Fingerprinting vs. Police Department

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 07:06:41 GMT

NYC Notary Fingerprinting vs. Police Department?

I fingerprint dozens of people each month in New York City. However, sometimes I must decline. It's not that I would not do a high quality job; it's that in some very rare circumstances I am not qualified. The recipient of the fingerprint cards "sets the rules" and there are some that mandate fingerprinting must be done "by a law enforcement officer". I am a certified, insured, and highly experienced fingerprinting technician, but I am not a law enforcement officer. As a New York Mobile Notary Public, I ask that you carefully read the instructions you received from the agency requesting the fingerprint cards. They set the rules. Fortunately, this requirement is very rare.

Obtaining Police Department fingerprinting can be quite a frustrating experience. They rarely are willing to make appointments. When an appointment is secured, it is common for the fingerprint officer to be "on police business" and no one knows when they will be returning. Some larger police stations will have an entry line with metal detectors; require you to remove your shoes, etc. It is common that cameras and communications equipment must be "checked" at the door - and are returned upon departure. Some Police Departments only do "live scan" and will not give you a set of inked prints. Often there are no chairs, and a long wait....

That is not how Kenneth A. Edelstein operates. The main difference is that I go to you at a time of your convenience; bringing all necessary equipment. On my web site there are several helpful suggestions to facilitate successful fingerprinting. The key ones are having the room slightly cool, good lighting, and a counter height midway between your waist and shoulder (more or less - it's not that critical). However, fingerprinting at an ankle height cocktail table is impossible. Equally impossible is obtaining good prints in a hot and humid kitchen where food is being boiled amid billowing clouds of steam!

Unlike the "in a hurry" Police personnel, I take the time for proper finger preparation. I will ask you to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water. Next, I will apply a pre-fingerprinting finger preparation wipe of alcohol that removes any remaining moisture. I take the time to explain how you can assist me in obtaining the clearest prints possible. Lastly, my fingerprint cleaning wipes will remove all traces of ink and leave your hands spotless. I am one of the very few (I know of no other), but hesitate to say "the only one"; who fully guarantees acceptance of the cards. My guarantee gives you the choice of receiving a full immediate refund, or having me redo the job. Fingerprinting can be both convenient and a pleasant experience, call 917-864-3564 for more information.

NYC Mobile Notary | Apostille for Specific Country | New York Mobile Notary Public

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 06:20:37 GMT

Is an Apostille issued for a specific country?

An Apostille is issued by the US Department of State, assuming a properly prepared set of documents; for use in any country signatory to Article 12 of The Hague. This section relates to the international use of personal documents. Thus, an Apostille is not issued for use only in Italy; the same Apostille bearing document can also be used in France. As a New York Mobile Notary Public I am often asked to obtain multiple copies of the Apostille for use in many countries. If you are permitted to show and keep the Apostille bearing document - you need only one; it's good in all countries that accept an Apostille.

The same is true for the "Certification" - issued in lieu of an Apostille for nations that did not sign Article 12. A Certification that is good in China is also good in Canada. Sometimes the situation involves both signatory and non-signatory nations. Then it will be necessary to obtain an Apostille for the document and also obtain a Certification. You should determine in advance how many copies of each you will be required. Once in Europe, it will be impossible to obtain USA processing, as personal appearance before the notary is part of both the Apostille and Certification process.

Kenneth A. Edelstein has obtained hundreds of Apostille and Certification seals; frequently the same day. The process usually involves notarization of a signature. The only case where a signature is not required is the processing of official documents - birth, death, marriage and divorce documents are the most common. Although the Apostille or Certification is not specific to a country - often the need to have the document translated into a foreign language certainly is.

You should carefully consider how many copies of a document should receive "Apostille" processing. Just as a photocopy of a notarization is not also a notarization; a copy of an Apostille is generally useless. Only the original - in the case of those issued in New York State - with the raised gold seal are generally acceptable. The cost of processing many at once will generally be lower than many individual processing assignments given to an Apostille processing agent.

Apostille Processing | Pitfall of Shortcut Apostille Processing | New York Mobile Notary Public

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 09:28:29 GMT

The pitfall of shortcut Apostille Processing

There is a right way and a wrong way to process documents to obtain an Apostille. Most of the time there is only the right way. However, there is often a "shortcut" to speed up the process. The most common situation that offers a shortcut is the out of state birth certificate. The right way for Ken Edelstein to process and obtain an Apostille for an out of state birth certificate is to obtain the Apostille in the state where the birth certificate was issued. However, sometimes my client is "in a hurry" and wants me to obtain the apostille in New York State - quickly.

I always caution my client that it is technically possible to obtain the Apostille in New York, but the Apostille "might" not be accepted in the target country of use. There is a procedure, totally legal, for obtaining an Apostille for a Birth Certificate issued in Montana - in New York City. I have done so many times - "most" of the time the Apostille bearing document is accepted. But, not always. It is the responsibility of my client to determine if the Apostille obtained in New York for a Montana issued birth certificate will be acceptable - where the Apostille bearing document will be presented.

As a New York Mobile Notary Public, with many years of experience with the "system" - I know the "ins and outs" of getting things done quickly. I always caution against shortcuts, but the client calls the shots. I can almost always obtain an Apostille or Certification - legally (the only way I would ever operate), but just having it does not guarantee its acceptance. Generally the shortcut process involves a statement by the holder of the document and not a statement by the official who issued the document. There is a major difference between the two. However, the constraints of time and distance often make the shortcut "worth a try".

I am one of the few, if not the only mobile notary public who offers a total 100% guarantee that gives the client the choice of redo or refund. That guarantee is offered for almost everything I do. The exception is when I advise my client to not proceed with a shortcut method to obtain an Apostille or Certification. I feel it is my duty to advise them of the availability of the procedure while also advising that it not be utilized. The ultimate decision is made by my client and I process accordingly. However, a shortcut taken is taken without my personal guarantee - and each client is advised accordingly.

NYC Mobile Notary | Your Legal Name | New York Mobile Notary Public

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 08:12:27 GMT

Your Legal Name and the Notary

Your legal name is exactly what is on your birth certificate - unless changed by a legal procedure. Sounds simple, but you would be surprised just how much trouble folks can get themselves into when they stray from their legal name. "But that is how I prefer to be known", the client tells me when they sign "Billy Smith" rather than the "William Smith" that is on their drivers license. Sometimes the situation gets really ugly. "Billy" may be the name "on title" (due to a careless notary when the property was bought) - but a sharp notary (when it comes time to sell the property) - will not notarize "Billy"! There are procedures, using "Also Know As", but they raise eyebrows during processing.

Middle names can be a big problem. As a New York Mobile Notary Public I often have the problem of "under ID" when notarizing. The document has the middle name or initial and the driver's license lacks the middle name/initial. Technically, the client is in an "under ID" situation and has not proved the name on the document. The best and simplest policy is to use one format of your name in every case - consistently. Another name related problem is "stage names" - many of my clients are performers and often want to use their "stage name" on a legal document. "Sorry, but you are Arnold Green, not "The Amazing FlameEater" - I actually must remind them to use their real name.

Perhaps the strict notary laws affect my perspective. I am Kenneth A Edelstein and must sign exactly the name on my notary license. Furthermore, I must sign it exactly, (or nearly so), the way my signature is recorded on my Notary commission. Fortunately, as a notary, I am not required to have your actual signature match that 10 year old driver's license signature. Being certain of your ID is all that is required. However, it is probably a good policy to try to maintain your signature's format - to the extent possible.

There is one odd situation where an illegible "squiggle" is actually helpful! When the document calls for a middle initial/name and the "squiggle" is unreadable - then I ask "did you sign your full name - including middle name/initial?" A "yes" reply allows me to accept that "squiggle" as the full name. But, if the signature is clearly readable - and a portion "under the line" - is missing from the handwritten signature "over the line" - then I must ask you to resign with the complete name!

The Notarized Self Serving Affidavit

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 08:48:56 GMT

The Notarized Self Serving Affidavit

A self-serving affidavit basically says very little. It is a vehicle for making a small statement by an affiant. But, it can be a very useful tool both for the notary and the person making the statement. One of the simplest forms is "My signature is on this page." The document is then signed and notarized. Actually, this is quite common when opening a foreign bank account. In order for me to notarize your signature - I must ask if the document you signed is "true", thus you must say something - you can't just sign a blank page and ask me to notarize it.

A more complex use of the self-serving affidavit is the "affidavit of copy." This is used when you need to have a document notarized - but the person who signed it is not available. You make a copy of the document and basically state "under oath" that the copy is a true and complete copy of the original document. Then your statement as to the completeness of the copy can be notarized. That notarization can even be used to obtain an Apostille. Some limitations exist in New York. When Kenneth A Edelstein brings the document for Apostille processing - the document is checked to see that the person who made the copy is actually named as being the holder of the document.

Thus the "affidavit of copy" can be used to Apostille a copy of a phone bill you received. There is no other way, as the phone bill does not have a signature - a requirement for notarization. Why apostille a copy of a phone bill? It is often required as part of a package used to verify the residence address, typically when opening a foreign bank account. However, there are times when the original document - the actual phone bill you received must be used. In that case, a similar self serving affidavit - the "affidavit of receipt" - stating that you received the document is used.

As a New York Mobile Notary Public I process these and many variations of the self serving affidavit. They usually are simple statements of fact, and may or may not refer to related documents. Take care that the statements are absolutely truthful. A false statement on a notarized document is a serious matter and intentional falsehoods are a criminal offense - similar to perjury on the witness stand. Key point: a legal document need not be complex, but if you sign it - it must be truthful.

Can You Put your Notary in Jail?

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 06:44:06 GMT

Put your Notary in Jail

It's not all that hard. In these tough economic times, some notaries will do almost anything to earn a fee. The classic request to "backdate" a set of loan documents is the most common illegal thing a notary is asked to do. Technically it is forgery by the notary as they are stating that a signature was taken on a date in the past. Bye Bye notary when the illegal act is uncovered.

As a NewYorkMobileNotaryPublic.com I often am put in a tough situation. I get a call and go to an assignment and am asked - upon arrival - to backdate the document. I have scheduled time, traveled to the assignment, possibly printed documents, etc. Then the sorrowful tale about how the borrower forgot to call me earlier.......

Nope, not this notary, out I go - fortunately this is a rare event. But backdating is not the only improper request. Lack of identification - or ID that is weak is a more common occurrence. Most times a Driver's license or Passport is presented. But, sometimes, I am shown a membership card from Freddies Gym! Sorry, but the standard is government issued photo ID. A wise notary learns to ask about the ID prior to making the trip. Some cases really are tearjerkers - grandma has Altzheimers - and the daughter wants to help her sign the Power of Attorney by guiding her hand to sign the page. Under some conditions that might be acceptable, but if grandma can't tell me who the President of the United States currently is..... signing fails the test of understood and willfully signed.

IDs must match the preprinted document exactly. Junior can't sign the document (if his ID has the "Jr" suffix - if the document does not have the same suffix). Is he trying to impersonate the father? When Ken Edelstein notarizes a document I am on record as checking the ID. Any discrepancy - no notarization. Often I am asked to accept a document for notarization via FAX and to FAX it back! Personal appearance before the notary is always required as the notary wording states before me.

An honest notary cannot ignore a pressure situation where one party is forcing another to sign a document. My standard notary oath asks: Is this your signature, did you understand and willfully sign this document and that the facts are true and honest to the best of your knowledge and belief. Incapacity by an affiant is a violation of that oath. Unfortunately, not every notary maintains high standards, the same is true in practically every endeavor of commerce. If you obtain a flawed notarization - when the truth is discovered, both you and the notary are subject to penalties. If a proper notarization cannot be obtained in a legal manner - please consult an attorney. There is usually a legal solution to situations that proper notary procedures alone cannot resolve.

Your Fingerprint Cards Were Rejected - What To Do

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 06:03:21 GMT

Your Fingerprint Cards Were Rejected - What To Do

Fingerprint card rejection is very common. The FBI is very demanding about the image quality required for acceptance of fingerprint cards for inclusion in their database. The card must be completed fully - using black ink. The most common reason for rejection is the quality of the fingerprints themselves. Some folks have very distinct fingerprint ridges (friction ridges); others have very faint LOW fingerprint ridges.

The individual's background can be a cause for low fingerprint ridges. Some of the more common occupations can literally wear or eat away these ridges, Doctors and nurses who wash their hands constantly; sailors who work with ropes; overseas laundry workers who have exposure to phosphates in laundry detergents; and painters who use various solvents. Also at risk are rock climbers, persons taking certain prescription drugs, and those who play string instruments without a PICK

It is the skill and equipment of the technician that insures acceptable prints. Most commonly used is the fingerprint inkpad / cardholder. That custom device works most of the time and yields acceptable fingerprint images. However, for those with truly shallow fingerprint ridges, the older "ink and slab" equipment is preferable. In my KIT of supplies, I always carry both type of inking equipment. At NewYorkMobileNotaryPublic.com you can read much more on this subject. Basically the ink, roller and (glass) slab allow me to put a very thin layer of ink on the glass. This avoids over inking - the most common problem.

One more tip: Always inquire of the fingerprint service about their guarantee. Mine is to either refund or redo - your option - any prints rejected for poor quality. Any fingerprint service with a low reject rate should be willing to offer the same guarantee. I invite you to access my web site at NewYorkMobileNotaryPublic.com and read my published articles on fingerprinting. I also have a page devoted to fingerprinting with advice and suggestions; how to avoid having your prints rejected - doing it right the first time.

Legalization - a Visa for your Business Documents

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 08:28:23 GMT

Legalization - a Visa for your Business Documents

The importation of business documents into a foreign country often requires the payment of a fee. That fee is paid when legalization stamps are affixed to documents destined for use outside of the US. An analogy is the payment for a visa to be affixed to a passport. In the case of business documents, the stamps are obtained from the consulate or embassy of the target country. Procedures to obtain legalization vary greatly. Some countries require an Apostille prior to legalization; others only require notarization of the signatures.

The processing of legalizations can be lengthy. Rarely is it a walk in, pay the fee, walk out. Consulates and embassies often establish specific filing and pickup times. Some require payment in cash; some only accept US postal money orders. Often specific forms must be completed; sometimes available from the national web site; other times a visit is required to obtain the form. Technically, being "foreign soil," the location observes their national holidays; and may be closed when least expected.

Most legalizations require notarization of the signatures on the document. These notarizations must be perfect - any flaw will be grounds for rejection. It is common that a document for legalization be stapled; not bound by a "clip" - so the document's pages cannot be exchanged. Some countries require a copy of the document for their records. At the consulate or embassy, announcements are made in the native language of the country; but most clerks at the windows do speak English.

I have processed many legalizations, and have a detailed section about the processing on my web site: NewYorkMobileNotaryPublic.com. The typical timeframe is two to three days; however, many nations offer expedited service for an additional fee (per document). As the underlying notarization is critical, I prefer to also process the notarizations to insure acceptance at the consulate or embassy. My processing is personal, never trusting the critical documents to a messenger - from pickup to delivery.

How to get an Apostille - let me count the ways!

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:43:12 GMT

How to get an Apostille - let me count the ways!

"I want one simple methodology that will apply for all my Apostille needs." If it were possible I, Kenneth A Edelstein would be happy to oblige. However, the processing path varies greatly; based on the type of document that will receive the Apostille. The simplest case is when I notarize an affiant's signature. Examples are affidavits, Powers of Attorney, and copies of routine commercial documents. It is the signature, Not the document that receives the Apostille. When I notarize a signature on a document it is relatively straightforward to obtain an Apostille.

Officially issued documents follow a very different path. The person receiving the document does not sign what they receive. This is the case for Birth Certificates, copies of Marriage Licenses, Divorce Decrees, Death Certificates, and business records issued by licensing authority. In these cases the entity that issues the documents must provide the notary with a "notarial equivalent" - and that is often hard to obtain. One example is a police department criminal background report. The signature on the report, that of the issuing police officer, is the one that must be notarized; and requires the notary to visit the police station. Appointments with police officers are hard to make and they are frequently called away, without notice, on "police business".

Educational documents are the hardest. They require a letter from the school, on school stationary, by the registrar or custodian of documents. That letter must be notarized and NewYorkMobileNotaryPublic.com must meet, by appointment with the school official in order to notarize the letter. The student must make the appointment, as the school will not release such documents to the notary!

There is an apostille process "back door" that simplifies the process. The holder of the document can sign a statement as to the validity of the document and that (copy or original) the document is unmodified. However this method results in an apostille being issued to the statement by the holder - not - applied directly to the document itself. It is the responsibility of the affiant to verify if this method will be suitable for the intended use.

Apostille Processing for "Vital Records" - Birth, Marriage, Divorce, Death & Educational Transcripts.

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 08:48:00 GMT

Apostille Processing for "Vital Records" - Birth, Marriage, Divorce, Death & Educational Transcripts.

I am often called upon to obtain an Apostille for the above "Vital Records". While the rules vary from local to local (New York State specific information on my web site: http://NewYorkMobileNotaryPublic.com ) there are some general conditions worth noting.

An Apostille is issued to a notarization or notarial equivalent. It is not issued to the document itself. Thus the basis can be the notarization of a signature, or the seal issued by a governmental body. An example of New York procedures will illustrate.

A birth certificate issued by the City of New York contains a seal from the city that can form the basis of obtaining an Apostille. A copy of a birth certificate from a town in Arizona can also be Apostille processed in New York. As the issuer of the Arizona birth certificate (even if it is an original) is not known in New York, a statement by the holder of the certificate is notarized; it is that notarization that can receive the Apostille.

Thus, both the New York and the Arizona birth certificates can receive an Apostille issued by the State Department in New York. Both are valid Apostilles, but are they of any value?

The New York one certainly is. It contains the seal of the city and a proper Apostille. But, even though the Arizona birth certificate has an Apostille - the apostille is not related to the Arizona birth certificate - it is related to the statement made to me that the birth certificate from Arizona is either an original or a true copy.

The ultimate destination of use of the Apostille bearing document is the only place that can decide if the Apostille is suitable for purpose. In some situations either one would be acceptable - but, some would reject the Arizona. The "more proper" procedure for the Arizona would be to have the original processed in Arizona - verification of the issuing authority - and an Arizona issued Apostille affixed to the document.

Choosing a New York Mobile Notary Public

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 04:40:20 GMT

NewYorkMobileNotaryPublic.com

New York City! There is no place like it in the world, the city that never sleeps. Notary service is no exception. Service offerings range from "in the gutter" to the "skyline of New York" and all areas in-between. This article will help you to select a service, and covers key questions you should ask of a prospective service provider. Also covered is how to read, really read, a web site offering New York Mobile Notary Public services.

A notary is a notary is a notary. Not exactly; there are significant differences in the level of skill, preparedness (variety of forms, stamps and embossers), and fees charged. Some offer "walk in" service, others are mobile only. Everyone knows that New York City has very high rents. Operations with walk in service have major expenses not incurred by a mobile (goes to you) notary service such as http://newyorkmobilenotarypublic.com.

You should look very carefully at claims (boasts?) made on web sites. The more substantiation of claims - made by factual evidence, photos or "off site" links that prove the statement, the better. It's easy to "cut and paste" a logo - having the logo "clickable" to a link on "their" site - that proves the membership or other claim is what to look for. The most positive assurance of reputable practices is the name and home address of the owner of the firm. Be wary of unproven claims of headcount or greatness. It's time to "stop reading" when you hit the first instance you feel is "baloney". You can be sure if there is some fabrication, more will follow later in the text.

Perhaps the most distinguishing aspect of http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com (my other web site) is my very full disclosure about myself. Not to brag - but to let you know that I am very sincere about my consumer first policies. Few of my competitors have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau of New York, or are members of the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce. Links to my accreditations are on both sites. Many of the calls that I receive do not result in revenue for me - but they are given the most help I can provide - short of legal advice - which I am forbidden to provide.

What if you have no fingerprints and need fingerprint clearance?

What if you have no fingerprints and need fingerprint clearance?

As a fingerprint technician I, Ken Edelstein am frequently asked to fingerprint people, generally for immigration or licenses, who literally have no fingerprints whatsoever. The causes are legion. Some are taking medication that has the effect of removing their fingerprints. Others, thru their professional activities have worn away all traces of their natural fingerprints. Some of the occupations include: medical workers who wash their hands literally dozens of times a day, guitar players not using a pick and rubbing their ridges off with each tune, sailors working with ropes, and artists working with paints and paint thinners who clean up by just wiping their hands on their aprons.

Fingerprinting is more of an art than a science, whereby the analysis of the fingerprints is the reverse. Proper fingerprint techniques can enhance shallow ridges, or faint fingerprints. All the basics must be carefully observed including: a cool room, proper lighting, proper fingerprint station height, use of ink & roller with a very thin ink layer, and a careful briefing of the subject as to the proper procedures. Additionally proper hand washing and application of fingerprint ridge raiser chemicals can help - when there is something to work with......

But, sometimes there is just nothing - nada, not a trace of a friction ridge. The fingertips are sometimes as smooth as glass; more like a marble than a human fingertip. How then can these people be accepted by the FBI database by submitting classifiable fingerprint cards? The answer is they can't. But, that is not the end of the story. Just because someone does not have fingerprints that can be classified in the standard procedure does not inhibit them from their employment goals, licensing requirements or opportunity for immigration or adoption.

For the fingerprintless among us there is a procedure for clearance. It's a bit lengthy and tedious, but eventually succeeds. The procedure is to submit standard, best efforts, fingerprint cards three times; and probably receive each time a rejection due to poor print quality. On the fourth submission, NewYorkMobileNotaryPublic.com as the fingerprint technician, I also submit an Affidavit of Best Obtainable. This details the nature and history of the problem, the techniques I attempted to overcome it. It includes my statement that the fourth submission contains the best possible images, in my professional opinion; considering the situation.

How can I tell if the Notary is authentic and reliable?

Wed, 27 May 2009 08:15:38 GMT

How can I tell if the Notary is authentic and reliable?

It is rare for someone to impersonate a notary. Most reputable rubber stamp and embosser shops require the notary ID card for them to process an order. However, there are now walk-in facilities that will take any image and turn it into a rubber stamp - without a glance! Your first line of defense is to ask to see the notary ID card - issued by the Department of State. It has the name of the notary and the expiration date of their current commission. In New York State a notary commission is for four years. The notary ID card does not have a picture - ask to see photo ID - compare the name on the notary ID card to the photo ID.

There is a wide range in the quality of notary service. At one extreme is the totally incompetent notary who just stamps and initials your document. Ken Edelstein is at the other end of the spectrum. I take each assignment personally, doing the best job possible. Many times I spend a long time explaining procedures and giving advice - with the knowledge that the discussion will not lead to me earning a fee. There is an aspect of public service to my profession that I accept, not as "overhead"; but as "giving back" to the community as NewYorkMobileNotaryPublic.com.

Examine the web site of the notary carefully. When you read boastful "baloney" - move on. Sites that claim to be able to respond anywhere in 15 minutes, or that have been in every hotel in New York City - are - to put it gently - not being totally honest. My notary "kit" is second to none - it weighs over 20 pounds. Two sizes of embossers, two sizes of rubber stamps, a wide variety of notary forms, National Notary Association receipts, gold seals, etc.

Some notary services attempt to "trade up" the job. They will totally abandon one client if an assignment that pays more wants the same time slot on the same day. My word is my bond. I am almost never late - actually, I usually arrive early. My home address is on my site - very few notaries do that - I do not make enemies. Kenneth A Edelstein from NewYorkMobileNotaryPublic.com. has a policy of full refund or redo (at your option) if you are not satisfied with my work. My A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau of New York, and other references on my "about me" page - are aspects of my full disclosure policy. I welcome your call.

Do you need notarization, apostille or legalization?

Thu, 21 May 2009 05:21:47 GMT

Do you need notarization, apostille or legalization?

I am often asked if a document needs to be notarized; an apostille affixed or should be Embassy/Consulate legalized. Not being an attorney, I can not give legal advice. But, I can say the answer is: it depends on the requirements of the person or organization receiving the document. They have their requirements - it is those requirements that determine what processing the document must receive.

It is rare for documents originating in the US and to be used in the US to require an apostille or legalization. Those processes are generally for documents that originate in the US and are destined to be used in a different country. But, ever there; there are exceptions to the general rule. I have had cases where a locally used document required an apostille on the chance that it might be used in evidence in a foreign court!

In New York State even the notarization procedure has an option. After the notary affixes their seal and stamp; an additional step, authentication of the notary signature can be requested. Usually this additional step is part of the apostille or legalization procedure. However, I have often been requested to provide authenticated notarizations for documents to be used in court. It's a "best practice" for the notary to always emboss documents when they affix their rubber stamp "seal." The embossing is proof positive that the document is the original.

