Revenue Sharing Sites

Author: Jo Mark

I write and submit articles everyday. It’s a situation that works well for me. I enjoy writing, it brings traffic to my sites, and it makes me money. If you are like me and submit articles on a regular basis, why not submit your articles to sites that share some of the revenue that they are making.

Most article submission sites work this way:

You work hard writing your article.
You spend your valuable time submitting that article to numerous sites.
Their computer posts your article after it is automatically loaded up with ads.
Visitors read your articles and click on the ads they contain.
The submission site makes ALL of the money.

Why should the submission site make all of the money? After all, you are the one who worked hard writing the article. You are the one who spent your valuable time submitting it. Why shouldn’t you make some of the money?

I don’t really mind that these sites make all of the money; after all, it is a business. But some of these sites act like they’re doing me a favor by posting my article!

If you’re tired of doing all of the work and allowing someone else to make all of the money, check out some of the revenue sharing sites. They work a little differently, but basically, they place ads in your articles and as people click on those ads, they split the money that those clicks generate. Some sites give you 100% of the income, others give you 50%. Either way, it is better than nothing.

Following is a list of sites that share revenue with you:

Helium
Savvify
Hotwebtools
Articlewise
Oocuz
Senserely
Xomba

As long as you are writing and submitting articles anyway, why not submit to sites that are willing to put a little money in your pocket. To be honest, you are not going to retire by using the sites above, but you could make enough to buy the occasional lunch.

So, if you are tired of doing all of the work and making none of the money, add the revenue sharing sites above to the list that you submit your articles to and go out to lunch tomorrow.

Why it is the Best Form of Advertising

Author: Lee Ruleman

You can market any product with article marketing. There is no product that cannot benefit from the use of article marketing. It does not matter what type of product or service that you are selling, article marketing can be used to promote it.

Take myself for instance. I create products that help others in the article marketing process and use article marketing to promote it. I also love video games and write products for those who play them. This I also promote using the very same strategy.

Both of my endeavors are prospering and the only advertising that I use is article marketing.

This type of promotion can is very adaptable and works well with any product or service. All you have to do is write articles based upon the niche that your product falls into.

For my article marketing business I write articles that teach others how to use this advertising medium to grow their business. When writing for my gaming list I write articles that give advice and information on numerous games. Both of my lists have their own products and their own leads.

The beauty of article marketing is that it allows you to bring visitors to your site that are highly targeted. When I write for my gaming list I do not have to worry that the readers who click through to my site are interested in other things. If they take the time to read my article then they are interested in gaming.

The same holds true for my article marketing list. If a reader visits my site they are interested in exactly what I am writing about.

In my opinion there is no better cost effective way to reach my readers. Article marketing costs me nothing but my time. If you really want to reach readers who are interested in your niche then article marketing is something that you should be doing and doing now.

How to Understand What your Readers Want

Author: Lee Ruleman

Understanding what your readers want to know is a powerful tool to use in any marketing strategy. Big name advertisers spend millions of dollars every year trying to get inside the heads of their customers. It has been said that knowledge is power and that is very true in the article marketing world as well.

Knowing exactly what your readers want to read will boost your traffic and sales exponentially. Using a very simple tactic will literally explode your business if done consistently.

If you knew exactly which questions you readers want answered would you have everything that you needed to turn that knowledge into cash? You most certainly would.

“Reading the mind” of your readers is not as hard as you might thing it to be if you just know where to look. One of the biggest keys to understanding what your readers want is the use of online message boards and forums.

There are thousands of forums spread across the internet covering any and every subject. Use them to learn exactly what readers want to read about. It is really very easy.

Search for message boards based on your niche. Join the message board and start scanning the various topics. You can bet that the topics that are discussed the most are exactly what your readers want to know about.

Make a list of topics that are under discussion and then use that list to write your articles. If you use this kind of research your articles will always be on the cutting edge of exactly what your readers want. Satisfied readers turn into subscribers and customers.

an Easy 4 Step Recipe for Success

Author: Lee Ruleman

Do you know how to turn readers into subscribers? Article marketing is one of the easiest ways to do just that. Use your articles to guide your readers to your website, offer a free product and you will find that readers turn to subscribers quite easily.

Here is my recipe for turning article marketing into success

1.) One Part High Quality Article

Start with writing short 250 to 350 word articles about the niche that you are working in. Make them informative, easy to understand, and interesting and you have one of the main ingredients to a recipe for success.

