Adsense-Alternatives-1

Adsense Alternatives

Many people have started using Google's AdSense program, but there are some who find it a bit too uncertain or simply not suiting their own requirements from an ad program.

But thankfully for such people, there are many alternatives to AdSense which attempt to alleviate some of its shortcomings. Here is a list of the most noteworthy ones from the lot with a description concerning each one.

AllFeeds (/?action=publishers)

AllFeeds has a great pool of online advertisers to choose from. It also features many display formats that you can choose from. These include banners, buttons, XML feeds, DHTML pop-ups and so on. It also features real time reporting of your ad status. The site will mail a check every month, provided that you earn more then $25.00, while rolling over earnings for the next month if you don't. Another interesting thing about AllFeeds is that it integrates with Google AdSense, maximizing your earnings with AdSense.

MarketBanker (/mb/sell.php)

MarketBanker allows you the unique possiblity to set the pricing for your site. It also allows you to allow or reject any link that appears on your site (although AdSense itself does a very good job of this as well, with URL filters) There's also a statistics section which will allow you to see how well your site is doing. The ads are small just like AdSense's and they're just as easy to set up. Also, registration for MarketBanker is free.

BidClix ( /PubTop.html)

BidClix is different because it has advertisers compete for clicks on your site, which in turn is meant to generate the highest possible profits for your page. It also has a very large pool of advertisers which ensure there are plenty of people to choose your site. However, it does require more polish on site contents then AdSense. As most sites, real time statistics are available and its very easy to get started with this service, but it's also very flexible.

Chitika (/index.php?option=RealContext:+Contextual+Targeting+Engine)

RealContext uses Artificial intelligence to retrieve the most relevant ads for your page. And there's an extra feature which makes RealContext unique as well. Keywords are selected based upon which previous selections payed off and which didn't. That means there's a constant feedback process that ensures you gain better revenue from your ads. It also supports blocking certain adds and child-safe filtering and many more options.

AdHearus (/webmaster.php)

AdHearus is a very feature-packed contextual ad provider. As with AdSense, advertisements are targeted but it doesn't stop here at all. The ads are very flexible, you can select from text-ads, banners, rectangles, pop-ups, pop-unders or skyscrapers. You can also display your own ads, through rotation, both on your site and on other affiliate sites, which makes AdHearus a hybrid with conventional advertising technologies. There's a very comprehensive on-line real time reporting feature and, as usual with such services, starting out is free and it's a breeze.

AffiliateSensor (/)

AffiliateSensor has highly customizable ad blocks, which you can make for yourself with an easy to use on-line interface. You also get realtime reporting with clicks-by-domain, page and refferer. There's integration with Google AdSense as well, through the google_alternate_ad_url so AffiliateSensor can be used as a substitute for Google PSA's (Public Service Ads).

Kanoodle Bright Ads (/about/brightads.cool)

Kanoodle's offering allows publishers to get ads related to topics or segments, and not the traditional keyword oriented ads. The site also groups publisher sites with advertisers by hand to ensure high-revenue generating ads. And speaking of revenue, the amount of money you receive is a clear 50% share of the amount of money Kanoodle recieves for an advertiser.

TargetPoint ()

TargetPoint is oriented more towards content publishers. It offers full control over the look the ads, statistics over your site's overall performance and better revenue. It's free to register and you earn a guaranteed 60% of the total revenue. You can get payed with Paypal of Bank checks and (most times) wire transfers as well.

Clicksor ()

Clicksor will earn you as much as 60% from the amount of money your website produces. What you get is about the same as AdSense, there are targeted text ads, you can view the revenues from your website in real time. You can receive money via PayPal or through a check every two weeks, provided that you have earned more then $50. If you haven't made that much, your earning roll over to the next period

5 ways to use your Business Cards more effectively

Contrary to popular belief, the best use of business cards is not making origami or collecting dust. But, in this article you will find 5 of the most effective ways to use your business cards on a daily basis!

When Joe Girard, the world's greatest salesman, was selling cars he would frequently go to Detroit Lions football games.

Even though he could afford more expensive seats, he chose to sit in the upper deck and whenever the Lions scored, he would throw business cards off the top deck onto the expensive seats below that offered a discount on a new car that was only good the following day.

Joe Girard's example leads us to our first point:

1. Be Creative

An instructor at a karate class might hand out business cards at his son's t-ball game that say "First Lesson Free with this card". A pet store owner might give out business cards that have an offer for a free goldfish, or 10% off a purchase over $100.

No matter what your type of business, there is a creative way to get your business cards into the hands of buyers.

If you can think of these creative ways before your competition does, you are one step ahead, and you will see the increase in business.

2. Remember the 1 to 1 ratio

The 1 to 1 ratio is the easiest formula you'll ever need to know. If you talk to someone for more than 1 minute, they should have 1 of your business cards in their hand. That is the 1 to 1 ratio.

Basically that means that you need to find a way to talk about what you do, and get your business card in their hand within the first minute of the conversation.