I have placed checklists and tips regarding the above, and much more on my web site: NewYorkMobileNotaryPublic.com and I invite you to brows the research that I have posted. I often use the "Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder" phrase to explain that, while I can provide a variety of service; I cannot specify what service is required. Case in point: marriage license. I have notarized, obtained notary authentication, obtained an apostille; and added legalization to the apostille - for a marriage license destined for use in China. For other clients, just notarizing a copy of the marriage license is what they need. Until next time, Kenneth A Edelstein

The Notary Service "Puffer" Fish

Mon, 11 May 2009 08:13:50 GMT

The Notary Service "Puffer" Fish

The puffer fish is a small fish. However, the puffer is a sly fish and manages to be rarely eaten by slightly larger fish. It inflates itself with water - to appear to be a bigger fish! In a similar manner, some notary services think you want to deal with a gigantic entity to have a document notarized. I don't understand the logic. Notarization, especially a mobile service that goes to your location - deploys a single agent. What is the benefit of a massive or fictitious organization - when you have an appointment to meet with one person, the notary?

http://newyorkmobilenotarypublic.com is me Kenneth A Edelstein. I always answer my phone and speak to you, no "front end" clerks - and I myself do your work. The only exception is when my wife Sandra answers the phone - because I am with a client and wish to devote my total attention to the task at hand and not take phone calls. However, Sandra and I have walkie talkies so she can reach me in an emergency. The puffer fish notary agent always answers the dispatcher's calls, and makes you wait. Be it from their Call Center, Central Dispatch, Main Operations Office or whatever name "Puffer Central" is currently using. It seems so silly to me. But, some are drawn to the "larger entity" believing they are more equipped to process the task at hand. Nobody has better equipment - more forms - a more complete mobile notary workstation than I do - nobody.

I keep costs down by not having a legal staff, foreign contacts, multiple office locations, or an overly diversified "product line". I specialize in notary related functions - and offer a unique (to the best of my knowledge) guarantee. 100% satisfaction or I redo or refund your money - at your option. As a small, non-"puffer" fish, I can devote my personal attention to every project. I have no aspirations of expanding my services outside of New York State - and mainly operate within my home city - New York City.

Compare my site to others. I really do live in Manhattan - that's my home address at the top of every page. I don't have a lot of sales hype - asking you to CALL CALL CALL on every page. Rather, I prefer to give useful information and obtain your business the old fashioned way - by earning it. I invite you to browse http://newyorkmobilenotarypublic.com - you will not find a bloated "puffer fish" description of my operations, abilities or services. If you only have time to look at a single page - look at the "About Me" page.

Notarizing Important People

Notarizing Important People

Living in the heart of New York City, Manhattan, http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com - I have had the pleasure of notarizing documents for many "VIPs" or Very Important People. I provide my signature "Key Client Services" to everyone - VIP or not. However, sometimes providing service to a VIP can be a bit of a challenge. Drawing on my degree in Psychology helps - not to manipulate - but to help my clients feel at ease. My background skills help me to understand what not to do, and how to make sure the process goes smoothly - resulting in a perfectly notarized document.

Sometimes the challenge is not being able to speak directly to the client. VIPs often have "front end" assistants. Sometimes the assistant, personal secretary or nurse informs me that: "I sign everything for my employer". Sorry, but not this time, I gently inform the helpful but not authorized employee. I must meet face to face with the person whose signature I will be notarizing - there is never an exception. No email, no FAX, no teleconferencing, (I actually have been asked to notarize that way several times), and certainly not by phone. The employee of the VIP can arrange the appointment, check the calendar, but not sign the document.

Just today I was in the office of a prestigious New York physician - the doctor was to sign off on the health of my clients for an adoption. I prepared the notary sections on various documents, but I did not sign them - I always sign last - after the ID is checked. I asked the doctor to see his driver's license. He was a bit amused, not angry or uncooperative - just amused. "We are in my office, my many degrees are on the wall, my patients (who arranged for my visit) are here - "why would you ask me for my driver's license" - he asked with a polite smile - obviously surprised at my request.

"Doctor, as a http://newyorkmobilenotarypublic.com it is my duty to verify ID in all cases. There cannot be an exception as my license is governed by specific rules. Just as you would never consider writing a prescription without examining your patient - I would never notarize a signature without verifying the ID. It is for your protection. Even though I am being paid by your patients, my ultimate responsibility is to protect you from impersonation and forgery. I do not know you personally. Perhaps the real doctor has the day off and you are an imposter, it is possible. By checking your ID - I protect your good name - that is why I am here."

Sorry, but I can't Notarize that

Sorry, but I can't Notarize that

Almost anything can be notarized, with a few key exceptions. Perhaps the most common reason the notary declines to notarize is a lack of proper ID. Most notaries will require "government issued photo ID", however the legal requirement varies from state to state. In New York State the code does not specify what the notary must see; and each notary establishes their own standard for ID. Non Photo ID is never acceptable. A photo ID from "Freddie's Gym" will probably not be accepted; whereas a work ID - might.

A notary must make "face to face" contact to verify ID. It is illegal to notarize via Fax or verify ID on the basis of a telephone call. I have an interesting expansion of this situation of my web site: http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com just click the menu item "Notary Law & Procedures". The wording of the document determines if the notary is required to actually witness the signing of the document.

If the wording is "sworn to and subscribed" then the notary is required to see the signature take place. If already signed - it can be signed again to meet the requirement. If the wording is "this instrument was acknowledged before me" - then the notary is only required to check the ID.

Official records, Birth, Marriage, Divorce, Death Certificates, and some others are not generally notarized by a notary public. The equivalent of a notarization is provided by the certification by the issuing authority. A common problem is clients wanting a photocopy of an official record to be notarized. That procedure is always improper as the signature of the official (who is not present) would need to be notarized, not the holder of the document. It's a good idea to order more than one copy when dealing with official (vital) records. A photocopy of a notarized document, or of a "official record" is not considered to be notarized or official.

Notarization can be performed on a very wide variety of "documents". If you catch a very large fish, and write "I caught this fish", along with your name and the date; I can notarize your fish! The key to notarization is the ability of the notary to verify the ID of the affiant. You will find many tips and suggestions on the process of notarization on my site: http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com - I invite you to learn more about the process.

Must know facts about having your transcript or diploma notarized.

It's your college degree or transcript and you have been asked by your employer to provide a notarized copy or perhaps an Apostille.. It sounds simple, but there are a few things for you to consider, and some decisions for you to make. The simplest procedure is for you to write a statement that the document is yours, and have your signature on the statement notarized.

Alternatively, you can have a notary go to the school, obtain a letter from the registrar that the attached copy is authentic, and have the signature of the registrar notarized. Both procedures involve the notarization of a signature, but the first is your signature; the second is the signature of the registrar.

The first procedure, the notarization of your signature is the valid, but, does not constitute notarization of the degree or transcript. It might be acceptable; but that determination can only be made by the person or institution where you submit the documents.

You can even have http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com obtain an apostille on the document, but it will be an apostille of your signature (on the statement); it will not be an apostille of the underlying document. This procedure often works; it depends on the recipient.

The alternative involves more work. A notary must go to the educational institution, meet with the registrar, obtain a letter stating the attached document (degree or transcript) is valid; and notarize the signature on that letter - that refers to the document. With this procedure the document itself has been notarized and is far more acceptable, compared to your statement of the documents validity. The letter from the registrar should be on official school stationary and the title of the person signing should be on the letter. They must be an official of the school, authorized to make a statement as to the validity of the attached document. Ideally the letter describes the attached document in detail, the signature must me handwritten not imprinted or a stamp.

Educational documents are among the most difficult to process for Apostille or Embassy/Consulate Legalization. The difficult part is arranging for the notary to meet with the proper school official. I have successfully processed many educational documents, generally for use overseas - with Apostille / Legalization. Please understand that these requirements are in place to protect you against forgery and identity theft.

Why you need more than one Power of Attorney

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 08:30:13 GMT

Why you need more than one Power of Attorney

As a New York Mobile Notary Public, I am often called upon to notarize a single Power of Attorney document. I always advise my clients to prepare multiple copies of the form prior to my arrival. The Power of Attorney basically allows someone else to sign your name on a legal document. You can specify exactly what the "powers" are granted. For example you can restrict your "Attorney in Fact" - the term used for the one who is granted the "power" - to signing the papers for the purchase of a house. The "Attorney in Fact" need not be an actual attorney - you can grant the authority to anyone.

The Power of Attorney (POA) document, when "unrestricted" conveys very broad powers indeed. Careful thought should be given to both what powers are granted, and the character of your representative. An unrestricted POA could be used to "sign you into" a mental institution! Remember you are granting authority to "sign your name." As this is such a profound document; and that someone else is legally signing your name, the POA is often kept upon use. For example: If you grant me the authority to go to your safe deposit box, the bank will retain the POA for their records. The bank will want to keep the original POA to substantiate that your access to the box was duly authorized.

Thus the POA is not a "show and go;" but rather a "surrender upon use" document. That is the reason several copies (each duly notarized), are most generally required. A Xerox copy of a notarized document is NOT a notarized document. To manage the affairs of someone might require over a dozen POA's. Original POA's will be required by each bank, brokerage account, credit card account, etc. It is vital that the notarizations on each POA be preformed without the slightest flaw. My site http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com has tips, suggestions and checklists to make sure the notarization will stand up the close scrutiny always given to this most powerful of legal forms.

Why would I want a Mobile Notary to come to me?

Why would I want a Mobile Notary to come to me?

There are many reasons to use a Mobile Notary. Perhaps the most important one is that the mobile notary is dedicated to the notary profession, a specialist. Of course you can go to the bank and use their notary, hoping they are up to date on current laws, have the proper insurance coverage, and have a supply of notarization forms for when the requisite notary wording is missing, etc.

Banks also tend to be very selective about what they are willing to notarize, sometimes requiring you have an account with the bank.

Many times we are called to notarize when several people must sign the same document and all of the signatures are to be notarized, as in the case of a will. It would be very difficult for a group to "walk around" trying to find a notary! It is far more practical, considering the witness's time, to have Ken Edelstein appear on schedule.

Sometimes the affiant cannot get to a notary. Obvious examples are hospital and senior citizen situations. At these times the skilled and patient professional notary can assist in the process; assuring all that the procedure is completed correctly. I have a page on my web site devoted to the mobile notary function; it contains a checklist to assist in your selection of a properly prepared notary: http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com/mobilenotary.html

It can also just be a matter of convenience, avoiding the need for a couple to venture out in bad weather, possibly with a small child; so the parents can have a document notarized. Many of my clients are professionals; the time spent "looking for" a notary can result in missed calls; broken appointments; and often cost more than my modest fee.

The Case of the Mysterious Notary

I note with amusement the recent growth of "phantom" Notary Service web sites. No names, no home addresses, often just a cell phone number, and a machine/"dispatcher" that says "someone will get back to you". That's my home address on my site and the 212 number is my home phone. I am also National Notary Association "Background Checked" and a 123notary.com "Elite" Certified Signing Agent.

When we meet the first thing I do, prior to asking for your ID is to show you mine. I have my NY State Drivers License, my Notary Commission, and my EPA Federal Lead Based Paint Inspector "badge" (with photo).

The sites that boast of "Accreditations" are really referring to (sometimes) paid memberships. Real accreditations are earned, not bought. I am a member of both the BBB and the Local Chamber of Commerce - with clickable links to my listing on their sites. Be wary of accreditations in a "Company Name", people take tests, not organizations. Who are the (unlikely) 6+ staff members, what are their names? How much experience does each have, you might get the "runt" of the litter who just started!

If a "Company" does not give any names on their site, and you wish to know who really is the company? Ask for a copy of the "Certificate of Doing Business Under an Assumed Name, if they don't do business under a genuine human name. Most of all, be wary of "false New Yorkers", operating under a "New York sounding name". Many don't live in New York City; some don't even live in New York State! My site is http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com - and my picture is there too.

Always ask, and verify where the Notary lives. An out of New York state resident notary will probably be unwilling or unable to respond quickly from their distant home location, if at all. Also, many notaries "part time"; attempting to "squeeze you in" around their 9 to 5 NYC jobs; but their priority is, of course; their other job - not you! They don't put their names on their web sites so their "main job" boss won't know about their "other" activities. My point is that you should ask questions about "facts" stated - not just on Notary sites - but in any advertising. If someone will try to fool you to "get your business" they might also try to "give you the business" in other ways...... Do you need a Notary or an Attorney? visit here

How to tell if you should "pass" on a Notary Web site, and select a different one

How to tell if you should "pass" on a Notary Web site, and select a different one

There are many notary web sites to choose from. Some are better than others. Selecting a notary is not much different from selecting any other service. With the assumption that the notarization that you see is important and you want it done correctly the first time: Spend some time reading a few pages on the site; even look at some topics that you are not interested in. Look for inconsistencies; do they claim to be in business 5 years on one page and 7 on another?

Accreditations are commonly listed on many sites. The most valid accreditations are "clickable links" that go "off site" to the referenced site; ideally showing the notary's profile and history. Flat, non-clickable images are often just a copy and paste - without even obtaining permission for use, or any real membership involved. Look for Better Business Bureau or Chamber of Commerce membership. An accreditation from an organization you never heard of should be given little weight in your selection process.

A guarantee is important; it shows the notary is willing to stand by their work. My guarantee is 100% - I offer at http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com to redo or refund (at YOUR option) everything I do. Also look for outrageous claims that you know are absurd. Here, in New York City, anyone who claims to be able to respond to your location 24x7, in any of the 5 boroughs, in under half an hour is just boasting. Also look for useful information - does the site inform and assist - without you having to ask for information - or are they just eager to get your email address?

There are few "large" mobile notary services. Most are individuals. Some, however, try to appear to be a big business; I could never quite figure out why. Notarization is a one on one function; you don't need a call center, dispatchers, quality control officers, or executive offices. Unless you want to pay for their salaries. I am a professional notary, with the equipment, training and skill to notarize, obtain apostille or legalization and I also do fingerprinting. Everything I do is 100% guaranteed. I invite you to browse my web site http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com - I promise to not waste your time with boasts and endless self serving sales pitches - I also promise you will find well organized, well researched, and well written useful information related to notary services.

Apostille - Much Cheaper than Airfare!

Mobil Notary | All Purpose New York Notary | Apostille Processing | Legalization and Fingerprinting

Brought to you by Kenneth A Edelstein All Purpose Certified New York Mobile Notary ......

Apostille - Much Cheaper than Airfare!

You have a house in Naples, Italy; and you want to sell it. Many papers will need to be signed in front of an Italian notary. One way to process the transaction is to book a flight to Naples and remain there during the process; signing documents and bringing them to a local notary. There will probably be "some" delays. Your budget return flight will be missed as you wait for the legal process to grind along. Perhaps the buyer will be unavailable for a planned session. The "go there and do it yourself" option will most likely take much more time and expense than planned.

There is a better option. Hire an attorney based in Naples. Give your Italian attorney a limited Power of Attorney granting the right to sign your name on all documents necessary for the property transfer. Your attorney will need you to provide the Power of Attorney with the (usually) internationally recognized Apostille, attesting to your signature. I have processed many Apostilles for similar transactions; full details are at my web site: http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com - in the menu item Apostille Processing.

You obtain, from your Italian attorney the locally approved, in this case Naples; Power of Attorney form; it can be emailed to you; and forwarded to me for printing on legal size paper if necessary. You sign it in my presence, and I obtain the Apostille; which is added to the document. The document now has the legal status as if you flew to Naples and signed the Power of Attorney in Italy.

Thus the Apostille bearing document has the status of having a notarization that has near worldwide acceptance. I say "near" because there are a few countries that do not honor the Apostille - but the vast majority of nations do.

There is no need to fly to Naples to give your attorney a locally acceptable Power of Attorney. My Mobile Notary service will print as many copies as required (be sure to inquire how many your processing will require,) bring them to your home or office; and notarize your signature for each copy. After that, I will go thru the processing steps to obtain the Apostille, usually the next day after you sign for each required copy. Note that a Xerox copy of a notarized document is not itself a notarized document. Not only will the copy lack a raised seal; it also lacks your original signature. It is impossible to obtain an Apostille for a Xerox copy - each must have an original signature and notarization.

The Consumers Survival Guide
Selecting a Fingerprinting Service

The two basic techniques of taking fingerprints.

Traditional Ink and Paper - This is by far the most common and acceptable method for taking fingerprints. Accepted almost everywhere, this method has been the standard for decades. Print quality determined by the skill of the technician. Requires ink on fingers, but modern wipes remove all traces of the ink. Instant results, completed card can be shipped immediately.
Live Scan - A new technology with very limited acceptance. Tremendous "start up" costs. The machine cost about ten thousand dollars and leases for over six hundred a month, with the costs passed on to clients. A Mobile Scanning machine does not produce "hardcopy" fingerprint card, but, on request, card can be printed and delivered, at additional cost, at a later date. If they have a printer.

How to check out a Fingerprinting Service

Referrals are a start, but it's safe to assume you will only be referred to positive references.
A guarantee should allow for you to choose: money back or redo - sometimes you might not want the same "reject" source to try again - insist on a money back option if prints are rejected.
Is the business a Member in Good Standing of Better Business Bureau? Chamber of Commerce?
Does the company publish a name, address and contact number for the "top man?" Do they name the technical staff? If not, ask why not. Ask if they will respond to an emergency after hours.
Do they limit you to "office hours" at their distant location, or will they go to your location anytime?
Don't be impressed by a company location or equipment - fingerprinting success (ink or scan) depends on the skill of the technician. You should interview the technician and use your instincts.

My thoughts on Live Scan Fingerprinting Technology

I investigated the current "Guardian" as well as the older and somewhat obsolete "ID-500" (it cannot do "flat four" rapid scanning and relies heavily on the skill of the operator to roll the fingers - exactly the same as ink and paper). I determined they are best suited to a single location, sending always to the same place. The problem is that the scanning machines are limited to sending to a single destination. For example, if I purchased a "Guardian" and registered it for FINRA (brokerage use); I could not use it to send to anywhere else. But, if I carry along a computer, than the scanner could be reconfigured to send to a different location. However, the manufacturer told me that a separate PC is really required for each location that prints will be sent to! To make things worse, only FBI certified printers are allowed to print standard cards from the scanned images. Thus, to provide the same flexibility I now have with card and ink, I would need a scanner, several laptops, and a FBI approved printer. Way too much complexity for me. And, I might add in passing that I am truly a computer expert, having done PC support since the Apple was first introduced! It does make sense for XYZ Brokerage to have it to register brokers with FINRA - the brokerage clearinghouse - one machine - one target destination is when the "Live Scan" solution seems most practical.

For general purpose work, Immigration, Clearances, Licensing, Adoptions, etc - Ink, card, and a skilled technician seems the most practical approach for the time being. That will probably change, but not anytime soon. I don't use a "black box", you can see the quality of my fingerprinting with your own eyes, No network delays, no software "glitches", no super high tech prices - just what you need to submit - instantly.

Phony Apostille Services - How to Spot Them

Phony Apostille Services - How to Spot Them

Sometimes an Apostille can be issued without your signature. One example is a Birth Certificate issued by the City of New York. If you need your New York City Birth Certificate used overseas, chances are that an Apostille affixed to it will be required. As the City is the issuer of the document; it's their "signature" that applies, not yours. Therefore, you do not sign anything - the Birth Certificate - with letter of exemplification, forms the basis of receiving the Apostille.

Except for the above example, and similar governmental issued documents, your signature is the basis for the Apostille. Your signature will require notarization, and that notarization must be perfect. All notarizations require personal presence with the notary. That is the flaw in Apostille by Mail services. They issue the notarization of your signed document without actually checking your identification and meeting with you. Such activity is, of course, illegal. If the notarization is illegal, the Apostille issued for that notarization is also void; the same as the fraudulent notarization.

An Apostille is the additional verification of the notarization, which is verification of the original signature. As in any field of endeavor, there are those willing to "take shortcuts." They collect their fee and issue what looks genuine; but has been obtained thru fraud. As an Apostille is almost always used for an important document; would you want to risk your document being nullified when the fraud is discovered?

There is no legal notarization of your signature via mail, email, phone or Fax. Personal appearance with the notary, checking of ID, and administering the notary oath is always required to legally notarize your signature. At http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com I cover this in greater detail. Your Apostille bearing document is probably very important to you; do not allow an unscrupulous service to involve you in fraudulent activities.

Do you need notarization, apostille or legalization?

Mobil Notary | All Purpose New York Notary | Apostille Processing | Legalization and Fingerprinting

Do you need notarization, apostille or legalization?

I am often asked if a document needs to be notarized; an apostille affixed or should be Embassy/Consulate legalized. Not being an attorney, I can not give legal advice. But, I can say the answer is: it depends on the requirements of the person or organization receiving the document. They have their requirements - it is those requirements that determine what processing the document must receive.

It is rare for documents originating in the US and to be used in the US to require an apostille or legalization. Those processes are generally for documents that originate in the US and are destined to be used in a different country. But, ever there; there are exceptions to the general rule. I have had cases where a locally used document required an apostille on the chance that it might be used in evidence in a foreign court!

In New York State even the notarization procedure has an option. After the notary affixes their seal and stamp; an additional step, authentication of the notary signature can be requested. Usually this additional step is part of the apostille or legalization procedure. However, I have often been requested to provide authenticated notarizations for documents to be used in court. It's a "best practice" for the notary to always emboss documents when they affix their rubber stamp seal. The embossing is proof positive that the document is the original.

I have placed checklists and tips regarding the above, and much more on my web site: http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com and I invite you to brows the research that I have posted. I often use the Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder phrase to explain that, while I can provide a variety of service; I cannot specify what service is required. Case in point: marriage license. I have notarized, obtained notary authentication, obtained an apostille; and added legalization to the apostille - for a marriage license destined for use in China. For other clients, just notarizing a copy of the marriage license is what they need.

Should your Notary use a LOOSE Acknowledgement?

Mobil Notary | All Purpose New York Notary | Apostille Processing | Legalization and Fingerprinting All Purpose Certified New York Mobile Notary

Brought to you by Kenneth A Edelstein

Should your Notary use a LOOSE Acknowledgement?

Most forms I notarize have a notary section with the standard notary wording in place. Some, however, are missing the required notarial wording. New York State, for example, requires the location where the notarization was performed, the date, a statement by the notary, etc. The most common notary statement is "This instrument was acknowledged before me by." If the requisite wording is missing it is the responsibility of the notary to add it to the document.

There are two primary ways for the notary to add the wording. The most common is to staple a form, the loose acknowledgement directly to the document. However, if the document is to be sent via FAX the stapled addition presents a problem. An alternative is to have the notary either write the wording directly on the document (sloppy), or use an acknowledgement stamp that contains the proper wording. The stamp is much neater, gives a more presentable appearance and does not rely on notary memory for completeness. Not every notary carries this often needed stamp. If your documents do not have notary wording and there is a possibility they will be faxed, be sure your notary has this essential tool.

The worst option is for the notary to ignore the requisite wording and merely rubber stamp the notary seal, and sign below it. That is very poor notary practice and really not a valid notarization. The use of the loose acknowledgement stamp is generally preferred - if there is room at the bottom of the page for both the wording stamp and the notary stamp. Experienced notaries usually carry two notary stamps - same content - but different sizes to fit the available space. A really good notary will have two embossers for the same reason.

It is important that you check the work of the notary to be sure all the requirements for notarization are on your signed document. The Venue (State of.... County of....), your name neatly printed, the notary statement, and the notary signature. The signature of the notary must exactly match the notary name as on the notary rubber stamp. I have additional tips and suggestions regarding notarizations on my site: http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com - check the About Me and Notary at Your Location pages for additional information. An improperly executed notarization is worse than none at all. At a glance it looks good, but to the trained eye (after a bit of reading on my site), the omissions are obvious.

A specially trained notary called a Signing Agent can be dispatched to meet with you at a location and time of your choosing. The Signing Agent will bring two complete sets of printed documents. One will be signed and notarized at your location; the other will be a copy for your records. The Signing Agent will guide you, step by step, thru the signing; notarize and ship the documents. The Signing Agent fee is normally considered a Title Company expense; you don't pay extra for this service.

The procedure is often called a closing, however it is only the first step in the closing process. But, it is a vital step and must be completed perfectly. A single flaw, missing signature, or botched notarization can put the entire process on hold - until the error has been corrected. I have a published article on my site, http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com with a very complete discussion of this process. An important aspect is the Right of Recession, most commonly known as the Right to Cancel. It allows three business days to review the borrower copy, resolve issues; and if necessary cancel the transaction.

The Right of Recession only applies if the collateral for the mortgage is a primary residence. In other words, if the property is a second home - there is no Right to Cancel. One suggestion: as an alternative to having the Signing Agent bring the documents to your home; you can request the entire Loan Package be sent directly to you. This will give you plenty of time to review the complete package with your Loan Officer - prior to the arrival of the Notary Signing Agent. This is especially important if you will not be receiving a Right of Recession.

Another tip: After the Signing Agent has departed; number your copy of the loan package (it's not the legal copy, so feel free to write on it). Typically, the package is about 100 pages. Next, with a pad of paper alongside - go thru your package page by page. When you have a question; for example the Escrow Amount on page 34 - circle the item in question directly on page 34 of the Loan Package. Next, on your pad of paper write the number 34 and the issue: Escrow amount too low. Proceed thru the entire document, noting all issues and questions. When you are done, the pad will be a directory to issues in the Loan Package, with page numbers and reference to the issue. The Loan Documents will have the appropriate area circled. Then, in an organized manner, you can contact your loan officer to resolve all issues in one phone call. More links and update's from Kenneth A Edelstein All Purpose Certified New York Mobile Notary

Do you need a Notary or an Attorney?

