Leaders or TEAM players.

We have all heard the inaccurate say that there is no I in TEAM. I say it's inaccurate because TEAM always starts with an I.

Ways that I effects a TEAM

• Do I join a Team or go it alone? Effects the decision to get started.
• What can I do for the TEAM? Effects the production and co-operation.
• What can I get out of the team? Often this thinking begins it's fall.
• What can I do without the Team? Folks this almost always kills it.

In our newest project I was guilty of brainstorming our new direction and as CEO I jumped into production before the other partners were all 100% on board with the move and knew their roles and what would be expected. As CEO my job is to lead our direction and the plan is solid but I rushed into production and started going it alone without advising key people of where they stood in the mission.

Needles to say half my 4^th of July was spent correcting my foolish moves.

Change can be tough, especially when all members are expected to be able to convey a unified message and don't know what that message is. Development is slowed if the people who work on scrips and design don't have a clear path, set of directives and a time line. It further complicates when you have a trainee caught in the middle of a Mad Man at the helm moving full speed and mad partners not knowing when the mad man is headed or why, how it works, or more then what the final product is.

That's been a huge learning curve for me.

I built a very successful online business teaching teamwork but like most of our Guru's forgot the team at home. I was injured and had nobody who could step in and be me and in the course of 2 months of physical therapy and my business collapsed and my reputation for communication, trust, and support almost ruined.

Since that day I have come together with a great team. I started out as a humble worker, became a partner, and worked hard. When Dave decided he needed to take time off and come back in a reduced role I was asked to step up and lead our company as it's second ever CEO. Dave came back to a totally different business, I move fast and take no prisoners but the time zones played a toll.

See Dave coming back has often been left out of the loop until changes have already begun, because one partner lives in the same house and shares the same office space, another vital team member is on our time zone in Canada. Poor Dave in Australia comes online around 5PM-6PM my time, after a day of moving and shaking is done and is sometimes the least in the know despite being one of the most vital parts of the team.

Yesterday I wrote up a full battle plan complete with assignments and a rough timeline and even a plan for initial marketing. I will now make it a daily practice to take notes and communicate because the other I in TEAM is. How can I fail the TEAM.

Traffic Firestorm to become Income Builder on steroids.

We have informed all members from day one that TFS and Velocity Marketer were destined for great things. That moment is just around the corner! Changes will be taking place over the next few days that will throw your TFS world for a loop and bring it down in money heaven!

No longer will Traffic Firestorm be focused as a traffic exchange system.

The Traffic Exchange feature will remain as a benefit to our members but will not be the main focus of Traffic Firestorm. TFS will instead be transformed into a massive team builder with not less then 6 streams of income and 20 streams of traffic generating power.

All of this will be revolving around Kooiii Social Media Search, K.A.R.T. Advertising and the Kooiii Store. This is a combined system more then 3 years in the making with the potential to tap into more then 1 billion in annual revenues by simply capturing 1% of Google.

Many of you have never been a part of a team build, but you will find yourselves, (should you stay), no longer working alone towards anything. We are not asking any members to give up on their current program(s). However, you will quickly see that TFS will have two great ways to participate.

We said two ways to participate and this is how your Traffic Firestorm is built.

Free member: As a free member you will get total use of facilities to build the multiple income streams and also promote your primary business. You will see a few features lost and a lot more gained, and you will earn 15% commissions on all of the upgraded memberships that you sell.

Upgraded member – $29.95 a month: Upgraded members will take part in all free member tools and have the added benefits of greater earnings on upgrades, additional advertising for their primary business as a bonus each month, as well as random referrals from our advertising Co-Op.

The Co-Op is where things get really exciting!

We now have a growing social network and two world class search engines and we control 100% of the advertising on each one. In addition, our publisher network is growing daily and will continue to grow even more with each new TFS member and K.A.R.T. Publisher which will put TFS Team ads on thousands of websites around the world. All of which will feed an advertisement for the TFS front page or one of our Team Splash Pages and will put recruits in under a random paid member.

This is all very important because of those Income Streams.

The first 3 streams all come from K.A.R.T. Advertising.

Stream one is naturally earned by displaying our ads to your website and blog visitors. It pays per click earnings.