Think of it as an elevator conversation. This prospect will be getting off of your elevator soon, so you have a short time to get that business card into their hand.

3. Make them keepers

Once you have your business card in the hand of your potential prospects, what is going to make them keep it?

Unless you are selling air and water, potential clients probably don't need what you sell, but hopefully they want what you sell.

Since most of us are not in a need based business we have to get our potential clients a reason to remember us and keep our cards.

Why does someone want your business card? If you cannot answer that easily, maybe it is time to think about a new business card design.

Does your business card have valuable information on it? By valuable I mean a map, discount, calendar, measurements, charts or anything relevant to your industry?

If it doesn't, you may want to think about adding a value feature to your business card.

4. Leave them where you spend your money

Just last night I went to eat at a Mexican restaurant, and sitting on the counter I saw about 30 cards for a car salesman sitting in a plastic business card holder. I asked the girl at the counter why they were there and she said "He said he was going to leave them for customers."

This is just one example of somewhere you could leave your business cards. Other places include barber or beauty shops, medical offices including dentists, family medicine, chiropractors, and hospitals.

These places are prime territory!

Remember to ask if they mind, and tell they how much you appreciate it.

5. Ask for an opinion

"Can I ask you a quick question? What do you think of my new business card design?" Then you hand them a business card.

No matter what they say, now they have your business card. When they try to hand it back, tell them you had thousands printed, and they can have that one.

Thank them for their time and tell them if they ever need what you sell or promote, your contact information is on the card.

If you were able to implement just one of these 5 ideas each day, you would have more business that you could handle!

OGGA-How-Could-One-Profit-Using-Google-AdWords

How Could One Profit Using Google AdWords

Cyberspace giant Google created a service for businesses that can provide fast and hassle-free advertising for products and services in the Internet through cost-per-click and cost-per-impression called Google AdWords. Advertisements are displayed along with search and content sites and search results done within the vast Google network. Keywords are carefully selected to determine where the ads will appear within the network, and there will a charge for every click to the ads. Merchants will specify how much they are willing to pay for every click.

Advertisers are assured of maximum audience penetration because the ads will appear at search results or occupying a space in a results page a user navigates through to get to a site directory. At present, Google garners views from about 80% of the Internet users in the U.S. alone. To add to the exposure, the advertisements are also prominently displayed In Gmail, Google's own electronic mail service.

There is no secret that Google AdWords provide not only useful service to businesses, it also enables them to save money and earn a lot of profits. The service requires payment only when the ads are looked at, whether it gets clicked or not. A merchant can monitor the performance of an ad through an online account control center provided by the service. The ads will appear shortly after the required billing information of the advertiser is submitted. Maximum payment is charged per thousand views.

But however powerful this online advertising tool is, it is still necessary that marketers create an effective AdWords strategy to rake in the profits. In fact, an AdWords campaign that is poorly implemented can even make advertisers lose money.

There are several benefits for knowing the operations of Google AdWords inside and out. First, with the service, an immediate test is available to know the marketability of a product. Second, it is possible to produce leads. This can be done by offering free options for users so that their email addresses can be procured. Third, it is possible to sell the advertiser's own products without using middle men, and in this way, reduction in total products will increase considerably. Fourth, it is also possible to sell the products of other businesses aside from one's own by using affiliate programs. Commissions will be collected for each every product sold, and this is done by directing online users to the site.

Here are several strategies to produce an effective AdWords campaign, which will produce profits for advertisers in no time.

1. Come up with a large quantity of keywords or keyword phrases that highly-targeted but costs less. It is vital since an advertiser pays for each click done on the keywords.

2. Create descriptions and advertisement headlines and test-run them to determine which of them is more effective. Here is a tip: the greatest benefit of a product or service should be mentioned in the headline and description.

3. The keyword-matching option available should be utilized to establish better targeting of the ads.

4. Concentrate the designation of ad impressions to specific regions or countries as soon as customer data is produced.

5. Place a sign-up box for subscribers on the web sites being promoted

6. Provide a Dynamic Hyper Text Markup Language pop-up for the sites. Unknown to some, pop-ups are can be used on landing pages provided it does not result in opening up new windows.

7. Put strong words in the ads, the type that appeals to the five senses of a user. Avoid using verbs that are abstract and personal. For instance, use tell instead of inform, change instead of modify, want instead of desire.

8. Avoid assigning too many keywords in an ad group.

9. Establish a daily budget for the ads. It is best to allocate a small amount to be paid for each click the ad gets.

10. When writing the ads, make sure there is rhythm to its flow. It arouses better reaction from people.

11. Remove those ads that are not getting many clicks from users and constantly edit those that prove to be functional.

12. Manage and keep track of the campaigns religiously. An advertiser will get to know which of the keywords utilized generates the highest impressions and click-throughs.

Competition is truly tough nowadays, so advertisers should utilize all the channels available to them in order to get profits. Through Google AdWords, they can bring expansion in their advertising campaigns and reap rewards from it.

One Way Linking Campaigns II

We have been discussing trips & tricks to generate one way incoming links into your site. To read the first part of this article read one way incoming links generation.

