbye to your acne.

The most effective treatments on the market today consist of a combination of products. When used in conjunction with each other the combined effect provides a successful cure. These treatments work as a full battle plan and will often involve a dedicated facial wash as well as a moisturizer and a specific spot cream.

A lot of people are surprised by how simplistic this advice is. It makes a great deal of sense, but sadly 95% of the acne products out there ignore this fact. I imagine they want to make a product that doesn't work quite good enough so that people continue to but it over and over again.

Investment in the life insurance polices is a must for everyone.

By Todd Martin

Today further planning has become very important for all of us. With the rising demands of our children and even the rising expenses we ought to think about the future of our children as well as our selves. It is for all time a wise and a good decision to switch on to the new types of challenges and accept them and get achievements in our life for a better tomorrow. Nowadays there are many ways which we can think to secure our future and the life insurance policies like term life insurance are some of them.

If we are passionate of whatever we are doing, then it is equally important that we take out some time to get or to buy some good policy for the safety of our family and their future. Whenever we are deciding to invest in any of the life insurance policy, then we can meet any agent of the same and he will guide us towards the right purchase of the policy which will actually fit into our budget. But while discussing with him/her we have to have freedom of thought and we should ask him all the questions which arise in our mind before investing in the particular policy. We can even express our ideas to them and then take the decision.

My brother had invested in the universal life insurance policy so that his family would not have to suffer in any ways even if he is there with them or no in the future. He is a diabetic patient as well as a heart patient. He had already got 2 heart attacks and now the doctors had advised him to take rest as far as possible and that he should not take any stress. He has to be mentally and physically relaxed. But before all these misfortunes could gear him up he had already invested in the health insurance policy and the universal life insurance policy.

Indeed he had taken the right decision at the right time and now all his medical expenses were carried by the life insurance company because he had also bought the health insurance policy earlier. This is was a good benefit for him and as the doctors had advised him for rest he could even not work much. But he was mentally in peace that he had already saved and invested enough for his family and that they could enjoy all the comforts which he had given them now even after his death.

We were not very rich and could hardly earn so that we could take care of only our present expenses. But my friend insisted me to save at least a small part of my earnings for the future. He told me to start with a small amount and then gradually when I felt that I could spare some amount for the payment of the premiums easily, then I should go in for another policy. This way my friends advised and I agreed and told him that I will try the same. I invested in the variable universal life insurance because I felt that this was a good policy and I could invest the minimum amount in it. - 16651

Spruce Up Your Old Outfits with These 7 Fashion Tips

By Tessa W. Adachi

We all know how it is - your old outfits are getting a little dull and you're starting to think it's about time to go shopping to update your wardrobe. Before you do, try these seven tips - you can actually give your old wardrobe an entirely new look with these seven easy tips; best of all, you can do this with little or no money.

1. While fitted waists may be the thing at the moment, a lot of women steer clear of them since they fear that these garments will make them look bigger. It's actually quite the opposite - fitted waists flatter your figure; it is loose garments which can make you look heavier. Try taking a scarf, a belt or even a necklace and making a belt for some of those loose fitting garments - looks better, doesn't it?

2. Scarves are a great accessory - they can draw attention to your face and decorate the neck of your outfit. Use a scarf which adds a little colour in a complimentary manner to your outfit. For example, a gray dress works well with a green, blue or yellow scarf to add a splash of colour. Try knotting the scarf or using a decorative pin to secure it for even more added appeal.

3. You can use old costume beaded necklaces to add zip to your blouses and sweaters, mix and match them in unusual combinations. You can even use these beads and hot glue them in patterns to sweaters, vests, and blouses to create new styles and looks. Many of these pieces of costume jewellery can add just the right fashion splash to take a dreary and boring black sweater to new heights. Let your imagination lead you or look at some of the latest catwalk photos for inspiration and design ideas.

4. Try mixing textures and fabrics for some original looks. Tweeds can go with leather and silks to add a new feel and high fashion appeal to many outfit combinations. Remember that today many of the older fashion rules no longer exist, so play with your clothing and experiment with different and unusual combinations of tops and bottoms as well as a mixture of fabric materials.

5. One of the least expensive and simplest ways to change the look of your old clothing is to dye them different colours.

