Got Traffic?

Everyone wants a web business. Well, not everyone, but a lot of people want to quit their day job and be able to work at home in front of their computer and make their living while being able to spend time with their families.

But how does that happen? Of course you have to have a website. That’s a start. And of course you need something to sell there. That would be a good step. But once you have a product and a website, the people will start coming to your website and buying stuff right?

Well, not exactly. The “build it and they will come” philosophy only works in movies about baseball. You have to do a few things to get customers. Of course you can submit to the search engines for traffic, but that takes time and is never guaranteed to send your website traffic. You aren’t even guaranteed to be indexed when you submit your website. Although this is a necessary step, it may not answer all your traffic needs.

You could trade links with other websites to get traffic. However, you need to trade links with a website that is already getting a lot of traffic for enough people to go there, then a few of them click your link and go to your website. Most websites that have a lot of traffic don’t want to trade links with someone with a website that has no traffic.

You could buy advertising on other websites. Again, you need to buy advertising on a website that is related to your topic and one that has a lot of traffic. Most webmasters are very proud of their traffic and charge a lot of money for you to advertise there. So unless you have a pretty hefty budget, you may not be ready for buying advertising just yet.

So, how do I get traffic for my website? I’m glad you asked. Again, you do need to submit your website to the search engines. That will probably get some traffic to your website in the long run.

But in the meantime you may need to purchase bulk traffic from a good source. There are several companies out there who offer to sell you traffic, but you need to be smart about it and not buy just any traffic. If the traffic you buy for your website is not geared or targeted toward your topic or product, then all you will do is spend money and get no one to buy your product or service.

Some websites sell popup, popunder, or exit traffic. What that means is they have websites out there that whenever someone goes to the website, a popup or popunder is sent to them advertising your website or it can be an window with your website actually inside of it.

If you purchase this sort of traffic you will definitely see hits to your website. The question is which popunder or popup traffic to buy. You need to make sure the company you are buying from is reputable. The wrong traffic to your website can penalize you with the search engines and hurt you in the long run.

In addition to that as I said above, the wrong traffic will not convert to sales anyway so it is a waste of your money. You need to find a company that is selling you targeted traffic. You need to be sure they have the type of traffic you want for your website. If one company does not have traffic that is specifically targeted toward your topic, product, or service, find another one.

However, keep in mind that you need to know who you are targeting. You need to understand who your buyers are. Many times your buyers may not come from a website that is related to your topic. If you are offering a general service or product, you may only need to make sure the traffic is coming from the countries you want it to come from. If your website is all in english, you might not want 100,000 visits from people in China.

Do your homework to make sure the company selling the traffic is legitimate, that the traffic is from the right countries, and that the traffic is traffic you can convert and popunder or popup traffic can get you started making sales in as little as one day or one hour!

D. David Dugan personally helps to maintain the DD&C Spyware Information site http://spyware.dugancom.com and often uses traffic from http://www.acceleratedtraffic.com.

The Emmaus Journal ~ Strangers In A Strange Land

The Emmaus Journal

Strangers In A Strange Land

Do you often feel like an Alien? In fact, have you recently inquired if you were
really still on Planet Earth? Do the things of this World just seem more and more
foreign to you?

Well, Dear Friend, you are in good company! Our Apostolic Brother Paul felt the
same way and said the same things. Perhaps in a different language, but it is still
relative for today. In fact, Paul went one step further. He said you were suppose to
feel and speak the same way. In fact, if you didn’t, Paul again took it one step
further! Paul questioned your so called “born again” experience.

It is quite apparent within our global society today that ANYTHING GOES. We are
living in the day and age of pure lasciviousness. Modesty, integrity, morals,
discipline, and accountability are rejected values. Our so called human rights and
personal ethics have degenerated on an over all scale leaving common sense to fly
the coop. Both, rarely to be seen anymore like an extinct species. All the while our
acute intelligence in academia is at its highest peak within our quantum race toward
prideful superiority. Leaving dysfunctional disorders to coagulate into heart attacks
and obesity. If it takes a “village to raise a child” nowadays, that village has
seemingly been swept away by a deluge of universal disrespect and idolatrous
arrogance.