Then there is a way to generate links with the content that you have not as yet created. For this contact the established authorities (writers, publishers ) in your domain area & let them know that you are available as a resource for researching & writing on any topic from the chosen domain. When they will use you they will credit you for it. Also submit your articles to them. If they ever quote you they will link to you & the added advantage will be that their articles will get published in good places. Imagine an incoming link to your site from TIME or NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.

What if you dont have great content writing skills or the necessary expertise. Then do the next best thing. Ask for permission from writers to host their content on your site in exchange from link from it. So, if you are able to create a good selection of articles people will still link to you for a good compilation.

Now to the next step of creating one way links:

Apart from content you can use other free available downloads from your site as the carrot for people to link to you. This free carrot can be a good software tool relating to your domain or an ebook (content again) etc. If people perceive value in what you are offering chance are they will reciprocate by linking to you. Another way to leverage this free download scheme is to get listed in the directories & portals which offer a listing of freeware on the net. Search the SE using keyword freeware directories. Or shareware directories

You can possibly start with

/Computers/Software/Freeware/Directories/

or /Computers/Software/Freeware/Download_Locations/.

Or /Computers/Internet/WWW/Free_Stuff/Link_Pages/.

Or /Computers/Software/Shareware/Directories/

Survey the products & services in your domain. Pick up the good ones & write reviews for it. Then submit those reviews to the concerned site/s. More often then not they will use it while providing a link back to you for the credits.

Another way of getting some links is to hold a contest or host sweepstakes on your site. Once you have this in place get it listed with the directories which offer free contests & games listings. You can search SE for contest directories or start from here

/Top/Games/Gambling/Contests_and_Sweepstakes/Directories/

All this is effective when you are creating content or giving something free or reviewing someone elses offering. However there are ways to create one way links which are different than the abovementioned strategies. This entails leaving your footsteps where ever you go. In simpler terms keep your signature file ready( with a hyperlink) & then post it wherever possible.

Whenever you visit a site, write a comment in the guest book with your signature file.

Post messages on the forums or some chat rooms relating to your topic with hyperlink built in ( check which forums allow that).

Post messages in the usenet newsgroups with hyperlink. For selecting the right newsgroup to send a message you can search with your prime keyword on google groups.

Always remember to have your signature file in your email.

Another way of creating one way incoming links into your site is by either starting an online award category or by participating in an award category.

If you are an award giver the recipient will place your gif file(with hyperlink in it) on his site. If you win an award you will link to the award site & they in turn generally link to you.

Another play is to book additional space/ additional url on any other server & create a small site on it(related to your topic area with some unique content) & link it to the original site. A variation of this is to create a blog ( search SE for blog ) or start here

/Top/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Weblogs/Tools/?tc=1 .

Link this blog to your web site.

Another long winding however effective way to create incoming links is to host affiliate programs or launch banner exchange programs or launch a web ring program from your site. People who will sign up will have links pointing to your site from theirs. However this approach does take time & efforts to bear fruit.

In almost all these variations one of the most important parameters you can control is the anchor text.

These are just some of the methods that you can undertake profitably.

Once you are done with your one way linking campaign, its time to start with reciprocal linking campaigns

Don't Get Caught With Adsense Click Fraud

Don't Get Caught With Google Adsense Click Fraud

Many web site owners are getting their Google Adsense account terminated when they have done nothing wrong to deserve the punishment. Considering the money that they are getting from Adsense, they would certainly want to get back into it.

Considering the money to be made with Adsense, it is no wonder that they would want to get back into it.

It is that same consideration why the Google Adsense click fraud is thought of and why many people are getting into it.

Click fraud is the act of clicking on ads for the purpose of costing the advertiser money. It is simply the same as paying out cash for false leads. Many people website owners are aware of this fraud and are sharing the same sentiment that this is the one big problem that Adsense is facing.

How do you prevent being involved in this fraud?

Majority of web hosts are offering access logs. Once this is offered to you, it is necessary that you hand it over to Google as well. This allows them to look for any suspicious activity on your site. Problems like this are very serious and giving it to them is saying that you would want to help them in any way you can in solving the problem.

It can also help if you have a click monitoring software. If you do not have one yet, you should try and get one. There is absolutely no major factor preventing you from having one because most of this software is free.

As usual, all the information you have received should be turned over to Google. This is showing Google that you too are fighting against click frauds and is in no way a part of it.

Study your server logs and watch for any activity that seems suspicious. Report anything that you may find odd, may it big or small thing.

You may want to consider disabling ads for your own IP address and local geographic area. This will certainly prevent accidents and will not make Google mistake another user as you. You can do through a htaccess file. This will avoid Google mistaking as clicking on your own ads and be kicked out because of it.

Keep your Adsense off on pop ups and pop unders. Your ads should not be displayed on content sites that promote illegal activity or tampering of the legal rights of other people or business. Included in this are the content that is considered adult and gambling ones. If you think that you may be breaking this rule, immediately remove your content or Adsense from the web page.