Stream two is from bringing in new advertisers and will earn you residual income each time the advertiser adds more money to their account.

Stream 3 is from bringing in more K.A.R.T. Publishers. (All TFS members will have to become a Publisher.) You will earn a residual commission each time a K.A.R.T. Publisher you brought in earns a paycheck as well.

Stream 4 is too obvious with the upgrades at Traffic Firestorm.

Stream 5 comes as a Kooiii Store Affiliate which allows you to offer products, services, and a discount club membership for sale as well. Affiliates will earn commissions from each sale or residual income from each membership.

Streams 6 and above all come from unique opportunities we are going to put in the Firehouse Builder that will give you even more great income driving power at TFS.

To top it off, we will still be sitting on a massive traffic builder that will further push more team members into Traffic Firestorm daily.

Please folks, try to understand that the changes will be fast and will be noticeable as items like the banner and text rotators are replaced by K.A.R.T. Ads, the text on pages change, and some features and options vanish or are replaced with great new additions.

Team Traffic Firestorm is on a path to make millionaires. Make it your mission to be a part of it all.

Andy, Dave, and Dale.

Well today being 1 month after our website Kooiii.com was wrongfully blocked because we tested and removed a 3rd party advertising code that Google bot didn’t like, they have finally stopped calling us an attack site. Possibly the last two request which told them of the intent to follow through on a slander suit if the site was not restored.

The message our Aussie Partner received from Stop Badware:

Dave,

The reason you weren’t able to find the “Current Activity” section at the link below is that Google stopped reporting badware on your site as of earlier today. The warnings have been removed from Google search listings and other sources that use Google’s data.

Likely the warning was removed in response to your request for a review via Webmaster Tools.

Regards,
Maxim Weinstein, StopBadware

What still begs attention is how a company can gain status by attaching to a loose script that get’s errant reads and makes wrongful accusations against other companies. What they are calling, keeping you safe is actually hurting legitimate webmasters and small business owner. In fact the scammers, frauds, and virus mongers of the world plot routes around their technology as fast as these sites are thrown up so out of the 40,000+ websites they have blocked, there is a high possibility that a large number of those sites are not attack sites at all.

Even when they do get a legitimate hit, it is often a webmaster who had their website hacked by a piece of Internet scum and now the website owners are labeled with attack site and thought of as badware agents because a crime was committed against them.

Who gives these people a right to operate or regulates them on accuracy? Google, Mozzilla, MySpace, Pay-Pal, and the 3-5 other sponsors and partners of Stop Badware, are just companies, not government entities and yet they have assumed that they have a right to filter and police the web and choose what and how you see things on the Internet. They do so using a software agent that makes serious mistakes and flat out slanders good people and legitimate businesses.

Your thoughts are appreciated,

Google falsely accuses websites of being attack sites.

Google as most know has long tried to control the web. From telling webmasters in the Adsense program that they are not allowed to post certain content, or duplicate content, post some free advertising types or advertise in free advertising resources such as traffic exchanges and double opt in safelist. Google thinks the Internet belongs to them, that they have some form of regulatory control or right to tell you the user what you are allowed to access. Hell they even tried to rule China by defying their information access policies.

Battle lines drawn Google must repent.

Being that we own search engine sites and have a planned ad server launching it is bad business to slam dunk the competition on their massive flaws. But today we are in a position where fighting back is a must do, either word war on web or in court as their actions against us and one of our domains now warrant.

Today while working on Kooiii.com, the home of our primary search and future advertising platform we have found that the site is showing in as blocked as a attack site. On the explanation we found a advertising code we removed 3 weeks ago as the cause of the site being blocked, but can attest that even that advertising system showed zero signs of being anything worse then a free system that got better results then Google Adwords. Still we removed the code 3 weeks back because our ad server is nearly completed.

After 3 weeks time is not a time for Google to decide we are an attack site, especially when by the reason they gave us, the 3rd party advertising program was the culprit. In exchange for a code that was on our site less then 24 hours Google is slandering our legitimate and licensed business. The report is coming through them and being handed out as Google is God trash to your browser and Anti Virus programs by http://www.stopbadware.org .

