SiteSell Review: Is SiteSell Just Overpriced Web Hosting? by Eden Paul

Filed under: Web Hosting — freinage @ 8:42 pm

You may have stumbled across SiteSell somewhere on the internet. Maybe you were looking for affiliate marketing programs. Maybe you were looking for a work at home job. Then you saw that they charged $300 for one website and you thought that they were crazy. Why do they charge $300 when you can get free web hosting somewhere else?

Let’s compare what you get from SiteSell and what you get from another web host.

First let’s look at free web hosting. Most free web hosts place ads on your sites. If someone clicks on that ad, they get the revenue. You can’t control what ads go on your site and it can look very unprofessional. This is fine for personal use, but not to run a business.

Then is a low-priced web host a better choice? Absolutely. If all you want to do is make some pocket change or have a cute blog out there for your friends and family to visit, then finding a low-priced web host is the key for you. Many good choices are GoDaddy, BluHost and Yahoo.

However, if you wanted to start an online business that requires a lot of tools, a lot of traffic and comes with a great support network, the $300 for SiteSell will be a bargin. Most SiteSell clients have little or no working knowledge of how to build a website and yet they can put up a SEO optimized website complete with RSS feeds, autoresponders, and even on online store without needing to hire a website design company or programmer. They also have access to keyword tools, forums, an complete business guide and more.

The conclusion? If you want a little hobby, pick the cheapest web host you can find. If you mean business, SiteSell might be the wiser choice for you.

Online Video Marketing by Mac Craig

Internet video marketing : Watch your sales soar!

A lot of people prefer watching to reading, especially on the computer screen. Calling movies a ‘video’ is actually a misnomer – it is ‘audio + video’ or what is called an AV. Audio Visuals have been seen to have a far greater retention level among internet viewers than written information.

It is no wonder, therefore, that video advertising is fast becoming a major internet marketing tool for selling products and services.

Advantages of Internet Video Advertising

The main advantage of Internet marketing videos over the traditional text format approach is that videos can get to the point much faster. Even a static visual is worth a thousand words, it is taught in graphic design schools. Imagine what a moving visual, or the movie, can do in delivering your message to the viewer.

The viral edge is another advantage Internet videos have over other traditional marketing channels. There is no better marketing strategy than ‘word-of-mouth’. Websites continually share and serve popular content driven by user choice. The speed at which videos are picked up, shared, and distributed is unparalleled to any other.

Internet Video sharing sites like ‘youtube’ are a rage today, and this is a reflection of the choice of internet surfers. New sites like LeadsbyVideo are coming up with video sharing innovations which are great for online marketing.

A video ad can actually demonstrate a product’s usability, so don’t just say it, show it!. A nicely produced visual message with a human touch can do wonders in reaching out emotionally to the customer. Does the quality of the video matter? Yes, of course. Like in other marketing tools, there are experts available who can produce the right movie to suit your product, and budget.

A Few Tips

1. Use the videos on the first page. It’s like handing out your business card. The first page recommends you, and the first impression is a lasting one. Don’t tuck your marketing video away, on some inside page. Make it visible.

2. Always have a ‘call for action’ – something that the customer will feel like doing immediately, like clicking on a link, or filling up a form.

3. Search for the tools that can tell you how much of your video was played before the visitor closed it, how many prospects actually decided to pay your site a visit after watching your video, how many of these visits converted into sales, and so on.

4. Today you can track traffic on the website and analyze results. Make an extra effort to measure the impact that your videos have had on the prospects, and to measure their performance.

5. Use Search Engine Optimization techniques to generate leads. Remember, videos are a gourmet dish for search engines, so give it proper time and prepare it with extra care. Use the right ingredients, so to speak.

Go ahead, share your video!

Spirituality, New Age, Conscious Creation & Dogma – Contrary to the Hype, Your Fate is Measurable by Scott Petullo & Stephen Petullo

Filed under: Spirituality — freinage @ 6:16 pm

We state our theories as the result of our long-term, unbiased, empirical research.

When we first began investigating metaphysical concepts back in the early 1980s, we wanted to believe that we could create anything we desired. Unfortunately or fortunately (depending upon your viewpoint), we’ve found through much empirical research, including thousands of past life regressions and analyzing the numerology and astrology charts of thousands of subjects, that the “you can create and be anything you want in this life” concept is a myth.