Be truthful and confess up to Google about times when you might have clicked on your own as, whether accidentally or intentionally. Or the times when you have done something that is against the Terms of Service that they are implementing. Be honest about anything that you may have done that is wrong. Confessing is way better than Google learning about it eventually. It would mean eventual termination and no getting back what you have worked so hard for.

Do not tell your family or friends about Adsense on your website. Chances are they may start clicking on them to help you make money without you knowing it. They may be doing more harm to you than help by trying it in the first place.

If ever someone you know chanced upon your Adsense, make sure they understand that they cannot click on your ads under any circumstances. It would be wise to brief them on important things about Adsense and what not to do with them.

Most pay per click networks have different measures in hand to protect website owners against click frauds. Other search engines can track more than 50 data points, IP address, browser

Click-Fraud

Click Fraud

If you're using AdWords or AdSense you must have heard about an emerging practice in the underworld of computing called "click fraud". But what exactly is click fraud and how is it accomplished?

Well AdSense uses a payment mechanism that awards a certain amount of money to a publisher (someone who holds an AdSense banner on their page) every time a person clicks on the said banner. So click fraud is the attempt to have people clicking the ads just so that they can earn a greater income.

There are people setting up sites for the sole purpose of fraudulently generating revenue through Google's AdSense program. These users achieve an incredible number of clicks through many methods, some complex and sophisticated and some rudimentary and simple.

One of the most complex is through the use of so called "hitbots". These are automated programs who emulate clicking the links in AdSense banners (there are some that actually click the banners as well).

Google's AdSense protection scheme is by no means perfect and nearly anyone can find the details of surmounting the protection mechanism, ironically just by doing a Google search.

Another, more rudimentary method is to hire a lot of people in a poor country to click the links on your site. This means these people will actually sit all day and just click links so you can earn a fortune. They come from very poor countries like India, and they're prepared to do so for just $0.50 an hour.

Of course, there's a problem with this mechanism. Once Google receives a large number of clicks from a single address, the address and the site that had the AdSense banner will be banned, and the illicit behavior might even get the fraudster sued.

To prevent this from happening, many people use a large number of proxy servers for the purpose of clicking. These are basically trojans, located on computers throughout the world (though mostly in the US). What's even more daunting is that these clicks will appear to originate from an actual computer so such scams are really hard to detect.

And don't think this happens only in isolated instances. There is a great deal of illegal activity in this domain.

In fact there's so much that if search engine companies don't increase their security with such programs as AdSense, such criminal behavior could become more become even more damaging.

Google has a very strict policy regarding click fraud, and it has sued those employing such techniques in the past. But while the search engine giant tries its best to minimize the risk of click fraud there's certainly room for a lot of improvement.

It is estimated that more then 20% of the clicks that follow an AdSense link are just done in order to get money from the person paying for the ad. Some people believe the number of fraudulent clicks to be even twice as large.

There are a great deal more schemes involving click fraud, such as groups of AdSense publishers clicking each other's links (which is referred to as "clicking rings", or spamming people so that they click such links.

Despite Google still holding click fraud on a leash, the phenomenon is certainly raising concerns for the advertisers on AdWords, but despite this advertising with Google's AdSense still remains more profitable for the advertiser, as opposed to traditional untargeted advertising schemes.

There are some means of protection against such schemes and all advertisers should be savvy enough to employ them. Many advertisers choose to avoid the content network all together for fear of click fraud.

Adsense-is-for-Everyone

Adsense is for Everyone

When Google's AdSense appeared, there were a lot of people who doubted Google's idea would be marketable and actually generate any profits. Yet as we stand here today it's probably the most well known pay per click venture in the world.

Yes, all those nay sayers ended up eating their own words in the end. And that is because the folks at Google never go and do something without assessing whether or not it will be profitable, or exactly how profitable it is.

But of course, as you might very well know, AdSense isn't just profitable for Google. It's also profitable for the people who advertise via AdWords and very profitable for publishers who use it to make earnings which are sometimes just enormous.

So one must ask himself why this is such a good deal for everybody. And the question in itself is very justified because you hardly ever come across something that's profitable for everyone in the chain. So why would AdSense be any different.

Well, AdSense is where it stands today, giving benefits for everybody in the game because it exploits a gap in the Internet's advertising model.

You see, the Internet is a very interactive environment, and its interactions come from the people who are browsing. They choose whether or not to follow a certain link and the term "navigating" is probably the most precise one at describing this situation.

So AdSense is great because it links together buyers and sellers. Yes, you have to hand it out to Google for a brilliant idea. They know there are people out there that want to buy stuff and people who want to sell them what they're interested in. And Google AdSense helps members of the two categories find each other.

It works for the visitors, because the model is very transparent. You don't see a huge graphic banner which tries to lure you into buying something. You just see a few words. And if you like what you see you can just click it. It works because visitors don't have that feeling of someone trying to lure them into spending money. Ironically, however, they're wrong.