This is a immediate cease and desist Google, stop attacking online business owners, stop trying to rule the web. We know your clout with the program, the method to get off the list requires us to use your tools, that’s a monopoly, and telling people sites you don’t like are illegal or dangerous is just plain bad business and downright against the law.

Note: Legal slander is an attack on a person or business by fraudulent means that causes damage to their reputation. Liable is slander at the point it cost a business or individual monetary loss, loss of employment, or physical, emotional losses such as friends and family. In order to avoid these Google needs more then we don’t recognize this code or we don’t like this code, or even this code has been used for. They need proof of a direct illegitimate act carried out with intent and a force of law in agreement with them. Thus if this has happened to your websites we urge that you file immediate suit against Google to stop these actions.

Australias Kevin Rudd announced yesterday that effective immediately tobacco taxes would rise by a massive 25%, but is this really legal ? can the prime minister simply dictate a rise without any public debate and is the tax discriminating against smokers ???.

Opposition Leader Tony Abbot pointed out that although masked as a move to force the smokers to quit and thereby improve their health, the real reason is possibly to make up for Kevin Rudds overspending at the expense of those afflicted with the addiction.

Personally i feel it’s just another case of the free country not being free and the will of a few being forced upon the many, how would this tax hike have faired in a public poll ? it would have probably lost overwhelmingly, the way this tax has been installed is exactly what would have been expected of Sadam Hussien  or Fidel Castro.

Wake up Mr Rudd Australia is supposed to be a democratic country yet you deny us our freedom of choice, you already tell smokers where and when they can smoke now you want to cover up your mistakes at our expense, just because you do not smoke doesn’t mean we cannot smoke and should not be penalised because we do, you are discriminating against smokers and it’s time to stop, you want to raise that money try putting a lid on your already bloated salaries and you trips all over the world to do what something you already have ambassadors in those countries to do.

Mr Rudd your in for a fight because the tobacco companies are not going to simply roll over to your demands they remove their long established brands from their packaging, the smokers in Australia are not going to take being the fall guy for govt mistakes yet again with this move you have already lost the next federal election, We the people demand equality for all.

Mr Rudd i have been a smoker for 40 years an addict to nicotine yet you offer no aid to kick what is supposed to be more addictive than heroin instead you simply kick us in the teeth again and again what do you think the results of your tax is going to be  well i can tell you this Australia will see a rise in crime and suicide, the poor of this country struggle to make ends meet now while remaining honest yet you in one stupid move powered by greed have put the poor in a position where they have little or no alternative but to steal and commit crime in order to survive, simply going cold turkey is not really an option and is also one many doctors warn against because of the irreparable physiological and physical damage it can cause and yes it can lead to suicide.

You want Australia to stop smoking then look to other incentives like a free quit program where we can get the medications required to wean us off of nicotine for free and also get the  physiological help necessary to kick the habit.

You have stuffed up Mr Rudd, you are PM not Dictator of Australia and your new tax is not Legal or Fair, We demand a public referendum where you will find out just how low our opinion of you is after this disgraceful act.

(this post is a personal view and does not necessarily reflect the views of the owners of this site)

These days almost everything on the Internet carries a copyright notice, Pictures,websites articles and often people acquire these materials the find the owner is threatening legal action for infringing their copyright.
When this happens Don’t panic most of these threats are just that worded to scare you into removing the material, however you may not have to, see although placing a copyright © on a page or a picture it does not mean that the owner is eligible to sue.
In order for the owner of a work to sue for infringement that work must be duly registered for Intellectual property copyright and General copyright in the country the infringement has occurred, now the Berne Convention does allow basic transfer of copyright between participating countries but the fact remains there needs to be a physical copyright in place to legally sue someone for copyright infringement.
This being the case it is your right to challenge the owner of the work to provide proof that a Registered copyright indeed exists and without that proof you are not legally required to honor any copyright notices .
Courts will not hear cases where no Registered Copyright or Intellectual property Copyright exists, the same might be said for trademarks and brands however it is more likely that a trademark or brand has been registered whereas most website designers, amateur artists even software developers falsely rely on if they have the © on their work it is covered.
Now i am not a lawyer but i do know how to read and there are plenty of articles written by experts on copyright law available on the internet which outline how to copyright a work so that it has legal status, I have included below a few of these links where i sourced my information for this article.