The pitiful end to this scenario is – most Christians blend so well into all of that!
The major congregations of Christianity has unfortunately become just another
organization, and a vast one at that. Especially in the promoted church world of
today, which has become homogenized to the point of dilution, polluted to the
point of stagnation, assimilated to the point of derision. All multiplying into a not so
innocent ignorance full of mindless delusion.

Thankfully, even thru all of this, Yahshua (Jah’s Salvation) has kept the few who will
not bow to this worldly profusion of erosion. These few thru the ages have been
called, and right up into our 21st century, the ‘Remnant’. Only to find the ‘Remnant’
is almost impossible. To locate one who might be separated out of this conformed
multi commercialized staging of todays Christian hierarchy is a challenge. To find
one who might be separated from the party spirit within the highly organized and
socialized Christian order is another challenge altogether. The Remnant surely
remains just that, a small trace that is still remaining from the original. Only
Yahshua is the true discerner of His own Remnant that have been willingly and
purposely separated. Separated from and then separated to.

Our Brother Paul continued to exhort and rebuke the early Believer’s as he
missioned from city to city, telling them not to be conformed to the world; but to be
constantly transformed by the renewing of their minds. (Romans 12:2) Renewing of
the minds to what? Yes, the Gospel of Yahshua (Jesus), but more intently and
purposely, that they would discontinue to think and act like the rest of the world
they had been brought out of thru Yahshua’s salvation. Meaning quit plainly, stop
the pagan and idolatrous ways once walked in out of ignorance. Come out and be
separated with the power of The Holy Spirit and do not reflect or give homage to the
pagan practices of the world. Whether in Church (Synagogues) or out of Church.
Whether in the Spirit or out of the Spirit. Whether being in bonds or not. Whether in
sufferings or not. They were instructed to show the fruits of repentance and to live a
life now that portrayed the spiritual transformation that Yahshua had provided. To
daily live from a heart that is cleansed of worldly pollution’s. Whether from within
the religious order or the secular order. Yahshua himself admonished people to
observe and do as the scribes and Pharisees taught regarding the Torah, but not to
do what they performed in their daily lives. For their hearts were still within the
pollutions of religious order and worldliness. (Matthew 23) i>

This same scenario has, and perhaps has never, ceased down thru the church ages.
Paganism still abounds in cloaked illusions full of deceit. We are experiencing many
of its unbridled root symptoms that are emerging at an alarming speed for all eyes
to see now and all ears to hear. Strangers in a strange land? Indeed! And so we must
be. Or else we will be swept along in the tidal wave of lip service with our own
pagan traditions and erroneous religious teachings. A stranger in a strange land;
according to the dictates of our Faith we must be. A stranger in a strange land;
according to the resolution of our service and work we must be. So if you seem to
feel like a foreigner in a strange land, realize it. You are! Rejoice in it, for it is the
results of your salvation. Embrace it, remembering you are on a journey toward your
real home. Be glad you remained as a stranger in a strange land to obtain you
rightful destination prepared for you with Yahshua.

Bryan Ellis’ thoughts on The Virtualization Of The Real Estate Industry

Virtual Real Estate Investing” is a relatively new concept. Everything from using the internet as an avenue to make more money in real estate to online games such as SecondLife seem to be included in the popular definition of this term.

In order to figure out the truth of the matter, I sought out Bryan Ellis of BryanEllis.com, whose experience in the fledgling industry is truly impressive.

When I began using the term virtual real estate investing in the late 1990s, I did so because I saw clear parallels between the strategies used for profiting from physical real estate and those that would create income in the online world, said Ellis.

Bryan Ellis cites the similar strategies one can employe to make money from “virtual property” and “physical property” as a primary parallel of the two markets. “There’s a huge difference between a website and a piece of real estate, but the ways you can profit from them are similar: ‘flipping’, rental/leasing, advertising sales, etc…all of these apply to both markets” he states.

I must admit: Its easy to see the parallels. Consider this: If you own a piece of real estate in a desirable neighborhood, your real estate has value because other people are interested in that location. Likewise, if you own a desirable domain name, others will find value in it because it serves their purposes. So it doesn’t matter if you own physical real estate or virtual real estate – you’ll likely use similar strategies to turn them into money in your pocket.