It works for the AdWords advertisers because their ads go everywhere. Not only will they find themselves listed in Google's search which gets gazillions of hits per day, up front without working as much for SEO and waiting so much.

Their ads can reach any website that deals with anything similar to what they're trying to sell. Now you must realize they could never pull of such great advertising by themselves. And that brings us to the thing that makes Google's AdSense a publisher's best friend.

It comes from the fact that the ads are contextual, that they somehow related to the keywords you deal with on your page. Because people or on your site, which deals with a certain topic, you already know they're interested in that topic.

But, hey, wait a minute, Google knows some companies which want to sell your visitors something related to their topic. Google wants your visitors, you want Google's advertisers and the visitors just want to buy stuff. And that is the essence of what makes AdSense a great deal for everybody.

This is by far the most profitable hook-up deal you're ever going to see anywhere on the Internet.

So you have to appreciate Google for realizing a killer deal. You have to appreciate how well thought out, yet simple this scheme really is. Sure, in practice it has a few quirks but those are minor and, up to this point everyone seems to be enjoying Google's AdSense.

Adsense-and-the-Surfer

Adsense and the Surfer

AdSense is an easy program to grasp: it's a great form of an advertising bringing a lot of benefits to every person in the chain. And of course, seeing the results it can have on a business (and a publisher) people encourage this form of publicity.

For the browsing audience this is probably the most straightforward model available, because they can be directed to a lot of new sites they wouldn't have otherwise found. Needless to say, if you have an AdSense banner on your site, and a large number of visitors you'll know it offers a great financial benefit.

But why does it work for the people clicking the links, as opposed to a standard approach?

It is aided by today's society. With bloggers and information based articles on the internet, people may be encouraged to complete purchases, which adsense can provide links to relevant suppliers whilst also benefiting the publisher.

And the good thing about this is that it works for site visitors as well. In fact Google realized that by pleasing the people who are looking for something, and directing them to what they need faster, everybody wins.

It is because of this that a lot of websites promote through AdSense in both content and search. They do it because they ultimately learned that it works for everyone.

If we look in the past, we can realize that this kind of publicity has a great impact over the people, especially in the last few years. When we enter on a web site and we see a graphical banner, our first idea is to cancel it out of our mind, because it's of no concern to us.

That's why traditional banner advertising is wrong. It's precisely because people are becoming savvy that they don

But as stated, above, there are some negative aspects to advertising with AdSense and here's a small list of such cons.

Clearly the largest negative impact the AdSense program can have on you is through Google closing your accounts. Most of the time this happens because of so called 'click fraud', which means somebody would be producing artificial clicks on your page.

There's one really nasty side to that. It doesn't have to be you making those artificial clicks. It could very well be your competition doing this in order to shut you down, or the competitor of whoever is advertising on your page, looking to drive their marketing costs up.

The earning AdSense brings you are by no means constant. In fact, they're not even close to that. Anything you do to your site could end up being a big mistake costing you a great deal of money. It's that kind of pressure that has a negative impact on you.

First of all, you constantly need to make sure your site is in the spotlight of search engines when people are searching for whatever it is your site is about.

If you fail to do that you won't have any visitors, and that of course means you won't have any AdSense revenue. In a way this is nothing new, as any form of generating revenue on the Internet with advertising has such a drawback.

And finally, another major problem is that you constantly have to feed your site with better and better content. Now, of course, certain sites are very well geared towards doing this but with some types of content this is rather hard to achieve. This is often why the services of a copywriter are employed to generate more and more content.

When writing original content, the best thing a website owner can do is research a topic thoroughly and then return to writing with lots of information they can out in their own words, and show their own opinion on.

So there are the pros and cons of using the AdSense network for generating profits through advertising. Now the choice of whether or not these work for you is yours.

How Mac OS X changed Apple

How Mac OS X changed Apples world in Ten years

Ten years ago today and Apples [AAPL] first full public version of Mac OS X went on sale worldwide to a gleeful reception as thousands of Mac users attended special events at their local computer shops all across the planet. I was at one such event in Central London. What we didnt know then was that Apple was preparing to open up its own chain of retail outlets, nor had we heard Steve Jobs use the phrase, iPod. Windows was still a competitor, and Google was still a search engine. These were halcyon days, when being a Mac user meant belonging to the second team.

When Apple had goodwill

Way back in 2001, the UK event saw journalists from across the tech press attend retailer, Micro Anvika. Over 400 people turned up late at night to see some of Apple UKs top dogs put Apples new pussycat through its paces (Forgive the clumsy proximity of these analogies).

Mac OS X is the most important software from Apple since the original Macintosh operating system in 1984 that revolutionized the entire industry, said Apple CEO Steve Jobs in a statement released at that time. We cant wait for Mac users around the globe to experience its stability, power and elegance.

There was a lot of excitement. Dont forget that Mac users had been loyally hanging onto a platform in crisis. We needed a new OS to help stave off falling market share; wed seen Jobs abandon the licensing arrangement for Mac clones and wed been through the painful Performa period.

