I did a post yesterday on BlogSire called Why Advertisers Should Pay Bloggers! and it basically spells out how useful bloggers are for the promotion of products, sites and services. It is really a relatively untapped resource, and while many have found and are making full use of the incredible talent that is available there is still so much that is yet untouched.
As more and more bloggers find and enter the blogging labor force, the resource grows with talent as each one tries to outdo the others. Many unique and different promotional posts are born daily and who knows which of those will be the next million dollar advertising campaign.

Number Nine Is Alive! Welcome SBizzTech!
I didn't think I would ever do it, I mean I already have 8 blogs, but recently number nine was born and I've called it SBizzTech, which stands for Sire’s Business and Technology blog, and so you see another blog has blogging well come to life. In reality it was quite easy as all I did was connect the wires, flew my kite and joyfully watched as the lightning charges hit sending life into my newest money maker. I hope to have this accepted by PPP in 90 days, hopefully sooner. Then I will submit it to all the other sites that I have named in this blog.
Why another blog? Because I noticed that blogs concentrating on these topics have a higher pay rate and I was losing out on too many opportunities. My aim is to make a minimum of $500 per week through blogging. It is going to stretch my ability some but then there is nothing wrong with a bit of a challenge.
Ah yes, I can see Hawaii on the horizon as I type

Landscape Design The Way To Beautiful Gardens
Landscape Design is not a hit and miss affair. It has to be functional as well as something of beauty. There is also a lot that has to be considered, such as how big the plants grow over time, because you still want it to be beautiful in years to come. Other things to consider are what plants are right for your area as not all plants may suit.
Functionality means that the design artist will take into consideration foot traffic, how you want to gain access to the front door, whether you prefer straight or curved paths, in fact so many things need to be considered its no wonder that many people get the help of a professional. Someone who will sit down and ask all the right questions so that with the input of the owner the best design possible will turn into the garden of your dreams.

Get The Crap Out With A Dual Action Cleanse
Let's face it, most of us do not take care of our bodies. Many of us actually look after our cars better than we do our bodies. We make sure we have it tuned, change the oil and make sure it's running really well. Isn't our body more important than our car? Why do we treat it like crap? We don't put crap into our engine so why do we do it to ourselves.
I think it is time for a change, so that we all live longer and more productive lives. It's OK to change our diet and lifestyle but we have to do something about all the crap we've been shoving in there so far. Pardon my pun, but we have to get the crap out, and the best way is to use Dual Action Cleanse, which is an all-natural herbal formula that has changed hundreds of thousands of people's lives through gentle and effective whole-body safe and effective internal cleansing. It's a two part system that maximize the elimination without uncomfortable cramping and causing loose stools. So support your bodies organs by a healthy detoxifying formulae and get the crap out with a good Dual Action Cleanse
I've joined SlashMySearch a couple of weeks ago and I've made a whole $1.10. Not much I know but then you have to consider the work effort that I put into it, not much I can tell you. So let me see I put in 0% effort so in reality I did pretty damn good. All I basically did is make SlashMySearch my home page and use it every time I do a search on the Internet. If you do a lot more searches you earn a lot more. Like a lot of things in life a positive effort gives you a positive return.
SlashMySearch also has a unique feature for eBay users, called the eBay Typo feature. Basically, you enter the correct spelling for the item you are searching and then select eBay Typo from the search type selection menu and SlashMySearch will automatically generate common misspellings, omissions and other mistakes that a listing might appear under and seamlessly take you to eBay. Correctly spelled listings will be filtered out. Remember that any feature on SlashMySearch.com counts towards your activity, including this one.
Why do this type of search? Basically because there are thousands of auctions on eBay that are misspelled either by mistake and you are basically missing out on these almost hidden listings. That means everyone else is also missing out, so technically the misspelled items are not getting many bids which means you have every chance of getting this item for less than what you normally would. Imagine the money you could save.