2.) Two Parts Killer Headline
Your headline is probably the most important part of your article. Write a compelling headline that will stand up, grab your reader by the collar and scream “READ ME.” Powerful headlines attract readers. Weak ones attract no one.

3.) One Part Resource Box
Write a resource box that gets clicks. You resource box is a very valuable piece of real estate and you need to use it to guide your reader to your website. Always write it in third person, include your name, a few sentences about yourself, an offer of a free product and a like to your squeeze page.

4.) One Part Article Directory
Choose a handful of reputable article directories to which you will submit your high quality articles. There are literally hundreds of them out there but I suggest that you submit to a simple handful.

Use this recipe to present something to your readers that they just cannot turn down and you will be well on the way to success.

Generate Traffic

Author: Jo Mark

People write articles for different reasons. Some people write to see their name in print, others try to generate traffic to their blog or website, and some write articles to generate income. I write for traffic and income. And, I must admit, it has worked out quite well on both fronts.

Before I started writing articles, the traffic to my sites was growing quite slowly, as was my income. One month I made $3.67, the next month I made $5.21. Hardly enough to live on!

I did some intensive research to develop a strategy to increase my income as well as traffic to my site and do it as cheaply as possible. I researched hundreds, maybe thousands, of articles on the subjects. I concluded that I could achieve both of my goals quite effectively by writing articles.

When I began marketing articles, I focused primarily on the income they could generate. The traffic was an added bonus. All of the articles I write are targeted to correspond to a product or service I’m promoting. This strategy has worked extremely well for me. In my first month using this method, I made $167. This represented a huge increase over prior months. Now, after applying this strategy for a little over six months, I make several thousand per month and it’s growing very nicely. Of course, to make this kind of money, you have to write a lot of articles. You will not achieve these results by writing 10 articles per month! You have to write and submit several articles each day.

With each of my articles, I carefully craft a resource box with either two or three links. Each resource box is targeted to the information contained in that article. Each link is closely related to the subject of that article. If a reader was interested in my article, they will probably be interested in the related links that I provide in my resource box.

If readers like my style of writing, the information I provide, and the design of my article, they will click on my links. If they do not like the article, they will most likely leave the article before finishing it. For that reason, those who are interested in the topic and like my style will click my link.

My website provides me with another advantage. I offer many free ebooks, pdf’s, and articles at my site. And, as a general rule, people like free stuff. I publicize this fact in my resource box and get plenty of traffic from my articles. If you want to generate additional traffic, offer people plenty of stuff for free.

When You Know She's Mad

Everything about her says she’s mad. The tone of her voice tells you she’s mad (if she’s speaking to you). The way she’s standing tells you she’s mad. If she's throwing things at you or turns away when you touch her, you know she’s mad at you. When she’s mad, your life is miserable, and the longer it takes you to rectify the situation the worse it’s going to get.

We’re men and we’re fallible. They’re kind, loving, sentimental and forgiving. We’re pigs. We lovie them just the way they are but to them we'll always be a work in progress. We don’t have to understand them, just love them and treat them with respect. Sometimes loving them means that we have to apologize for a real or imagined injury. Forget about whether you were right or wrong. It doesn't matter, and sometimes being right makes things worse. You’re really apologizing because she's sad. And when she’s sad YOU will be miserable especially if you're the reason.

So we’ve provided you with some common screw-ups and ways to make amends for them. Keep in mind though that the best way to fix a problem is to avoid it in the first place. So even if you’re not in the dog house yet, here’s a great list of problems to avoid. Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list of issues and we don't guarantee that they'll work for your particular screw-up. Remember, we are men and there is no limit to the number of ways that we can piss her off.

But Why?

It really helps to have this bit of information. Some women will tell you right from the start what you did that upset them. Some like to extend the torture by not giving you a hint. You could ask, but you’ve tried that before and it usually didn’t work. You got that most infuriating of all answers,’ "If you don’t know, I’m not going to tell you". Damn! You just made things worse.

This is not the time to make assumptions or start mentally rolling through all of the possible indiscretions she may have found out about. What ever you do, don’t start apologizing for things she may not know about yet. No point in giving her more reasons to be mad. Start simple, first check the date.

Did You Forget Her Birthday?