Life had been tough, until very recently when things began to change, with the arrival of the iMac, the iBook, and the PowerMac G3.

Steves NeXT step

Despite the success of those machines, we all knew Mac OS needed to change for the new Century. In recent years wed been avidly reading and researching Apples own attempt to develop a new OS (Copland); wed followed the companys brief flirtation with Jean-Louis Gasses BeOS OS and the eventual Hosannah moment as Steve Jobs rode back into town on the back of his little futuristic NeXT-based analogous donkey. Stretching the analogy a little, Jobs was even accompanied by his very own band of disciples, including familiar names such as: Nancy Heinen, Jon Rubinstein, Bertrand Serlet, Avie Tevanian, Jean Marie Hullot and many others.

What was special about NeXT? It certainly wasnt its commercial success, though it had some, but its pioneering work trail-blazed the whole notion of object-oriented programming and graphical user interfaces. Apple even made an attempt to create its own object-oriented OS with the Taligent project, which began in 1989. And failed.

Now NeXT was at Apple, work really began. Perhaps someone somewhere has a copy of the Apple turnaround road map. But even at this stage Jobs had decided the company would move to implement the NeXT OS, would develop a retail presence with a series of highly stylized stores (the NeXT offices were also fabulously arty), would introduce new concepts in computer design.and would eventually run on Intel processors.

The NeXT OS was ported to both PowerPC and Intel processors in Apples labs under the code name Rhapsody. There were a bunch of development tools (Cocoa) while Apple also built an environment called Blue Box (Carbon, now defunct) which delivered backwards compatibility to the OS, allowing older applications to run.

Better than all the rest

This was a very important event. Apple now held an advanced OS everyone including Microsoft had tried and failed to emulate; it also meant Apple had a future ten-year plan, and a product to market strategy that should ensure that, at least at first, no Mac user need be left behind.

It is worth noting Apples execution in all of this. Take for example the move to field a succession of well-received iMac and iBook computers in advance of the OS X release. This was incredibly smart because it both built the companys profile while also ensuring that when the OS launched there was an existing ecosystem of technologically-compatible Macs which could run the OS, immediately boosting adoption.

And oh, what an adoption rate we saw. On my way to the London launch party back in 2001 I came across an Italian Mac user banging on the door of a Micro Anvika branch. I need it! Let me in! I have to have it! he yelled as he hammered at his magic portal. I gently sympathized with him and pointed out that the Micro Anvika branch he needed to visit was ten minutes walk up the Tottenham Court Road.

The lost but Mac-passionate Italian reflected everyones excitement. Fabio De Rosa, a freelance graphic designer, said: I had to be here. Its an historic moment. I eat, breathe and sleep Mac.

A historic moment

Inside the shop a rapt audience of Mac users, developers, retailers and Apple staff stood to attention as Apple UKs popular and charming MD, Mark Rogers, modestly delivered a presentation which showed us what the OS could do.

The early release was quickly condemned for being a public beta, we all understood that change had to come, and it was exciting to be part of it. The need to add features including DVD playback and CD burning as well as ironing out a few wrinkles (cough: kernel panic, anyone?) meant Apple didnt begin shipping OS X as the default OS on all Macs until the release ofMac OS X 10.1, Puma.

March 24, 2001 was still a good start. Simon Smith, Micro Anvikas Macintosh manager, told me: I think OS Xs features are great, its very easy to use. It will be excellent for first-time buyers, but has so much to offer to advanced users. Its the applications we are waiting for.

Apples then PR manager, David Millar, said: We expected a good turnout, and everyone Ive been talking to has been a professional designer, Web animator or programmer. We have an audience of professionals here.

Event attendance was excellent around 500 people showed-up that evening that may not sound like many people at all, in these days of retail store queues for every Apple launch, but this was thepre-iPod world, people. Things really were different then. Sales of the OS were to coin a phrase insanely great. Similar events in other countries saw Mac fans produce OS X-shaped cakes. There was a real energy across the Cult of Mac.

Developers, developers

Fast forward just four months to July 2001, and Apples VP Worldwide Developer Relations, Ron Okamoto, said: In a short amount of time we have seen incredible growth in our developer community and the number of Mac OS X applications now tops 1,000. Every major Mac software company sees a huge opportunity and is bringing applications to Mac OS X, while new developers are helping broaden the applications available to Mac users around the world.

Today and we see each successive release of OS X causing Apples Mac audience to grow, not shrink. When Apple stormed into Sonys world with the introduction of the iPod a few months later in October 2001, Apples fortunes really began to transform.

The PowerPC problem

Apples OS couldnt hide some legacy disadvantages. The new operating system was more advanced than anything anyone else had to offer, (bar perhaps some breeds of Linux at the time), but it still ran on slow, under-powered Power PC machines.

Despite all the claims to the contrary, Apples sales seriously suffered on the conception that PowerPC computers were slower and less capable than their Intel competition. Things had to change and, as was planned from the beginning, on June 6, 2005, they did. Thats when Apple announced a move to Intel processors, a transition it completed by August 2006.