Free Legal Advice - Do you need a Notary or an Attorney?

I often get calls asking me to assist in the "preparation" of legal documents. "Just tell me what it needs to say," is the most common request. Being a New York State notary; I am bound by the NY Notary Laws. An excerpt follows: May not give advice on the law. The notary may not draw any kind of legal papers, such as wills, deeds, bills of sale, mortgages, chattel mortgages, contracts, leases, offers, options, incorporation papers, releases, mechanics liens, power of attorney, complaints and all legal pleadings, papers in summary proceedings to evict a tenant, or in bankruptcy, affidavits, or any papers which our courts have said are legal documents or papers.

The real function of the Notary is to verify the identification of persons signing legal documents under oath. In New York State, and most other jurisdictions; notaries are forbidden to create documents or give legal advice. Being a notary and knowing my state's Notary Law; allows me to perform the notarization process. I can make certain that the notarization meets all legal requirements.

For example: it is recommended that the embosser always be used for documents destined for processing outside of NY State. As a matter of procedure I emboss all notarizations routinely.It's a real temptation to help my clients draft what appears to be a simple document. But I must decline, no matter how "trivial."

Lawyers have the license and skills for legal document preparation, not notaries. The same applies to "legal advice." "Should I sign this," is another common question that I am forbidden to answer. However, there are some questions that a skilled notary can answer. "Where in this set of mortgage documents can I find the interest rate?" As a Certified Signing Agent, http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com is able to assist borrowers in finding key aspects within their loan documents. It's truly a fine line between that permitted assistance and "explaining the documents."

Often, when I decline to give a "legal opinion," my client tells me that the request is too trivial to warrant the expense of hiring an attorney. Free legal advice is easily obtainable. The source I usually suggest is the local political office. Assembly leaders,

Congressional representatives, and other elected officials frequently maintain neighborhood offices. These tend to be staffed by recent law school graduates, or beginning attorneys; who are authorized to give legal advice and assist in the creation of documents.

How to be the world's WORST Notary / Signing Agent

How to be the world's WORST Notary / Signing Agent

Never write things down - rely on your good memory. Book EVERY call that you get and go to the one that pays the most. Use the same stamp for life - after you cut off the "99" from the date then cut off the "19" and just write in the 2000 year. Never clean your stamp. Dress shabby - looking poor might get you a tip. Arrive late - they will appreciate you more when you finally show. Ignore all rules - backdate, fax notarizations, loan out your stamp and seal when you are on vacation - for a commission of course. Curse out the loan officer when the docs are late or over 50 pages. Shrink all e-docs to cheaper letter paper - legal paper costs too much anyway. Ship completed signings only on Saturday - it's easier to find parking.

Bait and Switch all "signing companies" demanding double the agreed fee - save this demand till an hour before scheduled time. Eat lots of beans and garlic - borrowers sign quickly in a flatulent environment. Charge extra for using your embosser - after all it's extra work. Never renew your commission - just update the stamp. Never check ID - nobody really gives a hoot who signed it as long as it's not blank. Retain the signature page of the mortgage till the title company pays you. If your check doesn't arrive promptly, sue the borrower - after all it's their signatures you notarized. Pirate other notaries web sites - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Send phony invoices to lots of Title Companies and signing agencies - collect what they did not pay other notaries.

You're entitled to give opinions about the interest rate and any aspect of the loan - be colorful in your comments.

Bring your lunch to the job - it shows you have good time management skills. Have the affiant sign in day glow green ink - legal docs need a bit of color. Always tell the borrower what you think they want to hear - promise anything to get them to sign quicker.

Put your stamp in the MIDDLE of the page - show them who's important. Never give the borrower a copy - most can't or won't read it anyway - and paper is expensive. Make a copy of the return FedEx/UPS airbill and use it to send your invoice if not paid in one week. When the borrower's apartment/home is a DUMP - it's OK to tell them so. You must tell all clients that you expect tips - otherwise how are they to know. This tongue in cheek humor from http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com

Park on the borrower's lawn so you won't be blocked in on their driveway. Any room without a No Smoking sign is your invitation to light up. If the borrower forgot to make a copy of their drivers' license just slip the original into the package when they are not looking. Make any changes to the documents that will get the borrower to sign - after all you are a public official with authority. A few drinks can help steady your hand. Off color, sexist and racist jokes show self confidence and professional ability. Never read signing instructions - who are they to boss you around? Keep phone charges down by calling the borrower collect. Learn to shortchange - clients usually have their mind on the documents. Never go alone - bring friends to help create a festive environment. Answer all "legal" questions with your best guess - it makes you appear very wise and lets you bill the borrower directly for your legal opinions.

Sometimes you don't have to Sign the Document before the Notary.

Sometimes you don't have to Sign the Document before the Notary.

While it's generally a good rule to not sign a document to be notarized until the notary is present; sometimes you can! It all depends on what the notary, (not you) will be saying. At the end of your document there is a "notary section" - it generally starts with "State of: and County of:. In the notary's statement (which is signed by the notary); most commonly are one of two key phrases. It is these phrases that determine if you can lawfully sign the document prior to the notarys arrival.

The first format "sworn to and subscribed before me"; has the keyword "subscribed" - this requires the notary to actually witness the signing process. No exceptions. All notarizations are "sworn to" - as a good notary will give the "oath" as part of the notarization process. But "subscribed" allows no leeway. You must wait for the notary to be present to witness your signature. What if you already signed? Most commonly the notary will simply ask you to sign again near the first signature. Some will request you to draw a single line thru the prior signature and initial the end of the line; a legal erasure.

However, if it says "this instrument was acknowledged before me" than the notary is only required to ask you if you did indeed sign the document! When you say "yes" you are acknowledging that you did do the relevant signature. Some notaries are not comfortable with this process, but it is "the letter of the law". I cover this and many other aspects and details about notarizations on my site: http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com and I invite you to use it as a resource for many notary related functions.

In either case above, as in any notarization; there is always the requirement for "face to face" contact with the notary. It is always illegal to notarize by Fax or phone. The notary always has the responsibility of checking your ID prior to completing the notarization. I often hear that the procedure is "difficult" - due to the ID checking and the face to face contact requirement. Please understand that the procedures are designed to protect you from someone impersonating you. Notaries must check your ID in person to verify your identity. Most times a government issued photo ID is required; a social security card does not have a picture and will rarely be accepted unless other identification is presented.

Exposed: Notarization does NOT make your document valid !

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 03:34:43 GMT

Mobil Notary | All Purpose New York Notary | Apostille Processing | Legalization and Fingerprinting

Brought to you by Kenneth A Edelstein All Purpose Certified New York Mobile Notary

"It's notarized, so it must be valid", is a common misconception about notarizations. What must be understood is the distinction between the content of a document and the signature on the document. Notarization verifies the identity of the affiant, the one who is stating that the document is true. What notarization does not do is make the content true, valid or reliable. A false notarized document is just that: a false notarized document.

It is not the function of the notary to read the document - at all. The responsibility of the notary is to check the identification of the person making the statement. The only part of the document that is "validated" by the notary is the signature! While it is poor notary practice to notarize a document known to be false, the notary has no requirement to read the entire document. For example: If, in the middle of a lengthy affidavit, the affiant includes the statement "I had dinner with Elvis on April 1st, 2008" - the notary would probably not notice the false claim. The document would be routinely notarized. The notarization certainly does not make the statement credible!

While notarization does not make a false statement valid, it does subject the affiant to criminal penalties. When you knowingly sign a false statement, and have it notarized, the crime is perjury, not something to take lightly. False statements on notarized documents are legally the same as false statements made in court under oath. This concept is further explored and other aspects of notarizations on my site: http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com. It is vital to understand that notarization addresses the validity of the signature only. Even then, a clever forgery can fool a notary, it's not often the situation; but certainly possible.

Beware of "Junk Notarizations"

Beware of Junk Notarizations brought to you by Kenneth A Edelstein All Purpose Certified New York Mobile Notary

Often it is a legal requirement for a document to be notarized. Without the notarization the document may be unacceptable, as when a Mortgage needs to be recorded with the county clerk's office. A flawed notarization is the same as no notarization at all. The county officials are very familiar with the legal requirements for a notarization and will reject on sight a flawed document. If the mortgage, for example, can't be recorded; the entire transaction is in peril

The most common "Junk Notarization" is when the notary only stamps and signs the document. This is not a legal notarization. Notaries are required to "make a statement", eg: "sworn to before me on mm/dd/yy by "affiant name"". Also the "venue" or where the notarization took place is required. That is the reason the "State of New York" and "County of Richmond", for example; appears at the start of a notarization. The notary is also required to give the affiant an oath, asking if the document is truthful and if they signed, and understood the document.

Sometimes a "Junk Notarization" can be fixed by returning it to the Notary of Record who did the initial notarization and have them add the missing components. Other times, the document must be re-signed. My web site has tips and checklists on how to avoid a "Junk Notarization". Visit http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com for details. Specific information is in the "About Me" and "Notary at Your Location" pages. An improperly notarized document might be discovered immediately, or years later. Whenever it is - you can be sure it will be a source of grief and expense that can be easily avoided by learning the basics of what a notary should do.

Eagles & Bears

Eagles and Bears - Blessed are the Peacemakers

The war had been going on for centuries. The war between the Eagles and the Bears. Nobody in the forest knew what started the war. But everyone know how often Bears were injured terribly or killed by dive bombing Eagles or just as often Eagles were killed in large numbers by sudden attacks by Bears or as they dove and the Bears swatted them from the sky. Far too often the ones hurt the most were the children or babies or mommies of the baby Eagles and Bears who wanting nothing more than peace to raise their children.

Nevertheless, rumor had been in the air for a long time of a war to end all wars. A final battle was coming that would pit every Bear in the woods against every Eagle and a final victor will emerge. But nobody knew when that day would come. But that day did come, before anyone was prepared for it. It came about when Bartholomew Bear was playing in the woods by himself. He wasn’t supposed to do that but sometimes children forget the warnings of their parents because they want so much to explore and learn. He was chasing a butterfly laughing and leaping at it from a log to a stump to a rock and then to the ground.

Suddenly he felt a shooting pain in his foot. He cried out before he even know what happened but he heard the SNAP of that man trap closed on his foot and he knew he was in big trouble. He must have cried for hours wishing his Mommy or Daddy would come. Little did he know they were preparing for the final battle, the war to end all wars with the Eagles.

The butterfly lit on his bear shoulder. “Can’t you get your foot out Bartholomew?” The butterfly said. “I want to play some more.”

“NO,” the little Bear cried big tears in his eyes. “This trap has my leg in these pointy claws and it really hurts.”

“There is another one right next to it.” Mr. Butterfly observed. “Make sure you don’t get your other foot in it. I will fly for help.”

“Yes please hurry.” The sad little Bear begged his friend. It was not long later that Bartholomew saw his help coming. Dozens and dozens of bears appeared on the ridge.

“Wow they sent everyone” he remarked to himself as more and more Bears lined up on that ridge and just stood there staring over at the other ridge on the opposite side of the valley Bartholomew was in.

On the other side, the armies of the Eagles were gathering. Filling the trees of the thick forest there, they dug their talons in and stared hatefully at the army of Bears just across the way not knowing the poor helpless Bear cub was trapped between them.

“DADDY HELP ME!” Bartholomew’s voice suddenly rang out. Both armies looked into the valley and recognized the plight of the child Bear. He was crying loudly as he looked up spotting his Mommy and Daddy in the Bear army on the ridge. Oh, the hearts of that Mommy and Daddy were torn seeing their child in that spot. When the battle begins in just moments, the two armies will rush into that valley and the killing will be most awful.

The Chieftain of the Eagles watched the little Bear. His heart was touched but not enough to call off the attack. “Daddy we have to stop it.” His son Edgar Eagle said to him perched on the same branch with him.

“No son.” The king of the Eagles declared. “We can only hope somehow the Bear child survives the battle.” The Chiefton of the Eagles watched the situation, unwilling to call the attack but unwilling to call it off. He did not see the tiny Mr. Butterfly light on the beak of Edgar Eagle.

The entire armies of Bears were in anguish watching Bartholomew struggle. But despite the begging of Bartholomew’s Mommy and Daddy, the King of the Bears would not call off the attack. The clamor for war began to rise and Bartholomew was terribly afraid. Suddenly, before the call to attack, a lone eagle soared out from the wooded side of the valley ridge. All eyes were glued to that lone figure as it did several near spins and spiraled down in long elegant arches toward the stranded Bartholomew. All of a sudden, the king of the Eagles knew who it was.

“EDGAR VeretekkPlatinumControl” The cry went out and both army’s tensed knowing the son of the King of the eagles had gone into the valley first. He landed at the side of the frightened Bear and looked at his injured leg. “Don’t worry.” Edgar VeretekkPlatinumControl said to Bartholomew. “I come to help” but as he moved around assessing the problem. SNAP the other trap closed on Edgar’s foot. While Edgar VeretekkPlatinumControl was a soldier, the pain of the trap caused him to cry out in misery.

Without a call to war, suddenly two figures burst from either side of the valley. The King of the Eagles shot form the ranks to the aid of his son and the king of the Bears rushed to help the fallen Bartholomew. Seeing their kings’ rush to save the children, both sides suddenly dropped their armor and weapons and rushed into the valley. The thunderous stampede was not a charge to battle and death but to save the precious youth plus the internet marketing newbie and for mercy.

Within moments, the two armies were working like a single-minded people to free the children. The Bears had the strength to pull open the traps and the Eagles the keen eyesight and ability to figure out the mechanisms so they opened them safely. Slowly and carefully, the traps were pulled from the legs of Bartholomew and Edger and they were free. Bartholomew rushed to the arms of the king of the Bears weeping with gratitude and Edger VeretekkPlatinumControl to the king of the Eagles CEO Tom Prendergast embracing him for stopping the attack to save their lives. Then, just as though it was the natural thing to do, Bartholomew ran to the king of the Eagles and embraced him and Edgar wept in the arms of the King of the Bears.

A thunderous shout of celebration went up from both armies. The war was over forever. Never again would the Bears and the Eagles live in warfare but instead they would be brothers and friends for eternity. And all because the son of the King was willing to fly into the valley and was willing to give his life to save his enemy and give him life instead of death.

7 Deadly SEO Link-building Mistakes

We hope this information will help you develop your web-site to a more effective and profitable. Stop by for a Free Web Site Evaluation of your Business

SEO link-building has become one of the main high leverage activities in any online business. The simple fact is that back-links will give you a high page rank and a high page rank will rank you higher in the S.E.R.P's. Obviously this means more traffic and more money, as reported by VodaHost General & Forum Administrator

Back-links make up 90% of your Google rank and because of this, link-building has taken on a life of its own. Most people seem to misunderstand it completely. For starters you should know that not all back links are good links. They can actually hurt you more than help you.

SEO Link-building is all about building links that are natural. Google did not design their ranking system to be manipulated. It was designed to reward good sites that get linked to it naturally. That's why getting the right links can be incredibly difficult if you try and do it manually.

Unfortunately, you have to build in links these days otherwise you will not be competitive. If you sit around and wait for sites to link to you, you might wait forever. The good thing is that this also give the "small guy" a fair shake to get good rankings in Google, Yahoo and M.S.N.

Most guys build Back-links kamikaze style; that is they go in there and just get as many links they can from wherever they can and at whatever cost. This is a recipe for disaster. Once your site gets marked by Google, you might as well start over again.

Rogue link-building techniques can render months of hard work useless, so be very careful when building Back-links. Here are the 7 deadly S.E.O link-building mistakes. Avoid them at all costs.

Mistake #1: Mass Link Packages

Obviously, some sleazy and unscrupulous people are out there selling link packages that are not even worth a mention. Most of the time they blast ads out to classified directories or other spam filled networks. These links are the equivalent of buying spam email lists. Don't do it. Your links might end up on banned sites that can really hurt your Google image.

Mistake #2: Link Exchanges

Back in the day, exchanging links was the main S.E.O link-building strategy. You link to me, I link to you and we both win. Right? Wrong! Google caught on to this when hundreds of link farms opened up. Google can easily trace reciprocal links and they simply don't count for much anymore. Getting links from big link exchange networks can actually hurt your business.

Mistake #3: Linking From Non-Indexed Sites

Most people who spend hours building those free Back-links make the mistake of building links on non-indexed sites. For your back links to count, the page on which you have your link has to be indexed. Having links on non-indexed pages means nothing. It's a waste of time.

Mistake #4: Not Using Anchor Text

At first this probably won't sound too scary, but if you build 2,000 links without relevant anchor text your site can easily pass for a spam site that just gets random links. By using anchor text that is related to your site, it gives your links link-juice; meaning it makes your links relevant and increases the perceived value of each link.

Mistake #5: Not Being Relevant

Google is getting smarter by the day. After all it is their business to provide the most relevant information for each and every search that is conducted. If they don't, people will stop using Google. That's why they protect it so vigorously. When you get Back-links from relevant and related sites that would naturally link to you, then the link will count for a lot. Unrelated and random links from any old site really does not make Google see your site as being important.

Mistake #6: Inorganic links

As I mentioned earlier, Google designed the page rank system to work organically. They are looking for links to come to your site naturally. For the most part that means, slowly and consistently over time from a variety of related sites. If you go and get 1000 links overnight from the same site then Google's alarms will go off and you might land yourself in some Back-linking trouble with the big G. Slow and steady wins the race - especially if you have a new site.

Mistake #7: Buying Links

High PR Back-links are worth gold. Quite literally. I've seen a single PR7 link sell for as much as $250 per month. There are a lot of link networks out there that make it their business to sell links on high PR sites. These links have become quite expensive, but the lure of instant results have people buying links like it's going out of fashion.

Google is catching on and there has been widespread reports of Google slapping page rank. If links are publicly traded then Google can probably trace them and penalize you.

SEO link-building is all about being as natural and as organic as possible. Always go after links that are 1-way, relevant and on sites with a high page rank. If you can get links on pages with a high page rank, even better. Don't fall for the quick-fix promise of so many link building services. In the long run, slow and steady links that look natural will keep sending more and more traffic your way.

I hope this information will help you develop your web-site to a more effective and profitable.

Paid Search Is About Process, Not Planning

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 06:11:46 GMT

Search engine optimization could be a tiring task but with time it sure helps you get better traffic. Take the Free SEO Preparedness Quiz Visit SEO-Specialist-Online.com

Paid Search Is About Process, Not Planning

Many times we’re asked to present a plan for the next 30 – 60 – 90 days of a paid search program. This makes a great deal of sense when we bring a new client on board and have to fix or re-build their program. It takes time to build out a program comprehensively and laying out the priorities helps manage expectations. After that point that request for a “vision” or “plan” reveals a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of paid search marketing as reported by George Michie .

Paid search is an amazingly powerful channel for capturing existing demand. It is not a demand generating channel. Like the yellow pages people only see the ads when they’re in the market for the advertiser’s products or services. Yellow page ads don’t make people interested in taking yoga; they convince people who are interested in yoga to try the advertiser’s studio. Paid search plays the same role, but it’s easy for marketers steeped in traditional channels to miss the implications of this fact.

For demand generating channels planning is of paramount importance. Television ads seek to 1) create awareness of a brand; 2) infuse that brand awareness with positive connotations; and 3) catapult that positive awareness into action. Marketers must plan the proper messaging and imagery for each phase, and plan the timing and budgets. Even direct marketers like catalogers must plan contact strategies, page counts and formats, circulation counts and frequency of touches. Planning is required because the marketer must generate interest and action, and the time lag between marketing investment and eventual payoff is both long and not guaranteed.

Paid search is different in every respect. Budgets don’t make sense for advertisers with shopping carts on their sites because the sales happen before they pay for the ads. We don’t have to plan what products to push or when; the ads will be served to the right audience at the right time and in the right volume to respond to consumer demand.

This is not to suggest that paid search requires no work. Paid search demands well honed processes for dealing with product turnover, landing page changes, promotional offers, seasonal shifts and more. Skilled analysts study data six-ways-to-Sunday to find nuggets of gold in search logs, in click-to-order intervals, and in new classification schemes that feed statistically meaningful differentiators to our algorithms. Reacting to shifts in consumer behavior and anticipating them whenever possible takes knowledge, skill and mountains of well-organized data.

However, it doesn’t really require a plan. Indeed, predicting what projects will be most valuable 30 days from now, or 60 is both impossible and unwise. The priorities change depending on all kinds of factors outside of the analyst’s control. Locking an analyst into an arbitrary schedule prevents them from adjusting to the priorities of the moment and thereby squancders opportunities.

Asking an analyst for a long range plan for a paid search campaign is like asking your stock broker what stocks you should buy and which you should sell 6 months from now. They can make those recommendations if you really want them, but usually you’d be wise not follow them.

Absence of “a plan” is unsettling, particularly when you’re working with an agency. You can’t see them hard at work at their desks every day, so it’s natural to wonder whether they’re asleep at the switch. This fear is compounded by the reality of PPC agencies that all too often are asleep at the switch.

Trust comes from results, and in PPC results come from smart people with great tools and great processes. Anticipating and reacting to changes in the landscape requires hard work, knowledge, skills and the flexibility to follow one’s nose.

When to Run Away from an SEO Company

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 06:50:39 GMT

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online, Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs. For a Free Web Site Evaluation Visit Here

When to Run Away from an SEO Company

You probably shouldn't be charged for a couple things that many "back alley" or "strip mall" SEO companies and consultants still offer. In some cases, even larger marketing organizations are trying to push value into some tactics that are outdated or simply don't work to help rankings, as reported by Chris Boggs, Search Engine Watch, Sept 2009

No two sites on the Internet are identical. In rare instances, some of the below tactics may work. But most of the time, if your SEO company is pushing these services on you, take a good hard look at what you're paying for.

SEO Tactic Octogenarians: Time for Forced Retirement

1. Submitting Sites to Search Engines: There's a big difference between submitting your site to the search engines and submitting your site to Directories, Link Pages, Online Malls, Classified Sites! . This type of submission is a very important part of link building, and has continually proven to be valuable.

Submitting your sites to the search engines isn't as valuable to SEO. This simply offers another way for the search engines to find your site. If all you do is submit it to the search engines and sit back and wait, you likely won't see any rankings, other than potentially for your brand name.

Search engines no longer need you to submit to them, although they still provide the functionality for you to do so. As Google says on their submission page, however, "We do not add all submitted URLs to our index, and we cannot make any predictions or guarantees about when or if they will appear."

Google and the other engines are fine taking this additional information, but if you're paying someone to do this once, or even monthly, then you're wasting time and money. As Google also states: "Only the top-level page from a host is necessary; you do not need to submit each individual page. Our crawler, Googlebot, will be able to find the rest. Google updates its index on a regular basis, so updated or outdated link submissions are not necessary. Dead links will 'fade out' of our index on our next crawl when we update our entire index."

2. SEO Landing Pages: Another outdated tactic is building landing pages just for SEO, although this is a temporary solution that e-commerce companies sometimes choose to take rather than spending the time fixing the actual site and navigation. In most cases, if you want long-term results without sacrificing user experience consistency, you should optimize your actual content versus trying to create circa 2001 "doorway pages."

3. Reciprocal Linking: The last outdated tactic is using reciprocal linking as a primary link building tactic. If your SEO company or consultants requires that you place an outbound link to every site that is linking to you, then you should run away. Some reciprocal links aren't bad, especially ones that occur naturally -- just be worried if this is the only link building tactic presented.

SEO Tactics on the Bubble

1. Social Bookmarking: One tactic that has very few concrete results is social bookmarking. Some people will likely argue this, but we've yet to prove ranking lift from the addition of a URL to a Delicious or StumbleUpon. These and other links appear within backlink reports, but that alone doesn't indicate that the link is helping from a SEO perspective.

Yahoo-owned MyBlogLog cleans out their bookmark links on a regular basis. As seen in this FAQ, they provide a good reason for this: "New with Me is a moving river of updates. We are not trying to re-create the Internet. We store the last 100 items and up to 25 'clusters' of events. If you're interested in looking at older updates, we direct you to the original service provider for the full archive."

It's very important to understand that not all links are permanent. Thus, to build lasting SEO value, the majority of links developed should be permanent and carry some sort of authority.

Of course, a "natural" pattern would be that some links come and go. But if you spend a large amount of time (or are pay someone else for) building links using social bookmarking or other "expiring" link tactics, you won't get full value from your time investment.

Please note that some people do this at an almost "industrial" level to help boost rankings, by building literally thousands of links, and "refreshing" the links with new ones as they age or get stale. This would only look natural to a search algorithm if the target site has tens of thousands of existing links. Those using this tactic need to keep building links over and over, and have likely budgeted hundreds of hours to support this task with the amount of hours that it would need to provide long lasting value.