Bad move Nimrod. This one is almost too stupid to talk about here. She only has one birthday a year. Find out her birth date and WRITE IT DOWN. The Calendar Is Your Friend! Assuming you have some type of calendar; paper, electronic or written on the walls of your cave (if you truly haven’t discovered technology yet), there’s no reason to ever forget it again. This is bad but it’s fixable.

Is today her birthday? If it’s not evening yet you still have time to save the day, but you have to act fast. Quickly put together a romantic dinner at her favorite restaurant or have it catered at home by a gourmet restaurant (Pizza delivery or Chinese take-out do not count). If there’s still time, get on the phone and order flowers and have them delivered to her at work. If it’s too late for flower delivery beat feet to the nearest florist and buy a dozen roses (more would be an admission of guilt).

Was her birthday yesterday? Worse, but still fixable. Look at the calendar (sorry, we’ve already determined that you don’t know how to use a calendar). Ask someone what day of the week it is (not her, Dummy). There’s a 71% chance that it’s a weekday (don’t try to do the math, take my word for it) and if that’s the case you can still use the solution above. You’re just going to move dinner to the weekend. Of course, since you have more time to plan, it had better be more elaborate. Invite another couple or two and now it’s a surprise party (damn you’re brilliant).

Was it a week ago or longer? Then you’re screwed, or more appropriately not, possibly for several weeks. At this point overkill is what’s called for. First, a sincere apology is in order. Admit that you’re an unfeeling emotionally deprived moron and never really deserved any one as special as she is (it’s probably true, you did forget her birthday). SELL IT. Make her believe that you really mean it and that it will never happen again (show her your new electronic toy with her birthday already entered into it). Now it’s time to make it up to her and the more elaborate and expensive the gift the better. If you can’t console her with chocolates, delight her with diamonds.

Did You Forget An Anniversary?

This one is a little more complicated. It does involve using a calendar for the major events, like your wedding, however women sometimes have a tendency to romanticize events that we may consider trivial. Like your first date or your first kiss or the first time you… OK you can figure out the rest. Remember she still has the corsage from her senior prom pressed in a book and the ticket stub from her first concert with what’s his name.

If it’s your wedding anniversary, see the solutions above for the forgotten birthday. You may also want to add an additional gift depending on how many years you’ve been married. If it’s one of the minor anniversaries (like your first date) then you’re probably not going to figure it out. We don’t understand why they’re so sentimental and they don’t understand why we’re not. If you want to restore harmony then fall on your sword and apologize.

Admit that we as a gender are mindless pigs, inherently stupid and everything we know is wrong. A small sentimental gift will usually suffice in this instance. Roses aren’t necessary, a small bouquet or a heart shaped locket would be better. And Don’t Forget the Card. In each of the above scenarios, a card is still warranted. Write a heart felt message in the card not just "Love Bubba". Tell her how you really feel and how miserable life would be without her. Tell her how beautiful and wonderful she is. Be sincere. It may sound corny but women never tire of hearing it. Let her know that she would be difficult if not impossible to replace (please don’t use these words).

Does This Make My Butt Look Fat?

I don’t believe you fell for this one. The best way to answer this question is to avoid it all together. If you can’t avoid it then a QUICK answer is required. If you take too long to answer, you’re dead. A good response could be something like this: "Sweetheart, you look sexy in anything" or "That dress was made for you". However, if what’s she’s wearing really doesn’t look good, a response like this might work: "I really liked that black dress you wore last week" or "That color doesn’t highlight your eyes like the green dress".

If you do screw up and answer in the affirmative then you need to prove to her that you still think she’s beautiful and sexy. This is one of the few situations where lingerie is a gift for her and not you. Sexy (not sleazy) lingerie might work, along with chocolates or flowers. Whatever you do, don’t buy her a gym membership or a piece of workout equipment.

Did You Have A Night Out With The Boys And "Forget" To Call Again?

If you’re like me you probably didn’t forget to call, you just decided to delay the argument until you got home. Maybe you didn’t want her to know exactly where you and the "boys" were hanging out. Whichever the case, you’d think that as an adult you could spend a little time with your friends without a hassle. Think again Bubba. This is one of the numerous situations where you didn’t actually do anything wrong but she’ll be pissed at you anyway. Guess who’s going to need to apologize to restore harmony? You've got it, you are.

