On May 14, we covered the "dos," about search engins. So today here come the "don'ts." Although these questionable tactics have worked well in the past, the search engines absolutely hate them. If they catch you using any of these tricks, they may go so far as to drop you from their listings like a hot potato.
1. BEWARE IRRELEVANT LINKS!
Yes, it's a good idea to get a lot of different links pointing to your site, but the search engines only like RELEVANT links. If they find sites that have nothing in common with the content on your site linked to your web site, they'll lower your relevancy rating.
2. BEWARE IRRELEVANT KEYWORDS! Search engines hate finding irrelevant keywords on your site, especially in your meta tags. If they catch you using keywords that have nothing to do with the actual content of your site, they'll penalize you for it.
3. DON'T "KEYWORD STUFF" YOUR META TAGS!
In the past, people used to repeat their keywords in their meta tags over and over again. This used to get them a high ranking with the search engines but not any more. Search engines are on to this trick and will punish you for it by dropping your ranking.
4. DON'T CREATE "LINK FARMS"! "Link farms" are the evil cousins of the "information pages" we discussed before. In the past, some spammers used to build multiple "doorway" sites that existed only to multiply the number of links pointing to their sites. Unlike content-rich information pages, these doorway pages would usually only include a string of keyword terms that would earn them a high ranking with the search engines. The search engines have caught on to this tactic, however, and will drop you from their listings if they find you using it.
5. AVOID "FREE FOR ALL" LINK PAGES!
Don't bother placing links to your site on pages where everyone and their dog is invited to put up a link. Such sites have extremely low relevancy ratings and will cost you points with the search engines.
I hope that will help you. Don't forget AVERTISE! and "Let us mind your business."

It’s never too late.
I know some of you out there are straddling the fence about owning an online business or extending your business online.
What’s stopping you, time, fear, lack of knowledge, too many web sites out there already?
Lets take these reasons one at a time.
TIME:
This is the biggest excuse of all. Saying you don’t have time is a polite way of saying I don’t want to do it. If you put the time in something and you made money, you’d make room to do it. And in the aloud time, you made more money then you ever expected, you’d need time to do things the old way or should I say you wouldn’t want to do things the old way. So not having time, try something else.
FEAR:
“The secret of life is to have no fear.” So, fear of what? Adding another stream of business to make more money or expanding your business to the internet so your customers will have an easier way to do business with you or the fear that you may do something wrong? What are you doing wrong with your business now? What are you screwing up? If you’re not screwing up your business now, what makes you think being online will screw it up?
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE:
Baloney! Goggle has more knowledge then you’ll ever need or use. Goggle anything you don’t know and Goggle will give you the answer. Not mom, dad, sis. or bro, Goggle. Want a web site, Goggle. Run a web site, Goggle. Want your site seen, Goggle. Want pictures, Goggle. Want text, Goggle. What ever you can think about someone else has thought about it too and Goggle will have it online. So, what lack of knowledge.
TO MANY WEB SITES:
Listen, there are millions and millions and maybe billions of web sites an information sites on the net. What does that mean? That means millions and millions or maybe billions of people made those sites happen. Don’t think all those people only visit their own site, NO! They’re people and they do what people do, they surf the net also.
Wouldn’t you want millions and millions and maybe billions of people passing your web site 7/24?
Could you use 1% or those people spending $10 with you every month? Lets do the math.
1% of 1,000,000 = 1,000 x $10 = $10,000 per/mo.
In short, I’m saying they’re too many people on the net not to bump into your web site. It’s up to you to have what they want to buy.
I had 800 hits a day while building my site. It wasn’t ready for business. I was building the thing.
My Aunt in Chicago (God rest her sole) sold snow kones from her front porch and paid hers bills with the profits. At the time Chicago’s population was 3,000,000 of which 2,000,000 people lived on the south side where she lived. There were enough people in her neiborhood to make money.
So, there are enough people that surf the web for you to make money.
It’s never too late, get started and,
“Let us mind your business.”