2. Article Syndication: Other tactics that are "on the bubble" include large-scale article syndication and "press release over-optimization." Articles that are relevant to your site and contain links pointed back can be valuable if syndicated on a limited basis to hand-picked partners, but using mass syndication services doesn't often yield the kinds of backlinks that could be garnered from a more personalized approach. The jury is definitely still out on this tactic, but a custom approach (which takes longer) provides value.

3. Over-Optimizing Press Releases: Press release "over-optimization" is something that many readers have probably seen after setting up an RSS feed to monitor a particular word or industry phrase. I always laugh when I see the same SEO company put out a press release every time it signs a new client, because when I check even month later, they haven't climbed in the rankings for the terms they seem to be targeting.

The use of press releases and syndicating through PR Newswire or PRWeb can be valuable, but like article syndication, this tactic must be leveraged in moderation. If you're concerned about how many press releases you've sent out to support your SEO efforts, consider if you're overdoing it. For large companies with lots of relevant news, however, this is a different story -- these companies may be OK with up to two to three press releases a week, and you might as well take the time to optimize them.

SEO Marketing Channel

SEO is the marketing channel that brings potential customers to your site who want what you offer, but don't know how to find you. These are people that will browse through the search engine listings of websites that show up for the product or service they're looking for, and choose one to purchase from. If your site only shows up for your brand name, you're not even in the game; the sale will likely go to one of your competitors who have an optimized website.

If you only want to serve the needs of people who already know your brand and aren't interested in new customers, then you don't need SEO. But if you want to use every marketing channel at your disposal, SEO is one of the most cost-effective marketing channels to bring in people who don't already know about you but want exactly what you offer.

A Search Eulogy For Yahoo

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 07:35:17 GMT

SEO Chatter Eulogy For Yahoo

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online, Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs. For a Free Web Site Evaluation Visit Here

A Search Eulogy For Yahoo And then there were two.

Make no mistake, Yahoo’s out of the search game. I know the spin. Better user interface, new ways to innovate, a winning play. Let’s not kid ourselves. They’re done. Not today, not necessarily in a year, but down the line at some point. Done, as reported by Danny Sullivan

And it’s sad, because they were one of the originals. There was a time when the mighty Yahoo roared above all other search engines. When people were so worried about being listed in Yahoo that they pondered lawsuits over the issue, because not being in Yahoo was like not being on the internet at all.

Sound familiar? Yeah, Yahoo was the Google of its day. Funny to write that — it should be Google is the Yahoo of its day, but that’s how the tables turned in the search space.

Yahoo started out in search as a human-compiled directory. Editors, finding sites, writing short descriptions about them. It worked at first. When it didn’t, Yahoo had partners that “crawled” the web automatically to provide “backup” to its directory results. Open Text was its first partner. Later came AltaVista, then Inktomi, then eventually Google.

Ah, Google. It demonstrated that you could index millions (now billions) of pages AND have relevancy. Why use a card catalog-like human directory when you had a tool like Google that could read every page in every book in the library and pull back the matching pages?

Eventually, Yahoo decided it needed to own crawler technology. In 2003, it bought Inktomi and AllTheWeb. It also bought Overture, to have paid search technology and got AltaVista as part of the deal. All these things it needed to own, we were told, because search was so essential that you couldn’t outsource:

Given how important search is to our businesses, we really needed to control our own destiny in this space and not be dependent on any one third-party provider

That’s what I was told at the beginning of 2003 by Jeff Weiner, then senior vice president of search and marketplace at Yahoo. What’s changed since then? How did search go back to being a commodity to Yahoo?

Microsoft squeezed it. No blame to Microsoft. Yahoo was sitting there with leadership that couldn’t communicate clearly how it was a strong second-place player to Google. It seemed weak, ripe for the picking, and Microsoft went to pluck it last year. Google tried for Yahoo itself through a partnership deal. The US Department of Justice, like Amy Winehouse, sang “No, no, no.” Do that, and we’ll take anti-trust action against you, Google.

Microsoft never went away, though to its credit, it continued to improve its own search offering making it even more credible. Bing’s a long way from being proven. Perhaps it might never have succeeded. But it got buzz. Not only was it not embarrassing, it was impressive to some. Yahoo didn’t seem as necessary to Microsoft’s plans.

We’ll never know if Bing could have succeeded on its own. Or, maybe we will, if the proposed deal doesn’t go through. It’s still just a proposal, subject to investor and regulatory approval. But if it does go through, Microsoft becomes the number two search player. It controls the core search technology. Yahoo will have “parity” with Microsoft to use the search technology, we’re told. Soothing-sounding words, but parity doesn’t matter when Yahoo seemingly has given up on search as a top attraction overall.

Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz has made plenty of noise about how Yahoo isn’t just a search engine. Or not even a search engine, at times. How Yahoo has some of the web’s top destinations. That’s true, all true. But search was a leading property as well, for Yahoo. Yahoo wouldn’t consider outsourcing its email or IM services. Wouldn’t decide that its Yahoo Finance area could be powered by someone else. So why’s search got the boot?

Because Microsoft wants it, and they weren’t going away. Neither was Bartz standing up to definitively say that in the long term, it made more sense for Yahoo to keep search as a core technology. That few companies had such crown jewels. That technology alone a year ago worth $1 billion to Microsoft didn’t suddenly become worth no upfront payment a year later.

But also because Yahoo seems to have no choice. It keeps losing talent. It’s fine to have a great machine, but someone’s got to run it — keep developing it. So if I sound harsh about Yahoo getting out of search, I’m also understanding. It would have been incredibly difficult to keep it.

AOL and Lycos are two examples of portals that gave up their own search technologies and watched their traffic drop. Perhaps Yahoo will be the exception. Perhaps it will surprise me and be a long-time search player — a place where substantial amounts of searches happen. Part of me hopes it plays out that way, if only for nostalgic reasons.

But I doubt it.

More Americans Online because of Recession

Recession Sends More and More Americans Online

The recession has affected Americans in many ways, forcing people to cut back on their spending and in some cases, out of their homes. According to a new study, it seems that more and more U.S. residents are heading online in search of solutions to their financial woes states Brandon Dimmel.

In the past, community leaders and social workers were relied upon by Americans looking for help during tough economic times. However, today there's an easier way to consult experts for assistance.

Americans Hope for Quicker Solutions Online

A recent study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that most Americans have ventured online to get help with their economic problems. In fact, the study estimates an astounding 88 per cent of all American Internet users have employed the web in order to research the recession and solutions of their own financial concerns. (Source: Internetnews.com)

Pew director and report co-author Lee Rainie believes the results reveal Americans' desire to get the information they need to help get through this difficult period. "People are anxious about these hard times," said Rainie. "They are more information-hungry than in normal times." (Source: reuters.com)

Web Used as Multi-Purpose Tool

The unemployment rate continued to grow last month, hitting 9.5 per cent across the U.S. With more people out of work, the Internet has received increased traffic with people both searching for solutions and creating their own blogs to help resolve the problem.

However, the web isn't just being used to search for jobs or financial advice. Many Americans are using it to research products they might have otherwise purchased more impulsively.

And that means several things: for one, there is a greater market than ever before for sites dedicated to protecting and educating the average consumer. However, it could also mean more Americans vulnerable to Internet predators. The challenge for security experts will be to keep the sharks at bay with more fish in the sea than ever before.

What do we Mean by Keywords, and Why do They Matter?

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 06:24:01 GMT

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online, Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs. For a Free Web Site Evaluation Visit Here

What do we Mean by Keywords, and Why do They Matter?

Keywords are the foundation of any Search Engine Optimization or Search Marketing campaign. If you don’t know what keywords are being used in searches by the people you want to attract to your Web site, you can’t effectively market through the search engines to those people.

The terms keyword is often used as shorthand for keyword phrase. When we use the term keyword, we mean the word—or words—that may be typed into a search engine by someone carrying out a search. In fact most searches these days are not single-word searches … most searchers now type two or more words in their searches.

If you’re reading this, you probably already understand why you need to know the keywords people use when searching for products or services such as those promoted by your Web site. Just in case …

• If you don’t know the keywords, you can’t optimize your Web site properly.
• If you don’t know the keywords, you don’t know what keywords to put in links pointing to your site.
• If you don’t know the keywords, you don’t know which keywords to bid on in Pay Per Click programs.

Selecting keywords, then, is important. But there are two ways to select the keywords you need for your campaigns:
• Guess
• Do a full keyword analysis

The most popular method is to guess at the keywords. The most effective method, however, is to do a full keyword analysis (which actually begins with you guessing at what keywords you think are important, then using a free KeyWord tool to “dig” into databases of actual search terms).

What happens if you simply guess at the search terms you need, and don’t do a full keyword analysis? Typically two problems arise:

• Many of the keywords on your list will be more or less irrelevant. People simply aren’t using them in searches.
• You’ll miss keywords that people are using to search for your product or service.

What Does an SEO Specialist Do?

Essentially, a SEO Specialist does two things:

• Helps you develop a list of likely keyword phrases. SEO Specialist searches other Web site’s KEYWORDS tags and searches a thesaurus, to help you create a preliminary list of keyword phrases.

• Based on these keyword phrases, it shows you what people using the Web’s search engines are actually typing into the search engines.

How to accept credit cards for small business

Tue, 19 May 2009 15:44:07 GMT

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online, Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs. For a Free Web Site Evaluation Visit Here

How to accept credit cards for small business

The benefits of accepting credit cards almost always outweigh the risks, and the chances of this are greatly improved if you do your homework before opening a merchant account. In this article I’ll talk about the importance of accepting credit cards, what to expect as you compare merchant accounts and how to keep your merchant account in good standing once you begin processing.

Convincing a business owner that they need to start accepting credit cards isn’t as tough as it once was and it’s getting easier every day. Credit and debit cards are a staple in consumers’ wallets and the trend isn’t showing signs of letting up any time soon. For merchants, the ability to accept credit cards often translates to larger average tickets and greater gross monthly sales volumes. Of course, along with the greater sales volume comes the expense of processing credit card transactions. Fortunately, profit from increased sales typically far outweighs processing costs.Here are a few helpful points that you should know before beginning your search for a merchant account.

Merchant account fees are not standardized

Merchant account Rates and fees vary widely from one provider to the next. Aside from the amount of fees charged, some accounts will have entire categories of fees that others won’t. As you being to research your options, look at every account as an individual.

Credit card processing rates and fees are not written in stone

Haggling is the name of the game when it comes to negotiating the best merchant account rates and fees. Consider the rates and fees of an initial merchant account quote as a starting point from which you can start to reducing costs.

There are a lot of providers competing for your business

Don’t begin and end your search at your local bank or even with the providers in your town. There are thousands of merchant service providers all competing for your business. Use this competition to your advantage to get the best rates possible. Consider using a web site like CardFellow.com to get quotes from multiple providers from a national market.

Once you begin contacting merchant service providers, you should expect to encounter some pretty good sales people that may employ high-pressure sales tactics. The key is to remain methodical in your search process and look at the facts surrounding an account, not the salesperson’s interpretation of them.

The best and truly knowledgeable salespeople will use the rates and fees of their merchant account quote to help portray the benefits of their offer. They’ll take the time to learn about your business, present calculations and estimations of processing expenses using an effective rate, and they’ll take the time to answer your questions in a consultative manner. These are the salespeople to look for, but not necessarily the ones to expect.

Once you decide upon a merchant account provider and start accepting credit cards, your education about credit card processing has just begun. Don’t look at the task as complete, but as just beginning. The bankcard industry is always changing and new regulations that affect you are commonly brought to legislative attention. The phrase “knowledge is power” translates to merchants in the bankcard industry as “knowledge is money.” The more you know about credit card processing, the more you will be able to save yourself in processing expenses.

Once you begin processing credit cards, frequent reliable and unbiased sources on the subject to keep yourself up to date about the industry and ways you can optimize your merchant account to lower costs. The best sources of merchant account information are the ones that aren’t trying selling you processing services.

A wealth of Information to help businesses that start accepting credit cards find the best merchant account is available at the MerchantCouncil.org.

Lou Veltri Veretraining Training Classes

The Veretekk Marketing System is the Premier online marketing system of all time. You are probably reading this because you have recognized that fact, joined Veretekk and have been taken part in the incredible array of training, both live and recorded that is available to you.

By the way, if you are not already a member of the Veretekk Marketing System you can join here, free of charge.

The focus of much of the training is towards using the fuctionality, "how to's" of the system. The basics of business and how they are interrelated with the Veretekk Marketing System is where I start my training.

One of the most valuable aspects of the Veretekk Marketing System is that is really helps you leverage your most valuale asset - your time. From the time you start to learn the tools that are at your fingertips you will be using your time very effectively. But there are some prerequisites that you must not overlook.

I have designed my training to address those prerequisites. Many of my customers have jumped into the Veretekk Marketing System and that is great. However, in order for you to be successful in building your business you must have a plan. No, not an idea that pops into your head one day. I'm talking about the plan that EVERY business owner must have in order to be successful.

Why do you want to start a business and what you should expect are the focus of my initial training session:

"Why and How To Start An Online Business" where we will answer the questions:

Why you might want your own business,
What do you have to do,
What should you expect,
Why your own business is an important goal.

And what about a goals? Do you have a goal and what are the objectives you need to reach in order to reach your goal? This is the focus of my second training session in this series, "Goals and Objectives - How they affect your business".

In this session we will cover what are goals and how do you build objectives to support them. Without goals and objectives you will not be able to evaluate, "track" your activities. And without tracking of your activities you will never be sure of where you will find yourself down the line.

Every business whether online, based at home, or the good old brick and mortar you have to find folks that are interested in your offering. That is where the Veretekk Marketing System comes in. Everyone is a suspect. We need to filter down to the prospects, build a relationship with them and convert them to a customer. By the way, the fouth stage of any relationship is when you and your customers a aligned closely as to be see as partners.

The next training session in this series is focused on: "Veretekk: your Business Development Toolkit".
From the business process of marketing, campaigns, advertising, reverse marketing and the like, we will tie these business processes to the parts of the Veretekk Marketing System that support them.

SEO is a procedure of placing researched keywords, that have a known searching audience, into various places on a Web page which are known to be given weight by the ranking systems and algorithms of Major Search Engines like Alta Vista, AOL Search, Ask Jeeves, Excite, Google, Inktomi, Lycos, MSN, Teoma and Yahoo.

A properly optimized Web site can go from search invisibility and zero rankings to top spots in these search engines, especially if optimization is combined with known off page ranking factors.

Submit Your Site Properly

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online, Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs. For a Free Web Site Evaluation Visit Here

Easy steps to submitting your website in the right category.

Submitting to the Open Directory Project:

Yes, the Open Directory Project is free, and yes, you can submit much more quickly. But the problem is there's no guarantee that your site will be listed. I've seen sites get into the Open Directory Project within a week or two of submission, and I've seen others that waited months without ever getting in. In addition, the submission forms sometimes don't seem to work! But don't give up. As I mentioned earlier on that, the Open Directory Project is very important. Here's how to submit:

1. Read the editor's guidelines at dmoz.org/guidelines/describing. html. If you know what guidelines the editors use, you may be able to avoid problems. It's hard to get into the directory, so you might as well give yourself the best chance of getting in.

2. Go to www.dmoz.org. The Open Directory Project home page appears.

3. Find a suitable category for your site.

4. Click the Suggest URL link at the top of the page.

5. Follow the (fairly simple) directions. Submitting to the Open Directory Project is much easier than doing so to Yahoo! Directory.

You simply enter your home page's URL, a short title, a 25-30- word description for the site, and your e-mail address. That's it. Then you wait.

But understand that the editors at DMOZ don't care about your site, they care about the directory; in fact, read the DMOZ forums at www.resource-zone. com and you'll find that the attitude tends to be "tells us about your site, then go away and forget about it."

There are all sorts of factors working against you:

- There are 8,000 editors managing over 700,000 categories.

- Many small directories may only be reviewed by an editor every six months . . . or far less frequently.

The editors regard a six-month wait, or longer, not particularly excessive.

- In some cases editors may even ignore submissions. As one editor explained, "there is no obligation to review them in any order nor is there a requirement to review them as a priority . . . some editors find it more productive to seek out sites on their own and rarely visit the suggested sites."

Search engine optimization could be a tiring task but with time it sure helps you get better traffic. For a Free Web Site Evaluation Visit Here

Search Engine Optimization, Website Development and Search Engine Spiders

Search Engine Optimization, Website Development and Search Engine Spiders

Do you have some experience with HTML and web site development, but haven't really gotten your feet wet with search engine optimization? Keep reading, because you're in luck. In this article we'll cover some of the more important aspects of SEO, focusing on the changes that you should find easiest to make to your web site. After you read this, you should know where to concentrate your efforts now and going forward.

HTML Tags and SEO

The <Title> tag is the most important part of the page. It is the tag that visitors see in search results, and it should contain your targeted keywords. The title tag can make your page rank or make it disappear from search results. Use this format for web page title tags:

Keywords | Website Name or Brand

It's okay to include only your keywords without the site name, especially if you aren't branding using other Internet marketing methods.

Your <h1> tag is very important. As with the web page title, you should include your targeted keywords in this tag.

Your <h2> tag is next in importance. You should put keyword variations in this tag It's okay to be more natural here.

Your <h3> is less important, but still very useful. Promote keyword variations or subheadings using the H3 tag. You can relax a bit with this one and mention keywords only once in a while.

Now that we've talked about the title tags, let's briefly touch on links so you can see one aspect of why getting the keywords in your title tag is important. An incoming link to your pages is typically formed like so:

Link: <a href ="http://www.site.com/page.htm" title="keyword">anchor text keywords</a>

It's very important to include targeted keywords in anchor text in inbound links. You should also use targeted keywords in internal links, including navigation. The search engines take strong notice of keywords in these positions.

This is true for links that are followed. But what about links that are designated nofollow? Many blogs and other sites make any links in comments automatically nofollow.

So, tell me, have you heard about Web 2.0? It’s a term you see applied to a lot of Web sites on the Internet these days, but today, I’m going to go a little more in depth about its meaning. Web 2.0 describes the changing trend in the use of the World Wide Web technology and Web design that aims to enhance creativity, communications, secure information sharing, collaboration and functionality of the Web.

Those Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development of Web communities, social networking sites (MySpace and Facebook), video sharing sites (YouTube), wikis (Wikipedia) and blogs (Blogger). Wow! You probably use Web 2.0 Web sites more than you thought, am I right? Well, let's learn even more about it!

A Web 2.0 Web site doesn’t have any technical specifications. It refers to the revolution of using the Internet as a platform. That is, using a Web site to perform a task instead of a program on an operating system. The 2.0 refers to a rebirth after the end of the 2001 dot com bubble, which I’m sure you heard about in one way or another.

Worst SEO Mistakes - Alt Tag Stuffing

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:19:35 GMT

Content Writers Professional SEO Consultants | SEO News Tricks SEO Campaign Management

This SEO update is brought to you by Jim Gras and the SEO Specialist Online, Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs. For a Free Web Site Evaluation Visit Here

Last time we talked about Worst SEO Mistakes, this time lets discuss Alt Tag Stuffing

ALT tags are designed for blind people. Alt tags should describe images, buttons, navigation and other site elements to make browsing easier for those who can't see. Some people stuff their keywords into ALT tags, in hopes of ranking better in search results. This doesn't work. If spotted, you'll be punished.

On top of being ineffective, it's a real hassle for blind people who have to listen to the BS webmasters stuff into these tags to manipulate search engines. Use alt tags for image descriptions, and don't worry about the keywords.

Comment Spam

There are several types of comment spam.

One type uses robots to put in generic BS comments and links back to their owner's site in hopes of getting more valuable inbound links. Google discovered this and doesn't count comment links anymore. Bloggers also use the nofollow tag, so it doesn't matter if there are links in comments.

Another way to spam comments is to leave generic comments like "I did an article about this too, come check it out" in hopes of driving traffic and subscriptions.

Blog comments are designed for discussion, so saying something useful without intent to get something back plays a lot better in the long term. You get respect and eventually the blogger becomes more interested in you. Then you get your link.

Forum Spam

Forum spam involves leaving forum messages disguised as editorials, but are nothing more than ads for a website.

This type of spam looks really nasty and irritates all forum users. Don't do it. If you want to drive visitors from forums, participate in discussions, offer advice and help everyone. You will gain respect and people will visit your site from the signature. This time however, instead of saying "who the hell is that guy?!" they will land on the home page wit the thought of "that guy is good, let's see what he's built here."

Reliance on Meta Tags

Meta tag's days are not over. Keyword meta tags do work. I would spend more than just a few minutes on keyword meta tags. The description meta tag, is very useful. It is the description that shows in search results, so make sure there are clear calls to action.

Submission to a Bunch of Social Media Sites

You've probably seen those one-vote articles sitting in no-man's-land with headlines like "New marketing methods" and "Super interactive website www.spamsite.com" Those are attempts by marketers to get diggs, reddits and other types of votes. Social media marketing is a craft of its own, and a link to a generic site doesn't do it. You can learn a great deal about social media marketing over at Sphinn.

Worst SEO Mistakes - Aggressive Search Engine Optimization Firms

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 13:53:21 GMT

Content Writers | Professional SEO Consultants | SEO News Tricks | SEO Campaign Management

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs. For a Free Web Site Evaluation Visit Here

Last time we talked about Worst SEO Mistakes, this time lets discuss aggressive search engine optimization firms

Aggressive may mean effective. All effective SEO firms buy links, meaning that most good SEOs are official black hats. Are you okay with the risks? Many effective firms actively use spam and other black hat methods to promote their clients. Greedy ones get burned. Those who are smart watch carefully and know when to pull back -- because there is no safety net. You should know if your SEO firm does black hat up front. Rewards are great, but so are the risks.

Automated Content Generation

Automated content generation involves a bot scraping the net, mixing articles and producing low value pages camouflaged as a web site. It's often part of the link farm an AdSense site.

Duplicate content detection has improved to the point that search engines will know in no time if you're spamming.

Frames

This is not spam, but a bad mistake, like building a Flash-based web site. Frames are hard to crawl for spiders; they have no unique URLs to link to and are horrible from a usability perspective. Sites that use frames lose on all fronts.

Cloaking

Cloaking still works if done correctly. Some good SEOs still use cloaking, but if you're new, stay away from it. Cloaking presents a normal page to visitors but a super-optimized page to search engine spiders.

Hidden Text

Hidden text involves stuffing keywords onto a page and making keywords the same color as the background. This is an absolutely pointless technique since search engines discount pages if they see keyword stuffing.

If you put legitimate text or an optimized article on your site as hidden text, just to make page look shorter, it still doesn't make sense. There are CSS "hide/show" tricks that can conceal text while being search engine friendly.

Keyword Stuffing

Keyword stuffing involves putting a bunch of keywords on a page simply to get higher rankings. It's pointless. Search engines can tell when you're using too many keywords for natural content, and your visitors will find keyword-stuffed content to be difficult to read.

Doorway Pages

Doorway pages are one-page websites optimized for a specific keyword and made with one purpose - to rank in the search results. All links on the "doorway" page lead to the real website, essentially acting as an entrance, hence the name "doorway page." Search engine do not like doorway pages, but they still work.

Worst SEO Mistakes

Content Writers Professional SEO Consultants | SEO News Tricks SEO Campaign Management

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs. For a Free Web Site Evaluation Visit Here

Worst SEO Mistakes

In this article we cover some of the worst SEO mistakes. Some of these will cause the search engines to ignore you; others will cause potential visitors to ignore you; still others may make your site disappear from the search engine results pages entirely.

We'll go over each practice and explain why you shouldn't do it. We'll even tell you what you should be doing.
Flash If you're making a new website and thinking of using Flash - stop. Though Adobe made Flash crawlable and shared technology with Google and Yahoo (leaving out Microsoft), Flash is still a bad choice.

If you don't show much content to the search engines, you will have to invest more in links. Not only does a Flash site cost more to make, but you'll need more money to optimize it. If there is no real reason to use Flash, don't. If you want cool movies and features, consider embedding Flash videos and using cool CSS styles.

No Use of Title Tags

The most powerful HTML tag you have at your disposal - Put keywords you target the page for into the tag. This is the part that shows up in search results as a big blue link, so make it count.

Another mistake webmasters make is to put something like "Welcome To...." in the title tag. Aaron Wall calls this "Welcome to low rankings."

Title Tag Duplication

Many designers create a site design without much regard for SEO, using one title tag for an entire website. Make sure to vary the title tags on your pages.

Messed up Robots.txt

It's a good idea to have a file to keep your error log clean of robot.txt requests, but if you can mess up a lot if you use it incorrectly. Here's how it looks, assuming you don't want to block ANY pages:

User-agent: *

Disallow:

Not Using Keywords in Internal Links and Navigation

Your internal onsite links have as much SEO weight as some outside links. If your home page has link authority, then links from your home page to internal pages pass pagerank in the same manner as outside sites pass pagerank to your home page.

By linking from your most powerful pages to internal pages with keyword-rich links, you're doing exactly the same thing as getting

keyword-rich inbound links from high PR pages.

To make the most use of link power, make sure that your navigation consists of keyword-rich, targeted descriptions. Do the same with keywords scattered within content. Don't worry about your footer; Google doesn't put much weight on those.