Velocity Marketer Company moving forward.

With the hard hit on such services as our website hosting system and the announced retirement or semi retirement of CEO Dave Gilbert, new leadership in Sr. Partner Andy Anderson has stepped forward to consolidate and advance our business.

Velocity Marketer currently holds over 20 domains and websites with most either marked for future website development or used in a manner to generate traffic and buzz about our programs.

Several of these domains will soon be placed for sale via SEDO, the leading resource for Domain Name sales. Currently offered for sale is PR5 Easy Search Live search engine which has been decided no longer meets our future development goals and has been placed on the back burner the last couple of months.

Easy Search Live was established on the domain easysearch.com.au in 2003 and mover to easysearchlive.com in 2005 and is a high traffic, well ranked website and domain name that has built a great reputation in the alternative search engine category.

UPDATE: We have pulled our listing for Easy Search Live and redirected that domain to send immediate traffic to our new and drastically improved search engine AZ Locate. The new search engine has such major features as mobile search, and social media search tools and expands our service beyond it’s former limits.

Our business model moving forward will be laser targeted on our growing wordpress theme, CMS templates, and prepackages website themes, tools and training resources through My Viral Business. In addition we will remain active and moving forward with My Viral Blog . We have also just launched AZ Locate Internet Search Engine with social media search and quick view for comparison shopping. We are also in development of a micro blogging system at Hot Spot Social which has entered Beta Testing and is awaiting a upgrade to the current RSS output before being released.

Over the next couple of days a total changing of the guard will be completed, all reference to our former hosting services will be removed or modified to reflect the end of that program. At that point we will begin to add new designs and products to My Viral Business and expand promotion of our affiliate program and discount club operations.

Please bear with us during this time of change and growth,

It is with sad hearts that we are announcing the official close to Velocity Marketer Hosting.

Due to the Global Economic Crisis our client base has dropped sharply and does not allow for the hiring of new support staff to continue offering the high level of service we have provided since inception. With that in mind we as a company will not offer a service that does not reflect our promise of rapid experienced support and client promotion.

No new clients will be taken:

Existing clients have been issued a notice that they will have until the end of February to find new hosting service to migrate their websites to prior to our closing of the c-panel system and access to accounts. Clients who have moved their service prior to the end dates of their current contract will be refunded the remainder of un-used service as per the site terms you agreed to at the beginning of your contract. Full details have been e-mailed to you at your account e-mail address.

Existing hosting clients in need of support related to their moving of websites and domains from our system may place a support ticket in your user back office..

Velocity Marketer and Velocity Marketer Hosting in conjunction with DG Innovations / Pyrium of Australia have been proud to serve you, and have valued every client. This was a tough call but a much needed move to save resources and consolidate our business.

It is with further sadness we announce the retirement or semi retirement of CEO and Hosting admin Dave Gilbert. His technical skills in design and SEO, had him in high demand among clients and made Velocity Marketer Hosting work.

Dave has reached a time in his life where 10 years of late nights and early mornings has demanded he now focus a majority of his time to family and living life. His grand children demand his presence and we wish him the absolute best in his at least scaled back workload.

Dave has been asked to remain a periodic author for My Viral Blog sharing his wealth of knowledge and has offered limited consulting to Dale and Myself. He may also be available for outsourced work on design projects in the future, but his services will not be a daily part of Velocity Marketer moving forward.

Dave has been friend and mentor to me for the better part of 5 years. a true friend in success and trials alike and his efforts have resulted in a strong business model that has survived where others have failed. I am proud to have had him as a business partner for so long.. I am even more proud of our friendship which knows no bounds, even the thousands of miles of land and water between Australia and my home in Yuma Arizona. Dave and his family will always be a part of our extended family and a door will always be open to his return.

Thanks to Dave for his service and our clients for their business,

Please Note a list of available webhost to serve your needs is being compiled and will replace the package options in the left navigation menu on Velocity Marketer Hosting.

One of the most important tools in a marketers toolbox is the microblog, no other form of free promotion can get visitors to your site faster than a microblog.