Some may ask what past life regression, numerology, and astrology have to do with fate vs. free will. Our answer is a lot. Once you research reincarnation (we’ve listed some sources below), experience multiple past life regressions to find the root causes of personal problems, and have your character and general inclination of your fate outlined by comprehensive astrology and numerology, you will begin to realize that a lot in life is predestined. This is true for everyone: people not involved in metaphysics and gurus; people who don’t believe in God and for those who do; those who make great efforts to “create their reality” and for those who don’t.

Prediction of personal fate is a more than 2000 year-old tradition. The numerology and astrology charts, in ancient times, were used for prediction. Kings, queens, pharaohs, emperors, religious leaders, and other powerful, influential types wanted to capitalize on their fate and be prepared for challenging times.

Many of today’s psychics, astrologers, numerologists, and other readers claim that fate isn’t measurable and deny that it’s possible to predict key life circumstances. Unfortunately, some do so in order to mask their own inability to do accurate prediction. Or, some know that they can gain more business by painting a more idealistic, yet false, picture. Other, well-meaning intuitive professionals may not have gone as deeply into the subjects or are simply fearful of facing the idea that a lot in life is fated.

An incidental: psychology was not part of astrology and numerology until about 100 years ago. Originally, comprehensive astrology and numerology had nothing to do with psychology and everything to do with prediction. This may come as a shock to some practicing modern astrologers who have not looked beyond modern astrological and numerological methods.

Many of today’s New Agers are unaware of the fact that the wisest of the ancients believed that the very fate expertly discerned from the charts was not mutable. It isn’t alterable; you can’t erase it. That means that an aspiring actor who is fated for obscurity won’t ever be a Hollywood A-lister, no matter how inspired he becomes, no matter how much effort he puts into it, no matter how much he works on his subconscious blocks, and no matter how much he consciously believes and tries to “create the life of his dreams.” Is he meant to be an aspiring actor who doesn’t ultimately reach big fame or money? Yes.

We’ve read statements from “best-selling,” New Age, inspirational authors such as “…we are proving that the ancients were right; we can create the life of our dreams!”

That’s particularly telling because all of our research into the teachings of ancient astrologers, mystics, Gnostics, and other respected wise ones clearly shows that the ancients didn’t believe that sort of philosophy.

Predicting fated life events and circumstances was a very serious business in ancient times, whether it was in Ancient Egypt, China, Greece, Persia or elsewhere; if the sage was not consistently correct in his predictions, he was sometimes executed. Astrologers and numerologists like Abu Ali Al-Khayyat, Masha’allah, Alkindi, Bonatti, and Morinus successfully continued the tradition of accurate prediction, becoming legendary in their areas of expertise.

What’s the point of being an intuitive reader if a client can’t get at least a general understanding of his/her fate? If some people instead want flowery feedback without predictive perspective, or just want to chat with a professional, there are plenty of qualified counselors and therapists to fulfill that need.

Too often we’ve seen “conscious creationist” types get carried away with inspiration and thinking that they can create whatever they set their (ego personality) minds to, despite the aspirations likely being outside of their karmic blueprints.

Yes, we are big fans of inspiration, self-improvement, setting and striving to achieve important goals, and making the most of our lives. However, when all of that is done without self-understanding, without asking the question, “who am I and what is it that I am here on earth to learn, what is my dharma, and what is my karma?,” then it becomes problematic.

“Knowing thyself,” and self-understanding come first. Then one is more able to “consciously create” what is in line with their destiny rather than just going for what the ego wants.

Destiny is not something you consciously create or something you choose like what to have for dinner. It’s already set in motion before you incarnate. Again, if you want to explore this concept and understand from experience rather than just hearsay, there are sources listed below; study them and experience past life regression and life between life regression.

Often, we hear of people claiming that they can create/manifest anything they consciously want, and saying that their fate is not predetermined. Then we ask them about their fate (knowing thyself) and they don’t know; worse, they say personal fate doesn’t exist, just that they have “unlimited possibilities” in their lives. Yet they ultimately “create” a reality that is void of those “unlimited possibilities” that they speak of.