"Advertise with us as we get 1,000,000 hits each month." But do they really?

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 09:57:37 GMT

This is from Jim Gras at http://seo-specialist-online.com

You know, a week doesn't go by when an ad says, "Advertise with us as we get 1,000,000 hits each month." But do they really?

Probably not.

You see, a "hit" is an access request to a web server, not just a visitor. So, if a page has 99 tiny graphics which make up the web page, each view of that page registers as "100 hits". And if the visitor views 5 pages, that one visitor will register 500 hits on the site.

This is why advertisers LOVE to tell you about hits because they know you think that means people when it really doesn't.

Hits vs. Visitors: Getting a Real Count on Your Traffic

Ever see the claim "We get 80,000 hits a month" on a web site? Or the scrolling counter at the bottom of a page? What does it all mean and is it accurate? What is the difference between a hit and a visitor?

A "hit" is not a visitor to the web site, but a hit on the web server. A hit on the web server can be a graphic, java applet, the html file, etc. So, if a site has 79 small graphics on the page, every visitor to the site registers as 80 hits on the server (79 graphics plus the html file). In this case, 80,000 hits translates to just 1,000 visitors.

As webmasters, designers, business owners, SEOs, etc., we are not concerned with hits to a site. We want to know the number of visitors to our site. And we don't just want to know about every visitor--we want to know about every unique visitor. So if we can't count hits, can we use a counter?

The problem with using counters to track our visitors is they are set up to measure page views, not unique visitors. Everytime someone views your page, whether it's the first time or the twentieth, that visitor is counted. And if the page times out for some reason and they "Reload," it counts them again. And if someone just wants to have fun with your counter, they can exit and enter the site several times and are counted as a visitor each time--even if they never look at product.

So if you can't count hits and you can't use a counter, how do you track the traffic on your site? Use a web traffic analysis program. A web traffic analysis program will give you vital information about the traffic coming to your site, including where visitors are coming from, what paths your visitors are taking and which pages are the main exit points of your site.

Your web host should automatically provide you with a traffic analysis program, but there are a lot of programs to choose from.

Now that you understand the difference you can fire back at those advertisers and get the real truth about their traffic levels.

Popular SEO Myths

Content Writers Professional SEO Consultants | SEO News Tricks SEO Campaign Management

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs. For a Free Web Site Evaluation Visit Here

Popular SEO Myths

Search for the phrase “SEO myths” in Google (without quotes) and you’ll get 243,000 hits. With all the major search engines keeping their algorithms under lock and key, and making modifications without notice, it’s no wonder that false beliefs get perpetuated. It’s time to clear the air.

We published an article here on SEO Chat back in June 2007 about SEO myths. These things don’t seem to go away no matter how much you try to educate people. In fact, the search engines themselves contribute to their perpetuation in a sense. After all, they’re constantly tweaking their algorithms so the things that used to work simply don’t anymore – which leads to more myths when people stubbornly cling to old practices, or when a particular change makes it look like one thing is happening (i.e. a Google 30 penalty) when the actual cause is something completely different.

Many myths come from wishful thinking. My favorite along those lines is a variation of “if I just do X, I’ll score high in the search engines.” And “X” can be anything from get enough links, submit your site to enough directories, get the magic amount of keyword density – you name it. The truth is that SEO is a process with no real shortcuts, and no ONE thing will guarantee you a top position in the search engine results pages (SERPs).

Another form of “wishful thinking” myth states that “X is all-important,” where “X” can be PageRank, meta tags, or what have you. I won’t say that PageRank doesn’t matter; that’s another myth. But for most purposes it doesn’t. It really depends on what you’re trying to achieve. You can have a popular site and not have a PR of 10.

I expect this won’t be the last time we visit this topic. I’m including myths that are popular not only among practicing SEOs, but among some of the clients you might encounter. As you educate yourselves, you may also find that you need to educate your clients about actual SEO practices. The Ranked Hard comic strip that inspired this article makes that point very clearly. So without further ado, let’s bust some myths!

SEO is Smoke and Mirrors

Like the client in the Ranked Hard cartoon, you might encounter a prospective customer who tried to work with another SEO company that was secretive about its practices. Maybe they were told “our tactics are proprietary” or “what we do is far too complicated to explain.” Your prospect might even have been burned by this other company, so they may be leery about dealing with you.

Real SEO is not smoke and mirrors; it’s not a scam, and it’s not merely “a collection of tricks to fool search engines,” as Lee Odden points out in another article which debunked several SEO myths. But it’s easy to see why some people would believe that. There really are a lot of scammers out there who make incredible promises but use devious methods and care only about getting their victims’ money.

Speaking of incredible promises, let’s talk about another classic SEO myth inspired by scammers: an SEO can guarantee your placement at the top of the SERPs, thus eliminating the risk to your business. That’s hogwash; I’d use stronger language, but my boss would disapprove (especially if we start ranking for the term!). A firm that offers that kind of guarantee on your SEO is probably approaching it in a way that will harm your company.

Some companies that offer guarantees to get to the top of the SERPs will use keywords that no one else is using. So your site ends up ranking for less competitive keywords. In and of itself, this is not a bad thing, but if searchers aren’t using those keywords to find the kinds of products and services you offer, it’s pointless. If you sell raincoats in the US market, what good is it to hold a top-ranked position for “mackintosh” – unless you’re specifically selling to British expatriates living in the US?

Such firms may also use a limited selection of keywords for your website. That might work for a time, but using a greater diversity of keywords will put you in a better position the next time the search engines tweak their algorithm. Think of it as evolution in action.

Finally, another common trick for SEO companies that offer top placement guarantees shows up in the fine print of their contracts. Does it specifically say that they will use SEO to get there, or will they use pay-per-click? Just about anyone can get a top ad placement in Google if they’re willing to pay enough. But that’s probably not what you hired that SEO company for.

Adsense Targeting: Adsense For Context

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 06:51:40 GMT

Content Writers Professional SEO Consultants | SEO News Tricks SEO Campaign Management

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs. For a Free Web Site Evaluation Visit Here

This article originally intent was about explaining how advertisers can take advantage of Adsense to target specific sites. While researching this topic, however, I slammed the brakes on my theme. I noticed that Google seemed to be backing off from the "post your ad here" approach, which focused on the advertiser. You can still see that approach, but it is changing. Keep reading to find out how. Google is moving toward a method of displaying ad groups that are personalized based on a searcher's previous searches. With this discovery I am going to write this article in two sections (and hopefully one part).

The first section is going to focus on Adsense targeting from the advertiser's viewpoint. This approach, known as placement-targeted or site-targeted campaigns, allows an unprecedented level of customization and targeting by the advertiser. Not only can the advertiser target a particular website, but a particular page or a particular sub-group of pages can be targeted. We will look at how Google is allowing advertisers to pick sites from selected lists and how they set different bids for different sites.

The second section will look at how Google is remembering a searcher's previous activity and using this information in displaying Adsense results on web sites the user visits. Now Adsense is not only dependent upon the site's content, but also on the search behavior of the user, independent of cookies and even logging in -- though the user (or the computer) must have used the search engine at a prior time.

We will also quickly discuss whether, at the end of the day, any present advert placement application can realistically catch up with Google's Adsense in the next three to five years, or whether creators of such applications should simply seek another line of work -- social networking e-commerce centers, perhaps.

Adsense Targeting: Adsense For Context

Google advertisers can increase their click-through rates by creating placement (or site) targeted content campaigns, choosing to position their ads on specific sites. It's content control/placement on steroids. By picking selected sites and bidding, you can ensure that your ads get seen by a much wider audience; all this definitely changes the size of the budget, but that's why we pass on the cost of the advertising to the customer, eh?

It all started that way, and now you have site-targeted campaigns, consisting of ad groups that contain lists of Web sites, not just keywords. Placement-targeted ad groups can include all content ad types: text, static, and animated GIFs, even video with sizes ranging from skyscraper to banner to defined boxes. Advertisers can choose whether to be charged on every one thousand page impressions (CPM) or on a cost-per-click basis.

According to Google Adwords, advertisers can choose to display their ads on specific pages within a site, or even subsections of pages. For example, advertisers can choose to advertise on the New York Times Web site in the business, fashion, health, travel, or sports section.

Google's content group is huge and growing rapidly. Some say new sites are joining at the rate of at least 100,000 per month. Information on some of the top sites in the network can be found here. Almost every major media channel is represented, from leading magazine and newspaper publishers to television networks.

The ads are then placed with the sites you choose. This is a improvement on the normal placement process, which is stated by Google as Google continually scans the millions of pages from the content network to look for relevant matches with your keywords and other campaign data. When we find a match, your ad becomes eligible to run on that page. Google's extensive Web search and linguistic processing technology can decipher the meaning of virtually any content network page to ensure we're showing the most relevant ads.

Normally advertisers find which Web sites display Google AdWords content ads by using Google's placement tool, using a list of categories and keywords, and also listing specific URLs of sites, or by setting the desired user demographics. The tool digs into the pool of site publishers and lets you choose which sites will carry your ads.

As a quick rundown of what I have described in the last few paragraphs, here is what Google has to say, in brief. (This can be found here).

You can select sites for your placement-targeted campaign in two ways:

Name the sites where you'd like to advertise.

Give us a list of words that describe the type of site you're looking for.

A site must be part of the Google Network in order to be available for your placement-targeted campaign. A big advantage of winning a bid to place an ad could be that your ad could occupy the first four spaces, since you could stretch your ad to occupy four spaces. This is due to the expanded text ad specification of Adsense. If you specified that a strip of four AdWords ads should appear in a banner at the bottom of a page, placement-targeted ads will muscle the other ads off the ad unit and be displayed.

To optimize page titles keep it short. Search engines will show no more than 60 or 70 characters (including spaces) when they list your page in the SERPs. If you get any longer than that, they’ll cut it off.

- BUT What about Article Titles?

You can follow the same guidelines for your article titles. Or if you choose you can spice things up a little bit. Michael Gray wrote a very nice article on optimizing Wordpress page titles that talks about creating a page title and a post title at the same time, and explains why you might want to make the two different. He focuses strongly on keywords. Indeed, one of the reasons that you might want to make your article/post title different from your page title is that you can optimize for different keywords.

But there are other reasons you might want to make your article title different. In another article, Gray talks about Title Bait. He also includes several examples. I believe he intended them to work as both page titles and article titles. He wants searchers to see the title and feel almost compelled to click through to the article. Depending on the approach you take to page titles, however, you might prefer to limit these techniques to your article titles.

You can play on titillation to spice up an otherwise-bland topic. For example, when Gray wanted to point out that one prominent blogger was just two clicks away from adult content, what title did he use? Six Degrees of a Lesbian Porn Scraper. You have to admit, that gets attention.

You can also be controversial or, if it’s relevant, clearly show your readers that they’re about to encounter an entertaining rant. That’s the approach Gray took when he titled one article Yahoo: Yeah We Suck and We Don’t Give a Damn!

And you can always play the list card. Had I structured this article a little differently, I could have called it something like Ways to Optimize Your Page Titles.Somehow, we just can’t resist something that offers to sum up a complicated subject with just a few tips. Sometimes it doesn’t even have to be a few steps. And it doesn’t have to be a website either; there are books based on this idea. I was delighted to see, for example, that Amazon is currently selling a book titled The 100 Greatest Inventions of All Time. Why not take advantage of a marketing approach that’s as old as Moses?

For something a little more up-to-date, you can always mix some pop culture references into your title. Famous quotes or concepts work as well. How about The Silly String Theory of the Universe for an article on more technical uses for the toy (our military uses it to detect tripwires)? I admit I’m a little rusty at this; you can probably come up with much better ideas. Of course, you’ll have to rise to the challenge of being professional, informative, and humorous all at the same time, as Gray himself notes – but it can be done. Good luck!

Great Page Titles, Short and Sweet

Great Page Titles, Short and Sweet

Michael Nguyen, writing for Social Patterns, lists eleven rules for writing page titles. Aaron Wall also lists eleven, but they’re a slightly different set. Matt McGee, writing for Gooruze, lists six. Still, there are certain things that all three of them agree upon. Here they are, in no particular order.

First, keep it short. Search engines will show no more than 60 or 70 characters (including spaces) when they list your page in the SERPs. If you get any longer than that, they’ll cut it off.

Second, be accurate, relevant, and descriptive. Give both the search bot and the human searcher a good idea of what to expect of your page’s content. If possible, front-load your most important keyword, and avoid keyword stuffing.

Third, have a unique title for every page on your site. If you don’t, the search engines might think you’re displaying duplicate content, and that brings its own headaches. Your human visitors will also have a hard time telling the difference between your pages.

Fourth, write in plain English (or whatever language you’re using for your site’s content). Yes, it’s hard not to want to get fancy. As Graywolf pointed out in his SEO blog recently, “Spring Sunglass Trends in New York City” is simply not as entertaining a title as “Specs in the City.” And in that case, the title might work. But it’s too easy to get so clever that the meaning slips past your target audience. Remember, searchers aren’t reading page titles so much as skimming them, so you need to write a title that makes it clear from the get-go what the page is all about.

Fifth, don’t stuff your title with keywords. One at the beginning is fine. Likewise, don’t add unneeded words to your title. You might be surprised by how much you can cut. Nguyen used the following example: “Click here to go to my page” could be cut to simply “my page.”

Sixth, here’s a direct quote from Aaron Wall to give you a good idea of what a page title should do: Good titles evoke an emotional response, ask a question, or promise something (that the landing page fulfills). Next time, What about Article Titles?

Search engine optimization could be a tiring task but with time it sure helps you get better traffic.

Page Titles Make You a Star

Content Writers Professional SEO Consultants | SEO News Tricks SEO Campaign Management

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs. For a Free Web Site Evaluation Visit Here

Page titles get seen by the search engines first and the searchers second. Write a relevant page title and you have a much better chance of showing up for the right keywords in the search engine results pages (SERPs). Think of it as receiving a reward for helping the search engines figure out how to classify your page.

The searchers will see your page title after the search engines – but it’s often the first thing they will see about your site. They will probably choose whether or not to follow the link to your site based on your page title. So you have to please both a bot and a real human being. That’s reason enough to spend extra time on your title.

Searchers will bookmark your site if they like what they see. What’s the default text used for a bookmark? You guessed it: the page title. I admit, when I bookmark a page, I’ll change the text; I usually shorten it or make it more descriptive (or both). If you don’t force your visitors to take this extra step, you’ll put a smile on their faces. And consider this: if a visitor doesn’t change the bookmark and it’s not descriptive enough, he may forget why he bookmarked your site in the first place. That makes the bookmark kind of useless to both of you.

When someone is trying to find a site that they visited and liked but didn’t bookmark, they’re likely to check their browser history. Guess how web pages show up in a browser’s history? Give yourself a gold star if you said page titles. Guess what happens if your page title isn’t descriptive? It won’t stand out in a browser history list, and you’ll lose a return visit.

Does your site feature an RSS generator? If so, it probably turns your page titles into headlines. Those headlines entice subscribers to your feed to come visit your site and read the entire article. In other words, as I’ve been saying for the past three paragraphs, good page titles not only encourage first-time visitors to check you out; they also help you get repeat visits.

Finally, there’s the matter of links. Here I am talking about an on-page optimization factor, and now I’m dragging in links?! But that’s an off-page optimization issue, right? Well, not exactly. Sometimes on-page and off-page factors feed each other, and this is one example of that. As you saw when I mentioned bookmarks and browser history lists, when there’s a link involving a web page, the browser defaults to the page title.

So do a lot of people who link to your page. So when Jazzy Judy writes her blog entry about your music store and its incredible selection of jazz recordings going all the way back to George Gershwin and Louis Armstrong, her anchor text will be your page title. Anchor text is widely believed to play a prominent role in how Google decides whether a page is relevant for particular keywords. Next time I’ll explain Great Page Titles, Short and Sweet.

Search engine optimization could be a tiring task but with time it sure helps you get better traffic.

Optimize YOUR Page Title

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 08:03:21 GMT

Content Writers Professional SEO Consultants | SEO News Tricks SEO Campaign Management

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs.

Optimize YOUR Page Title

Please optimize YOUR page title! It’s so boring I’m sure you wouldn’t want to steal it. Seriously, in this article I’m going to explain what page titles are (as opposed to post titles or article titles) and how and why to optimize them.

Look at the top of your browser, above the address bar and the line of links labeled File, Edit, etc. Next to the symbol for the browser itself you’ll find a title. That is the page title. It should not be confused with the actual title of this article, even though the two read nearly the same.

In HTML, you specify a web page’s title in its title element. You use title tags, like so:

<title>This is a web page title</title>

With some content management or blogging systems, you can specify a title tag that is different from the title you give to the post or article on that page. You might find that very desirable for SEO purposes. Other CMS platforms might not have that functionality built in, but boast plug-ins that extend their native capabilities. For example, the popular blogging platform WordPress isn’t optimized for SEO.

You may want to optimize both your page title and your article/post title. Since the two have different purposes, you may even want to have two significantly different titles. There’s nothing wrong with that, as long as both of them are relevant. You may also choose to make your page title and your article/post title the same (or nearly so), as you’ll find I do on many of my pages. There’s nothing wrong with that, either.

But maybe you’re wondering why you should optimize your page title at all. Or perhaps you’ve put a few keywords into your title and you figure you’re done. Or maybe you came up with a page title that you believe is good enough to use on every page of your site. Next time I’ll explain why you want to optimize your page titles as soon as I stop cringing.

Search engine optimization could be a tiring task but with time it sure helps you get better traffic. Contact Jim Gras http://www.seo-specialist-online.com 800-897-6458 USA 44-2076-694183 LONDON, UK Skype: jamiboy for all your SEO needs. Visit More SEO Specialist Online info and links Here

Unique SEO Problems

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 07:30:11 GMT

Content Writers Professional SEO Consultants | SEO News Tricks | SEO Campaign Management

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs.

Unique SEO Problems

Some of the special issues that newcomers to SEO face. One of the biggest revolves around the fact that the Internet is global, but its dominant language is still English (though that might not be true for much longer). As a result, many site builders who may not be skilled in English feel compelled to work in that language. Poor English skills can inflict native as well as non-native speakers. But they can wreak havoc on your web site.

If your English is poor, build in your own language. At the very least, have your content written by someone fluent in the given language. Also, anyone writing copy needs to spell check and proofread for grammar. Nothing turns a web page from quality to garbage faster. I’ve encountered a number of sites with quality content tainted by poor use of the language; speaking as a visitor, it’s difficult to get past it when I see it. And speaking as a writer and editor, yes, it’s work, but it’s not as difficult as you might think, and the rewards are more than worth the effort.

Many newcomers to SEO see Google behave a certain way and think they have it figured out. That’s how stories like the 30-position penalty get started. So, Before releasing your unique brilliant findings about Google, do some research and save yourself some embarrassment.

Visitors, of course, are unique to every site, they can be tracked, and you can find ways to invite more of the same (or similar) to your site. Profile your target visitors. Know what they like and dislike, so you can make them welcome. Make that door a little bit wider.

While you spend your time building the best site you can and appealing to your target audience, stay away from black hat techniques or anything that produces short-term positive changes. As noted earlier, short cuts offer short-term results, and most of us are in this for the long haul. It’s like dieting, lasting results will only come from long term changes that take time to deliver their value.

That doesn’t mean you’re destined to face a long, lonely struggle with no rewards until you reach the top. Fighting for a #1 position often unwittingly wins you other prizes along the way. You might find that you’ve become an acknowledged expert in your field, and others want to interview you. You’re likely to make friends who give you good advice. You will almost certainly acquire new and useful skills. You may even gain a whole new perspective on what is important to you, the field, the future; take your pick.

Time and Patience

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 11:40:52 GMT

Content Writers Professional SEO Consultants | SEO News Tricks | SEO Campaign Management

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs.

SEO doesn’t come over night. Since you’re going to be working on something for quite a while before you see success, you should choose to build your site around a subject about which you’re passionate. If you do it right, you’ll be doing it for a long time, so it really should be something you love.

The road to the top, in SEO as in other things, is rarely smooth. “If your site is less than 6 months old, expect fluctuations and concentrate on solidifying your niche instead of watching every keyword movement.”

On the other hand, you shouldn’t wait too long before you do something. Inaction can be as bad as taking too hasty action. Overanalyzing, hesitation, and procrastination are an SEO’s worst enemies.

Time and Patience

So haste is an enemy of SEOs, but so is overanalyzing your results and procrastination. It's best to take your time, and make efficient, productive use of it. This comes from practice and to some extent from reading about SEO. I will admit that I have learned about 75 percent of what I know about SEO from reading about it and asking for advice in forums and SEO experts.

With all this emphasis on patience, and the conflicting desire for quick results, it can be tempting to cut corners or use short cuts. Don’t do it. Short cuts offer short-term results. That may be what you’re looking for, but many people want to gain enduring success, and short cuts won’t take you there.

So how do you win at SEO? The best way to gain ranking in Google’s organic search results: Write intriguing, insightful, unique, quality content and then promote that material to induce natural linking from relevant quality websites. That is why, you want to choose a topic about which you are passionate. It will bring out your best writing.

While there is no way around the idea of quality content, you have a lot of choices as to the topics on which you post – which means you don’t have to struggle against sites that seem to own the most general, common, desirable, and competitive keywords.

You can get just as much traffic from 100 noncompetitive keywords as you can from some single highly competitive keywords, and do not forget the long tail's.

Keep your visitors in mind. And if that means linking to a quality website that is related to yours, so be it. There are advantages to doing so: “The link will only create more value to your page by offering relevant options. The loss in traffic will be compensated by the rank adjustment caused by the increased value” in your web page. And for the visitors clicking around your site, it behooves you to Make it simple enough for a 6 year old to navigate through. They’re your primary audience.

Why Would I Visit Your Website Again?

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 08:01:05 GMT

SEO Specialist Online | Content Writers Professional SEO Consultants | SEO News Tricks | SEO Campaign Management

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs.

Why Would I Visit Your Website Again?

Ideally, of course, a visitor would return to your site because he or she had a good experience the first time. But there’s a lot more to getting repeat business than just making your customer happy; you have to give them a reason to come back. If you publish a blog or articles that help keep your visitors up to date on their field or area of interest, you give them incentive to return. You just have to make sure they know about this offering.

Blogs and articles aren’t the only reasons a visitor might return, as anyone who has participated in a forum could tell you. For example, I browse SEO Chat’s forums myself every week, and it seems like I always come across new insights on the field from our forum members. As many Web 2.0 sites have discovered, user-generated content from a good community can keep visitors coming back for more.

What if you’re simply an online retailer and all you do is sell products? Well, you can make it easier for customers to buy from you again by capturing their information – with their permission, of course. A regular newsletter lets you do this; you at least need their email address so you can send it to them. Make sure you respect your customers’ privacy; tell them exactly what you will be doing with their information, and keep credit card information especially secure.

You can improve your business this way. “Many would think if they offer a one time sale, the job is done. Opportunities are always missed out if you are not marketing on the back end for repeat business. Once you have earned someone’s trust enough for them to spend money with you, they are more likely to spend more money with you. Don’t leave it on the table!”

Answering these three “why” questions will clarify the purpose of your website. They will show you how visitors see your website. Once you understand this, you can make sure that your SEO strategy is consistent with this vision. If you want to redesign your website, these questions will help guide you to the most important factors to consider. Good luck!

Why Would I Stay at your site and Do Business with You?

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:06:55 GMT

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs.

Why Would I Stay and Do Business with You

While you’re still in the visitor frame of mind, think about this: does your site look like it belongs to the kind of business you’d want to patronize? First impressions matter; they’re frequently hard to shake. You may want to consider having your web site professionally designed. Who would want to do business with someone whose website looks like it was built by the owner’s 12-year-old nephew?

Whether it’s a brick-and-mortar company or an online retailer, customers prefer to do business with those they trust. If they don’t feel as if they can trust who they are dealing with, they will take their business elsewhere. For a brick-and-mortar company, even on a first look, there are certain cues (many of them subtle) that let a person know a company can be trusted. That’s every bit as true with a website; in some sense, it’s even more important to generate trust, since your visitor is not dealing with people face to face.

You might want to consider earning and adding appropriate seals to your website (i.e. BBB Online) to help make your visitors more comfortable. There are other strategies you can use as well. Contact SEO Specialist Online for all your SEO needs.

Once you get past the first impression, how easy is it to do business on your web site? Can a visitor find what brought them to the site fairly quickly? Think back to the previous blog post Why Would I Visit Your Web Site?. Everyone comes to your site for a reason; make it easy for them to find your articles, sign up for your newsletter, buy your product, or do whatever it was that made them click the link to your website.

To put this question another way, what do you want your visitors to do? Once you figure out the answer to that question, your job is to make it as easy as possible for them to do what you want them to do. If you’ve set up your site correctly and are sending the right messages, what YOU want them to do and what THEY want to do will be pretty close to the same thing.

Next time, we will look at Why Would I Visit Your Website Again?

Why Would I Visit Your Web Site?

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 08:18:59 GMT

SEO Specialist Online | Content Writers Professional SEO Consultants | SEO News Tricks | SEO Campaign Management

This SEO update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs.