The later move to introduce an iPhone in 2007 (though an earlier attempt to make a 2005 launch of an Apple mobile device was shelved at the eleventh hour) consolidated the position. It also meant Apple now offered a version of a NeXT-based operating system for both Macs and mobile devices.

Whats coming next?

From the OS to the platform to the eventual widening of the platform to include both mobile and desktop products, the recent ten-year history of Apple is inexorably linked to the OS it turned to after the nineties doldrums almost destroyed the Cupertino firm.

Were looking at the eighth significant OS X release in the next few months, Lion, which should offer some elements of unification between the iOS and OS X. Theres still some bugs to iron out though, particularly the problem with ACLs (Access Control Lists) inside the Finder. Hopefully departing ex-NeXT Mac OS chief, Bertrand Serlet, will be able to fix this before he leaves.

The ideal body weight isn't rocket science, you can figure it out. Though unless you were a math whiz in high school or college I would suggest using a calculator. Here's how it's done.....

1.You must take your weight(1 kilogram= 2.2 pounds)2.Then measure your height(1 inch= 2.5 centimeters)3.Divide your weight by your height squared (Kg/{m}2)=26

If I haven't lost you yet you can actually hunt around on the web and find many sites that will do this for you.I want to include this handy chart I found for ideal body body weight.

BMI / BODY ________________________________________ 18.5 or less- ~ underweight/ 18.5 to 24.9- ~ normal/ 25.0-29.9- ~ overweight/ 30.0-34.9- ~ obese/ 40+ ~ very obese/

Get your numbers down by trying some sure fire tricks for weight loss. I've tried these for years and have turned friends on to them...If you don't walk for an hour a day every day then start now and watch your weight fall off naturally.Jared the "subway" guy wasn't putting you on.

Eating correctly and organically of course should be your number one goal in maintaining health and in health recovery after illness.Always begin with a general cleanse to rid yourself of toxins.Flush the fat cells after your cleanse by drinking apple cider vinegar with "mother". One tablespoon in a glass of water before meals will get you on your way.

Try to seek out whole foods in your quest for ideal body weight. There are countless foods to choose from but it's good to start with whole grain foods.I use flax seed and flax flour in everything. It's versatile. Also it's ideal for baking as long as you don't overdue it.Too much and it can leave a bitter aftertaste.Try flax oil instead of olive oil in your cooking.It's lighter,nuttier and it cooks into chicken and rice well.

In the end it all comes down to you(Joni Mithell song). Ideal body weight and ideal body mass index can begin one minute from now. Don't make weight loss your great white whale and go mad in the process....I relate deeply to how you feel.

No one will do it for you so find your ideal body weight and take ACTION! Shoot for the numbers and here's wishing you success in all your endeavors.....

Better Ways To Harnessing the Power of the Search Engines to Market Your Business - Search Engines - SE Optimization

Here are a few tips to help you tame search engines to get better results.

Ranking Algorithms

You may have heard of ranking algorithms when you were researching search engine trends and optimization techniques. These algorithms are mathematical formulas that search engines use to determine how Web pages are indexed in their databases. These algorithms also help to determine how Web pages are ranked in the results for specific keyword searches. Each of the search engines has its own specific ranking algorithm, but the actual formulas are kept confidential by each individual search engine company.

Because these algorithms have the power to change Web rankings and the way people do business, they are kept from other companies to protect the business interests of each search engine. Even though you don't know exactly what these formulas are, there are guidelines for each search engine that you can follow to improve your rankings.

Ranking algorithms differ for each search engine, so you can use one search engine and then use a second search engine for the same keyword and get completely different results. This is why you need to have a wide range of search engine optimization techniques in place to optimize your Web site for the best results across all of the search engines.

If you heavily optimize your site for one search engine, you will lose traffic on other search engines. If you optimize your site for the top search engine, you may be able to get away with very little optimization for the other search engines.

All of this will depend on how the search engines are ranking sites when you are optimizing your site. You will also have to keep up with the major search engine trends after you initially optimize your site so you know what changes need to be made.

Off-page optimization has become increasingly more important because of the changes in search engine optimization. Many people involved in the SEO community have learned how to optimize their pages so the search engines started to place increasingly more importance on off-page optimization.

Off-page optimization means that you will have to work on optimizing your site without actually using the pages of your site for optimization purposes. One of the best tools for off-page optimization is link building. Link building means that you are building links from other Web sites to your own site. One-way links are the most valuable since they show that other Web site owners find the information on your site to be relevant or important.

Some of the bigger search engines determine the popularity of the Web sites that are ranked well in the results for specific keywords. If a well-ranked site is not getting much traffic from the search results, the search engines will decrease the rank of this site because Web users have shown it to be an irrelevant or useless site.

If a site that is not ranked as well in the search engines gets a lot of traffic, the search engines may elevate the rank of the site. Users who keep visiting the site despite its low rank are showing the search engines that the site's information is very important and relevant to the keywords used in Web searches returning that particular site in the rankings.