Now there are many sites on the net offering microblogging apart from twitter and sometimes using one of these other sites can be more beneficial than posting on twitter alone.

Some of the other microbloggers deal only with certain niches and for targeting these are ideal places to launch your product or service that fall into a certain niche (most products and services belong to one niche or another) SPNBabble for instance deals mainly with search and advertising while Hot Spot Social is focused on the Internet Business community and social media as a whole and deals mainly with business networking and link building.

Most of the Microblogging sites allow you to place a URL within your post but you have to remember a microblog is small normally between 160 and 200 characters so keep the text short and link to the information rather than try posting all you need to say in the microblog, most will have found this post simply because it is linked to my microblog demonstrating the power a microblog has.

When joining a microblogging community it is important you read their rules in order to avoid being banned for spamming, be sure to fill in your profile giving as much detail about yourself as possible (the more people know about you the more they are likely to accept you in the community), be honest never try to embellish your abilities as you will quickly get found out and be shunned as a fraud.

Be active in the community never just post and leave, your post will quickly disappear from the activity feed so you will need to re-post daily, you may also receive some comments about your post, be polite and answer them even if the comment is upsetting replying with a thank-you for your input can be more upsetting for the commenter who probably just wanted to get a reaction from you.

Follow people, the fastest way to get followers is to actually start following people you come across in the community, most times they will reciprocate and follow you also, following a person means when they post you should be notified of a new post most times you will receive an email notification likewise when you post your followers will all be notified providing instant  promotion of your new post.

Your Avatar is important it should reflect who you are, personally i prefer to use a good head shot photograph of myself but you could also use your brand or logo as effectively.

Check your spelling when making a post and use proper language skills, if people can't understand what your saying they are going to dismiss your post as rubbish.

Don't forget to check out all the facilities offered at the microblogging site, some are pretty cool and can be a great tool for promotion .

Most of all remember microblogging works and if your not already using them then you are missing out on a ton of free traffic not to mention the links your posts will provide back to your main site.

My Viral Blog will no longer be offering free blog hosting services.

When Initially launched the intent of My Viral Blog was to offer free hosting for online bloggers interested in for profit blogging and owning a home based business. In the past several months though, what was hoped to be a well received project adding value to our systems and sites has turned into an attention and money pit with massive attacks from blog spammers and link sellers using illegal methods to rip off the webmasters of the world.

My average week since inception has revolved around deleting around 2500 spam accounts per week including fake blogs designed only to create a back link. This process takes around 5-6 hours per week alone, another 6-10 hours per week has been spent to research and improve blog security and blacklist attacking domains and IP strings.

Along the way we have developed a popular blog and are seeing increased back links, syndication of our articles and post, and support for our training in blog, social media, and search engine marketing. The efforts to improve on this have resulted in a PR4 ranking from Google which could be higher if it were not for the spammers who create pages we must later delete. The deleted pages and fake blogs with no unique content result in a penalty to our blog's Page Ranks and indexing by generating too many indexed and site mapped links that result in a 404 error page or blank blogs linking to the home that appear to search engines like gateway pages which are heavily penalized and can result in de-listing.

Dropping the free blogs and it's effect on users:

As a result we have shut off new blog creations and are giving notice to our bloggers to retrieve their SQL back ups in order to move their blogs to other hosting either self hosted or through other free services. Those seeking affordable blog hosting with large account space and unlimited bandwidth and unlimited domain names are welcome to check out Velocity Marketer Hosting. Pound for pound our hosting service offers features not found at comparable prices and service that is above and beyond expectations.

Velocity Marketer and My Viral Blog are making some minor and major changes this week to streamline business operations and focus our service and resources. Other major announcements will follow over the next few days as we return to a 100% blog at My Viral Blog and begin spending more time writing articles and less time consumed by blog security issues.

Thanks for all you do,

As the title suggests in this post I am covering Keyword research, a task that can be frustrating and time consuming, however it is important that you research the keywords used in your site, marketing and advertising properly .

To start with you are going to need a good keyword research tool, one that can check and compare results from several different sources is best as while you may be aiming to score well on Google you cannot afford to ignore results from other engines like Yahoo or Msn Live etc as these will also play a huge part in how well your campaign fares on Google.