So what’s going on here is that they claim that they can “create anything” they desire, but they never tell us what they’ve “created” that is so unusual (that isn’t otherwise predictable–at the very least, the general form of, through comprehensive astrology and numerology), and they never have any clue about their fate since they’ve never delved into the predictive sciences, or consulted with someone who is able to measure fate.

Then there are those who say they know their fate, but that they can also change it. But what they claim is a manifestation of inspirational power outside of their destiny matches what we see as their fate in the comprehensive charts. In other words, they were destined to “create” what they created, and they were destined to experience what they experienced in the journey along the way.

By the way, we also see “miracles” as fate in disguise. We see all significant life events as being predestined. Does this philosophy encourage a passive or neglectful attitude toward life? No. We’ve always advocated getting in touch with who you really are, capitalizing on your strengths, accepting what you can’t change, and assertively going after your goals, goals that are aligned with your personality and your higher-self/soul.

Someone might ask, “How do you know that our destiny is not changed by the way in which we respond to the moment that is currently passing?”

The answer to that is simple. Because fate is measurable, no matter how people respond to the circumstances in their lives. Because destiny is what will be, and what will be is not always what you want to create.

A person’s overall karmic plan, including its key lessons and rewards, isn’t altered by a person “deciding” to do one thing instead of another, such as moving to NYC instead of Wichita. The overall plan was for that person to move to NYC instead of Wichita, and that’s why they did. Even the way people respond, react, and consciously decide to live their lives is predictable, if you get to know their subconscious character well enough.

Ultimately, if people could become anything they wanted, they wouldn’t stay the same. Yet they do for the most part. You talk to people who are going to many New Age seminars, who are determined to “create” the life of their dreams. Then, you see them 20 years later and they may be more wise, aware, or accepting, or inspired, but have they created the life of their dreams? Some have, and some haven’t. Some are fated to experience more love, money, or success, and some are not.

You can’t prove a theory, you can only invalidate it. Thus far, through all our years of empirical research, we haven’t disproved that it’s possible to predict fate.

As we’ve said before, the reason we feel this is so important is that when you are more aware of your fate and who you really are beyond your conscious personality, you are better able to capitalize on your strengths; you avoid spinning your wheels, resulting in frustration, depression, or worse, when you don’t manifest what you wanted.

Ultimately, based on our findings, life is much more about self-understanding, life lessons, and the journey, instead of the destination and reaching for “unlimited opportunities in the universe.”

On the bright side, if a person discovers it is not their fate to, for example, be a successful professional opera singer in this life, we do believe that if that person continues to aspire strongly enough to be a great opera singer that they may very well manifest that desire in a future lifetime. “Gifts” are really talents developed over lifetimes, in our view.

Increasing Vocabulary through Activities by Celia Webb

Filed under: Religion — freinage @ 6:07 pm

Studies show that people learn words best by engaging as many of the five senses as possible. Associating a new word with a smell, touch, taste, or sound helps us recall the word for later use. So in addition to reading on a daily basis and listening to speakers who use a different vocabulary than you do, you can add words to your working vocabulary list by exploring new activities.

The following suggested activities will boost your vocabulary by engaging more of your senses and putting you into word-rich environments.

1. Take a class, any class. Learn a new skill. The skill could be knitting or sport fishing, cooking or carpentry, dancing or playing an instrument. Choose something you are interested in and which requires you to use your hands. Each craft or skill will have its own vocabulary. There will be words to describe the equipment, the processes, and the materials. Since you will be doing something with your hands (and maybe more parts of your body as in dancing), you will trigger more activity in your brain than if you just read the words on a page. The increased activity will create more connections in your brain. Not only will you see the word, you will have an experience to tie to it. You will have paired the word with a motor memory (a physical process you have learned to do like knitting) and sensory memories about the material and tools you work with (like the feel of the knitting needles and yarn in your hands). The greater number of connections your brain is able to make with the word, the more likely it is that the word will become part of your working vocabulary.

2. Visit a museum. Children’s museums are a great choice because they often feature interactive displays. Another good option is a “living museum” where you can talk with a docent who can answer your questions about the exhibits. Many “living museums” (Colonial Williamsburg would be one example) have programs where you get to participate. You’ll learn the words associated with the focus of the museum. Your brain will link the experience of the museum, the items you touched, the activities you participated in, and everything else your senses will record about the trip.