6. Add feathers, fake fur, or leather trim to pockets, collars, and waistbands and see how they add spice to certain garments that you may already own. Hats are great fashion statements and you can find one that will give a totally new look to any of your older outfits.

7. Have a look through your closets and pull out the clothes which fit you best. These will be the basis of your new look for the season. If these clothes are solid dark colours, then look for brightly coloured accents and accessories to enliven them with. While monotones can look great sometimes, there are almost always better with a colourful accent like a bright scarf or sparkly pin.

You should always remember that fashions and styles are continually changing and you can look at some of the latest fashion magazines to see what older looks are 'in' again.

The time and effort needed to put these tips to use in creating a whole new look out of the clothes you already have is well worth it. You can have a great and individual style while keeping your spending to an absolute minimum. - 16651

Make More Money From Article Marketing With More Click Throughs

By Neeraj Varma

You will make more money from your efforts with this series of 25 articles.

Lots of courses on article marketing exist in the market, but they don't show you the money-making part of the business. You need to know how to get people to click on the link to your website or affiliate program.

You will often find advice like "you should never say everything" and "leave out crucial details so they have to go to your link to ge the answers", etc.

That sounds o.k. when you are reading it, but when it comes to actually writing the article you need something more specific.

I'm sure there must be proven techniques to get people to click on the link in the resource box. Unfortunately, the people who write these courses must think everyone knows what to do...

Most of the articles in article directories are junk. They just fill up space with words without providing any useful information, they don't provoke thinking or get you curious to find out more. Nothing. Most articles do nothing to get the reader to take action.

You'll learn exactly what works and what doesn't in this series of articles. Here are some examples of the kinds of topics you will see:

* How To Plan Out The Goal Of Your Article So You Get The Click

* Learn To Attract Attention So The Search Engines Send Lots Of Traffic To Your Article

* Get The Attention Of Your Target Market To Your Article

* Specific Techniques To Arouse Interest Interest In Your Subject So Your Reader Is Almost Hypnotized By Your Words

* Establish A Solid Base Of Credibility So Your Reader WANTS To Follow Your Suggestions To Click Your Web-Link

* Learn How To Provide So Much Value In Your Article That The Reader Feels Obligated To Give Back By Clicking On Your Link

* Learn All The Ins And Outs Of Selecting The Right Keyword For Your Article Marketing

* Learn To Research Your Topic To Find The Gem Of Information That Will Make Your Reader Forever Grateful To You

Some of these topics are similar to what you will find in copywriting courses. But article writing is a little different from writing a sales letter. There are certain copywriting principles that can be applied to article marketing but with a little modification.

You'll be happy to know that once you learn these "Click-Inducing" principles you can apply them to any subject. - 16651

Article Marketing - A Simply But Powerful Promotion Skill

By Theo McLanahan

Article marketing is a valuable method of getting traffic to your website. In case you're not familiar with it, article marketing is basically the process of writing articles and submitting them, along with links back to your website, to article reprint directories on the internet.

You're probably quite aware of the value of having fresh content on your website and blog. Many people who own websites visit article reprint directories on a regular basis to get new content for their sites.

When you submit your article to these directories, you're giving permission for other people to use your article on their site - for free. The catch is, they have to include an "about the author" section at the end of each article they use. This can include information about your website and links back to it.

When your article gets used on someone's website, everyone who reads the article sees your author bio and the links back to your website. A good article can wind up on hundreds of websites, where many people can read it. And how many of those people could click your link and visit your website?

These article directories are easy to find. Just do a Google search for free article directories and you'll find a bunch. Some of them are specific to certain topics, while others will accept articles on almost any subject. You can submit your article to multiple directories and you can even get software that will automate the process for you.

You have virtually unlimited topics to write about. What is your website about? Get creative in thinking up topics. If someone would want to visit your website to learn something, write an article about that.

For example, if you sell Tupperware you could write an article about food related topics or even about the fact that you can use those plastic containers for organizing toys, bathroom items or even screws and bolts in the garage.