Often Search companies will supply these tools for users and Easysearchlive.com is no different  you will find an extensive tools page here http://velocitymarketerhosting.com/seo-tools/ (Velocity Marketer Hosting is owned by Easy Search Live).

To start your keyword research you first need to decide what niche your site fits best in try to drill this down as accurately as possible for Velocity Hosting this would look something like this Web Hosting>low cost>unmetered. this establishes the core keywords most relevant to your site or campaign, we would then use the keyword tool to compare the top 10 results on the major search engines this will then leave you with a generated list of keyword/phrases that the top 10 listings on the search engines have used, (sometimes this list can be quite extensive) and the number of seaches performed using those keywords/phrases.

Keeping in mind the top few results are likely to be quite expensive in a PPC campaign and competition on various search engines will also be extensive select a few that have reasonable traffic (it is better to have a few keywords rather try to compete for the top keyword phrase).

By this time you will definitely be looking for a cup of coffee and that niggling sensation is the start of the headache so it may also be time to reach for the Tylenol.

Having selected your keywords/Phrases it is time to check what it is going to cost you to run those keywords in a PPC campaign, you need this information because if they are outside of your budget then it is pointless using them on your site (Marketing and Advertising campaigns get better results when the keywords match those of your site).this can be quite time consuming also and be prepared to revise your keyword list or start from scratch.

Time for another coffee and a bunch more tylenol

When you have finally sorted out which keywords you will use it's time to start drawing up your marketing plan, now the key to a good marketing plan is to keep it simple try to avoid over complicating what should be a simple process.

You know which keywords are going to be used so lets order them according to importance, next we want to look at how we are going to use them and where, some will be suitable for anchors in textual advertising  while others will remain simply as extra tags or be used as content anchors on your site.

We need to identify where and when we are going to place our advertising ie Google adwords and determine exactly how much of the budget to allocate to that campaign  (each keyword/phrase is classed as a seperate campaign), Our Target Audience and the start and end date of the campaign.

the next phase is to design your adverts ensuring that the chosen keyword for each appears at least once in the ad content.

Be sure to  write all this up and place it where it can be a visual reminder, I personally like to use a whiteboard next to my desk for this purpose as it allows me to check on what i have done or what needs doing at a glance.

Launching your Campaigns:

a mistake a lot of first time advertisers and marketers make is to panic because it's been a week with no indication of a result, campaigns need time to work and patience is the key here, my campaigns normally run for a minimum of 6 months with control checks evey month and a revision check every 2 months this allows sufficient time for the campaign to propogate throughout the web and allows for proper modelling of the results, campaigns that are under performing may need tweaking at the 2 monthly revision and this can be a simple as changing the wording of the ad slightly or simply changing the colors used.

Constant changing of the ad is detrimental to it's effect remember it needs time to be seen by the Internet community and your Target audience so make changes subtle and leave some time between them.

When performing the monthly checks what you are looking for is the number of clicks each ad has received and what your ROI (Return On Investment) has been for the period, you are also looking to see that your ads are in fact being displayed and that there are no errors in the ads (sometimes a webmaster can change the formatiing of his/her site and this can adversly affect the formating of your ad, it may now contain extra symbols or spelling errors or the colors may have varied from the original, in which case some urgent repairs may be required.

In closing my tip is "Don't rush things , think the campaign out thoroughly and keep a big box of tylenol next to the coffee pot "

Anyone who has ever used PPC (Pay Per Click) Advertising knows that to get a listing under the top used keywords means spending copius amounts of money on each of the main keywords even then there is no guarantee that your bid will be beaten 5 minutes after placement.

I hope through this article to show the reader alternative tactics that will produce the same sort of results received when you successfully win the bidding war but without spending all that money.

The first step in any successful advertising campaign should always be keyword research closely followed by the development of a sound marketing plan which encompasses exactly where the ads will appear.and what their content should be.(i'll cover this in more detail in future posts)

Now for small companies struggling to make an impression on the Internet there are alternatives to competing with the large corporations in PPC advertising, rather than looking to bid on high usage keywords they are better off spreading their available budget across a broad range of lesser keywords the results will only be slightly less than if they had gone for the major keyword, in fact in some cases they will gain results that surpass those using the major Keyword both is traffic and positioning as they gain more exposure.

