Perfect day for a little blogosphere controversy whipped up by TC. It makes for some great post-turkey debate. Running into irrelevant videos/Ads backfires! Viewers remember these and bad mouth the product, the movie, or the site in conversations. The videos are just the same apart from the product has no initial worth, just like taking a rock from the ground. It only has worth when people perceive it as so.10
This one is particularly low, but it?s one that many bloggers do. If you browse enough of the webmaster forums, you will find posts where users offer to comment on other people?s blogs. One simple way is to target other bloggers in a way that will get you noticed. This can involve instigating heated arguments in the comments of popular blogs; using your blog posts to critique well-read bloggers; or writing posts that single out other bloggers. It is possible to pay people to post comments on your blog and build up your community so that it looks like you are more popular than you are. Some people will even offer to comment on your blog for free if they?re bored.12

With MobillCash a customer can be anyone with a mobile phone in 15 different countries using over 100 mobile carriers world wide. Totaling over 500 Million subscribers today and growing to over 1 Billion by early 2008. A list is on our website.
When a customer clicks to pay via their Mobile Phone, they’ll simply select the country they are in and they’ll immediately see the total purchase price in their own currency.
The customer simply enters their mobile phone number and clicks continue.
A few seconds later they’ll receive a text message confirming the amount to pay, again in their own currency.
They only need to click reply and enter Y for Yes and send.
The Transaction will be verified instantly by MobillCash and the Mobile Carrier and the transaction is complete.
The consumer is billed by the Mobile Phone Carrier.
You the Merchant are now guaranteed a payment from the sale.
With MobillCash its not only simple it brings many benefits to the merchant.

You can now make the sale when a customer only has a Mobile Phone and no Cash, Credit Card, Bank Account or doesn’t want to show ID. And the best part is your payment is Guaranteed without any additional Cost to the merchant. I’ll speak about that in a moment.

With MobillCash merchants are paid via wire transfer in their currency of choice without currency exchange fees no matter where the customers are around the globe.
With MobillCash merchants have lower business risks than other payment options.
For instance, once a reply from a customer is confirmed by the mobile carrier the payment is guaranteed to the merchant, this simply isn’t available from credit card payments. The carriers don’t give refunds to customers, and it is left to the merchant the customer to handle any issues.
The majority of merchants set up MobillCash so they have no transaction costs or fees and collect 100% of the sales price.
Additionally, the merchant needs no special software, hardware or technology to set up an online merchant account.
In addition to increasing revenues and lowering business risks, the merchants also increase profitability in the sales process.