Why Would I Visit Your Web Site?

Lately I’ve become rather fond of the idea of thinking like a visitor to attract visitors. So pretend, for a moment, that you’ve never heard of your company and you’re visiting your own website for the first time. Perhaps you came in through the search engines, or someone who knows your interests sent you the link, or you may even have read a story about the site in a blog. Why did you come here?

If you said “because I saw the link,” try again. Anyone who visits a web site is looking for something.

They want to buy a product, be entertained, solve a problem, get some information…you get the idea. So what do you offer your visitor?

You can see why you need to ask this question before you begin any SEO campaign. What you offer your visitor affects everything

from the keywords you choose to the structure of your site’s content to the methods you use to promote your web site. And by the way, the field you’re in may have less effect on how you answer this question than you think.

Does that sound a little crazy?

Let’s consider a fairly mundane field: plumbing.

Are you a plumber?

Do you sell tools and plumbing parts to professional plumbers, or do-it-yourselfers, or some combination?

Is your business a plumbing school?

Do you offer a newsletter to keep plumbing professionals up to date?

Do you sell books on plumbing?

Do you publish articles on plumbing?

Do you promote a convention for plumbers?

Do you publish a trade magazine for plumbers?

Are you running a website for a plumbers’ union?

You can see from this list that there are a ton of specialty interests just in the field of plumbing. Each of these different kinds of sites will want to attract a slightly different audience. And each person who visits a site might have a slightly different reason for doing so. They might even have drastically different reasons, to be honest.

While working on this update, for example, I ended up on the web pages of a large plumbing supplier. I clicked their FAQ; after scrolling down a bit, I saw links to some interesting-looking pages (a “fun quotes” page). When I got to the top of that page, I saw links to more fun plumbing pages – a list of plumbing jokes, various words of wisdom, a founder’s page, and so forth.

A plumber might visit this site to get a part – or a non-plumber might end up here to be entertained, because some of these pages come up for their own special keywords, like “plumber jokes.” The point is that you need to be clear and focus on why your visitors are coming to your site in order to give them what they're looking for. Or, put another way, you need to be clear about what you’re offering them so that they know what to expect when they get there.

What questions should I ask before I SEO my Site?

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 05:08:10 GMT

This SEO update is brought to you by Jim Gras the SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers for all your SEO needs.

Ask the Right Questions Before You SEO Your Site!

Every web site owner wants more traffic and higher rankings in the search engines. In the midst of an SEO campaign, however, it’s easy to lose sight of the forest for the trees. So before you change a single title, you might want to shift your focus to answer some important questions.

So what do I mean by losing sight of the forest for the trees anyway? You’ve probably heard that expression since you were a teenager at least. You may even know that it means focusing on the details to the point that you lose sight of the big picture – and with the amount of detail work that goes into a proper SEO project, that’s easy to do.

Changing the questions you ask can shift your focus back to that bigger picture. You need to know what the big picture is before you do any search engine optimization, or you’ll waste a substantial amount of effort. Fortunately, you may only need to change a few words in the questions you already ask. Ease off just a little on the “what” and “how” questions and start asking a few “why” questions. I’ll give examples in the sections that follow.

I expect many of you will look at these questions and think that they should be asked well before a site goes live, very early in the design process. That’s probably true. But it’s also true that web sites evolve over time, rather like people. They change, grow, and adapt to conditions in the marketplace. By the time a web site has been up for a couple of years (or even less), it might be a very different creature from what the site owner originally had in mind.

This kind of change is not a bad thing, per se. We all get a certain amount of satisfaction out of growing and tweaking our sites, and then watching what happens. If we’re not looking clearly at what the site is turning into, however, we can’t see what it needs.

Anthony Kirlew, who writes a blog called Old School SEO and has been in the search engine marketing business since 1999, wrote about these important questions recently. I’m not going to cover his fourth question – “how will they find our web site?” – because we all know the answer to that one: SEO, SEM, and maybe even SMO (social media optimization). Instead, we’ll look at a few “why” questions.

Next time, we will look at "Why Would I Visit Your Web Site"?

GoDaddy is Charging for Spam Complaints - Ouch!

This GoDaddy update is brought to you by SEO Specialist Online Professional SEO Consultant and Content Writers

Seems like the folks over at GoDaddy are charging their email marketing customers if they get spam complaints. Deliverability.com broke the news when they got an email with this information sent to them from a GoDaddy customer. GoDaddy will now charge customers $200 to "manage" their complaints. Even worse is that if the customer wants to then leave them and transfer their domains to another registrar they can't do it until they pay GoDaddy $75!

To cover all of their bases, it appears that if one of their customers uses an Email Service Provider outside of GoDaddy to advertise their GoDaddy-hosted site and they get complaints from one of their customer's recipients, they could be hit with a fine or other action.

Wow. Serious Email Service Providers (ESPs) usually do this as a service to customers and won't allow spammers to use their services. But let's face it, everyone gets a complaint now and then, even customers with best intentions. The difference is that serious ESPs want to help their customers learn best practices about email marketing and not turn complaints into a new revenue stream.

If you use GoDaddy to host your website be careful. And any time you're looking for a serious ESP, make sure you ask if they have a deliverability and abuse department - most serious ESPs do, looks like GoDaddy might not.

GoDaddy should stick to what they're good at, being a registrar. Leave the email marketing heavy-lifting to those who "want" to do it and help businesses grow.

Google has Banned My Website

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 06:41:47 GMT

It's simple... Are you asking Google to penalize your website?

I'm sure you're probably thinking; Well, of course not! Yet daily I see new people complaining in search engine optimization forums that their websites have been banned by Google and they "have no idea why".

These people claim they've done nothing wrong and are absolutely clueless as to why their site is no longer in Google.

What NOT to do when optimizing your onpage ranking factors

How do you know if you've been banned?

First let me show you how to see if you're clearly banned by Google. Often times people think they've been banned, when in reality they've just dropped in ranking and can't find their website. There are a couple of things you can do.

1.) Check Google's search results.
2.) View the Google toolbar.

Go to Google and enter your entire URL into Google's search box and click "search"

Google says there is no information available for this URL? This means that the URL is no longer in Google's database.If you enter a brand new website into Google, you'll always get this message until the website has been indexed or the website has been banned by Google for some reason.

Another way you can quickly see if your website has been banned is by Viewing the Google Toolbar. Download the Google Toolbar Visit Here http://toolbar.google.com

Once it's installed, simply visit your website. If the Google toolbar is completely gray, this means you have been banned by Google.

Ok, so now we know how to tell if our website has been banned. What can cause your website to get banned?

There are many onpage ranking factors AND offpage ranking factors that can cause Google to ban your website. Today, we'll focus on only the onpage things that can cause your site to get banned.

Before I begin, I want you to know that many websites still get away with doing some of these things. They DO NOT help your rankings and are simply a waste of time, so don't try them. Sooner or later Google will catch up to these websites and will remove them. It's just not worth the risk, when doing them doesn't help your ranking to begin with. Banned: * Note: Most SEOs call this "gray barred". Not Banned:

Hidden Text

Hidden Text is simply text that users can't see when they visit your webpage. Some webmasters will do this so that they can add keywords throughout their webpage without it interfering with what the visitors actually see. Yet, the search engines can still see hidden text.

For example, let's say you have a white background on your website. If you wanted to hide text, you would simply make the color of your text white (#FFFFFF) and users couldn't see it.

Alt image tag spamming

This is another way that people will try to cram keywords into their website, allowing search engines to see their keywords, but not allowing visitors to notice any difference in their website. The real purpose of an alt image tag is if a user visits your website and the graphic will not load, or is disabled by their web browser, text will appear instead of the graphic. This is often used for blind people.Alt image spamming is something you want to stay clear of. Using alt image tags are good, but you can overdo it.

Meta Tag Stuffing

What I'm referring to here is when people throw in thousands of the same exact keyword into their meta tags.

For example, the following website is trying to rank well for "tents".

This is obviously ridiculous. Google doesn't use Meta Tags when ranking websites. Google WILL penalize it, but it WILL NOT help you... so, why would anyone do something like this? Stay away from it.

Title Tag Stuffing

The title is what appears in the top left hand corner of your webpage. Below is an example of Title Tag Stuffing Don't do it...

You only need to include your keyword(s) one time in your title tag. Anymore than 1 time will only dilute the effect, and if you overdo it as shown above, you may get banned.

Those are just a few of the things that people are continuing to do online. These things WILL eventually get your website banned and WILL NOT help you rank well. It's just a waste of time and effort, plus just plain ignorant to waste your time on something that doesn't work and will get your website banned from the search engines.

Should I submit my website to the Search Engines?

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 06:29:28 GMT

Submitting your website to search engines does not get your webpage better ranking. That is a misconception about Search Engine Optimization that has been going around for quite sometime. It does no harm by submitting your site to them but it does no good as well.

Just submitting your site to the search engines doesn’t give you a good spot on their pages. In order to be eligible and indexed by search engine crawlers you need to optimize your site. By using a SEO Specialist you increase your chances because Search engine optimization is an on-going process.

You need to invest enough time to get the desired success. Compared to other forms online marketing, SEO offers higher return on investment (ROI). With the growing number of users relying on search engines to find their pages, it has become essential to optimize websites and make them search engine friendly. Here are few steps you need to follow for the search engine spiders to crawl and index your site.

1. Theme:
It is important to choose a theme for the pages of your website. Each page should be able to convey a message or fulfill a purpose.

2. Keywords Selection:
Choosing the right keywords is an important and crucial step of search engine optimization. You need to list the relevant and searched keywords and key phrases for each of the pages. Choosing the most competitive keywords can get really frustrating hence as a beginner you can focus on less competitive, yet searched words. You can make a list of relevant keywords and use tools like wordtracker and overture keyword analysis tool to know the search frequency.

3. Know your Competitors:
It is important to keep an eye on your competitors. You can study what keywords they are emphasizing on, know what websites are linking to them and where they rank. The less competition you have the better it is.

4. Optimize your Page Content with Phrases:
When you select the relevant keywords for your web page, you can rank them according to their importance. You can revise the existing pages and optimize your page content starting with your top key phrases. Optimizing your site includes alteration of the meta tags i.e. title, description, keywords, headings, image alt, link and the content of the site. You can also have robot.txt file to help the spiders to crawl the pages you want them to.

5. Linking Strategies:
As mentioned earlier link building is one of the important part of SEO. There are two linking strategies:

•Internal Linking: In your page content you can refer to other important pages of your website. You can make use of the keywords of the landing page for your hyperlink text. You can even use keywords in navigation structure.

•External Linking: You can build external links by various means. You can start your own blog or write articles so that other websites interested will link to you. You can ask other webpages to place your link on their websites for placing their link on your site. This is known as reciprocal linking. You can advertise your sites on directories like dmoz, yahoo directories etc. Getting backlinks from these popular sites will help you get better ranking. There are various other ways to increase your inbound links.

6. Traffic and Revenue Tracking:
After your website is optimized you need to track the sales and the traffic it is receiving. You need to focus more on traffic and revenue than the page ranking. There are many software which gives you the report on your revenues by keywords, search engine, advertising campaigns etc.

7. Analysis:
You need to analyze your website and make necessary changes. Search engines keep changing their algorithm, hence it is important you be updated and try the new marketing strategies. You also need to keep track of your rankings and re-optimize the pages if you need to. You can then wait for the results.

Search engine optimization could be a tiring task but with time it sure helps you get better traffic. Contact Jim Gras SEO Specialist Online 800-897-6458 USA 44-2076-694183 LONDON, UK Skype: jamiboy seospecialistonline@gmail.com for all your SEO needs.

The terms keyword is often used as shorthand for keyword phrase.

When we use the term keyword, we mean the word—or words—that may be typed into a search engine by someone carrying out a search.

In fact most searches these days are not single-word searches … most searchers now type two or more words in their searches.

• If you don’t know the keywords, you can’t optimize your Web site properly.

• If you don’t know the keywords, you don’t know what keywords to put in links pointing to your site.

What happens if you simply guess at the search terms you need, and don’t do a full keyword analysis? Typically two problems arise:

• Many of the keywords on your list will be more or less irrelevant. People simply aren’t using them in searches.

What do we Mean by Keywords, and Why do They Matter?

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:13:58 GMT

Keywords are the foundation of any Search Engine Optimization or Search Marketing campaign. If you don’t know what keywords are being used in searches by the people you want to attract to your Web site, you can’t effectively market through the search engines to those people.

Selecting keywords, then, is important. But there are two ways to select the keywords you need for your campaigns:
• Guess
• Do a full keyword analysis

The most popular method is to guess at the keywords. The most effective method, however, is to do a full keyword analysis (which actually begins with you guessing at what keywords you think are important, then using a free KeyWord tool to “dig” into databases of actual search terms).

What happens if you simply guess at the search terms you need, and don’t do a full keyword analysis? Typically two problems arise:

Not All Search Engine Optimization Specialist are equal

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 08:15:00 GMT

Search Engine Optimization is the process of improving your site’s ranking in search engines A professional Search Engine Optimization Specialist knows exactly what search engines look for when crawling websites and ranking pages. Working with a specialist will give your site a competitive advantage and increase targeted traffic through search engines and directories.

Accomplished SEO specialists have an indepth knowledge of how search engine spiders index HTML, and will spend a great deal of time on keyword research. The keyword research should be shared with you for your review, and the provider should work with you to incorporate the keywords into the page context and not just add the words in the metatags section. In addition, the specialist should hold frequent update meetings with you to review your site's current ranking and provide recommendations to increase your site's ranking.

Strategies:Reputable providers will educate you on the difference between search engines (ex. Google) and directories (ex. Yahoo).If an SEO provider describes Yahoo as a search engine, keep looking for someone else. In addition, the SEO provider should have two separate promotion strategies for each: one for the search engines and one for the directories.

Until relatively recently, title tags and metatags with relevant keywords gave decent rankings. However, after years of tag misuse, search engines now attach more importance to:
· Page content
· Site design (for example, spiders do not process JavaScript or images)
· Incoming links and authoritative status of referring sites

Ethical Behavior, Software and Blacklisting:Search engines want to ensure that the indexed page is the page the user will visit.

Unfortunately, programmers violate this principle by utilizing several techniques such as:

· Writing a cloaked page that is invisible to the user. This artificially boosts rankings by detecting and re-directing search engine spiders. Google will blacklist sites identified using this technique.

· Creating doorway and bridge pages that work the same way as cloaked pages, but are stored on external servers.
· Hosting gateways which re-direct users to a different website. This can indicate the use of software to generate highranking
gateways; this is considered spamming and frowned upon.
· Stuffing keywords on a page by repeating the words several times in a row, using invisible text, or text so small that it is barely legible.

SEO should be incorporated early in site design and not as an afterthought. Incorporating SEO early will save you time and money before the site goes live and is first submitted to search engines and directories.

What kinds of practices are considered best? Relevant key word rich content at a desired density, inbound links, article directory content, blog links and other honest practices can create real traffic generation into your website that can translate to subscribers, visitors and sales.

You need to know about changes in technology!

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 06:37:01 GMT

SEO or search engine optimization is a fast moving game and getting more competitive every day due to the huge volume of information on the Internet. Algorithm technology is changing constantly. Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft Live have never been more different regarding what it takes to earn top ranking results. How do you know what to do?

Most SEO experts keep up with the changes in technology, they do optimization every day. If you are a web owner or webmaster trying to do your own optimization, the chances of getting it right without being in the know are pretty dicey?

That's why you need to know about our information and consulting services:

Here are some of the things that I have tested in regards to SEO methodologies and how they can help you right now:

What are the RIGHT strategies for Affiliate Marketing, so you avoid key mistakes?
How your current keyword strategy is hurting your business.
Is the Title Tag still as effective for SEO?
If you are in Google Supplemental Hell, my methods can help you get out.
Do paid links really get your site banned or penalized?
What are the best methods for link building?
How can a merchant recruit top affiliates and keep them?

But SEO information isn't enough.

Often, business owners have other forces working against them, keeping them from success.

Themselves.

Is your site is being found in Google?

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 07:23:30 GMT

Are you confident that your site is being found in the major search engines and directories? You probably know that search engine and directory searches account for 80 % of Internet traffic. Booz-Allen, a leading strategic management and consulting firm, say that less than 10% of websites are found using search engines or directory searches because 95% of all the websites out there are not properly optimized.

An increasing number of businesses are incorporating Search Engine Optimization (SEO) into their marketing strategy to ensure that the site, into which they invested a significant amount of money, receives high ranking in search engines and is prominently visible to potential customers.

SEO is the skillful art of placing researched keywords, that have a known searching audience, into various places on a Web page which are known to be given weight by the ranking systems and algorithms of Major Search Engines like Google, Alta Vista, AOL Search, Ask Jeeves, Excite, Inktomi, Lycos, MSN, Teoma and Yahoo.

A properly optimized Web Site can take you from search invisibility and zero rankings to top spots in these search engines, especially if optimization is combined with known off page ranking factors.

It is estimated that less than two percent of the commercial Web sites on the Internet have had any optimization for search engines. Those who act now, with decisiveness and confidence will lead their competition for the rest of this decade, while their competitors catch on and try to catch up.

What is Your Keyword Market?

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 05:13:34 GMT

A Keyword Market is the total number of unique searches on the Internet that are relevant to your website. A Keyword Market is defined by the top-level or root keyword that is generally most relevant to your business. If you own a shoe store, "shoes" might be the top-level keyword for your market. "Shoes" of course is very general since there are many kinds of shoes for men and women. Top-level keywords may contain thousands of vertical keyword markets. Initial analysis on "shoes" will produce hundreds of verticals (running shoes, nike shoes, bridal shoes, golf shoes, etc.)

Understanding Your Keyword Market

Selecting the right keywords and phrases is critical to the success of any search engine marketing campaign. A thorough analysis of your keyword market(s) will ensure proper keyword selection. It is important to make an evaluation of how popular a keyword is (i.e. how many times is a keyword predicted to be searched in a 24 hour period) and how it's popularity compares with the total number of competing URLs (other sites that are returned by the search engines for the same keyword searches). An analysis of this relationship will tell you where it is smart to optimize and where it is foolish. The results of this analysis is cross referenced with your website content to determine the right page selections for optimization. Too often, web developers simply implement a client's wishes without addressing the limitations and problems that come with that solution. Ethical and knowledgeable web developers can explain why you want the opinion of an SEO Specialist.

Jim Gras would like to ask you a question.

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 06:54:48 GMT

SEO Specialist Online with Jim Gras would like to ask you a question. Are you saving money or Are You Wasting Money By Paying Your Web Designer for SEO?

Web site designers know that keeping the client happy is the most important thing; however, this approach often backfires when one of the client’s goals is to gain top search engine rankings. Good SEO web site design delivers a beautiful and functional website, a pleasant experience for those who use it, and a search engine-friendly design. But what happens when a web designer has a client who wants esthetics or navigation that takes away from the site’s ability to gain top search engine rankings? Do web developers go along with their client’s wishes at the expense of search engine rankings, or do they politely guide the client toward achieving all of their goals? I think you know the answer.

The biggest difference between web designers and SEO Specialist is what motivates them: creativity versus strategic thinking.

A web designer is ultimately motivated by making a website look good to the client, thus satisfying them visually. An SEO Specialist is ultimately motivated to gain top search engine rankings for competitive keywords, thus gaining visibility. More business owners are now waking up to the fact that web designers are more artists than online marketers. So it is vital to have the SEO Specialist and web designer work together cooperatively on web site design.

"We do search engine optimization, too."

Often, a web site design company does a few aspects of search engine optimization but does not really do what it takes to gain top rankings. Companies can get roped in on this claim because a firm does a great job at web site design or because the client has “one-stop shop” syndrome, and so assumes a design firm is equally skilled as SEO Specialist.

Most web developers do not consider the implications of search engine optimization during the design phase. For example, to gain top rankings for competitive keywords requires outranking hundreds or even thousands of other websites that have already been optimized for that keyword. Simply updating the meta tags will rank the site at the bottom of the "optimized" heap and will require ongoing work to gain a top ranking.

The client wants to keep costs down, so the web developer compromises the SEO to stay within budget. The client needs to know from his advisors (designers and SEO Specialist) what is and is not practical, so he can reassess the budget and design based on information supplied by an SEO Specialist. Because budget is important, developers often shortcut past this advisory checkpoint - at the expense of gaining top rankings for the client's site.

It's important to find a good web developer who will listen to your requests, and who also will advise you on the best way to implement the design and SEO. He needs to talk realistically with you if the amount of work involved is not within your budget. Too often, web developers simply implement a client's wishes without addressing the limitations and problems that come with that solution. Ethical and knowledgeable web developers can explain why you want the opinion of an SEO Specialist.

It's a perfect storm for you

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:13:43 GMT

I usually reserve this kind of post for my affiliates, but decided to include everyone on today’s message because it’s such a great opportunity…

We’ve all seen the headlines continue to rack-up over the past few months about the horrendous state of the economy.

Just browse through the news today and you’ll find the following…

“Inflation survival guide”
“Crude rises in volatile trading”
“Oil speculation in House crosshairs”
“Cite midway through 6,500 job cuts”
“Gas prices up a dime in two weeks”
“Stagflation still threatens US economy”
“Wall Street braces for more layoffs”
“Britain sounds the alarm on inflation”

Makes you want to hide your head under a rock doesn’t it!?

Well there’s a silver lining to every cloud, and new opportunity with every pink-slip… It just depends on how you look at things.

Obviously people are looking to do two things right now… Save money, or make more of it.

It's no big secret that in order to get a top search engine ranking, you need other websites to link to your website. And depending on what keywords you're trying to rank well for, you may need hundreds, to thousands of links to crack the top 10 in the major search engine (Google, Yahoo, and MSN).

For example, the #1 ranked website on Google for the search term "web hosting" has well over 15 million websites linking to them!

That's right... I said 15 million other websites! I know what you're thinking. "Web hosting" is a very competitive search term. I wouldn't need that many links to get a top ranking... And you're right. You wouldn't. In most cases, you could get a top ranking with as little as a few hundreds links.

But... what I can tell you is that if you have zero websites linking to you, you will have zero ranking in the search engines. So, how do you get around this? Easy, you find as many websites to exchange links with as possible, or your site can be added to my Veretekk Platinum linking system and create thousands of links over night.

The more websites you can get to link to your website, the higher you will rank in the search engines, guaranteed!

These top ranked websites know this and they will do any and everything humanly possible to get other websites to link to them. Because a higher ranking means a BIGGER pay day!

Why doesn't everyone and their brother trade links if it gets you top rankings?

The answer is simple. It takes an awful lot of time and work to manually exchange links with other websites. Even if you're using the Link Metro directory. That's why subscribing to my system just makes sense. For more information please respond to me at this email address Click Here

Until next time,

"Why is Article Marketing so darn important in 2008" Part 2

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 07:38:28 GMT

If you want maximum results for your article marketing, you would be best served by adopting the following tactics:

Target the top article directories and go for a few quality links instead of hundreds of low-quality links. In other words, hit the top article directories and devote the rest of your time on the next couple of steps.

Find themed article directories / content sites that are related to the niche that your article addresses. For example, if you write about CSS, you would be looking for directories and websites that accept content on website development and more directly, website programming.

Use articles as link building tools - find high-ranking sites related to yours and instead of simply asking for links, pitch your article to them as an offer to their readers. If your article is engaging, fresh and unique, most websites will gladly publish it on their websites (or at least give you a reference link), leading to increased traffic as well as link popularity. There are a few more things that you can do to make sure you came out ahead of the search engines’ spam filters:

Avoiding Duplicate Content Penalties

Ideally, you shouldn’t publish articles that you submit on your own website – this “may” help you avoid the duplicate content penalty a bit. On the other hand, this does not address the concern that carbon copies of your article will suddenly pop up in hundreds of places on the Internet. To deal with this, you can use one or more of the following techniques:

Post the article on your website, and wait for it to be indexed by the major search engines before you submit it to the article directories. Post the full article on your website and submit “ half ” of it to the article directories (works best if you have a 1000 words+ article). Have your writer create a second, different version of the article. Then, you can submit that version to the directories while keeping the original on your site.

Deep Linking

Instead of just putting links to your main site page, link to a few inner pages of your site from within the article text. Of course, the inner pages must be relevant to the article topic. This will help spread the link popularity you receive throughout the site. Deep links are one of the ways search engines use to evaluate the value of links.

Themed Links

Use different articles for different purposes. For example, you could have one article promoting your main website, another promoting your new book (and linking to the order page), and yet another article linking to your newsletter signup page. The key is to remember that articles also mean traffic, and along with deep links, getting traffic to the key money-making areas of your site is very important.

Find Quality Article Sites

There are very few article directories (like Ezine Articles ) that have a stellar reputation within the search engines. Directories like Go Articles and ISnare are popular precisely because they themselves have managed to rank highly within the search engines.

The top ranked directories will not only get you the most link wealth but also the most traffic. However, don’t be satisfied with just hitting the general purpose article sites – make sure that you find sites within your niche that accept articles exclusively to the topic – if you can get links from within your own topical link neighbourhood, they will be worth much more than the links you get from the big article directories.