Las Vegas, A Change Of Life Style
Tired of the old boring life and are looking for a change. Have you ever thought that it just may be you need a change of environment? Maybe you should consider Las Vegas real estate, I mean from what I hear there is always something going in Las Vegas. It must have some sort of attraction, as there are heaps of people moving over there. The Las Vegas Valley area is on of the fastest growing area in the country.
You never have to worry about running out of anything as grocery stores stay open 24 hours a day, Can’t sleep, maybe this is the place for you because its open 24/7. The nightlife is world famous yet it has the all the pluses of a small town. Yeah, that is something I would think about, a change of scenery and life style.
Orlando Land Of Fun And Entertainment
I can see it now, Orlando Florida is going to be my next holiday destination. I have heard that Orlando has so much happening that the whole family will be able to relax, have fun and enjoy themselves. I checked out the net and it certainly seems to be true. I mean this place has 52 theme parks including Disney and that’s certainly enough for more than one holiday so you can rest assured that the kids will be happy.
Naturally the parks have a lot to offer adults as well, but sometimes the missus needs that little bit extra. Well the shopping and dining available will more than keep her happy, and for the man who loves golf, there are some excellent golf courses around. For the single man, shit you are in Florida and you there will be no problem exercising the old eyeballs.
The best thing about Orlando is the Orlando vacation rentals. They have some outstanding resorts and vacation homes to stay in for less than most other popular destination place and its always great to come back as you know Orlando is always changing and there is so much you haven’t seen.

SBizzTech Hits The Internet!
Well I may be cutting things a little fine but Blog no. 9 has just gone live. I have called it SBizzTech which stands for Sire's Business and Technology, and I hope that it will turn out to be as popular as the other ones. It was really easy as well, I just connected the wires, flew my kite and joyfully watched as the lightning charges hit sending life into my newest money maker. I hope to have this accepted by PPP in 90 days, hopefully sooner. Then I will submit it to all the other sites that I have named in this blog.

My aim is to make a minimum of $500 per week through blogging. It is going to stretch my ability some but then there is nothing wrong with a bit of a challenge.
I reckon I can handle the extra workload, I just have to manage my time a little better.

Online Gambling For The Responsible Gambler
There are those out there who say that gambling is a vice and I agree that there are some people out there who should not gamble, but to say that responsible gambles should not be able to partake in what may be their favourite pastime is a bit much. I have been know to go to the local casino on occasion for a bit of a flutter but the noise and smoke sort of pisses me off. I haven’t really tried Online Gambling, but I reckon it would be a lot more comfortable to do it at home. I would have to stick to my normal rules of game play, which is that I allow myself a set amount of money for each session. If by some unlucky chance I lose that amount then that is the end of the session. If more people would live by this rule there would be a lot less heart ache in this world.
My favourite game is black jack, as I find it a simple and skilful game. The other one I tend to play is the roulette wheel. I don’t always have much luck on this one, but shit it sure is fun to play. I also love poker machines and there is also the River Belle Casino, which would be great if you could get a feeling of the old days of gambling on a luxurious river boat. You need to download software to play but that really isn’t a big deal as the download is quite small and would most surely make game play a lot quicker and more enjoyable.
The Gaming Club looks like a good site and though it is best to download the software those who do not wish to can try ‘quick play’ though it does not work with Firefox browsers. Then there is also the Lucky Nugget Online Casino, which has more to offer and once again requires the download of software. It really isn’t a big deal as the download is quite small and would most surely make game play a lot quicker and more enjoyable.

Endowment Mortgage Can Lead To Shortfalls
Endowment policies was something that was issued in England in the 70’s and 80’s and though the intention was that they would in the time specified pay off the entire mortgage completely, this did not always occur. Ah, I hear someone asking what are endowment policies. Wikipedia defines it as;
The problem was when shortfalls did occur many owners of the policy were not able to meet said shortfalls forcing them to surrender them to the issuing insurance companies for ridiculously low prices. The UK government stepped in giving people the right to use the services of sell endowment policy firms enabling them to get a much higher price.
An endowment mortgage is a mortgage loan arranged on an interest-only basis where the capital is intended to be repaid by one or more endowment policies. The phrase endowment mortgage is used mainly in the United Kingdom by lenders and consumers to refer to this arrangement and is not a legal term.
The borrower has two separate agreements. One with the lender for the mortgage and one with the insurer for the endowment policy. The arrangements are distinct and the borrower can change either arrangement if they wish. In the past the endowment policy was often taken as additional security by lender. That is, the lender applied a legal device to ensure the proceeds of the endowment were made payable to them rather than the borrower; typically the policy is assigned to the lender.