The other option small business owners can look to is CPM (Cost Per Month) advertising, this form of advertising rotates users through the number of slots available for each keyword guaranteeing exposure in the top 10 places, this form allows for accurate budgeting and has simular results to PPC without the bidding war on top keywords, a shining example of this is the ISEDN form of CPM advertising.

The bottom line is small business should not even consider competing in bidding wars as this will ultimately lead to failure

Recently we announced that Easy Search Live had Joined the ISEDN network of Search providers, as part of our membership we are able to offer the ISEDN alternative to PPC advertising.

Now while PPC has been a mainstay of advertising in the past it is fast becoming too expensive for all but the richest companies as bidding for top keyword placement rises above realistic levels, a fact forcing many small companies to look at alternative ways to advertise their business.

ISEDN ads provide a low cost alternative to PPC while retaining the exposure through it's network of 400+ Search Engines and Directories, the other advantage of ISEDN advertising is that every ad enjoys equal exposure as it is rotated through the ad slots for each keyword, this means your ad is guaranteed to show in the top ten places on a majority of the network for a majority of it's run time.

The ISEDN ads are also very cost effective in comparison to other advertising systems, instead of a bidding system there is just the one low fee per keyword (around $4 per month) this allows advertisers to maintain their budget while increasing the number of keywords/phrases the ads will appear under.

Coupled with millions of searches performed monthly ISEDN advertising all adds up to better Bang for your advertising dollar click here to check it out for yourself

New Christmas themes at My Viral Blog.

First off you are looking at our new Christmas theme customized for My Viral Blog. Hope you enjoy the new holiday look and feel to our blog. As mentioned in prior post we offer free blogs to our readers that sign up to My Viral Blog and have just added a special Christmas theme for you as well without our branding and advertising of course. Membership is 100% free, and the free blogs are given in hopes to help increase our readership, a fact we will not deny. We like having you around and coming back for more.

In the members area should you decide the blog we have added the Christmas Bloggers Theme shown below.

Our themes are done in house and are part of the My Viral Business Program.

Once again we hope you enjoy and wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season,

Andy Zeus Anderson

Christmas time is coming and today is the day I start designing our Christmas theme and maybe a few to put up for sale in the store.

There is also a script update for our site that I will be working on so if things look funny or out of place for a bit you'll know why. New script updates are like mystery meat. You just don't know what you are getting until you have it installed. I think twice this year we had back end changes and a few time there were security features upgrades with virtually no other changes.

You may have noticed the community area is still offline. I have taken it down while focusing un security and trying to patch any leaks that are keeping our ongoing war with Spam Bots alive. Proud to say we are down from 100+ Spammer Blogs a day to around 8-14 each day but as long as some moron with auto software can create even 1 we will continue to improve the system.

I need to remind visitors as in the last two post that while we do offer free blogs to our readers we are primarily a blog. We focus on social media marketing, online business, promotion, and share updates about our comanies products and services. Among those websites we own is Easy Search Live and I am hoping to announce this week a new venture with one of the largest search partnerships on the web that will spell massive cost savings on paid advertising for our users, and will also result in a very high profile and tons of traffic to our growing engine which is currently Google PR5 and Alexa Rank 175,569 and growing.

BTW having issues there with Adsense targeting and the ads have been shoing on Easy Search in Arabic languages. This is a Google issue they fail to adress and allow for publishers to do a manual setting. We have only a couple options, and one is to disable the multi language support the other is to replace Google. Well on Easy Search Live it will be Bye Bye Google as soon as this other partnership goes through. Plain and simple we are tired of jumping through hoops for Google to tell us how to run our site, when they can't even fix criticcal issues like Arabic ads showing to English users with theirs.

Either way Thanksgiving is coming real soon. Pulled the bird to thaw, all 23 pounds of it to feed 5 adults and 6 kids on turkey day. Plain and simple folks we are most thankful for our families, our readers, and our clients. You make being in a home based business great!