If you don't like writing, it's not the end of the world. You can hire ghostwriters to write the articles for you, for anywhere from $5 to $20 for a 500 word article. Once you give the ghostwriter the topic and any keywords you want to target, they'll do all the writing for you. And some will even do the submission to the article directories so you can spend your time on other tasks. - 16651

With Comcast, Things Keep Getting Better All The Time

By Dawn Amerson

Continuous improvement is a noble goal, but one that many companies have trouble meeting. It is easy to make some improvements and then stagnate for a while, but it is very difficult to continuously figure out ways to make a service better or to offer newer and better products to a customer. Among the few companies that have figured out how to make continuous improvement part of their company's policy is Comcast. Comcast has an impressive record of getting new technologies to its customers very quickly and figuring out ways to improve an already impressive service.

As a Comcast customer, you will find that the improvements that are frequently made all help to improve the quality of your services. As technology changes or new ideas are generated that help figure out better ways of performing a service, you will quickly be able to experience the change. This makes it possible for you to always have the most advanced service, even during times when technology is changing rapidly, such as right now.

Comcast's commitment to improvement is evident in its cable television services. Just a couple of years ago customers would have had access only to a couple hundred analog channels and no high definition television. However, as technology has advanced, Comcast has also advanced. Now every channel is digital and all programming packages come with digital receivers. Programming packages have also gotten larger, and HDTV and other specialized equipment is readily available.

One of the most interesting improvements in the company's cable television service has been the addition of On Demand programming. The popularity of the DVR (which the company also offers) proves that people really want to be able to watch programming when it best suits them. Therefore, Comcast has created an entire array of programming that can be viewed at any time. Much like having a video library at home, the On Demand selection gives you the opportunity to choose the way you'd like to watch the movie or show. Because this service has been so popular, the company has even introduced a special Premiums On Demand, which takes the best of the premium movie channels and makes it more accessible.

Of course, Comcast's switch to digital television has also been a big and important change. Not only has this increased the quality of the broadcasts, but it makes it possible for you to get a lot more benefits from your subscription. For example, you now get an on screen program guide with every programming package and you get digital music channels. You also get the opportunity to view HDTV programming if you have the right equipment.

Comcast has also improved upon existing telephone and Internet services by offering new services that exceed the quality of all others. The Digital Voice telephone service has created a new standard for phone service- one that includes all long distance charges and a wide variety of calling features for a set low monthly price. And the high speed Internet service has created new residential home Internet speed records. With speed up to 12 times as fast as dial up, broadband cable Internet is a vast improvement over any other Internet service. Even though this Internet service is the best in the nation, Comcast has even found a way to improve upon it. Though new technology, you can now enjoy PowerBoost to give you even more speed during large downloads.

Put a company with a commitment to improvements behind you by letting Comcast improve your telecommunications services. - 16651

Cold Calling Mistakes - 8 Tips To NOT Do!

By Brian McCoy

1) Understand The Call Goal

Before you even pick up the phone, you need to have a clear idea of your intention and goal for the call. Do you have a direction that you want your prospect to head in after speaking to you? If you do not have a vision for your call, you are unlikely to achieve the end result that you want.

2) Don't Give It All Away Too Fast

When your prospect says, "Send me some information," that does not translate into them reading that information. Do not oblige them and send information just as a means to get off of the phone. Find out if they really want the information, or if they are just trying to get rid of you.

3) Bad Phone Manners

We all know what good etiquette is, but sometimes we don't even realize when we're not following it. Avoid smacking your gum, eating, multi-tasking, or having distractions in the background while you're making calls. Not only will it be distracting to the prospect, but also to you.

4) Not Listening To Your Prospect

If you are struggling to get a read on your prospect, just listen to them. It is easy to monopolize a conversation without even knowing that you are doing it. To get the best insight into your prospect, listen to them. If you don't, you are unlikely to be successful.

5) Avoid Making Your Fears Theirs

Just because your client is busy at the moment does not mean that they do not ever want to talk to you. Do not read negativity into somewhere that it is not. Just because you are afraid that they don't want to talk to you, doesn't mean that they don't.

6) Not Asking Enough Questions

To find out what you need to know about your prospects, it is critical that you ask enough questions so that you can qualify them. Everyone loves to talk about their own life experiences, their family, and other things that interest them. By asking the right questions, you will build rapport and show interest in what is important to them.

7) Be Prepared

You would not go into an important presentation and wing it, and the phone is no different. Spend some time role playing with a friend or your spouse. You want to grab your prospect's attention, not turn them off with you stumbling over your words.