In our next installment of this series on virtual real estate investing, Bryan Ellis will share the internet analogies to the physical concept of real estate development.

Islam in the Workplace – suggested practice for HR personnel

Muslims now form one of the largest religious groups in the UK. At a time when great misunderstandings and stereotypes circulate the media and society regarding the religion, it is crucial for an effort to be made at all levels to go beyond archetypal images and to begin to understand Islam and Muslims.

With a population of approximately 1.5 million Muslims and growing, UK based companies are employing more and more young Muslim men and women. With this increase comes a greater need for HR practitioners to be aware of the respective cultural sensitivities.

As with individuals from any background, if they do not feel comfortable and understood in their office or company, it is likely that they will eventually seek employment elsewhere. In order to maximise retention of young Muslims, it is ever more important therefore, that their sensitivities are kept in mind.

The following information contains basic tips and guidelines for HR staff and others to bear in mind. Please note that these are very generic guidelines. Muslims differ from generation to generation, culture to culture, some are more devout than others and interpretations and practices of the faith are numerous. It may also be the case that the individual is Muslim by name only and chooses not to practice their religion.

Prayer

A Muslim, both male and female, is expected to pray five times a day. This prayer involves facing Makkah (in Saudi Arabia), usually on a prayer mat or clean surface and reciting prayers which follow a procedure of bowing and prostrating. This typically takes between 5 – 15 minutes depending on the individual. Prayer times are calculated according to the movement of the sun and take place at dawn, midday, late afternoon, dusk and at night.

For Muslims in your company it is a good idea to allocate a neutral space for them to use for their prayers. This can be a dedicated prayer room or simply access to a seldom used office or medical room. Such a space will make your Muslim staff feel at comfort knowing they have somewhere private and clean to say their prayers.

If staff are required to be committed to a desk space at certain times it may be a good idea to agree on allocated times in which they can read their prayers. This may involve the use of break times.

Friday Prayers

Most Muslim men attend the mosque on Friday afternoons for obligatory congregational prayers. Let your staff know you understand their requirements and agree on an extended lunch break and/or allocate their Friday lunch breaks to convenient times. Most mosques conduct prayers at 1.30 p.m. so try to aim for an hour between 1 – 2p.m.

Fasting

Fasting takes places during the month of Ramadan. Ramadan does not correspond neatly to any Gregorian months due to its method of calculation. It changes from year to year by about ten days. The more devout Muslims may also fast on Mondays and Thursdays throughout the year.

Fasting involves abstinence from food, drink, chewing and smoking from dawn till dusk. At dusk, Muslims traditionally break their fast with dates and water before proceeding to eat a meal.

In the workplace it is best to be aware of staff who are fasting as this avoids potential offence if the staff member declines an invite to lunch or to some other function involving food.

Dress

Most Muslim men will be wearing a shirt and tie like their colleagues and very few would challenge a dress code. This is simply because dress is not an area where strict guidelines exist in Islam.

One area Muslim men may clash with company policy is in their wearing of beards. If you have strict guidelines regarding facial hair or follow certain health and hygiene procedures, then it is wise to ensure that potential male Muslim employees are made aware of these procedures. You should also be willing to either compromise on religious grounds or ensure that beard covers are made available.

Muslim women are required to cover their hair (hijab) and to dress modestly. Many do neither but it is best to be aware of the needs of those who do. If your company has a uniform or a certain dress code be sure it permits the wearing of hijabs. Many companies have now taken the step to provide hijabs which match the company uniform.

Holidays

Generally Muslims in the UK take holidays as and when they need to. There are however a few dates of significance that should be noted.

Eid al-Fitr – this holiday celebrates the end of the month of Ramadan and fasting. It is traditionally a time when extended families congregate and presents given to children.
Although this holiday extends over a three day period, many Muslims typically take a single day holiday.

Eid al-Adha – celebrates the end of the Hajj (pilgrimage) and commemorates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son. In Muslim countries sheep, goats and camels and usually sacrificed and the meat distributed the family, neighbourhood and the poor. In the UK such meat is ordered through a butcher due to our laws.
As with Eid al-Fitr, Muslims typically take a single day holiday during this period.