Google's giving free ads
My name is Roger Preston, and I am a journalist for various
publications in upstate New York, as well as the New England area.
I recently had a chance to interview the fine team of professionals
at WebBusinessSecrets.com whose flagship product is entitled "Get
Google Ads Free."
In April of 2007 "Get Google Ads Free" was launched, and the effect
was nothing less than equal to "the shot heard around the world!"
Within just weeks people everywhere were talking about it, and
other top-notch online marketers were scurrying to sell it as an
Affiliate for the company.
But here's a little insight that 99.9% of everyone the world over
doesn't know:
The Product's greatest endorser is none other than Google itself!
That's right. As shocking as it may seem, Google has NO problem
with the course that reveals how anyone can get ads on their search
engine for Free!
Now, at this point I know you must be curious as to how such a
thing is possible, as Google makes its money from the sale of both
AdWords (PPCs) and AdSense (where webmasters allow Google to show
their ads on their pages).
One might think that any information that revealed how an
advertiser could get their AdWords pay-per-clicks free would be
damaging to Google, and therefore Google would not want anyone
finding out about it, right?
WRONG! It seems that the secret system developed by the retired
native New York doctor contains an interesting "twist" that while
allowing advertisers to eliminate their AdWords costs, it does not
reduce a single dollar in AdWords revenue for Google.
In fact, just the opposite!
I cannot give away the secret here because that's why it's for sale
in the first place.
But I can tell you that with the application of what's inside "Get
Google Ads Free" that:
- Google loses NO money
- Google actually can make even more M0NEY!
- Advertisers gain an instant almost unfair advantage over anyone
not knowing what's inside "Get Google Ads Free!"
- Advertisers can now afford to outbid their competition!
- Advertisers are not at risk any longer as their advertising
budgets no longer matter!
Wow! And this is just the beginning!
Now, where's the definitive PROOF that Google endorses "Get Google
Ads Free?"
I asked this question to company spokesperson and Vice President of
Sales & Marketing, Mr Todd Coutrin, to which he responded:
----------------------------------------------------
"We started our launch like we always do with any product online,
using Google AdWords to offer our Product.
"We used keywords that contained the word 'free' so we anticipated
the usual HOLD these keywords usually cause any campaign using them
to experience.
"But when our campaign was paused by Google for a tad more time
than what we regularly anticipated, then we got concerned.
"I actually placed a call directly to Google at 1-866-2-GOOGLE and
spoke at length with a customer services rep who said she'd check
into what was happening.
"She returned my call 16 hours later and informed me that due to the
specific nature of the Product in question (i.e., "Get Google Ads
Free!") their team at Google secured the product, read it all the
way trough, and then realizing it would NOT hurt their revenue but
actually increase it, they immediately un-paused and resumed our
ads"
----------------------------------------------------
Amazing! They actually got what amounts to a Signed Certificate of
APPROVAL from Google itself!
Therefore, anyone who questions the truth or legality concerning
"Get Google Ads Free!" need not fret at all.
Yet, the usual "naysayers" seemed to ignore the obvious fact that
if Google had a problem with "Get Google Ads Free!" then we all
wouldn't be seeing all the PPC ads at Google each time we type in
the keywords and phrases:
- free ads
- free advertising
- "Get Google Ads Free"
- free ppc
- free adwords
And so forth!
Yet, there are many very stubborn, even foolish, among us.
To be fair, I must also inform you of those who seem to be out to
get the company for sharing their amazing secret with the world.
In what seems nothing more than a ploy to get attention, a UK
online firm operated by two wanna-be law students have a Blog that
talks the usual trash about the Product.
The Blog's owner, Rob Scott, talks a big game by claiming the
secret system to be nothing short of a scam! He even recklessly
throws around the potentially libelous phrase ".con (Ooops, I
meant .com)" as an attempt at childish humor in order to bash the
firm's name.
What's shocking is that this individual is actually a student of
law (at least that's what he claims) so one would think that he
should perhaps check out the facts before proceeding with such
careless remarks.
After all, he admits severally that he "never even ordered the
ebook" so how could he truly know one way or the other if it was a
valid system - not to mention it is assumed he's at least
reasonably intelligent since (according to him) he got into law
school, that he would be able to see for himself the firm's
Affiliates' ads all over Google, and therefore reason that Google
itself is perhaps the firm's chief supporter.
But stubbornness abounds, I suppose.
Ironically Rob says that the only reason he attacks the firm is
because "it's a no brainer that this must be a scam," and he got
"tired of seeing all those little AdSense ads on his page that
people kept clicking on" (which by the way only stood to make him
lots of M0NEY!) -- yet he accepts donations on his site as a poor,
struggling law student in need of paying for his education, and
rather than legitimately earn an income from AdSense with an
APPROVED Product.
Sadly, Rob actually censors most of his Blog so that others who wish
to post POSITIVES concerning "Get Google Ads Free!" can't even do
so. (But what would you expect from a wanna-be lawyer?)
He even posts what appears to be an actual response by the firm's
lawyer, but which is perhaps nothing more than his own posts
disguised and designed to make himself look better (as anyone can
see that the dialogue appears manufactured instead of genuine).
What some people will do to project themselves as "savior to the
rest of us" and "the people's advocate." How ridiculous indeed.
Anyway, don't be dissuaded in your decision to build your online
business by eliminating your Google AdWords costs, as the course
"Get Google Ads Free!" not only reveals precisely how you can do
this, but it goes 10 steps further by giving you all kinds of other
amazing strategies I can't even begin to allude to here.
Plus, the e-course comes with countless resources that go far beyond
the usual variety of instantly-clickable extra values!
Lastly never forget that even though quite elderly now, Dr Jon
Cohen has even set new records finishing ahead of himself by now
having:
- Grossed over $400 Million in revenues!!
- and SAVED over $100 Million in Google advertising costs!!
..all due to his own system!
Talk about putting your money where your mouth is!
So if you'd like to get in on all the action, then go grab this
amazing "BREAKTHROUGH" for yourself only at:

As one very famous Internet Marketer said it best:
"This is a weapon that should be in every Internet and Affiliate
Marketer's arsenal and library!"
Get it directly from the good doctor himself!