8) Ask For It

You want to compel your prospect to action. It's not good enough to tell them, you want them to do their due diligence and look into what you're telling them. If you ask them to do something for you, then you have an opportunity to follow up with them and make sure that they did what you requested of them. - 16651

How do You Hang Posters in a Display Booth

By Amy Nutt

When you own a business, setting up a trade show booth at a convention or a trade show can be a great way to sell and showcase your products. Why would you want to set up a trade show booth? Well, it's because doing so is a great way for you to get new customers. You create leads and you get your company's name out there for people to see and recognize. In the meantime, you're doing something that they remember such as giving away free items, conducting contests, and playing games. But you have to bring attention to your display booth before people will take the time to stop by. Using hanging displays in your exhibit booth is one way to do that.

Hanging posters

There are several ways in which you can hang posters in a display booth. First of all, you can get a screen to place in the background. These screens allow you to hang signs posters, and other types of media. However, you do have to have something such as a snap frame to keep the poster from curling up. This also keeps you from having to attach the poster at all corners. A snap frame allows you to attach the poster in one or two places.

You an also look into easels. You can place your posters in frames and set them up on easels in front of your display booth. Then again, you can get tabletop easels and let them sit on top of your table. The only downfall to that is the fact that they may be too large. When they are too large, they can cover up your product or place a barrier between you and the customer.

If it is allowed, you may be able to hang your posters from the rafters of the building you are in. That is if you are in a building. Some trade shows are held outside, so that can make this a bit difficult. However, inside it can be quite beneficial, especially if your posters are large enough to see from across the arena. If they are not large enough to see from across the arena, you may find that hanging them from the ceiling is something that will not work out too well.

Whatever you do, make sure that you keep them as close to eye level as possible. Now hanging from the ceiling is not eye level, but people will see them from far away. It has something to do with how we look at things from a distance, which is why there are many who will take advantage of the ceiling if they can.

Placement is key

Just know that placement is key when it comes to hanging posters on and around your trade show display. You have to make sure your posters are seen, but you need to ensure they are not covering up anything important. You have to make sure they are attractive enough to get your trade show display the attention that it deserves. Something that is dull and dingy is not going to get the attention that you wish to have. You want something that represents you and will leave a lasting impression. Nevertheless, you don't want to be annoyingly loud.

So if you're looking for a great way to bring attention to your trade show display rental, posters are a great way to do that. How the posters are displayed will make an impact because people respond to placement and display method. Never hang a poster without some sort of framing because it can roll, wrinkle, and so much more. - 16651

"Why would you want to learn the Cisco router? I'll tell you what happened to me... I went from making $8.00 per hour to $30.00 per hour just by having some basic Cisco Router knowledge!!

Actually, I got pretty lucky... Let me take you back to the early 90's. I had been doing very basic desktop support and some light Windows NT Administration and one day the main Network Engineer of the company I worked for got in a fight with the boss and he walked out!

My boss was really desperate yet he knew that I had interest in learning Cisco Routers so he sent me to a 5 day Introduction to Cisco Routers course. I am so glad this company was willing to drop $2000 for this course, but I admit that is a HUGE price tag to learn the fundamentals of the Cisco Router. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't complaining.

$30.00 per hour in the early to mid 90's was a great starting point. I didn't stop there... I kept learning and growing and ultimately started my own IT Consulting company and now charge at least $100 per hour for Cisco Router consulting.

The main point I want to make is this, not everyone has opporunities fall in their lap for a company to drop $2000 for a basic Cisco Router course. I know that. So what I decided to do was put together the absolute fundamentals that any person needing to learn the Cisco Router needs into one easy to read package at a very affordable price.

Let's face it, knowledge is power! The choice is yours on what you do with valuable information as it becomes available to you. This is valuable information!

Another point I want to make and I'll be very blunt and upfront about it. Network Engineers with Cisco Router experience make good money! Click here now!

I enjoy helping people grow and learn. I wrote another ebook called PIX/ASA Firewall Keys which has helped catapult many people into greater understanding of the PIX Firewall, and with that comes greater income.

One of the main things I kept hearing from those who read PIX/ASA Firewall Keys was the request to come up with a very basic guide to the Cisco Router, taught in the same down to earth style. So here it is!