This one is not too hard to fix. Take her to dinner or to a show SHE wants to see or another activity that you’ve been avoiding for a while, like the tour of the Botanical Gardens. This let’s her know that while you still feel the need for male bonding (which any reasonable person would understand) your best quality time is spent with her, no matter what the activity is. And as another reasonable individual, you should understand her need to feel at least as important as the "boys". Remember, she went with you to the Monster Truck Rally and didn’t complain (much).

Did You Spend Too Much Money On That New Toy?

Let’s face it, women are more practical then we are. We complain that she just bought another pair of shoes and we come home with a $50,000 SUV that we just had to have. Buying her presents is not the cure for this one. You just picked up a $600/month payment that wasn’t in the budget, spending more money isn’t going to solve this problem. You are going to have to give up something BIG. You might start with the night out with the boys.

Did She Catch You Eying Another Woman?

This one isn’t as bad as it sounds. You can easily recover from this if you act quickly. The second you know you’ve been caught, make a comment like; "That dress would really look much better on you" or "I wonder how much surgery she’s had". A good rule of thumb is that usually the snider the remark the better. Just make sure your comment fits the situation and always make sure that it shows your wife or girlfriend in a better light. She may not buy it but she’ll usually let you off the hook.

Does She Suspect You’ve Been Out With Another Woman?

If she hasn’t said it aloud but you think she suspects you’ve been with another woman, you probably have. However, it could be perfectly innocent. Find out what she knows or suspects before you do anything. Maybe her girlfriend saw you at a restaurant with another woman. There may be a reasonable explanation, if not, think quick and learn to be more discrete in the future.

If she had any real proof, she would confront you with it. As long as she hasn’t accused you of something, there’s a doubt in her mind. Don’t change your normal behavior or start showering her with gifts; you’ll only convince her that her suspicions were right. Ignore her suspicions until she actually accuses you, then deny it.

Does She Know You’ve Been Out With Another Woman?

How stupid are you? Didn’t I tell you to be discrete? What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas but you live in St. Louis dumb ass. You are now at her mercy. Let’s just hope that she is more forgiving than you are smart. Forgiveness will be on HER terms and she knows it. Prepare yourself for weeks if not months of some very serious groveling as well as solitary sex.

First, whatever (or whoever) she caught you doing STOP IT! Tell her how stupid you were (she already knows, but tell her anyway), tell her how much you love her over and over again, tell her that you’re sorry that your inability to control yourself has caused her so much pain. Beg for forgiveness and cry if you have to (they love it when we’re vulnerable).

Shower her with attention and convince her that it will never happen again and that you’d do anything not to lose her. If she’s your girlfriend, this may be the right time to propose. If she’s your wife, a diamond ring is usually cheaper than a lawyer and if you really want to keep her it may require buying her a Lexus. If she does decide not to leave your miserable ass, it will take a long time for her to trust you again (if ever).

However, if the other woman is her sister, best friend or worst enemy, abandon all hope. You're dead.

Gone are the days when mom-and-dad chose your partner and the family had to make the decision of who was best for you. Bar-hopping to find the perfect soul mate can be overrated as well, and may result in finding your so-called Mr./Ms. Right who happens to sit on your number for a month.

• It is easy to find people who are single, just like you! 6StarReviews.com compares online dating services like True, that screen daters to see if public records match their posted marital status. No need to worry if John has a wife at home and claims he’s single and looking.

• It’s cheaper to date online in the beginning: For the cost of subscription fees to an online dating service, you probably would have spent that amount on just two cocktails plus tip on a date!

• No need for uncomfortable silence on a date; you only meet those you truly make a connection with.

• Less confusion: Ever been in a situation where you wonder if she likes you as much you like her? Online dating eliminates these feelings because you are free to talk to as many people as you want, when you want.

• Looks aren’t the first thing your potential partner will see. Sure, they may see a photograph of you, but if you’re having a bad hair day, so what?

• There’s always a new singles pool: Forget trying to impress the same guy at your job who hasn’t given you the time of day for three years: find new, fresh faces through Internet dating.

For successful online dating

There are essential ingredients to online dating. A good description and a photo.

It isn't necessary to be a gifted to write a meaningful post but it is necessary to give some thought and consideration of how you want to be presented in the online dating community.

A well thought out description of your needs are and what your wants and desires are, will always work better than a basic summary of who and what you are.

The most important rule to remember when writing a dating ad is that the more content and descriptive you are the better.