Lack of links to get the pages indexed quickly

This is another very common problem, but can be solved extremely easily. In order to get your pages indexed, you simply need links. The more links pointing to your website, the faster you will get indexed, period.

How can you get easy, fast links to your site? Go to LinkMetro.com and either sign up for a free account and manually exchange links with over 20,000 other websites listed in very tightly themed categories OR upgrade to an Advanced membership where you can get links even quicker and easier or contact me to see how you can be included into my Veretekk Platinum Marketing System for SEO Specialist Online

Whatever you decide. Go to LinkMetro.com and start getting links and I can guarantee that your pages will get indexed MUCH quicker than had you not done so.

Well, that wraps up the importance of article marketing for me today. I hope that this has taught you some new strategies for using articles as effective marketing tools for your online business and I will speak with you soon!

Until next Time

Very Best Regards,

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 05:38:37 GMT

If you follow the seo forums, you’ll notice that an old search engine marketing strategy is now suddenly everyone’s “seo strategy” of choice. Yes, I’m talking about article marketing .

I’ve often mentioned the benefits of article marketing, but with Google’s recent updates to its ranking algorithms, the topic merits a fresh look. With everyone even remotely interested in achieving decent search engine rankings turning to article marketing, it is critical for your website’s success that you fully understand what traditional article marketing is about and how you can benefit from it. Note that as search engines become smarter with reciprocal links, article marketing - especially the sort of marketing that guarantees good results - will require some expert knowledge.

Traditional article marketing works something like this:

You write (or pay someone to write it) a 600-word article, take out a list of 100-200 article directories, and submit your article to all of them (or you could hire someone to do that as well). In a week or so, your article is accepted and published by the article directories, not to mention thousands of websites who pick up articles from these directories.

Then, after a week or two of submitting the article, search engines pick it up and suddenly see hundreds, if not thousands, of new links to your site. Even if these are low-quality links in some cases (there are very few highly reputed article directories, and most of them are not themed), your rankings benefits thanks to the sheer number of links you’ve built. Over a period of time, after several article submissions, you notice an improvement in your search engine rankings at the next algorithm update. Yes, those links have made all the difference, and now your site is starting to get higher search engine placement.

By the looks of it, article marketing has everything search engines ask for – quality content, contextual links and even one-way links (as opposed to reciprocal links, which are less valuable).

However, to draw a parallel, just blindly submitting articles to hundreds of directories is like shooting in the dark - you’re essentially banking on getting tons of non-themed links in the hope that they will be enough to improve your rankings (you may get lucky now and then and have some big website in your niche pick up your article and run it).

Important: The reason I say that many of these article links are non-themed is because the search engines not only look at the page your link is located on, BUT also look at the “website” your link is located on. All of these article directories are probably not related to your website in theme.

If you are serious about your rankings, you’ll have to get your hands dirty and chase down the right links yourself (only at the beginning of course - as your site’s popularity increases, your articles will generate their own links and you will get requests from other websites requesting your permission to reprint your articles).

The case for adopting a personal approach to article marketing becomes air-tight if you consider the following:

Search engines are clamping down harder on duplicate content , using the “date of discovery” (when the SE spider first finds the content) and other factors to find out which article is original and which are “copies”.

Search engines are getting better at evaluating “ themed ” links – links from industry-related websites, with a greater emphasis on niche sites dealing with one or two themes rather than general purpose sites dealing with a large set of themes (like article directories).

Search engines already consider anchor text as vulnerable to spam, so if hundreds of links pointing to your site suddenly pop up (with the EXACT same anchor text), this would be a “red-flag” event.

In other words, while article submissions are excellent tools for gaining traffic and rankings, search engines are catching up to the fact that spammers may use “blind” submissions in order to artificially boost their link popularity, and are looking to implement filters that can catch spammers. This will not happen immediately and maybe not even in the next year, but as the search engine wars (between Google, Yahoo and the rest) heat up, search engines will get stricter in terms of what they allow to rank highly in their search results.

Note that when I say search engines, I’m really talking about Google (which current serves 40-50 percent of all search engine traffic). However, as article spam increases, the other search engines are bound to implement changes that will catch it as well.

That's all for now but next time we will discuss how to gain maximum results for your article marketing, The Right Way.

Until next Time

Hits vs. Visitors: Getting a Real Count on Your Traffic

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 09:34:13 GMT

You know, a week doesn't go by when an ad says, "Advertise with us as we get 1,000,000 hits each month." But do they really?

Probably not.

You see, a "hit" is an access request to a web server, not just a visitor. So, if a page has 99 tiny graphics which make up the web page, each view of that page registers as "100 hits". And if the visitor views 5 pages, that one visitor will register 500 hits on the site.

This is why advertisers LOVE to tell you about hits because they know you think that means people when it really doesn't.

Hits vs. Visitors: Getting a Real Count on Your Traffic

Ever see the claim "We get 80,000 hits a month" on a web site? Or the scrolling counter at the bottom of a page? What does it all mean and is it accurate? What is the difference between a hit and a visitor?

A "hit" is not a visitor to the web site, but a hit on the web server. A hit on the web server can be a graphic, java applet, the html file, etc. So, if a site has 79 small graphics on the page, every visitor to the site registers as 80 hits on the server (79 graphics plus the html file). In this case, 80,000 hits translates to just 1,000 visitors.

As webmasters, designers, business owners, SEOs, etc., we are not concerned with hits to a site. We want to know the number of visitors to our site. And we don't just want to know about every visitor--we want to know about every unique visitor. So if we can't count hits, can we use a counter?

The problem with using counters to track our visitors is they are set up to measure page views, not unique visitors. Everytime someone views your page, whether it's the first time or the twentieth, that visitor is counted. And if the page times out for some reason and they "Reload," it counts them again. And if someone just wants to have fun with your counter, they can exit and enter the site several times and are counted as a visitor each time--even if they never look at product.

So if you can't count hits and you can't use a counter, how do you track the traffic on your site? Use a web traffic analysis program. A web traffic analysis program will give you vital information about the traffic coming to your site, including where visitors are coming from, what paths your visitors are taking and which pages are the main exit points of your site.

Your web host should automatically provide you with a traffic analysis program, but there are a lot of programs to choose from.

Now that you understand the difference you can fire back at those advertisers and get the real truth about their traffic levels.

Until next Time

Very Best Regards,

Working from Paradise

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 11:26:53 GMT

So here we are in the Caribbean, on vacation. It is amazing that each day my businesses continue to market, sell, and grow. That is the real benefit of a Home Based Business.

Regardless of which type of home business you have it will continue to thrive while you are enjoying yourself. Well, maybe not completely alone.

You see I do get online while the family is still sleeping off the prior evenings party. About a hour each morning is all that is necessary for me to keep the engines stoked. Generating leads, answering questions and providing my "Support Lite" while away is quite enjoyable with a view of the beautiful Caribbean.

But even more, when folks ask what I do for a living they are full of questions about my home based businesses. I even picked up a couple that is interested in contracting me to help get them started.

I love Home Based Businesses.

What do you need to do business on the Internet?

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 10:43:06 GMT

Well, to most people this is a significant issue because there usually aren�t large budgets and/or time available. So at the very worst case it can be frustrating and it could negatively affect your motivation. And this is a major reason 97% of the folks trying to get a business running on the Internet fail.

My business is based upon the coach methodology. I have �been there, done that� and you can benefit from my experiences and knowledge. I have been deeply involved in setting up businesses on the internet as an advisor, mentor and coach for many years. It is not difficult. It is just impossible to sort though all of the information and hype that you will encounter while trying to understand what you need to do and effectively organize yourself to get it done.

So here is a simple checklist. First, you need to select a domain name, this is how people will find your site, you may have heard the term URL. Then you will need to decide how to get your site designed, built and put in operation. Speaking of operational sites, who will be your hosting company that is the company that will provide you with the server space to put your site on. Then how will you get your site designed and built? Template, custom or do it yourself? Just these three technical items can cost you a lot of time and money.

And, that was the easy part. How will you get your website known? How will you attract potential customers? What happens when they want to buy? How do you get paid? And how do you get the product to your customer?

All of this can be a bit daunting but only because you do not have a plan and no one that you trust to ask questions and get reliable answers to help you build a realistic plan.

Let me help you by being your Coach or by simply using me as your personal Mentor.

What is your time worth?

Fri, 30 May 2008 13:05:26 GMT

There are an awful lot of claims to make you wealthy overnight. The truth be known, only you can make you wealthy.

Today you probably work and get paid based on what your boss wants to pay you each hour that you work. Even if you are a salaried employee you are still getting paid based upon an hour rate. In fact, many people, maybe even you, are making less per hour than the hourly workers you know because of the time you are expected to put in. How often does a salaried employee work only 40 hours per week? How often does an hourly employee not get paid additional for overtime? See what I mean?

When you are in your own business you set your hourly rate. Another truth is that you can earn a much higher hourly rate when you work for yourself, especially if you leverage the internet to build and sustain your business. You see the internet is like an employee on steroids! It will continue to work when you are sleeping, spending time with the family, as well as when you are attending to your business.

So how can you best use your time to get your business started and on the road to success? You have to have a plan, time, and, of course, the drive to make it happen. Probably the most effective way to build your plan is to model your plan from one that is already successful. A Business Development Coach, like me, can shorten your time to get to your goals and objectives. This is also a great way to progress quickly as you are not spending a lot of time figuring out what to do next, you are learning from my experience, not trial and error, and you are acting on the plan . The result is that you will be working your plan much quicker.

Check out my $200 a day Bluepinrt. It will give the roadmap to get your business up and running quickly. You notice that I didn�t state a week or a couple of weeks or a month. That is because it does take time. So you need to get started sooner rather than later. Sure you can have me put it up for you quicker but what will you have learned, and how would you be able to work it if you do not understand it?

Even if you already have an online business you will find that the the free tools at Veretekk will help you promote the online part of your business quite effectively. It will help you find prospects, communicate with them and convert them to a customer.

Let me help you by being your coach or by simply using me as your personal Mentor.

The E-Mail report Detailing Benifits of the Veretekk System

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 00:49:27 GMT

Special Addition
The Email Report
Some facts about email systems. Veretekk's Veremail email systems are significantly different than any other email systems offered on the Internet. To illustrate this, we must break the system down into it's basic parts.

The database:
All email systems must have a database; otherwise you don't have anyone to send email to. But building that database is what clearly sets Veremail apart from all the rest. Let's illustrate this. With Veretekk you have many systems at work to build your list. Starting with the Traffic Portals, Veretekk owns over 40 (and always growing) unique domains that offer real services and systems for free in exchange for the subscribers name, address, phone number, some with survey results and double optin email addresses. These are real services, not just easily disseminated content.

Traffic Portals
What are real services? Real leads delivered from real lead systems that Veretekk owns. Everyday unique email leads, date, name and IP addresses. Real submission services that others charge $100 for on a per yearly basis. Real technology submitting your subscribers ads across the Internet with real results. Real state of the art Live Web based conference rooms. Also known as webinars, for free, that challenge brand name services with free access, excellent sound quality, excellent recording quality and superior support. Real state of the art PDF free Vacation coupons that really do deliver free 3 day vacation packages. The list continues with real software, real websites, real daily quotes, real stuff, not just some free report. Stuff people are looking for. Already turnkey and ready to go to work for you with little to no effort, that is turnkey, which means you start building your email list right out of the gate.

Your own capture pages
An important feature you also get submission forms that you can put right into your websites. These are often referred to as CAMPAIGNS, we call them GROUPS, many other companies limit how many campaigns you can have, we don't.. These forms are customized to redirect to any website you wish and send any set off custom autoresponders you build when the subscriber verifies from submitting your form. Your forms have many options depending on how much information you wish to collect.

Sequential email autoresponders
Once your subscriber has verified they begin receiving your campaign autoresponders and are also added to your email broadcasting control panel. This panel has all your leads organized according to what type of lead they are. Your GROUPS (campaigns) show up as Veremail Groups and categorized according to the name you labeled that group as. The email broadcasting control panel (Bully Pulpit) allows you to send email to your groups all or sub sets on a daily basis.

Database email uploads
You have the ability to upload as many email addresses into your system in sets up to 10,000 per upload. You have the choice to use 20 verification template emails for these uploads, and when that prospective owner of that email verifies, you have the choice to have the system send them a set or series of autoresponders you produced and�you can also set the system to redirect to any website you wish.
Since you also have an incoming email web mail system (yourname@veretekk.com) any email being sent to your email addresse(s) (You have the ability to make unlimited email addresses) also go to your own Veretekk POP account as well as your web based email account in the email broadcasting system (The Bully Pulpit).

Your own email account
When you sign up for an email account like Gmail, Yahoo, Live, etc. you are getting a web based email account and an email address like yourname@gmail.com, right? You all understand this I am sure.
If you have online access with someone like Comcast, you have an email address like yourname@comcast.com and it is accessed through your Outlook or Eudora email software and is reffered to as a POP account. I am making sense so far right?
If you sign up for an autoresponder system from anyone but Veretekk, you need an outside email like Gmail or your Comcast account and this makes no sense whatsoever if you give it some thought. There are solid reasons why your autoresponder system should be a complete turnkey system that includes your own email address both web based and POP account.

Total Integration
First of all it completes the circuit of your system. Everything in one place. Second it assures continuity in regards to good email practices and validity. When you sign up for Veretekk your Veremail email system is your email system, not a third party as a return address.
As Matt Keith of Global Distribution Network says, ""With any internet email responding system, there will be many individuals, companies and lists that your email will be placed on when responding to your own offers and newsletters. For most, this is an annoying part of the business and process, but you can turn this into an asset for yourself and your business. If someone is sending you an email for an offer of their own, then you can be sure that they are looking to build their list or their bottom line. If you set your email service and business up to "reverse market" to these individuals with your services, especially a service that generates leads like Veretekk, you can be sure to get a response back and you will begin to build leads from junk mail.""
Further Mo Youngs ads, "An email account with Gmail or hotmail now days sounds unsophisticated. Email that comes from a legitimate domain has more credibility particularly when it is integrated with marketing keywords that reflect the subject of the email."
Then there is the Spam complaint. If you are using an autoresponder system that utilizes a third party email like Aweber does ie: yourname@yahoo.com, then you loose! Your email account gets terminated, period. When you use a system that integrates their own mail servers to give you your own unique email address with a web based and POP email account that company bears the brunt of that complaint, defends against it and you win! Your email address is not terminated. Your service continues and you are exonerated.
Frank Marshal experienced this when his primary health related distributorship, without notice, terminated his affiliate position because of a spam complaint. However, the email message was delivered through Veretekk's mail servers and with Veretekk's validated mail search system, Veretekk was able to prove Frank was innocent and restore his health distributorship account back to normal.

No other autoresponder system can offer this. Only Veretekk does this.
Deliverability of the message.
When you are shopping for an autoresponder system, you want to make sure that system has a long term reputation on the Internet. That they utilize good email practices. That they are vigilant and communicate with the various policing systems like SpamCop and interact with all the top ISP services out there.
You want to make sure they have massive server redundancy so you can rest assured that the email is sending out quickly and effectively. To test this I use my own email server that has Spam Assassin but does not filter. You are welcome to use this address to test. The email address is [emailme@workfrom-homejob.com] the password is 12345.
Go ahead and use the email address to signup into one of your portals like http://davidc3.blastomatic.com
Then check for the email at http:mail2web.com. Enter the email address [emailme@workfrom-homejob.com] and password to receive the email. Use a timer. It will be less than a second for mail delivery. WARNING: Not all email systems are equal.
I have set up the Spam Assassin on this account to display the spam score for anything above 0.1. Anything below 5.0 usually gets delivered. Anything below 4.0 is considered good. Anything below 2.0 is considered excellent. Anything below 1.0 is perfection. You will see Veretekk email is in the excellent to perfection range.
View the source of the email and the content.
Here is a typical spam report for a Veretekk reply autoresponder
X-Spam-Report:
* 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message
* 0.0 MIME_HTML_ONLY BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts
* 0.5 HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG HTML-only message, but there is no HTML tag
*- 0.4 AWL AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list <--NOTE we are on white lists THIS IS GOOD
Here are a few other samples:
Notice no Spam alert and the large notices of leads coming into my account

This is a typical header showing no issues with the email

Veretekk email delivers without issue to Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail as these illustrations show:
Gmail:

Yahoo

Hotmail

Bottom line summary:
The deliverability of Veremail is consistent and trustworthy. All email that Veretekk/Veremail sends is validated to be verified. You will never fear losing your email account, your web pages or being left alone to defend yourself against false spam accusations, period. No other autoresponder offers you this protection or level of personal service.
Veretekk/Veremail's Spam Assassin rating is well below 2.o and is usually at ZERO. Veretekk remains vigilant in keeping in communication with the Spam associations out there as well as the major ISPs to assure that Veretekk's Veremail is always delivered.
Veretekk does not raise your cost depending on how big your database gets. One low cost is guaranteed regardless as to no matter how large your mailing lists gets. Can all the other autoresponder systems out there guarantee that? No!
Veretekk / Veremail allows unlimited email address database uploads for verification to build your lists. UNLIMITED! No other autoresponder system out there offers this unlimited service.

Comments:
An email account with Gmail or hotmail now a days sounds unsophisticated. Email that comes from a legitimate domain has more credibility particularly when it is integrated with marketing keywords that reflect the subject of the email. Now I use Veretekk!

Mo Youngs
About 4 years ago my ISP shut down my email account with out notice after receiving a false spam complaint. It took me two weeks to convince them that the person had subscribed to my mailing system Group mail 5 and all my email had a method of self-removal.
When my account was cleared they gave me a new email address but I never got access to my old email address, which was most inconvenient. Now I use Veretekk!

David Ogden
I was shut down by my ISP about 7 years ago - even though I considered my list to be 'clean'. more recently my current ISP stopped me sending emails via a proprietary email software I've been using for 9 years because they claimed the 600 + emails I sent "Slowed their system down". They still do not allow me to send by that method. Now I use Veretekk!

What is your Creed? By Tom Prendergast CEO Veretekk

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 01:46:36 GMT

What is your Creed?
Here is my creed: I believe in one God, the Creator of the universe. That he governs it by his providence. That he ought to be worshiped. That the most acceptable service we render to him is in doing good to his other children. That the soul of man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this. These I take to be fundamental points in all sound religion.
Do you know who wrote that? It is a quote from Benjamin Franklin and I am assuming you know who he is right? I am a fan of Benjamin Franklin among many other leaders in our country's history.
It is this core value that motivated the building of Veretekk and most recently the Platinum Control Panel and last weeks promotion.
The Platinum Control Panel Promotion was a stunning success. Being that Veretekk is a God inspired project, the many blessings and undeniable miracles that have brought Veretekk this far, it is not uncommon however it still amazes me when God reveals himself in my endeavors. Let me explain.
The current political environment we are experiencing is making it harder and harder on the entrepreneurial individual's ability to succeed and this concern should be every ones in Veretekk as I assume we are all in pursuit of financial success in the process of doing business. The same with the cultural war we are experiencing. These issues most recently inspired an emotional and provocative meeting several weeks ago.
I did not point to one or other political party, I indict both the parties. Basically I am telling everyone, as I believe it is my responsibility to be the watchmen (CEO and Founder) looking over my flock (Veretekk subscribers) that we have a government that is not representing you, the entrepreneurs, as I believe is one of my responsibilities and should be theirs!
I am well read and educated in the affairs of economics, government and politics. I am a very critical thinker. I listen to all sides. Ed Schultz. Randy Rhodes, Alan Combs, Hightower, etc. as well as Shaun Hannity, Glenn Beck, Mike Savage and Limbaugh. These are talk show hosts from the far left to the far right and places in the middle. I don't listen to them all the time, but often when driving.
I watch CNN, Fox, NBC and CBS. I read a ton of blogs across the spectrum.
I do not trust anyone news outlet as being un-slanted. I am after all a critical thinker. I do not like seeing America being divided against it's self.
I happened to read a lot too and bought the book Common Sense because I read the original (From 200 years ago) and Glenn Beck was inspired to write this one. It is a great book and I decided to work at getting it passed around. Interesting I had one subscriber quit because I mentioned his name. Come on folks, really? Is that what we are all about?
From the beginning of launching Veretekk I have never held back my spiritual beliefs in Jesus Christ and I have always been a strong supporter of individual rights, limited government and free enterprise. Why all of a sudden I have a small percentage of subscribers threatening me to quit or accusing me of ruining their business because I feel free to discuss current issues and events that include God and Country seems to me to be a sign of the times.
A few weeks ago after getting threats from some subscribers because I offer up prayer and mentioned Glenn Beck I spent several days in prayer. What was this all about? Should I avoid these political controversies? I spent several hours with my pastor discussing this. He said, let the Holy Spirit guide you and I did just that.
The Platinum Control panel promotion was the result of weeks of prayer. The Platinum Control Panel is the fulcrum of the coming Veretekk V2. As the project completed, I felt compelled to offer it up for one individual based on their written essay on why they deserved to have this gift. I was inspired to make this offer. In our meeting last week I went further and asked anyone that felt compelled to send me a Skype with a small request as to why they wanted the Plat Panel.
And there in lies why I am writing this article. I was overwhelmed with the out pouring of my subscribers as each one shared with me how Veretekk has changed their life, a few even went so far to claim that Veretekk actually saved their life. Everyone one of the stories left me with tears and overwhelming love for you my subscribers.
So I decided to give the Plat System to everyone that sent me a Skype and I cut it off at 25. Why I did not choose beyond that number was just intuition, nothing else. This group of 25 is now called The Platinum Warriors. Come meet them tonight.
Now here is the core of this story. It is called love. I prayed to my Lord to help me decide to move forward with Veretekk or not. It has been a long year of many trials. I was starting to think that maybe Veretekk was no longer a blessing to that many people. Man oh man was I wrong. Then this promotion idea came along and then being completely overwhelmed by the results convinced me that Veretekk is just getting started!
Oh and one more thing, Jesus is very much alive and well in my life and in Veretekk. The Platinum Warriors are at the core of Veretekk as people who embody Christ and true believers of the Veretekk mission. I did not plan it that way, but I think I know who did.
Veretekk is more than just a company or an opportunity. It is a mission built with a vision focused on freeing people from the bonds of limited thinking, under employed or poorly retired.
May you all be richly blessed and God bless all of you, every single one!

EZ Wealth Solution Pays Out 1 Million Dollars In Commissions!

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 01:57:32 GMT

EZ Wealth Solution Pays Out 1 Million Dollars In Commissions!

On Aug. 20, 2009 we witnessed a very rare accomplishment in this
industry! EZWealthSolution.com has just reached the One Million
Dollar Mark in Sales, and it also means they hit the One Million
Dollar Mark in Commissions Paid because EZ Wealth Solution
pays out a full 100% on all sales.

Less than 1% of Home Based Business Opportunities ever reach this
milestone because as most of us know they never seem to ever stick
around long enough or their compensation plan is not geared towards
their Associates but rather towards lining the pockets of the company
owners! With a 100% payout, there is no guessing who the EZ Wealth
Solution Compensation Plan is geared towards!

When asked why he was paying out a full 100%, Ron Walsh the CEO
& Founder of EZ Wealth Solution was quoted as saying;

"I just want to see people make money. I have been in this industry
for over 15 years and I know from experience, that most programs/
pay plans are not designed with the average person in mind. They
are designed to fill the pockets of the program owners."
"I got so tired of working programs that would last no more than 6
months or the pay plan was just another cookie-cutter script that
we�ve all seen fail time and time again. That�s why I stopped
working every program I was involved with, and in May of 2007 I
started putting EZ Wealth Solution together."

"I knew that I did not want to be like everyone else out there and
use one of those cookie-cutter scripts that was destined for failure
in 6 months to a year down the road, so I developed my own
proprietary pay plan, and I did it with my future Associates in mind."

"A lot of program owners say they want their people to make money,
but until they put their money where their mouth is, it�s just more hot
air, and people are getting tired of this. People just want a way to
make money online, and I just want to see people make money! This
is why EZ Wealth Solution with a 100% payout is the perfect match
for anyone wanting to make money online!"

"We have many Associates who are making $1,000 or more a month
starting their very first month! We have Associates who are making
$5,000 a month! We also have many hard working Associates who
have already or are on pace to make over $100,000 their first year
in the business, and all they ever have to pay in Admin Fees to the
company is $10 a month!"

"That�s all great, but what gives me the most satisfaction is when I
hear from someone who has lost thousands of dollars online, and
they are close to tears when they thank me for putting EZ Wealth
Solution together because this is the first time they have ever made
any money online. I have all I can do not to shed a few tears myself
when I hear such heart warming stories. It just makes me feel good
inside."

"I want everyone to know the first Million Dollars in pay outs is just
the beginning for EZ Wealth Solution because now I have set my
sights on 2 Million Dollars, and the second Million will come faster
that the first!"

"Back when I first launched EZ Wealth Solution in December of 2007,
I did a video telling people about my background in the industry, and
how I built websites and wrote conference calls for several different
online business opportunities that combined went on to do millions
of dollars in sales, and how I had taken all that knowledge and all that
experience and poured it into EZ Wealth Solution, and I said that the
Millions of dollars in sales that we will do will be paid to our EZ
Wealth Associates!"