Socialising

One of the major discomforts for Muslims in the British workplace may involve the socialising culture of the office. Typical business culture involves after work socializing in pubs or restaurants. As Muslims do not drink any alcohol and places such as pubs, bars and discos are not considered suitable venues for relaxation, then Muslim staff may politely decline such offers.

This should not be interpreted as bad manners of unfriendliness, but rather a difference in cultures that should be respected. When planning team building trips or exercises or team outings always bear in mind a Muslim member of staff may feel uncomfortable if the venue is a pub, bar or even a restaurant serving alcohol. It is always best to check with that staff member first.

Try to think of alternative venues where all staff will be comfortable.

Food

There are certain restrictions as to what a Muslim can/can’t eat.

Meat must always be halal. Such meat has been slaughtered according to Islamic practice. If halal meat cannot be sourced then Muslims are allowed to eat Kosher meat too. Pork is not eaten at all by Muslims.

Always check ingredients of foods you plan to share out or use in staff lunches. Foods not suitable for vegetarians may contain non-halal meat or meat derivatives (e.g. gelatine) and cannot be eaten. Similarly, foods with alcohol content should also be avoided.

An easy way to overcome any catering difficulties is to provide a vegetarian option.

Touch/Personal Space

There is an opinion among some Muslims that touching between men and women should be avoided. Although not common in the UK, as compared with the Gulf, you may occasionally come across Muslim men and women who do not like to shake hands with members of the opposite sex. If you are unsure then it is advisable to wait and see if they extend their hands first.

Muslim men and women may also find close personal contact between sexes very uncomfortable. Unless you know otherwise be sure to leave a good deal of personal space.

As mentioned in the introduction, these are broad guidelines only and the degree of support from a business / HR perspective will be entirely dependant on the individual involved. Care should be taken therefore not to assume the needs of a member of staff, but to simply be aware of possible issues and resulting interventions if these become necessary.

If you feel you or your staff could benefit from a more detailed briefing on the above information, then please see http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/cross-cultural/islam-breaking-stereotypes.html

Thinking of using hit exchanges to boost your Adsense earnings? Think again!

So, you’ve added Adsense to your site and you are getting a few clicks. You could be thinking to yourself, How do I get a massive amount of visitors to bump up my earnings? If you’re anything like me, you hear those stories about webmasters that have added Adsense and are already earning five figure incomes per month, and you start to see the dollar signs.

So you start brainstorming. You come up with a few ideas: email marketing, ebooks, trial software, etc. The thirst for Adsense dollars (and maybe a few affiliate dollars) is your main drive. Pushing massive amounts of traffic through your site can give you quite a thrill ride.

Then along comes the well known email that markets the traffic exchanges. If you aren’t familiar with traffic exchanges, it’s really very simple. You see, you sign up for their service (which often times is free) and your website is put in a list. The way the free traffic works is that you surf the web using their browser, browsing sites that are in their directory (or list) and every 30 seconds you can refresh to a new site. As you continue to do this, it builds up credits for your account that you use for other people who are using their browser to see your site.

It’s a cyclical service. You see their site, they see yours. And since you can have as many browsers going (among the many traffic exchanges) as your computer can handle, you can theoretically build up a large quantity of hits on your site in a relatively small period of time.

It seems like a great thing, and for many it fills a very necessary niche, so I can’t say that the traffic exchanges are a bad service. I would use them in anything else that I am doing. I would, however, make a very big distinction.

First, I know and respect the tech’s at Google and I know that when they make a new program for their visitors and webmasters to use, they make it for the benefit of everyone. That is the case with their Adwords and Adsense programs, both targeted to helping webmasters make money through advertising (albeit the opoosite ends of the scale).

So when I put an ad on my website, I know that I am offering a service to the advertiser (through Google) to reach their target market. And ethically, I should only be paid when I provide that service (someone clicks through that ad to their site). There are extreme ethical problems if you were to use traffic exchanges with the Adsense program to try and cheat the advertiser out of his hard earned dollars.

Plus, if you haven’t figured out by now, Google knows what you are doing. They have specific ways of knowing what is a legitimate impression, versus what is a hit generated by a traffic exchange. Your numbers quickly dwindle if you use a hit exchange and you run the risk of being kicked off the program.