Typical ads my name is Joe Bloggs. I'm 99 years old, grey , divorced with a 39 year old son. I like the country, dining out, 20's music. I'd like to meet someone 80 to 90 years old who's ready to settle down and who has similar interests to me.

you get the idea don't you. lets re-write and show you how to add zest and interest to your profile.

Hi, my name is joe I'm almost 99 years young; instead of I'm 99 years old.

Your description needn't be mediocre; grey , that does not really say anything, try short silver hair, or have silver highlights which i wear short.

Include your status as it is an important part of who you are; single, divorced etc

Is more revealing than divorced with a 39-year-old son.

A bit about what you like and expand on it why do you like what you like I love the country and the fresh air, Italian restaurants and sushi, listening to my favorite music from the 20's and long slow country drives,

I like the country; dining out, country drives, 20's music doesn't tell the story and leaves a lot more questions than answers.

And what do you want in return; ask and the chances are you will get a better return

I'd like to meet a lady who is about my age with or without children of her own. It may be someone who may be ready to settle down and commit herself to a serious relationship if all the vibes are right. I'm not looking for frantic activity times, sporty types or constant parties, I dislike smoke as it affects my wellbeing.

Online dating, say yes or no?

Is MillionaireCupid.com really the home for single sugar daddies and mommies? It certainly appears so. Charlie Sheen apparently met someone on here. Is that the type of millionaire you’re after? We took a look to see if this lofty idea was good enough to take to the bank and here is what we found...

The media seems to love this site. And from what we can tell, so do a large number of online singles. It has gained a decent amount of popularity over the past couple of years and that makes it worth a look, if nothing else.

The profile quality on Millionaire Cupid seems quite high. The majority of the profiles we searched had pictures. The lure of the targeted demographic probably helps play into the success of this site and the dedication of its members to provide information to attempt to attract the best, and perhaps richest, mate possible.

“MillionaireCupid.com has a golden niche and serves it up on a silver spoon.”

MillionaireCupid.com has set itself up to cater to a high-end clientele yet it appears less impressive than you might expect. First off, the graphics are a little simple and lack the sophisticated polish you would see on more established dating sites. The logo looks awry with so much empty space and staggered name. There’s a page-turn in the bottom left of the screen that seems completely bizarre and the color scheme is rather unremarkable.. Although there are certain flaws in presentation, none are deep enough to really hinder the flow and usability of this site. However, despite the targeted niche, it looks like these millionaires scrimped on design.

Search options are about as robust as any on the Net. However, Millionaire Match only lets paid members have full access to them. As a free users, you have to make due with searches that specify age, gender country and a distance of no less than a 100-mile radius. If you have a paid membership, you can get as close as 50 miles. You also can’t search strictly by high-income if you haven’t paid for a membership.

People looking to see if Millionaire Cupif is worth their time and effort will like the options available to them on this site. You can search any of the profiles, send winks of interest, receive email and use the chat board without paying first. This should be more than you need to determine if you want to become a member. It deserves a second mention here that despite all you can do for free, you can’t see how busy the site is because last log-in date is kept secret to free members. Maybe this also explains why there are so few people who have clicked to check out our profile…

There are a number of common extra features available to members on the site. As a free member, you can use the chat board to strike up conversations. Members gain access to the ‘Ask April’ dating tips section, the ability to see who has viewed your profile, see who is interested in you and to browse new members.

MillionaireCupid.com has a golden niche and serves it up on a silver spoon. Most of the down sides to this site are superficial so it’s certainly worth a look, even if you’re not raking in six figures.

Online Dating: Use Your Common Sense

If you’ve been around the internet dating scene for more than the last couple of years, you’ve witnessed the industry grow from a kind of sleazy, underground entity into a multi-billion dollar a year behemoth of wonderfully engaging and classy websites.

Of course, some areas of the dating services on the web continue a sleaze factor, but after all, the internet does imitate the actual world, doesn’t it?

The one quality everyone needs to possess in this wild, roller-coaster world of ours and in the world of the internet remains constant: common sense! And, in the world of internet dating, this common sense approach is mandatory.

A number of common sense approaches to internet dating are simple and easy to remember and easy to put into practice.

1. Don’t identify yourself in an online dating environment. Get yourself one of the many free email accounts offered on the web. Do not release your real name, your address or telephone number in any way. If you feel a contact you make can be trusted…wait! Time is on your side. The urge to be impatient and hook-up with someone quickly is inevitable, but wait.