Which Cooking Tips Do You Prefer
Great cooking tips for budding chefs. You decide which path to take. This from an email I received.
Margaret Fulton's way:* Stuff miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice-cream drips.
*The Working Mum's way:* Just suck the ice-cream out of the bottom of the cone for Pete's sake.
*Margaret Fulton's:* To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
*Working Mum's:* Buy a packet of DEB and keep it in the cupboard for up to a year.
*Margaret Fulton's:* When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.
*Working Mum's:* Woolworths sell cakes. They even do decorated versions.
*Margaret Fulton's:* If you accidentally over salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a potato slice.
*Working Mum's:* If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, tough! Recite the working Mum's motto: "I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!"
*Margaret Fulton's:* Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting it in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
*Working Mum's:* It could keep forever. Who eats it??
*Margaret Fulton's:* Cure for headaches. Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
*Working Mum's:* Cure for headaches. Take a lime, cut it in half and drop it in a double vodka. Drink the vodka. You might still have the headache, but you won't care!
AND FINALLY, THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP..
*Margaret Fulton's:* Freeze leftover wine into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
*Working Mum's:* Left over wine??? HELLO!!!????
Oh well, I hope you found that useful.

7 Days To Massive Website Traffic - Day 1
"Optimize The Wrong Keywords And You'll Likely
Never See Results ..."
Note: Before you begin, if you're NOT 100% serious about getting your website to the top of Google, don't read another word. Only read on if you plan to put into action, everything I will be teaching you. It's best to print this blueprint off, highlight areas and take notes as you learn the exact steps needed for a top Google ranking. Ok, on to chapter 1...
If you're anything like me, you've probably created a brand new website, Submitted it to a few search engines and hoped that people would mysteriously show up at your site and buy whatever it is you were selling.
After a couple of weeks go by and only a few stray people show up at your website, you decide to try and "optimize" your website around your main keyword in hopes that you just might rank well in 1 of the millions of search engines. Another couple of weeks go by and still no luck.
At this point you probably give up and decide to either build another website around a different target market or just lose all hope and quit. Well, news flash, as you've probably figured out by now, this is not the way to go about doing things. Let me give you a specific example of what your very first steps MUST be when creating any website.
In our example, let's create a weight loss related website. Our weight loss related website will primarily sell a weight loss eBook. Before we start creating and collecting content for the website we need to do a little keyword research. This is VERY important and should not be skipped. To do our keyword research we need to visit a few websites.
The first of which should be http://www.goodkeywords.com. They have a very good keyword tool and best of all, it's free! Once we've downloaded this software, we can enter the most generic keyword for our website into the software. In our example, our keyword would be "weight loss".
You'll notice that in the screenshot below, Good Keywords will return a list of related terms. The "count" column will then show us how many times the specific keyword has been searched for the previous month within the Overture.com search engine. Generally, you can take that number times 8, in order to estimate the number of times that keyword has been searched within Google for the previous month.
You'll notice that weight loss was searched 1,356,100 times during the previous month. Do NOT start off by optimizing for the keyword "weight loss"
Why? you ask... If a keyword is searched that many times in Overture, then 100 times out of 100, the competition you will have to outrank will be extremely fierce. This is not something you should try to take on right away.
Let's take a quick peek at Google so I can show you exactly how many websites are competeting for this keyword. If we go to Google and enter "weight loss", you'll see there are almost 20 million websites competing for this keyword phrase! I don't know about you, but that's an aweful lofty goal to start with. By the end of this course, you will be able to