Plus, often times you have to go through two websites wasting a full minute of your time before you get one hit directed to your website. Building up over time, it eventually it all adds up.

Take, for instance, the “surf contests”. This is where they tell you who has racked up the most surfing in the week. These numbers are huge… up to 10,000 page loads. When you add it up, that’s over 84 hours of one week that is taken up trying to earn an extra 1,000 hits on your site. Not very worth it to me.

The best way to use the Adsense program is with a website that you have that is established and has a constant stream of visitors going through it. That’s the goal of the program, make money off of an existing site and its content.

Time Zones in The Book of Revelation (Part III)

When God Inspired John to write the book of Revelation, he did it for a purpose, to warn people during a certain era, one that he saw equal to the time before the flood, a time when evil was ran loose, when the Angelic Renegades, those watching the world for God left abode on high, above the clouds and came down to cohabitate with human females: he gave it to John to warn man of what was going to take place, happen. This was of curse not the end of the story but the beginning of a long played out itinerary (see the book of Genesis, chapter 6 for the sons of God came from the heavens and cohabitated…). No one knows the time or place this will all take place, so the Bible indicates, but it also says, to be alert, wise, prudent, in its signs (thus, to keep abreast of the times, what is happening in your world, and it is happening right now, right before our eyes):

This book was originally written in 1984, revised in 2001, published in 2002, and review by two clergy, and used in the churches at present in Haiti as a study guide:

Zone One:

Spread of Communism (Almost past, three countries left who proclaim Communism):

War, Rumors of wars, commotions (happening now)

A Time of Terror (Terrorism, assassinations, est.)) This is part of the New World Order make up at present; unforeseen 20-years ago))

Hope for Survival is Actually gone (we just pretend we got lots of time left)

Antichrist is Presently Here [Perhaps born around 1969?]

Zone Two:

Satanic power, signs and lying wonders

A New Church in the making

A World Common Market (Already here)

Building of Great Cities

(I traveled just recently to Panama, and they are building more skyscrapers than in any city I’ve ever been to. And no matter where I travel, and I travel a lot; people are building, building like crazy. Perhaps they should stop building and start feeding their people; and stop trying to get nuclear warheads and build water supplies instead of complaining they have no food or water, but enough guns to go around)

Expansion of Egypt (presently underway)

Growing Importance of the Middle East

(I believe we are at the end of Zone II, ready to enter Zone III, but the world needs to feel a little more before it can jump into the next zone, and it will.)

Zone Three:

The Earth at Rest

The Rapture

Zone Four:

Satan Takes over the Earth (Tribulation)

The Mark of the Beast

Gospel Preached to all Nations (95% so far)

Famines and Pestilence becoming more pronounced by the day, although most Americans don’t feel it)

Falling Stars

Many Martyrs

Zone Five:

The Return of Christ

Note: When I first wrote this book in 2001, or revised it in 2001, for it was originally written in 1984-85, I had put mankind in the First Time Zone; I believed of course that is where we belonged; with other parts of time zones interwoven, but now we are surely in the deep part of the second time zone. There are about 21-events from the bible I’ve indicates during these last days, and in 2001, I had counted 15-occurring, we are past that mark, and there are only a few left, such as Building the New Jewish Temple, which is on hold at present, but ready to be build at the blink of an eye. There are signs I have not added into this articlemany, no need to, we will witness them unfolding soon, or they have come and gone.

Cyberspace Games of Luck Keep Gaming Devotees Secure

Seven Ways to Cope With Burnout

If you reach a point where you feel you can’t take it anymore, you’ve arrived–at a point of overwhelm that pop psychology refers to as “burnout.” It is a point of emotional exhaustion, mental confusion, and even physical fatigue.

The word itself originated from a description of a busted light bulb.

However, while you can’t do anything about a light bulb that won’t work anymore, there is plenty that you can do with psychological overwhelm. You might even say that unlike a light bulb, a human being is a self-renewing system.

Here are seven simple remedies to renew your mind, body, and soul.

One. Step out into nature. Go to the mountains, the forest, or the ocean. And if you’re really strapped for natural resources, go to a local park. I’m not sure how this works, but when you spend a sufficient amount of time in nature, you feel rejuvenated and your mind comes up with fresh ideas on how to cope with your pressing situation.