2. When you’re composing a personal ad or when you’re in a chat room or instant message, be honest about yourself and make your intentions easy to understand. Want to just flirt? Make it known that you are just flirting! Don’t give anyone a reason to think you’re someone you’re not.

3. “Listen” and “watch” what is going on with the person you are communicating with. Again…common sense is the rule. If something seems to be amiss with the other person, if a feeling of uneasiness with the direction of the conversation, gracefully bow out. Your intuition is almost never wrong! Never let your emotions pour out of you…even if you think you may have found the “right” match…wait until you meet in person. Then, you’ll really find out what’s up with them!

4. If the other person seems to be pushing the idea of talking on the phone, wait until it feels right for you. You are in control over everything that transpires, remember that. When you do start a telephone “meeting”, ask for their number if it makes you feel more secure. Then you can call when you want to, not at the whim of the other contact. Again, listen to everything in that call…the contact’s voice: sincere or somewhat demanding? The sounds in the background: kids yelling, baby crying, any instance that doesn’t seem right to you…the person may not have been truthful in what they have told you about themselves. Common sense!

5. When and if you decide to meet face to face, tell your family (yikes!) or a friend or trusted co-worker about the plans. Tell them exactly what your time-frame regarding the date will be and where you are going. If plans change, like going from a meeting in a coffee shop to a walk in a park, let someone know! It would be a good idea beforehand to let the person you are going to meet that you only want an “open” date…..with people around. If they act rebuffed or a little miffed at that, they aren’t interested in you feeling secure. Don’t agree to go any further!

And…maybe the most important aspect of this first, maybe second or even third meeting with this person…have your own transportation! Do not depend on them to pick you up. Observing the obvious…it also gives you a way out of you are least bit uncomfortable. If you are…leave! No car of your own? Call friends immediately or grab a cab…you are in control!

Internet dating can be a lot of fun, but as with anything in life, it only takes one bad apple to spoil everything. Be cautious, use every ounce of your intuition and common sense and enjoy yourself! All three can work together…you have all the control!

Dating Advice for Divorced and Widowed Moms

Getting into a relationship post divorce or death of a spouse can be scary.

It had been a year since Sally’s divorce had come through. Her twins Jason and Emma had just celebrated their thirteenth birthday and things were looking up for her professionally. John had stood by Sally like a rock through a very difficult year. Mutual attraction was there, but at the same time there was nagging fear and doubt.

Sally is just one among several moms who are divorced or widowed and can’t seem to take a step in the direction of a new relationship. Here is some http://www.eromance.com/local/dateideas.html>date ideas for divorced and widowed moms.

The first all important step is to put the past behind you. A divorce or death of spouse is a difficult experience that leaves people embittered. But life must go on, and if you have a partner by your side there is someone you can turn to for comfort. So begin by letting go of all the pain and sense of loss and don’t feel guilty about looking for love again.

Make sure that you give yourself enough time to recover from your break up or loss. Getting in to a relationship too soon after a break up is a fatal mistake. While love on the rebound offers a cushion of comfort, it is an option which if taken could color your vision for a short time. When reality bites at a later stage, things might not be quite the same. This also does not mean that you mope around or mourn forever.

An important piece of dating advice for divorced and widowed moms is related to the kids. It’s important to remember that you’re not alone. Your kids are an important part of your life and if they live with you post divorce, then you have to consider how your partner relates to them and vice-versa.

If you’ve found a partner and think your relationship has adequate potential then talk to your kids first. Make them comfortable with the idea of someone else joining the inner circle in your life.

If your partner is a parent himself, he will understand and identify with your concerns. But if he’s not then you must have an honest and open talk about your concerns in that area.

An important consideration is the age of the kids involved. In Sally’s case, her kids are quite grown up and at an age where they can understand their mother’s need for a relationship. But sometimes, even older kids can be resentful of their mother’s new partner. In this case it’s necessary for you and your new partner to discuss how to go about it.

Make sure your kids feel safe and comfortable with your partner, especially if you have a young daughter. Plan a fun activity that you and your partner can enjoy with the kids. Your kids need not take up all your time together but make sure they are in the picture and not on the periphery.