This tutorial is going to teach you the foundation that you need to know to make it with the Cisco Router. Once you understand and grasp these concepts you can go on to more advanced routing tutorials.

Of all the comments I get from the readers of my tutorials and ebooks there is one common thing that stands out and this is one that I take great pride in - it is that I can break down these concepts in a very simple, down to earth and straightforward way."

Youtube Video Marketing

By Scott S.

This is a guide I thought I would write after thinking a little while about all of the blackhat video marketing techniques that are out there. If you haven't already heard of these methods, then for a short explanation: You download videos, watermark them with the url of your site, re-upload them to youtube and other video sites. None of that is realy too blackhat though, and this method isn't very black hat either. In fact, this method is totally whitehat, until the end when you'll have the opportunity to choose between blackhat and whitehat traffic. This isn't a new method, this is just an under saturated area for marketers to use right now.

1. Write a how-to article and post it on your blog. (You could just make a video from scratch and put that on your blog but that's not very smart)

For example; How to fix your xbox, how to neuter your dog, how to cheat on your wife and get away with it, or etc...

Then you'll want to add a bunch of adsense and affiliate links to your blog, or just use a landing page. The more visitors you get from your video, the more money you'll make in theory.

2. Tape yourself or your computer as you do the task that you are trying to teach people about. If I were to make a video for this article I would just show my screen as I viewed the article.. boring, but it works.

To video tape your screen you could use hypercam, camtasia, camstudio, fraps, or etc

3. Once your done instructing people to do stuff in your video, open it up in a video editor like Windows Movie Maker. Of course if you have a mac you'll have to use something else, and there are almost hundreds of options out there.

4. Now that you have the program open in your video editor you can narrate the video if you haven't already. What I would do is read the article I wrote to correspond to what you're doing int he video. You can add annotations and links in your description on youtube, and other video sites.

5. Add the url of your website as a subtitle on your video. This way people will know where the video came from no matter how it is shared. You can include direct links to your website or blog post in the description of your video also.

6. Now is when you decide whether or not to promote your videos with blackhat methods. Depending on the quality of your videos, blackhat might be the only way to get a good view count.

This is an easy way to get lot's of visitors to your site or affiliate landing page with just a little bit of work. If you keep at it you could be getting thousands of visitors to your site each day without any problems. - 16651

SX110IS Review

By Ryan Alberts

I have had the Canon SX110IS for almost a calendar month, and I highly advocate it. It is a bit larger, but it just makes up for it with the 10x zoom. It's not an SLR, the photographic camera comes with feature a full non-automatic style where you can determine focusing, aperture, and exposure time. The digital image stabilization does a good job of preventing your images blur-free too.

The feature that caused me buy SX110IS was its image stabilization system. Friends who use digital cameras professionally all told me that Canons optical image stabilised zoom scheme was the most serious in its price array. Due to a slowly worsening quake, this has became an essential issue.

The digital zoom is surprisingly effective. Recently, I caught a game and my seat was actually far. From that length, I was effective to take photographs of players at bat, that caught close facial features. I was even capable to get many very decent pictures of players in action.

From a 10x visual zoom lens to advanced Canon technology that automatically makes you the best shot, the 9.0-megapixel SX110 IS packs astonishing respect.

Solid picture character for a compact camera, lens corner to corner acuteness, minimum colour fringing, and detail vs noise tradeoff are all greater than other cameras in its class.

3 inch LCD screen with 230k resolution, common specs for fresh generation cameras today. Viewable from a great angle, and acquirable in shining beaming conditions.

The software user interface is out-of-date and unintuitive sometimes. Turning auto ISO shift on should automatically transfer the ISO, not expecting the pressure of the "print" button after half pushing the shutter. Some of the characteristics require a lot of button pushes. Also auto-power off mode only lets option of off or 3 mins, and lens retract in playback is either prompt or 1 min, there should be values in between.

The photographic camera settings are easy to apply, and equally easy to access. The Auto placing is somewhat moron proof and makes a solid job under a large variety of conditions. I found the SX110 to be great, well constructed yet still small enough to fit into a laptop carrying bag.