3. Go to the zoo. You’ll find interesting animals with exotic names which originate from many different languages depending on where the animal normally lives. English is a living language which adopts foreign words to name things. The word “yak”, for instance, is from the Tibetan word gyak. You will also learn about each animal’s food and habitat requirements. Many zoos now present shows where a trainer works with an animal and explains about that animal’s particular needs and capabilities. Who can resist a cuddly koala supping on eucalyptus leaves? Once again, your mind will be absorbing the new words along with plenty of additional sensory information to link to the word memory.

4. Garden. The lexicon of gardening is rich with Latin-based words describing plants – their names, the parts of the plant, and their life cycles. Latin provides the roots to many English words in the areas of law, science, and religion. The word “vegetable” for example originated in the Latin word vegetare meaning to enliven, bring to life, or quicken. The word “flower” came from the Latin word flos or floris meaning -surprise! – a flower. Understanding the Latin portions (prefixes, suffixes, and roots) of words can help you deduce the meaning of other words that are new to you. In addition to adding lovely flowers to your hall table or fresh vegetables to your kitchen table, gardening will add valuable words to your vocabulary.

Learning new words can be easier, more enjoyable, and result in better retention if you can use multiple senses in the word-learning process. So add a new activity to your life and you’ll soon master a whole new group of words!

IED, (Intermittent Explosive Disorder) The Making Of A New Disease by Blanche Sharf

Filed under: Gambling — freinage @ 5:55 pm

Do not panic Intermittent Explosive Disorder is not contagious. Though there are real dangers if you confront someone with this new disease. One of the warnings sighs of this disease is anger that can lead to damage property or threaten to injure others. According to a study by Harvard University about 10 million adult men in the U.S. have this disease. The disease is called intermittent explosive disorder or IED.

Do not worry if you never heard of this new disease. It is one of the new fangled diseases made up by a hungry pharmaceutical industry rep. To tell the truth I can not image who comes up with this. Of course they do it for the public’s health. They say in the long run too much anger, could cause heart disease or stroke as reported in Men’s Health. They forget to say the side effect from some medicines is anger.

I wonder what the Middle East residents call this disease. There seems to be particular susceptibility to this there. I thing it can only be though of as a new disease of Americans because they can afford treatment. Basically what is the sense to inventing a disease that the medical community can not profit from? What if all they are seeing is prescription drugs side effects.

Seroquel anger is a serious side effect of patients taking antipsychotic medications. Elderly patients who are taking Seroquel for the treatment of dementia or Alzheimer’s have the greatest risk. Another drug Laveturaceton is used to control some types of seizures in the treatment of epilepsy and a noted side effect is outbursts of anger. Then of course Neurontin Anger, when a patient suffers from this side effect he can injure himself and others. Neurontin is approved by the FDA to treat the nerve pain associated with herpes and shingles. However it is found the most in pediatric patients. Aviane brings about anger in the female population.

They forgot to name a disease for the vast amount of people suffering the side effects of their prescription drugs. In all fairness it should have an official name. We should have the FDA or pharmaceutical experts come up with one. At this time we can call the pharmaceutical induced disease. This condition is reaching epidemic proportion.

We are nation that depends on pharmaceuticals. It probable causes more health problems of a more serious nature that IED or any of the other ridiculous things they name as a new disease. There is a growing list of psychological conditions from video to gambling addiction. None of these are as harmful as the side effects from the mixture of concoctions that the medical establishment puts you on. You can go broke from a video to a gambling addition in no time. The pharmaceutical industry empties your pockets at a slower rate.

Plavix side effects include gastrointestinal bleeding, stroke, heart attack, and other conditions. A recent study found that Plavix taken with aspirin doubles the risk heart attack or stroke in patients. The ever popular statin drugs have side effects. Vytorin, Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor etc. have side effects, from muscle and liver problems the known ones, to little known ones are associated with hostility, aggression and depression. The list can go on and on just like the list of bogus new diseases.

Filter Spam – Make Spam Get Out Of your Inbox by Arvind Singh

Filed under: Computers — freinage @ 5:51 pm

One of the imperative tasks that net users face today is to tackle and filter spam. Spam mails other than being frustrating and irritating can also cause damage to the operating system.