A brief history of online dating November 30, 2007

A brief history of online dating

The introduction and singles dating industry is not new. In fact, dating and singles clubs have been around for many years. Bob Hope said in the early 1950's, "I once sent my photograph to a Lonely Hearts club and they sent it back saying, thanks but we are not that lonely". The Lonely Hearts club image lasted nearly as long as Bob Hope himself and was the butt of many comedians' jokes, which gave the dating industry an image that only desperate and lonely people join such clubs.

The internet has changed many things and nowhere has it had a larger impact than with the dating industry. Online dating websites started to bring a younger audience to the dating and singles matchmaking industry, where these systems would conveniently email you people in your area who were also looking to meet other single people. The fact that these early sites, as many poor quality sites still do today, would simply collect as many photographs as possible and send them to you, would frequently result in you opening your email only to have a photo staring out at you that could scare a police horse.

The better quality online dating sites such as chancetomeet.com, have highly developed searches and tools such as "connect phrases" to help you find the right person. There is good evidence that the sites that charge for membership have a much higher quality of contact, with the more you pay the more serious the member. Free sites or sites that charge a nominal amount tend to attract the "one night stand" end of the market and tend to have page after page of contacts that you have to trawl through with little or no information about that person, apart from the fact they like holidays, nice people and watching the X factor, with dislikes of people who bring an axe on the first date!

The future of online dating, whether you are looking for the chance to meet a long term partner, or maybe looking for something more casual, does seem to be assured, as the high divorce rate and number of people staying single looks set to continue globally in the years to come.

However, things are about to change in the future of online dating, just as dating changed with the advent of the internet. Only this time it may be even more of a revolution, as computers get faster along with Internet connection speeds. These advances will bring more exciting ways to date and meet people as social networking sites have recently shown. As computer graphics improve, we will see Virtual reality start to become the norm in online dating. Chancetomeet.com has been developing technologies in this area ready to take advantage of faster computing power and are preparing to launch these new services in the near future.

The Easiest Money To Make Online?

For the last couple of months, Google Adsense has dominated forums, discussions and newsletters all over the Internet. Already, there are tales of fabulous riches to be made and millions made by those who are just working from home. It seems that Google Adsense have already dominated the internet marketing business and is now considered the easiest way to making money online.

The key to success with Adsense is the placing of ads on pages that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords. The higher the cost-per-click to the advertiser, the more you will receive per click from your site. Obviously, it does not pay to target low cost-per-click keywords and place them on pages that do not receive hits.

With all the people getting online and clicking away everyday, it is no wonder why Google Adsense has become an instant hit.

For some who are just new to this market, it would be a blow to their pride knowing that their homepage is buried somewhere in the little ads promoting other people’s services. But then, when they get the idea that they are actually earning more money that way, all doubts and skepticism is laid to rest.

There are two major, and clever, factors that some successful webmaster and publishers are learning to blend together in order to make money easier using Adsense.

1. Targeting high traffic pages on your website. If you check on your logs, you will discover that many of your visitors are taking advantage of the free affiliate marketing resources and ebooks that you are offering on your site. In simple words, your ads are working effectively and are generating more clicks. It also means more money for you.

2. Placing Adsense links on pages that are producing little, or better yet, no profit. By placing Adsense on a free resources page, you will reduce the amount of potential customers being lost to other sites. Tricky, but effective nonetheless.

When learned to work effectively, these two factors are actually a good source of producing a minimal amount of revenue from a high traffic page. Many people are using this strategy to pick up some extra and cash with Adsense. This is also especially rewarding to informational sites that focus their efforts on delivering powerful affiliate link free content to their visitors. Now they can gain a monetary return on their services.

With the many techniques that people are now learning on how to make the easiest money by their Adsense, it is not surprising that Google is trying everything to update and polish their Adsense in order to maintain their good image.

The possibility of adding is 2nd tier in Adsense is not impossible. With all the people spending more time in their Adsense now and still more getting into this line of marketing, there is no doubt about the many new improvements yet to be made. Imagine the smiles on the faces of the webmasters and publishers all around the world if ever they sign up for sub-affiliates and double or even triple the amount that they are already earning.

Monetizing Your Website With Adsense Is Profitable!

How do you maximize your site?

By earning some few dollars per click from displaying Adsense ads on it. Many are now realizing that good money is made from this source of revenue. Try the simple mathematical computation of multiplying those clicks for every page on your website and you get a summation of earnings equivalent to a monthly residual income with that little effort you have made.