I never guessed that I would buy anything other than a Nikon, just today I think this was one of the greatest buys that I have made in a long time. It presents on its promises, creating images whose quality competitors those of much more expensive digital photographic cameras. - 16651

How to use DVD shrink to make perfect copies

DVD Shrink can be termed a DVD burning application that we use to copy movies and it comes for free. This software program is used almost exclusively for this purpose. There are certain reasons for which we require DVD shrink. Not all the regular DVD movies fit into the usual 4.7 GB disc. We therefore should know how to use DVD shrink. The DVD shrink is used to reduce the size of the contents so that they fit into the disk.

Once you have installed the DVD shrink software, you will realize that you need certain things like the DVD burner, DVD shrink programs, DVD movie backup, and a blank DVD. There is also the need for DVD burning program Nero. If you want to learn how to use DVD shrink, you will have to follow some steps. So, the first step in the method of how to use DVD shrink is to procure all these associate things.

The method of how to use DVD shrink involves certain steps. The first step is to start DVD Shrink and select the 'Open Disc' option. You will now see a box. So, the second step is to choose the DVD drive with your disk. You will see the DVD name in brackets. The third step is to press the OK button and read the DVD. I in the right hand column you will see the movie breakdown list.

As you cannot fit all this on your blank DVD, you now have to press Re-author option in the top menu. There is an option ' main movie' in the right hand column. There will be a file under this option. This file has to be dragged to the left column. The size of the file is normally more than 4700 MB and needs compression. These are some of the basic methods of how to use DVD shrink.

The Shrink software usually compresses the movie and copies it in the new DVD without the encumbrances that accompanies it like foreign language subtitles, etc. You need to select 'back up' option in top menu.

If you have installed Nero on your computer, then you can burn the movie to any blank DVD with the Shrink DVD software. It is very easy to use the DVD shrink software because you can do the whole task by just following the instructions. When the Nero is not installed, Shrink DVD will make an image file for the DVD so that you can burn it later. The next step is to choose a target for backup. If the Nero is installed, the burner can be the target for selection. In the absence of Nero, you can select any file location. As soon as you press OK, the process will begin.

For better quality, you have to click the 'perform deep analysis' button in the 'quality settings tab' option. Once you click this, it ensures better quality of DVDs. However, you must know that if the DVD to copy contains data below 4.7 GB, you really do not require the DVD Shrink. But, there is no harm in learning to use DVD shrink because it gives you opportunity to make copies of even those DVDs, which are larger than that 4.7 GB limit.

To figure out the size of the DVD, you just have to click on 'my computer', then right click the disk option, and select properties. You can then decide whether to use the DVD shrink program depending on the size of the DVD to be copied. - 16651

Diamond Flower Earrings Are Fun Jewelry

By Elias Riftinger

Marilyn Monroe had it right when she sang "Diamonds are a girl's best friend." But why not go one better and give her diamonds and flowers all at once?

Diamond flower earrings are a great gift idea for any woman. They are at once flirty and elegant. They can be worn with jeans on a day in the country or with the most elegant of gowns at a ball.

Diamond flower earrings are available in a variety of metals. Platinum, of course, is the most expensive. Gold is the most popular though, because it is found in so many colors, from yellow to white and even rose. Sterling silver is also a popular option. Sometimes the metals can be paired for a really versatile look.

Likewise the diamonds can be paired with birthstones. If the occasion is a patriotic affair, team up the diamonds with sapphires and rubies, whether real or synthetic. The diamonds can be the center with the other gems forming the petals or vice versa. Or, the diamonds can be star-like accents around the flower shape. There really is no limit as to the style possibilities in this jewelry from earrings to engagement rings.

Synthetic stones are one way to give a lovely gift while keeping the price down. Diamond flower earrings don't have to break the budget. Likewise, use a less expensive metal. Shop around to find the prettiest earrings at the best price.

If you don't buy earrings very often, be aware of the varieties of backings available. These unseen items are very important in assuring the earrings are not lost. The most common backing is the stud post, which is simply a short, straight piece of metal through which the backing is inserted.

Dangling jewelry styles often use a "shepherd's hook" backing. It also has a backing piece but the curve of the hook is an extra protection against the earring's slipping out and becoming lost.

There is also a backing called an Omega backing. This has a stud with a hinge. There is no second backing piece to slip off and become lost. Of course, there are always clip-on earrings for those without pierced ears.