How much time do you spend every day to delete spam or read them? Definitely a sizable amount of the precious productive time is spent on dealing with spam. Almost all internet users using emails and mailboxes encounter this problem. Spam usually carry advertisements or news irrelevant or unnecessary to you and most of all they land in your mailbox without your permission. This is enough cause for you to filter spam using specialized soft wares.

Many software development companies try consistently to block spam by inventing newer methods to filter spam. Both the spammers and the software professional fight parallel to one another. When the experts develop spam filters, the spammers use another method to introduce spam in different ways. It like the world war between the internet giants and like the real war one party fights for the good of the internet users when the other fights to destroy the internet. Who wins the battle is unpredictable as both win and lose simultaneously.

Anti spam software should be thus carefully chosen to filter spam and protect the working environment and save time. The nature of spam, the size of the work force and the capacity of the software to identify real spam from the important mails should be widely analyzed before ordering software. Home users can download free software to fight spam. But business concerns which work on various computers must have software which can delete spam even before it reaches the computers.

Anti appliance spam is also used to filter spam eve before it reaches the mail box. Whenever mail arrives it first passes through the software spam filter where it is scrutinized for authenticity. It is released to the mail box only if it proves to be real mail. Spam mails can come in different forms. It can also come with your friends email id. The spammers collect the most mailed ids through illegal means and send spam mail through them.

The worst part is many spam might prove to carry virus definition and when opened attack the users operating system deleting files and folder. The spam mails may also be Spyware implemented to hawk the users’ private details. Whatever be the type of mail it is always wise to fight it before it becomes malicious to our working environment. Now after reading the above article, you must have got the idea of the fact that fighting spam is not an easy task but with little care and filter spam, you can achieve it.

Alli Oops Is A Weight Loss Diet Pill by Paula Martinez

Filed under: Advertising — freinage @ 5:39 pm

I think by now most people have heard this expression. This is one of the first times a drug has the proper name. Alli is the first Food and Drug Administration approved over-the-counter diet pill. It is fitting that the first over-the-counter diet pill approved by the FDA can make you have out-of-control bowel movements. The FDA is full of it when they say they are the protectors of Americans health.

This drug marketed by GlaxoSmithKline is not new just a repackaged prescription diet pill named Xenical. Ali is a half-dose version of this drug that has been on the market from 1999. The peak sales were in 2000 partly because it did not produce much weight loss results. By making this available over-the-counter they do not need doctor complicity. This is a very good business move.

Surprised? You thought the pill was for your health and well being. What Alli does is reduces the amount of fat the body absorbs from food by 25%. You must reduce the amount of fat you eat because all the unabsorbed fat will leave your system though elimination. One of the side effects is it leaves suddenly, in other words you experience loss of bowel control. That is embarrassing, but the more serious side effects are not talked about.

Alli has some very serious drawbacks. Alli blocks the absorption of certain fat-soluble vitamins. There are essential fats they we do not consume enough of in America. It is dangerous to lower the amount of Omega 3′S and GLA in the diet when the supply is not adequate as it is. Alli blocks the absorption of vitamin D another nutrient the American public is probably short on.

The Consumer group Public Citizen wants a ban on prescription Xenical and Alli because of precancerous colon lesions seen in animals studies. The FDA recommends that all users take a multivitamin in the evening. They are really out there fighting for our welfare. Instead of revoking the approval of the drug Xenical because of its lackluster performance and its side effects, they now let a direct-to-consumer advertising campaign be run by GlaxoSmithKline.

An over-the-counter drug does not have as many controls to see that it is used properly. Remember it is the “drug” companies along with their partner the FDA that gave us fen-phen, and other risky weight loss protocols. The problem that is not being addressed is that the diet plan that comes with Alli is not a good one. It is again based on the notion that the only way to loss weight is on a low-fat diet. Again this is not a good basis for a healthy lifestyle.

Most of the low-fat advice is from people who think in terms of the American High processed food way of eating. The Alli manufacturer is basing there guidelines, on so called research, on a normal way of dieting. Nothing can be further from the truth. Whole foods are the nutrient dense foods the way nature intended. Any fat that is contained in a whole unprocessed food is intended for your consumption and health. Alli Oops is an Oops by any standard.