Remember 4 Things ALL Articles Must Have
4 Things ALL Articles Must Have - Don't Forget!
The importance of articles in today’s websites and internet based companies are immeasurable. They dictate a lot in the success and the drive of traffic into one’s site. It has become a key element in making a site work and earns a profit. A website operator and owner must have the good sense to include articles in his or her site that will work for them and earn them the many benefits articles can give to their site.
Articles have been known to be the driving force in driving traffic to a website. Articles are a factor in giving site high rankings in search result pages. The higher a site ranks the bigger slice of the traffic flow pie he gets. With a huge number in traffic flow, there are more profits and more potential for other income generating schemes as well.
But, it is not just about stuffing your site with articles; they have certain requirements as well. These requirements must be met to obtain the maximum benefits an article will provide for your site. A well written article will catch the eyes and interest of your customers and keep them coming back for more. They would also be able to recommend your site to others.
Here are some tips to help you and assist you in making your articles. Below you will read about four things all articles must have to make it successful and helpful in making your site a profit earning and traffic overflowing site.
• Keywords and Keyword Phrases.
An article must always be centered on the keywords and keyword phrases. As each website visitor goes to a site, there are those who are just merely browsing but actually looking for a specific something. When this happens, a searcher usually goes to a search engine and types in the keywords they are looking for (e.g. Toyota Camry, Meningitis, Tax Lawyer and Etcetera). It could be anything they want.
The Important thing is that you have an article that has the keywords that are related to your site. For example, if you maintain an auto parts site, you must be able t have articles about cars and their parts. There are many tools in the internet that provides service in helping a webmaster out in determining what keywords and keyword phrases are mostly sought out. You can use this tool to determine what keywords to use and write about.
• Keyword Density
Know that you have your keywords and keyword phrases, you must use them fully. An article must have good keyword density for a search engine to “feel” its presence. Articles should at least have ten to fifteen percent of keyword density in their content for search engines to rank a site high in their search results. Getting a high rank is what articles do best for a site.
Keyword density is the number of times a keyword or keyword phrase is used on an article. The number varies depending on the number of words used in an article. An effective article must have a keyword density that is not too high or too low. With a very high density, the essence of the article is lost and may turn off a reader as well as the search engines. It comes off as overeager. A low number may be ignored by the search engines.
• Good Article Content
Like what is stated above, you cannot just riddle an article with keywords. They must also be regarded as good reading materials. Articles must be able to entertain people as well as provide good information and help for their needs. Articles should be written well with correct spelling and good grammar. If you want people to trust you, make your work good and well thought out.
People respond well to figures, facts and statistics. Try to get great information and as many facts as you can. A good and well written article will boost your reputation as an expert in your chosen field or topic. As more people believe in you. They will be able to trust you and your products.
• Linking Articles
And another important thing to remember. If you are going to submit articles to ezines and/or contribute your articles to newsletters and other sites, DON’T ever forget to include a link to your site. A little resource box with a brief description of your site and you should always be placed right after your articles that you have submitted. If people like your articles, they will most likely click on the link directing them to your site.

6 Tips To Get Your Articles Read
6 Red Hot Tips To Get Your Articles Read
There are many people who dread having to write papers or articles. Many just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads them. To some people, reading articles seems like work to, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Well, articles are supposed to be read, that’s their purpose to impart your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.
But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. It’s just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn’t have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.
Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, that’s why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you won’t have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it’s about. It’s just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.
To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.
1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!
2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your4 article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.
3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. It would also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.
4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person’s curiosity you’re already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.
Use titles like, “Tips on making her want you more”, or “How to make her swoon and blush” .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, “Make her yours in six easy Ways”. These types of titles reach out to a persons’ emotions and makes them interested.
5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just don’t over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.
6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teac her having a little chat with an eager student.