Two. Reframe. If you feel stressed because you are doing a task that you dislike, use your imagination to make it more enjoyable. For example, if you’re raking leaves, and you just hate gardening, then imagine that you’re raking in money, and that each leaf represents a hundred dollar bill. This will actually spark creative ideas in your mind on how you can improve your income.

Three. Energize. Go to a health-food store and get an energy supplement. Vitamins, minerals, and herbs can help your metabolism recuperate from the stress. Most health-food stores have someone to assist you, as well as reference books and videos on what to take for your particular condition.

Four. Introspect. In a notebook, write down everything that bothers you until you can come up with a way that you can change the situation. Start with a question. “What can I do about…?” Then keep writing until you come up with an answer. I once did this for two hours and came up with a new model on how I could radically improve every aspect of my life.

Five. Try music. Listen to beautiful, serene, uplifting music. Don’t do anything else as you listen to the music–or you’ll simply find a way to tune it out. Listen to every note, every word sung, and every interval of silence in the music. It’s amazing how this will transform you. Music has been said to tame a wild beast. It will do the same for the wild beast of your major upset.

Six. Relax deeply. Massages, hot baths, and stretching exercises can all be used to unknot your muscles. It’s impossible to be unhappy when your body is completely relaxed. The rise of stress hormones in your body, create a fight-or-flight response in your nervous system. Systematic physical relaxation reverses this condition.

Seven. Talk to an expert. Visit someone who can help you or read a book or hear an audio program by a stress reduction expert. As you open your mind to new information, you shift your stuck thinking and find new ways of dealing with the troubling situation.

Using any of these simple remedies or a combination for burnout will help you get your perspective back.

Foot Spa Detoxification, Based on the Work of Dr. Rife

Royal Raymond Rife was, perhaps, the greatest medical scientist of the twentieth century and yet, sadly, very few people have ever heard of him. He died of alcoholism in obscurity in 1971. Royal Rife was the inventor of the “Dark Field Microscope” and this he did in the 1920s. His “Universal Microscope”, magnified objects 60,000 times, and this made him the first man in history to view a living virus. Ironically most of today’s scientists using powerful electron microscopes are viewing dead bio-organisms, because the powerful electric field of their equipment kills the virus. Rife, a brilliant inventor was the “Father of Electronic Medicine”, which he used very successfully to treat cancer patients in his clinic in San Diego in the 1930s.He suggested cancer was a virus and was able to facilitate cures by killing the virus with an electronic frequency generator.

Aqua Detox treatment is based on equipment developed by Royal Raymond Rife in his hey-day back in the 1930s. It has however been updated to take into account more recent technology, by naturopath and homeopath Mary Staggs. Rife found, as we see with increasing frequency today, that toxins assault the body, and it seems the number of these are rising at an alarming rate. These poisons cannot be excreted effectively; as they build up they cause electrolyte imbalances within the cells. This accumulation prevents them from absorbing nutrients and effectively getting rid of waste. Iranian Doctor F. Batmanghelidj in his book: “Your Body’s Many Cries for Water” stresses the problem is further aggravated because most people drink far too little water. Thus dehydration and toxicity are the root cause of most of the congestive and degenerative diseases prevalent today.

“The Aqua Detox” foot-spa treatment requires the feet to be placed in a salt-water solution, as this is a good medium in which to produce an electric charge. The feet are selected as they contain over 2,000 pores. They are the end point of the lymph system and let’s not forget the entire blood supply passes through the feet given sufficient time. In more complex cases the “Aqua Detox” equipment, comprising two spiral shaped electrodes can similarly be introduced into a bath for full immersion. The electrodes produce a charge that resonates around the whole body, this balances the cells, and at the same time facilitates the release of toxins.

The treatment seems to re-balance the body’s energetic field and improves oxygen and other nutrients to the tissue. The client comes away with a spring in her step, usually reporting a feeling of overall well-being. GDV or “Gas Discharge Visualisation” photography shows a definite improvement in the client’s energy field when before and after shots are compared. There is however a warning. This type of treatment should not be used by people with pacemakers, if they are epileptic or pregnant. But reports are more than encouraging for everybody else.