Google Adsense is a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to display relevant and text-based Google ads on their website’s content pages and earn money in the process. The ads displayed are related to what your users are looking for on your site. This is the main reason why you both can monetize and enhance your content pages using Adsense.

How much you will be earning will depend on how much the advertisers are willing to pay. It will depend also on the keywords required. If the keywords the advertiser have chosen are in high demand, you could receive more dollars per click. On the other hand, low demand keywords will earn you just a few cents per click.

How can you start making profits out of your website using Adsense?

1. Sign up for an Adsense account. It will only take a few minutes of your time.

2. When the site is accepted, you will be receiving a clip code to include in your web pages. You can insert this code on as many pages or web sites that you want. The AdWords will start appearing immediately after.

3. You will be earning a few cents or some dollars per click when someone starts clicking on the AdWords displayed on any of your web pages. Trying to earn false revenues by repetitively clicking on your own ads is a no-no. This will result in a penalty or the possibility of your site being eliminated. The money you have already earned may be lost because of this.

4. View your statistics. Adsense earnings can be checked anytime by logging into your web site account.

Once you got your account working, you may still want to pattern them to the many sites that are earning more money than you are. It is important to note that there are factors affecting how your website will perform and the amount of money it will give you.

2. Using white space around your ad. This can make your ad stand out from the rest of your page so visitors can spot them easily. There are also other choices of colors you can use, provided by search engines, which can harmonize the color of your ad with the web page color.

2 Surefire Ways To Maximize Your Adsense Earnings

Most webmasters know that Adsense generates a sizeable source of additional advertising income. That is why most of them use it to go after high paying keywords. They have with them the lists that tells what the keywords are and have already used various methods of identifying them. And yet, after putting up these supposed-to-be high paying keywords into their pages, the money they expected to come rolling in is not really coming in.

What is it that they are doing wrong?

Having the pages is with the proper keywords is one thing. But driving visitors to those pages is another matter and often the factor that is lacking.

The thing is, to get visitors to your high paying keyword pages, you need to optimize your site navigation.

Stop for a moment and think about how visitors are using your website. After a visitor has landed on a certain page, they have the tendency to click on another page that sounds interesting. They get there because of the other links that appears on a page that they initially landed on. This is site navigation. It is all about enabling visitors to move about your site. And one way of maximizing your Adsense earnings.

A typical website have menu links on each page. The wording on these links is what grabs a visitor’s attention and gets them to click on one of the links that will take them to another page of that website. Links that have "free’ or "download" are oftentimes good attention-grabbers.

This navigation logic can also be applied to driving traffic to your high paying pages. There are some websites that are getting a lot of traffic from search engines, but have low earnings. The trick is to try and use come cleverly labeled links to get the visitors off that pages and navigate them to the higher earning ones. This is one great way of turning real cheap clicks to real dollars.

Before you begin testing if this same style will work for you and you website, you need to have two things. Something to track and compare and some high earning pages you want to funnel your site traffic to. An option is to select a few of your frequently visited pages. This is ensuring fast result to come by.

Now, the next thing to do is think of ways to get visitors viewing a particular page to try and click on the link that will take them to your high earning pages. Come up with a catchy description for that link. Come up with a catchy and unique description for the link. Think of something that people do not get to see everyday. That will trigger their curiosity enough to try and see what that was all about.

You can also use graphics to grab your readers’ attention. There is no limitation to what you can do to make your link noticeable. If you are after the success of your site, you will do everything it takes just to achieve that goal. Just be creative. As far as many Adsense advertisers are concerned, there are no written and unwritten laws to follow regarding what they write. Just as long as you do not overstep the guidelines of the search engines, then go for it.

Also remember that it is all about location, location and location. Once the perfect attention grabbing description has been achieved, you have to identify the perfect spot on your page to position that descriptive link to your high paying page.

There is nothing wrong with visiting other websites to see how they are going about maximizing their site navigation. "Hot pages" or "Most read" lists are very common and overly used already. Get to know the ones that many websites are using and do not try to imitate them.

Another way of doing it is to try and use different texts on different pages. That way you will see the ones that work and what does not. Try to mix things around also. Put links on top and sometimes on the bottom too. This is how you go about testing which ones get more clicks and which ones are being ignored.

Let the testing begin. Testing and tracking until you find the site navigation style that works best for you site.