Hi folks,
It's the end of Mother's Day and I hope all the Mothers were proud of thier families today.
I thought I'd talk about search engines for the next day or two.
Over the years things have changed. Search engines don't want to be manipulated by marketers. They want to provide the best unbiased results possible for any given search or they'll lose users. That's why they need to change their algorithms so frequently, to stay ahead of the tricks people use to get top rankings.
That being said, there are still a lot of legitimate ways you can optimize your site without angering the search engines and causing them to drop you from their list. Here are some of the best things you can to do ensure your site has a high ranking:
1. ASK RELEVANT SITES TO LINK TO YOUR SITE.
In the past, scoring a high ranking with a search engine was all about positioning your keywords in "prime real estate" positions in your text and site coding. All that has changed.
These days, links are king! Search engines place a huge amount of importance on the number of sites that link to yours. But it's not just the quantity of links that matter, it's also the quality.
Search engines look at how relevant the links are. Like, how much the content of the linking site has in common with the content on your site.The more relevant, the better!
Search engines also look at how "important" the linking site is. What kind of "online presence" does it have? How much traffic does it get? For example, your site will get a higher ranking if it's linked to by sites such as BBC.com or nationalgeographic.com instead of, say, the personal homepage of your friend's neighbor's kid.
2. PAY ATTENTION TO KEYWORD INCLUSION AND PLACEMENT.
Keywords may no longer be the sole determining factor of a site's ranking, but they're still pretty important. The most useful places to include them are, In your domain name, just make sure your keywords are in the root of your URL, not the stem!
For example, if your main keyword phrase is "cell phones," try to get a domain name such as "cell-phones.com" instead of "mobileusa.com/cell-phones.com." Some search engines will actually penalize sites for including key words in the stem of a URL or in the title tags in your source code or in the meta description of your site. This is much less important than it used to be, but it can't hurt.
In your meta keyword tags, HOWEVER: Be sure you only include relevant keywords!
Search engines will penalize you if you try to sneak in keywords that have nothing to do with the content of your site.
3. CREATE CONTENT-RICH "INFORMATION PAGES" TO DIRECT TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE.
An easy way to boost the number of pages that link to your site is to create some pages yourself but, you have to make sure these pages contain valuable contents that provide people with useful information.
Search engines hate "pointer pages" that have no content and exist only to add to the number of links pointing to a site. Be sure the information relates to the content on your site and has your keywords placed in advantageous positions. This will boost the ranking of your pages with the search engines and ensure they get lots of traffic which they can then redirect to your site.
4. SUBMIT YOUR SITE TO ONLINE DIRECTORIES.
Be sure to submit your site to important directories such as Yahoo!, the Open Directory Project (www.dmoz.org), and About.com, as well as smaller directories. Your listing on these directories will help your ranking with the major search engines.
5. MULTIPLY AND CONQUER.
Create a "community" of related sites that link to each other. Why stop at only one information page? The more content-rich sites that point to your site, the better. You can also boost the number of links that point to your site by dividing it into several separate sites that all link to each other.This works especially well if you sell a number of different products or services.
If you build a different site to focus on each of your products and services, then you can also concentrate the use of specific keyword phrases on each site. That's another great way to boost your search engine ranking.
Also, You should really "Let us mind your Business" too.

Good Day folks,
Who needs $800,000?
I went on a trip last time talking about what I would do to solve poverty.
But today I want to get real. I want everyone to know this.
There is a whole lot of us average plain hard working folks that must worry about retirerment.
Will we have enough money?
I think $50,000 plus a year is not bad if you're dept free but how do you get to that sum.
Lets do some math.
We want $50,000 every year. lets keep it simple and say $5,000 per month.
If you have a retirement plan that's going to pay you $5,000 plus per mo. good this is not for you.
How mush is $50,000 per yr.
It's equivalent to having $800.000 @ 6% interest and you get paid the interest every year and you don't touch the money.
So, if you want to have $50,000 a yr. you must save $800,000. It's as easy as that.
You've got to save more than $26,000 per yr. for thirty years.
Lets get real.
Us little folks ain't going to do that but we can do something else.
$50,000 is $200 per day.
Can we make $200 per day. Yes!
We must do something that will make us $200 per day. Maby have a business.
You see, retirement doesn't mean doing nothing, it means doing something else.
$800,000 @ 6% is good if you can get 6%. You may only get 3%.
So you could have $800,000 and still only get $25,000 per yr. if you don't want to touch the money.
Whats the moral of the story?
Get a business to make $200 per day and live like you have $800,000 @ 6% interest.
And to get your business to make $200 per day, you said it.
ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE.

I could end poverty tomorrow.
I've talked to some friends about poverty the other day. Did you know that they're over
3,500,000 people in poverty today in the U.S. and we spend $350,000,000 annually with
programs to help them.
What an industry!
What a waste.
If I had it my way I'd give $50,000 to every child born in the U.S.
I'd put the money in an annuity in thier name.
The money could not be touched until thier 18th birthday.
Here's the catch.
The child MUST maintain a C average through out school.
Business and Finance is a mandatory subject from day one every semester.
At 18 yrs. old the annuity would be worth millions ($).
The child could use a small portion of the money to further thier education.
At 22 yrs. old the child can use all the money but an amount that would pay the child
$50,000 annually for he rest of thier life.
Upon death the money will go back to the U.S. because all children have thier own account.
If the child doesn't want to further thier education or has less than a C average in school they
could only live off the interest of the annuity. They could not touch the money.
Upon death the money goes back to the U.S..
Presto! No more poor.
Plenty of smart business and finance people spending millions ($) to do what?
You guessed it, ADVERTISE!