"When I first did that video I�m sure there were people who said:
"Ya ya, I heard that story before." Well, I wonder what they are
saying today! But that�s alright, with all the false promises they�ve
been fed by other people in the past, they may have had good
reason to doubt this seemingly "New Kid on the Block" promising to
pay out Millions. I harbor no ill feelings towards anyone who doubted
me, they may have missed out on the first Million, but they are more
than welcome to join us as we go for the second Million in payouts,
and the third, and the fourth!"

"I know there will be Millions more paid out because we have the pay
plan to do it, and we have one of the lowest start up costs in the
industry if not the lowest start up cost for a "Top Tier Program". As I
just finished saying; the Admin Fee is just $10 a month, and with our
"Pay It Forward System" at Package Level # 1, your sponsor is going
to pay your way into Package Level # 1 (a $47 value), if you agree to
Pay It Forward for one other person."

"So technically, someone can get started for as little as $10, and only
after they find their first person will they have to Pay It Forward $47.
This really opens us up to a global market. We have Associates from
just about every country there is, some I�ve never heard of before,
and they can leverage their way through our 5 Package Levels
ranging in price from; $47, $97, $247, $497, & $997."

"Our 5 Product Packages consists of Digital and Software Products.
We have over 700 of them divided into 5 Packages, and they come
with complete Resale Rights, and some even have Master Resale
Rights where you can re-brand them with your name as though you
were the person who created that product. People can sell the
products individually on their own or they can sell them in Packages
through the EZ Wealth Pay Plan (that�s where the money is)!"

"We have made it really easy for people to sell the 5 Product
Packages through the EZ Wealth Pay Plan because when they pay
their $10 monthly Admin Fee we provide them with 3 professionally
built websites to market, a Member Center full of Advertising Tools
and Marketing Tips, Ad Tracking Software to track their online
advertising, a How It Works Video Presentation where I close their
sales for them, and we also have State-of-the-Art Tracking Software
to keep track of all their sales."

"Oh, did I mention that when someone makes a sale the company
does not handle the money! When a sale is made we simply connect
the Reseller with the Purchaser, and they work out a payment method
between themselves! This allows our Associates to get paid the very
same day they make a sale, and they get to keep 100% of the money!
How cool is that!"

The Little Guy and Gal, that is who we are. - Tom Prendergast

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 22:48:11 GMT

The Little Guy and Gal, that is who we are.
There are millions of us. We are taken for granted and blend into the fabric of our culture and life. Most of us want to raise our children well, pay our bills, make a better life for our family and have great hope for the future.
Greed is not often found in the hearts of the little guy and gal, but you will find charity in most of us. We are family oriented; most of us have children and some of us grand and great grand children. We as a whole want a world that is peaceful and prosperous so we may prosper.
Give us this day our daily bread is the prayer you will often hear among these masses.
The last two years We The People have been through tremendous hardships and financial struggles as we have watched our nation and around the world struggle with the results of greed within the systems. Greed kills and the average person, the little guy and gal are the usual victims of greed.
But this article is not about greed, it is about the undeniable spirit that is found in each and everyone of us. That spirit or calling waiting to be tapped and to reveal that greatness each and every one of you possess. This is the ultimate calling of what Veretekk is all about. Your success.
As we gather in the halls of Veretekk you will see greatness in many of her subscribers. You will notice many acts of kindness. Trainers that volunteer their time to help you succeed. Fellow members reaching out to help one another.
I am no different than you. I am of humble origin and have struggled most of my life to achieve any of the goals I have accomplished and that leads me to the purpose of this article.
About six months ago I found myself realizing that some of the core elements in Veretekk, mostly the email system, were not sufficient for the vision I have for Veretekk. The only part of Veretekk not built by Mike Darling and myself, the email system was failing to fulfill the dream. That dream being the launching of a new Veretekk look and process called V2, a more social networked and much more powerful automated marketing and SEO system all for the purpose of building you a system that would be instrumental in helping you achieve your dreams.
At that point I made the decision to stop all other work on Veretekk and get this core issue resolved even if it meant rebuilding the mail system from scratch.
At that time the Bully Pulpit broadcasting system only allowed you to email once a week. Now you can broadcast once a day. A major undertaking costing time and money to accomplish. At that time we had a database full of toxic email addresses from capturing all the incoming email. These databases dated back over 4 years. This issue has been eliminated. Now incoming email will forward to your POP account and will only be found in your Web based email Bully Pulpit broadcast system for 30 days. After that they get removed.
We have also opened up the Veremail email data uploads from one 10,000 list file to unlimited uploads. This also required new programming and is now processing quickly and efficiently.
We are also completing automation on removing, not blacklisting, all undeliverable email addresses from our databases. This is being done to speed up our systems and to make them friendly to the issues of email that is no longer relevant (email address come and go as we all know)
I put a halt on all other development within Veretekk until these new upgrades were installed and tested and found reliable. This has been achieved.
Now, I am doing this to deliver to you the best system to market online on the Internet. We have been building Veretekk for over 12 years now, and what is about to come in the next few months is going to make the last 12 years pale in comparison. We are also making the system so you can make more income as well. We are covering all the bases for you the little guy and gal.
Hey, I use Veretekk and tonight I am going to share some things with you that will show you how powerful Veretekk is and how we at Veretekk put your interests first, not ours.
We are here for you. I built Veretekk for the little guy and gal. We have kept our prices low and have consistently added value for your benefit over the past 12 years and we are dedicated to continue delivering the best value to you.

Marketing Tips from our Leader Harold Bryant

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 03:07:36 GMT

Pay close attention to the title of what your profession is. If you are a car salesman then the title itself tells you that you need to be good at "SELLING CARS" in order to make a good living at it. A company has hired you because of your experience. Perhaps if you had no experience or very little experience then they offered to TRAIN you.

My point here is... you NEED training to sell cars. That is the profession that you chose and you already knew that you had to either...

1. apply what you already knew about selling cars
2. LEARN how to sell cars properly if you had very little success with it in the past.

Now if your chosen profession is to be a "network marketer" because of the financial rewards, then you need to LEARN how to build "Networks" of friends while "Marketing".

Again...
Car salesman = Person who sells cars
Network Marketer = Person who builds NETWORKS of "friend" while MARKETING

Where so many people FAIL in network marketing, is when they try to MARKET with no consideration of building a NETWORK. My personal network consists of MANY people who I have done business with in the past, people that have responded to my ads and NEW people who I continue to meet on a daily basis here online. Just look around Team Precision. These are NETWORKS of people from my own advertising efforts AND from the efforts of others who have advertised and BUILT NETWORKS.

Are you building a NETWORK?
Are you staying in contact with your Network?
Can you honestly say that your network KNOWS you?

Our Drip Email system is just a small part of "staying in contact" with my network. My folks know who "Harold Bryant" is and what he does. My folks have spoken with me personally at least ONCE. Having people to know and trust you is very simple.

1. Establish yourself with them as a professional upon FIRST CONTACT
2. Pay more attention to THEIR needs rather than your own
3. Never try to SELL anything to your NETWORK unless they specifically ASK for it

So, Team... are you doing this? Sure, your "soon to be" NETWORK will first perhaps see your ad. That may have been what attracted them to you in the first place. But that doesn't mean that you should try to PUSH your business on them. Properly introduce yourself to them and they will LEARN to trust you in time... therefore leading them to want to know more about YOU and what YOU do.

Find out what their needs are and THEN you can let them see what it is that you do... if they have expressed an interest, of course.

You've heard, "Treat your business like a business", right? Well, wouldn't you take "learning how to sell cars" seriously if it was the PROFESSION that put food on the table? So why wouldn't you take "learning how to build NETWORKS through Marketing" seriously?

This is YOUR chosen profession, whether part time or full time. So make the best of it. There is NOTHING that you will ever do in life that will not be a "LEARNING EXPERIENCE". But if you're not willing to LEARN... then when & how will you ever get the EXPERIENCE??

Having the EXPERIENCE in whatever you do will lead you to earning MORE money than the average person in that same PROFESSION.

Earning money in Network Marketing is the simplest business I've ever done. I'm very PROUD to be a Network Marketer and what I truly LOVE most of all is... meeting people with the PASSION to better their own financial situation.

These are the people that are willing to LEARN the "job".
These are the people I LOVE working with.
These are the people that have the potential to earn MORE than those who say, "Well, I'll try it out for a month or two". Where's the PASSION in that??

Be FRIENDLY to your NETWORK!!
Show them the same RESPECT that YOU want from others!!
Check on them from time to time to see how they are doing!!

This is what you do... This is your chosen PROFESSION!!

Learn it NOW... http://teamprecision.ning.com/forum/topics/ez-wealth-school-new

EZ Wealth Solution Pays Out 1 Million Dollars In Commissions!

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 07:47:53 GMT

Press Release

EZ Wealth Solution Pays Out 1 Million Dollars In Commissions!

On Aug. 20, 2009 we witnessed a very rare accomplishment in this industry! EZWealthSolution.com has just reached the One Million Dollar Mark in Sales, and it also means they hit the One Million Dollar Mark in Commissions Paid because EZ Wealth Solution pays out a full 100% on all sales.

Less than 1% of Home Based Business Opportunities ever reach this milestone because as most of us know they never seem to ever stick around long enough or their compensation plan is not geared towards their Associates but rather towards lining the pockets of the company owners! With a 100% payout, there is no guessing who the EZ Wealth Solution Compensation Plan is geared towards!

When asked why he was paying out a full 100%, Ron Walsh the CEO & Founder of EZ Wealth Solution was quoted as saying;

"I just want to see people make money. I have been in this industry for over 15 years and I know from experience, that most programs/pay plans are not designed with the average person in mind. They are designed to fill the pockets of the program owners."

"I got so tired of working programs that would last no more than 6 months or the pay plan was just another cookie-cutter script that we�ve all seen fail time and time again. That�s why I stopped working every program I was involved with, and in May of 2007 I started putting EZ Wealth Solution together."

"I knew that I did not want to be like everyone else out there and use one of those cookie-cutter scripts that was destined for failure in 6 months to a year down the road, so I developed my own proprietary pay plan, and I did it with my future Associates in mind."

"A lot of program owners say they want their people to make money, but until they put their money where their mouth is, it�s just more hot air, and people are getting tired of this. People just want a way to make money online, and I just want to see people make money! This is why EZ Wealth Solution with a 100% payout is the perfect match for anyone wanting to make money online!"

"We have many Associates who are making $1,000 or more a month starting their very first month! We have Associates who are making $5,000 a month! We also have many hard working Associates who have already or are on pace to make over $100,000 their first year in the business, and all they ever have to pay in Admin Fees to the company is $10 a month!"

"That�s all great, but what gives me the most satisfaction is when I hear from someone who has lost thousands of dollars online, and they are close to tears when they thank me for putting EZ Wealth Solution together because this is the first time they have ever made any money online. I have all I can do not to shed a few tears myself when I hear such heart warming stories. It just makes me feel good inside."

"I want everyone to know the first Million Dollars in pay outs is just the beginning for EZ Wealth Solution because now I have set my sights on 2 Million Dollars, and the second Million will come faster that the first!"

"Back when I first launched EZ Wealth Solution in December of 2007, I did a video telling people about my background in the industry, and how I built websites and wrote conference calls for several different online business opportunities that combined went on to do millions of dollars in sales, and how I had taken all that knowledge and all that experience and poured it into EZ Wealth Solution, and I said that the Millions of dollars in sales that we will do will be paid to our EZ Wealth Associates!"

"When I first did that video I�m sure there were people who said: "Ya ya, I heard that story before." Well, I wonder what they are saying today! But that�s alright, with all the false promises they�ve been fed by other people in the past, they may have had good reason to doubt this seemingly "New Kid on the Block" promising to pay out Millions. I harbor no ill feelings towards anyone who doubted me, they may have missed out on the first Million, but they are more than welcome to join us as we go for the second Million in payouts, and the third, and the fourth!"

"I know there will be Millions more paid out because we have the pay plan to do it, and we have one of the lowest start up costs in the industry if not the lowest start up cost for a "Top Tier Program". As I just finished saying; the Admin Fee is just $10 a month, and with our "Pay It Forward System" at Package Level # 1, your sponsor is going to pay your way into Package Level # 1 (a $47 value), if you agree to Pay It Forward for one other person."

"So technically, someone can get started for as little as $10, and only after they find their first person will they have to Pay It Forward $47. This really opens us up to a global market. We have Associates from just about every country there is, some I�ve never heard of before, and they can leverage their way through our 5 Package Levels ranging in price from; $47, $97, $247, $497, & $997."

"Our 5 Product Packages consists of Digital and Software Products. We have over 700 of them divided into 5 Packages, and they come with complete Resale Rights, and some even have Master Resale Rights where you can re-brand them with your name as though you were the person who created that product. People can sell the products individually on their own or they can sell them in Packages through the EZ Wealth Pay Plan (that�s where the money is)!"

"We have made it really easy for people to sell the 5 Product Packages through the EZ Wealth Pay Plan because when they pay their $10 monthly Admin Fee we provide them with 3 professionally built websites to market, a Member Center full of Advertising Tools and Marketing Tips, Ad Tracking Software to track their online advertising, a How It Works Video Presentation where I close their sales for them, and we also have State-of-the-Art Tracking Software to keep track of all their sales."

"Oh, did I mention that when someone makes a sale the company does not handle the money! When a sale is made we simply connect the Reseller with the Purchaser, and they work out a payment method between themselves! This allows our Associates to get paid the very same day they make a sale, and they get to keep 100% of the money! How cool is that!"

Ron Walsh
CEO & Founder
EZ Wealth Solution

WOW! What else can I say that Mr. Walsh has not already said? EZ Wealth Solution has been around now for 20 months (as of Aug. 2009), and it looks like they are going to be around for many years to come as they head for the 2 Million Dollar Mark in commissions paid.

After seeing their one-of-a-kind pay plan I have no doubt that the EZ Wealth Solution pay plan is geared towards their Associates, and the second Million in payouts will come even faster than the first as the word starts to spread about this incredible Home Based Business Opportunity!

If EZ Wealth Solution was not already on your radar, then it definitely should be if you want to make money online, and you like the idea of a 100% payout that�s paid daily!

For more information about the EZ Wealth Solution business opportunity visit their website http://ez-wealth-solutions.david-corcoran.com/ to register for the "Free Tour", and they will open their entire Member Center for you to see exactly what they have to offer, and be sure to watch the How It Works Video Presentation when you�re in there because EZ Wealth Solution is quickly emerging as one of the best Home Based Business Opportunities on the Internet today!

You know... there are basically 2 types of people that I run into on a daily basis...

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 05:03:38 GMT

You know... there are basically 2 types of people that I run into on a daily basis...

1. Those who want to build a home business for months/years in order to start seeing a nice return.

2. Those who want the ability to start earning on DAY ONE and have their FIRST commission in
their hands on DAY ONE.

Well needless to say, EZ Wealth is about making the income you want TODAY!!

We don't try to discourage people from "searching" for the right opportunity. But it's just a simple fact
that MOST people don't want to wait months and years to start reaping the rewards from the efforts.

Quite honestly, most people don't even have the patience to wait years in ONE program. They
change their programs every so often hoping that the next one will pay out a little faster.

Well, look no further because there is NO Program that will pay you FASTER!! I spoke with a tour taker
yesterday and he chose to come in on product package #2. He sent me $97 to my PayPal account
and it's a DONE DEAL!! Now he's working the business so that he can begin earning UNLIMITED
daily cash payments of $47 & $97.

It makes no sense to me to jump from program to program... especially if you have not made a dime
yet. It's so obvious that no matter which business you choose, you NEED to WORK it!!

My point is this...

You should really consider joining EZ Wealth and WORKING it for at least 3 FULL months. Keep in
mind that if you want to start out on the lowest level possible then you're only spending $10 today
and $47 once you recruit your first reseller. At that point, you are Qualified on package level #1 and
you become eligible to start collecting UNLIMITED $47 payments of your own!!

No monthly products to purchase!!
Earn & Keep 100% of your sales!!
You decide how you want your money!!

Also keep in mind that EZ Wealth does NOT pay you. Your commissions are paid to you DIRECTLY
from the person purchasing a product package...

and there are OVER 100 products in each package!!

Do you want to Generate more Leads and Prospects for Your Business

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 03:23:11 GMT

Do you want to Generate more Leads and Prospects for Your Business

Do you want to generate more leads and prospects for your own business.

It is a fact that most marketers engaged in an online
business will always have a tendency to follow their respective
companies back offices when it comes to advertise
and promote their own internet businesses.

Many online companies will suggest the best of their
knowledge when it comes to drive traffic to their affiliates
web site, what this does is creates a big huge circle
of fisherman all casting in the same pond.

The early ones may catch a few fish by constantly
changing their lures while the vast majority will catch
very few if any, that is major reason why so many
marketers gets frustrated and eventually give up.

Learning how to specifically targeted qualified
prospects online it�s not an easy task, with all the
internet HYPE and B.S. one can find� himself
overwhelmed with all this information and will
eventually get confused on what really works out there.

After testing and trying different paid and free
advertising methods for the last six years I came
to the conclusion that the best way to find the right
prospects who will eventually join any legal
opportunity it would be by contacting existing
online business owners through emails and phone calls.

The social networks are also a good source to
develop relationships and friendships with other marketers,
many of them are total free to join. One word of advice here
would be not to spend all your time in this type of activity
hoping that everyone will join your program, don�t forget
that the others are also trying to get you to buy in their programs.

The best way I�ve found to attract other marketers
to look at my opportunities it has always been by
offering them tips and free� information on how to generate
leads and where to find effective marketing tools that they�ll
be able to afford in order to promote their businesses.

That seems to be the best way to get their attention,
in other words instead of concentrating on digging
for gold try to provide the picks and shovels for a change.
You�ll be surprised how much your conversion rate will increase.

How to Generate more Leads

To our Success,

EZ Wealth Admin Update

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 02:48:07 GMT

EZ Wealth Admin Update

We are now less than $17,000 away from hitting the 1 Million Dollar Mark, and remember 100% of
the m`oney was paid out to our Resellers!

Back when I first launched EZ Wealth I did a video telling people about my background in the industry,and how I built websites and wrote conference calls for several different online business opportunities
that combined went on to do millions of dollars in sales, and how I had taken all that knowledge, and
all that experience and poured it into EZ Wealth Solution, and I said that the Millions of dollars
in sales that we will do here will be paid to our EZ Wealth Resellers!

Went I first did that video I�m sure there were people who said: `` YA YA, I heard that story before.��

I WONDER WHAT THEY ARE SAYING TODAY!!!

With less than $17,000 away from the first Million, I
will soon be setting my sites on 2 Million in Payouts!

You may have missed out on the first Million, do you really want to miss out on the 2nd Million?

David Corcoran Recommends EZ Wealth

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 01:44:42 GMT

This just came in from my upline this morning...

WOW! This is going to be an incredible month!!

Our team leader has earned OVER $5,200... within the last 5 days alone... bringing his total earnings
to OVER $115,000 this year!

The economy WON'T get any better any time soon. People are taking a look at the EZ Wealth
opportunity and coming in on the highest levels that they can afford. Why?

Because coming in on the highest levels ensures that they won't miss out on any commissions because
of new resellers coming in on a higher level than they did. It certainly makes sense because these folks
know how much they want to earn and they realize that "You can't resell what you don't own!!"

About 2 months ago I spoke with a personal friend of mine, Karen Burns, and she was telling me that ANY
DAY now she could lose her job because of cut-backs at the company. I introduced her to EZ Wealth and she
immediately came in on levels 1 & 2.

As soon as she got her first qualifying sale, she sent me an email stating that she will be upgrading to all
5 product package levels as soon as she could. She saw the potential here and just last Saturday, she
did as she said she would. Now that she's in at all five levels, she doesn't have to fear that she will miss
out on any commissions rolling up to the next reseller.

Congrats Karen... Team Precision is with you all the way!!

PRESS RELEASE

February 27, 2009

New Personal Powerline Pay Plan Takes the Internet by Storm!

In a time of doom and gloom that we find ourselves in with today�s failing economy, it�s refreshing to see a program or should I say a pay plan come along that was actually designed with the average person in mind! A pay plan so simple and so affordable, anyone can join and anyone can succeed!

The pay plan I�m referring to is called �The Personal Powerline�, and is was designed by Mr. Ron Walsh, CEO and Founder of EZWealthSolution.

EZ Wealth Solution is a Direct Sales Company and has been in business for 15 months (as of March 2009). EZ Wealth Solution has 5 separate Pay Plans (5 Levels), and they are paying out a full 100% on all sales, and being that they are a Direct Sales Company, all commissions are sent directly from Member-to-Member!

�The Personal Powerline Pay Plan� is the �Lead in Program� or the �In House Feeder Program� for the 5 Level Pay Plan at EZ Wealth Solution, and it really makes it easy for people to get into profit so they can leverage their way into the higher income Levels. Mr. Walsh even has a �Pay It Forward System� in place whereby your sponsor will pay your way into �The Personal Powerline Pay Plan� Level # 1 (a $47 value), and boy is it ever working!

Over $600,000 in commissions have been paid out already! According to Mr. Walsh, they are on pace to hit the MILLION DOLLAR mark by June, 2009. Pretty impressive when you think they are paying out a full 100%!

In this marketers opinion, �The Personal Powerline Pay Plan� is a stroke of genius, and a must see for everyone wanting to earn money online!

There is no other pay plan like this on the Internet because it was personally designed by Mr. Walsh himself, and to quote Mr. Wash; �It�s going to change the way people earn money online, and the speed in which they do it!�

I could not agree more! The income potential here is truly incredible!

There are confirmed reports of people earning as much as $5,000 to $10,000 their very first month in the business, and many more earning $500 to $1000 their first month!

What�s so amazing about this is you can get started for as little as $10 (Admin Fee) and this covers both programs, PersonalPowerline and EZWealthSolution.

One low Admin Fee for 2 programs, this is unheard of! I�m still trying to figure out if Mr. Walsh is crazy or brilliant. At this point I�m leaning towards brilliant because he has made this program affordable to the masses, but there�s one thing for sure, he�s not greedy like some program owners you see out there!

If you ask me, this is exactly the type of person and program we need in these tough economic times. So if you need to make an extra $500 to $1000 this month, I urge you to check out �The Personal Powerline Pay Plan�! JUST CLICK HERE NOW!

Yours in Profit,

If you have a business on the Internet that needs leads you should take a look at Veretekk

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 02:43:18 GMT

If you have a business on the Internet that needs leads you should take a look at Veretekk! Let's face it leads and lead generation is one of the biggest problems all Internet marketer face.

Let's take a closer look at what Veretekk is and how it can benefit your business.

First of all Veretekk is a lead generation system allows you to build up more traffic for your business using their marketing portals. One portal that it offers lets marketers submit ads to millions of pages just with one click.

You can use Veretekk to promote your own business as well as you can use it as a business opportunity for other marketers. You can make the service available to them for their business leads as well as an opportunity for them to make money too.

They offer auto responders which are an excellent way to follow up with leads and develop relationships with them. The Internet can be kind of impersonal and future follow-up is one of the most important things you can do to build your business.

Therefore Veretekk is not only supplying you with the leads, but also giving you an auto responder to follow-up with them. If you currently have an autoresponder, you can redirect any leads you get from the Veretekk opportunity directly into it as well.

There is not an Internet marketer online today doesn't need more leads! Regardless of how experienced you are there something with this system that can benefit you.

For example, they offer a weekly live webinar that you can attend for training as well as they archive those own online for future training too. All Veretekk leads are verified by a third party so you eliminate all spam complaints and do not run the risk of having your Internet business shutdown due to those.

One part of the Veretekk system that members rave about is VereCare. It uses proprietary VOIP software from Livve Inc. that allows it's members to access training rooms to see and hear us live teaching the methods. Beginning internet marketers will be able to get up and running quickly in the basic orientation rooms.

One other thing is this excellent program offers an affiliate commission program where you can earn money for referring new members. They offer a generous pay plan that allows you to build a downline group and make even more money.

This is a little bit about Veretekk and the benefits it offers. If you are not currently experiencing growth in your business it is definitely worth looking into Veretekk.

Business for Sale Where to Look by David Corcoran

Business for Sale Where to Look by David Corcoran

People look for a business everyday, many people will turn to a major search engine such as google to find a business for sale.

When you go to a website that lists all the different businesses for sale, they are usually catagorized into different areas, either by location or by interest. It is a good idea to find a business that you are interested in the final product, it is a lot easier to give information on a product if you are indeed interested in it.

Once you have found a business, now how are you going to make money with your opportunity or your products, to put it in simple terms, you are going to need customers.

When starting your business you should also look for website and domain name if you are going to be advertising on the internet, so you can ultimately get traffic to your products. Some businesses will give you a replicated website that you can advertise, however in the long run you will be far better off with your own website in order to attract the search engine spiders, the replicated site you get from your opportunity will look the same as other business people and not get attention and website traffic you are going to want in order to make many sales.