Diamond flower earrings are as unique as she is. Visit your favorite jewelry store or go online to get ideas. The jewelry store may be able to design a special pair if you don't see just the right pair. One interesting possibility is to create the flower in the shape of the flower of her birth month.

When you give them, present them in a lovely gift box or hide them in a bouquet of real flowers. Or be imaginative and think of your own way to give her a memorable gift. You will both remember the day you gave her the beautiful diamond earrings. - 16651

5 Steps To Writing A Brilliant Press Release

By Theo McLanahan

Press Releases can help your business gain publicity through the media. Having media attention gives your business credibility. Here are some tips to boost your press release's appeal.

Correct Format: There is a format that press releases need to follow. Make sure your yours is written in the correct format, as you will want it to look as professional as possible. It is also a good idea to double-check the grammar, punctuation and spelling before you send it in for submission.

Keep it clear and to-the-point. Your press release shouldn't be any longer than two pages. Media outlets receive a lot of releases and they won't take the time to read a long report. Keeping it clear and concise will let you fit in your important facts without going beyond two pages. And remember to answer the important questions - who, what, why, where, when and how.

What's in it for the reader? Make sure you include a call to action in your press release. Put something in it that's going to inspire the reader to go to your event, visit your website, etc. If you write a blatant ad, it's going to be obvious and it won't get picked up by anyone. Include the features and benefits of what you're promoting, and tell your target market what's in it for them.

If you are promoting a new food processor, simply stating that it is smaller and takes up less space than previous models isn't enough. However, writing the information as 'the new model is smaller and takes up less space, allowing our customers to have the full chopping power of our larger model, but also save precious counter space' lets the reader know how the new model will help them.

Make It Interesting: If your writing is boring, no one is going to want to read it. Try to find a balance between straight facts and excitement. Using the example of the food processor above, announcing that 'our new food processor will be available this spring' isn't as catchy as 'our new space-saving food processor will be available this spring, just in time to help you chop fresh vegetables for your summer salads'.

Remember who your target market is. When you write your press release, make sure you keep your target market in mind. This will help you to focus on what your should include and where you should submit the release. For example, if your press release is health-related, it's not going to be worth the time to submit it to a travel magazine.

The media won't run a story on every single press release they receive, but if you follow these steps it's going to put you above a large percentage of the other releases coming across their desk. - 16651

Tsingtao Beer

By Tsingtao Beer UK

I always enjoy a glass of Tsingtao beer, it is my favourite kind of larger. Its not very lady-like to see me with a pint glass full of beer, but to be honest I don't care what people think. I love Tsingtao beer, and therfore shall drink it whenever I want to. Tsingtao beer is from China, with a German heritage. German settlers in 1903 founded the beer, does that mean its German or Chinese?

Research indicates that the beer should be the ethnicity of where it was produced, just like in human terms. So Tsingtao beer is indeed Chinese beer.

I enjoy a nice frosty pint, but Tsingtao beer is hard to come by on draft, much like corona, it is widely available in bottles. I first became hooked on Tsingtao beer during my semester in America, and while I was there, bottles seemed to be the safer option to drink from anyway, as drink drugging on a night out was a hot topic back then, and you could never be too safe!

Tsingtao beer is the largest selling Chinese brand of beer in America. I began drinking it there and now I can't stop!

Tsingtao beer has only a 157 calories, this is fantastic news for me, as I don't fancy a beer belly any time soon. Its the 11th largest beer in the world, I can totally understand that as it's a very refreshing drink!

While my friends order the cheapest beer on draft at the bar, I prefer to enjoy and savour my larger by asking for Tsingtao beer. It has a slightly malty flavour but retains its crispness nutty taste.

China has a population of around 1.26 billion people. That is suffice to say quite a large figure, and if the most popular drink out of China is Tsingtao beer, inmagine how many people drink it in China alone!

Two-thirds of China is also mountains or desert land, which defiantly makes for thirsty times I'd say. I don't know if id want to live in china, it would be warm, and my favourite Tsingtao beer would be cheap, but guess I would lose my sense of identity among all the people and such a big place.

I think it will be better to stay put in England and get the Chinese experience with a gorgeous bottle of Tsingtao beer. - 16651