The Importance of Google

If you have a small search engine optimization budget, you may be wondering if it's really necessary to optimize your site for all of the search engines. While optimizing your site for all of the search engines will give you the best results, targeting the major search engines can help you to optimize your site for the smaller search engines at the same time.

Google, Yahoo, and MSN are known as the major search engines and they are in constant competition with each other to improve the way information is returned every time someone searches for a particular word or phrase. Google is the most important of these search engines, and the Google organization has changed the way users get information with their innovative search techniques and complementary services.

In addition to the search engine services it provides, Google also offers Google Scholar, Google Earth, Google Checkout, G-mail, and a number of other services for Web users. Google Scholar allows users to search for information in scholarly publications. This is an excellent tool for anyone writing a thesis, dissertation, or article for publication.

Google Earth is Google's way of getting involved with satellite photographs. Users can search for photographs taken by satellites. Google Checkout is Google's new payment processing system that is closely linked with major retailers, making it the online shopping experience for convenient. G-mail is Google's e-mails service that has a very large storage capacity, making it the first choice for users who want to take advantage of the almost 3 GB inbox size.

Google PageRank

Google PageRank (PR) is a statistical tool that can be used by Web marketers to determine how their site is perceived in the online community. Google creates this statistic using a mathematical formula that takes the number of links to and from your Web site into consideration and comes up with the PR number.

When other Web site owners link to your site, Google interprets each link as a "vote" for your site. This allows Web users to contribute to the popularity of a site. The quality of the links to your site is just as important, if not more important, than the number of links to your site. If a Web site linking to you has a PR of 8 and 200 outgoing links, this may slightly help your PR.

If a site linking to you only has a PR of 6 but only has 10 links, this will be more helpful. Because the site has few outgoing links, Google assumes that your site is important because they used one of their few links to drive viewers to your site.

Checking your PageRank is easy using a tool called PR Checker. You simply enter your Web address and your PR will be displayed in a matter of seconds. If you find that your PR is low, you can attempt to increase it by building links and employing other SEO strategies.

The Sandbox Effect

Because Google is so important in the world of search engines, it has had a strong effect on how Web pages are indexed and ranked in the search engine results. This importance has resulted in an effect that is often called the Sandbox Effect. This effect refers to the period of time that Web site owners must wait before being ranked by the search engines. This period can be anywhere from 3 months to 6 months and this time is often used to see if each new Web site can survive without rankings.

If a Web site is not ranked but still has significant traffic, it means that the information and tools on the site must be worthwhile enough to attract visitors without using the search engines to generate traffic. If a Web site is able to stay afloat before it is ranked, Google assumes that the content is important enough to allow the Web site to be ranked for its specific keywords and phrases.

Duplicate Web Content

There is a lot of information about the duplicate content penalty on the Internet, but there are just as many web sites that are devoted to proving the rumor to be false. Duplicate content is when you use content that is already on the Web to populate your web site with information.

Doing this is easy as it saves you time and money on writing your own articles, but if the search engines penalize you for duplicate content, you could be derailing your own SEO efforts. According to those who promote the existence of a duplicate content penalty, search engines have a filter that is used when duplicate content is detected. If your content is ignored by the search engines, you're not going to improve your rankings and you may not even get anywhere near the top 10 of the results.

Having your own unique content is important for many reasons beyond the threat of a penalty for duplicate content. Writing your own content can position you as an expert in your field. Visitors will be much more impressed with your qualifications if you provide original content than they will be by visiting your web site and finding the same article they just read 10 minutes ago.

Having unique content on your web site can also help you improve your SEO efforts because other sites will want to link to your original information. Would you rather link to someone who has original ideas and a wealth of information on their web site, or to a web site that has the same content as 10 other sites? That's how other people think and you'll benefit from this thinking when they see that you have a ton of fresh content just waiting to be read by people all over the Web.

Another reason that adding unique content to your site on a regular basis is important is because it can help you to improve your search engine rankings. Search engines send crawlers out to look for information at designated intervals. If you update your web site, a crawler may visit it and gather the new information for indexing. This can help to improve your search engine ranking.

If you have a web site, newsletter, e-zine, tip sheet, or other information product, you're going to want to have unique content. This can help to build your subscriber list to your newsletter and make your products more valuable in the online marketplace. Some of the same e-books and articles have spread all over the Internet and have the same tired information that is already out of date.

If you dedicate yourself to creating unique content, you can keep up with the latest trends and give your readers exciting and relevant information that they can use in their businesses. This will solidify your reputation as an expert in your field, and can also create goodwill with your web site visitors. One final reason to avoid using duplicate content is so that you can avoid any legal claims of plagiarism or copyright violation.

Just because something is on the internet doesn't mean it's free to reuse or distribute. If you inadvertently distribute or use something that is protected by copyright, you may find yourself in hot water with the copyright owner.

Keeping up with search engine trends and learning how to best optimize your web site for the search engines will not only bring you additional traffic, it will also bring you more chances for sales conversions and satisfied customers. Use these techniques wisely and you'll be able to manage a steady business for many years to come.