Get Your Discount Universal Studios Tickets
Come on baby show me some discounted tickets so that I can really enjoy myself on my next holiday. I've been itching to go to Orlando because I have always heard that they have so much to offer. Though they used to be a whole lot of gunslingers in the old days this is all a thing of the past and now it's a place where you can raise a family or simply go there for a great holiday experience. What I need though is some Discount Universal Studios Tickets so I can really have a wow of a time and save some cash at the same time. Luckily orlandofuntickets.com has come up with the goods.
These tickets also cover many dinner shows including Arabian Nights, which has been voted Orlando’s number one dinner show. Perhaps you would rather check out Medieval Times, which takes you back to the eleventh century full of special effects, and keep in mind that the ticket includes a four-course meal. These are only a sample of what Orlando has to offer, and I would suggest you go online to check out the whole kit and caboodle.
As for the kids, there are so many them parks that they will always have something to keep them busy. Whether it’s Disneyland or the Kennedy Space Center the discount tickets will certainly save you money.

Accountants With The Personal Touch
Do yourself a favour and get yourself a decent accountant. One who will take the time to actually talk to you and to learn about your business. Let the guys at Murphy & Company Inc examine last years tax return and see if they can recover hundreds or even thousands of dollars for you. They won’t even charge you for this service.
Being a small family business themselves they know what small business go through and are able to give them the attention they need. There are not many firms like Boston Accounting that are able to give you the time to handle your affairs properly. Bigger firms may do your accounting but they lack the personal touch and may miss some deductions that are owing to you.
Joseph Murphy started Murphy & Co twelve years ago so he has the experience necessary and knowing that he started it with the belief that small business owners deserve the same service as big ones is a comforting thought. Remember their motto, Small Focus. Big Returns
Giving SFI MArketing A Go
It's probably been nearly two years since I joined SFI Marketing and I can safely say I haven't made much from it. In total it's been a little under $9, but I want to be honest, it is my fault more than theirs.
Like most people who join affiliates I joined this one thinking all I had to do was post the link on my web pages and the money would start to roll in. Unfortunately in the real world if you want to do well at anything, you have to put in the time. I think being an Australian made it more difficult as nay products I ordered had to come from the US, and so it would be so much easier for US citizens.
What I really needed to attain some success was to achieve EA status and I never bothered. My greatest mistake. Without EA status I did not lock in my position in the SFI enabling me to earn income on those who sign under me. Also as an EA I save up to 56% on their products getting it at wholesale prices. I have used a small portion of my blogging money in order to give SFI a fair go. I will try it for 6 months and let you know of my progress.
For those interested in savings on products world wide you may want to have a look at their Nice Offers and for those who want to join this journey with me check the [url=http://www.moreinfo247.com/8901505/FREE]SFI Marketing[/url] link.
As an affiliate you can offer all of the following products.
IAHBE which is International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs champions of the home business lifestyle.
Verumi your very own store that has products from natural cleaners for the home to telecommunications.
Great Domania a domain registration service.
So it seems I have started an interesting path and we shall see how it turns out over the next six months.

New Link Exchange System For Bloggers
There is a new link exchange system I developed especially for bloggers. The way it works is you have one post where you post the links of other interesting blogs. They will reciprocate using the exact method on their blog. Every time you need to add a new link you just edit the original post. This will get picked up by Google and Technorati resulting in higher ranking blogs.
I recommend that we do not include more than 10 links per post. Once you have reached 10 links just start a new post.
My Link is to BlogSire which is a fantastic blog, and why wouldn't it be, it's one of mine.

Silver, A Damn Good Investment
Silver exists in many forms in the home and in our society. It goes far beyond its use in cutlery or silver tableware. Because it is such a good conductor of electricity, silver is also used in many electrical applications including switches and fuses. The main reason it is used in switches is due to its non corrosive properties as corrosion can lead to heating which can then lead to fire.
There are many other uses for silver, but one many forget is it offers a unique investment opportunity. Rather than putting money in the bank that is too easily accessible and consequently can be squandered away, may people have decided to purchase silver for investment purposes.
Fortunately Monex Deposit Company allows you to invest in gold silver and other precious metals. They can either have it delivered or arrange for safe and convenient storage. Buy it in the form of ingots or even coins, and keep in mind that unlike other things you may invest in, precious metals hold or increase in value.
