Nominated for 20 Emmys and winner of a Golden Globe for Best Television Series (Musical or Comedy), Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of the more clever and hilarious shows on TV. The HBO original series is the brainchild of Seinfeld co-creator and writer Larry David, whose life maintains a peculiar resemblance to the quasi-fictional George Costanza. And just like George Costanza and Gtarz neurotically-low self-esteem (i.e. “God doesn’t want me to be successful), Curb Your Enthusiasm propagates a Murphy’s Law theme of “what can go wrong will go wrong”. It’s a true-to-life reality show about nothing in which every episode is certain to cause comedy connoisseurs everywhere to tremble in enthusiastic anticipation…

Curb Your Enthusiasm centers around the actual life of Larry David - post-Seinfeld and living the high life in Los Angeles. Just like Larry’s other successful TV venture, the show doesn’t focus entirely on plot, instead following the mundane and routine adventures of a famous Hollywood insider. And just like his alter-ego George Constanza, Larry often witnesses simple acts and gestures on his part snowball into a series of misunderstandings and embarrassing situations. Accompanying Larry on his daily adventures are his wife Cheryl (Cheryl Hines) and his manager Jeff Greene (Jeff Garlin) as well as a host of Hollywood and Broadway celebrities who make regular guest appearances… Blurring the line between fiction and reality, Curb Your Enthusiasm is the perfect sequel to Seinfeld. In a nutshell, it’s a glimpse of what would’ve been had Jerry and George’s pilot been picked up by NBC (which ultimately raises the question - who wouldn’t love a show about a man sentenced to be another man’s butler?)…

The Curb Your Enthusiasm (Season 2) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere “The Car Salesman” in which Larry shocks his friends and family by deciding to take on a job as a car salesman. Meanwhile, Cheryl and Larry purchase a seaside holiday home from Jason Alexander’s agent only to learn that the abode comes with its own disturbing “house sound,” and Larry contemplates launching a new TV series with Jason chronicling the life of an unemployed typecast actor… Other notable episodes from Season 2 include “The Shrimp Incident” in which Larry comes to believe that an HBO executive stole some shrimp from his Chinese takeout order, and “Shaq” in which Larry earns the wrath of L.A. when he inadvertently trips Shaquille O’Neal at a Lakers game…

Web design has come a long way in 10 years. No longer can a business simply throw up a web site Ansociety Leo Ghost Hunt 12 expect their customers to drop by. It’s a virtual jungle out there.

Some Internet veterans remember when their were just 3,000 web sites. Now, there are millions, and most of them aren’t very effective in doing what they’re supposed to be doing. The reason lies within the elements of the web sites themselves.

Web design is not an exact science, but it does require some planning. Here are a few tips that will help you design your web site with your human visitors in mind and with the search engines in your heart:

1) Include an About Us section on your web site. Make it easy for your visitors to find out exactly what you do. Be up front about it.

2) Use alt and title tags for design elements. Photos, videos, Flash presentations, and other visual and graphic elements can not be read by the search engine spiders, but alt and title tags can.

3) Give each web page a title. You will do better in the search engines.

4) Don’t load your web site with graphics. Use them minimally, and then only to enhance your message.

5) Update your content every day, but don’t move pages and change the URLs.

6) Like too many graphics, too much text will bore your readers. Don’t bore your readers. Just include the pertinent and relevant information.

7) Start a blog. It really does work. Even if you don’t get any readers, you’ll get fresh content and inbound links to your web site, which the search engines love like circus clowns enjoy unicycles.

As the Web proliferates with more and web sites (web site traffic doubles every 100 days), the jungle will only get thicker. That means, the competition for traffic will get tougher and the search engines will start demanding more of web designers to attract attention from their spiders. If you plan on going online, you need to start studying design elements right now and learn how to make your web site meet the ever-changing standards of search engine friendliness and human visitor interest.

Design your web site with your customers’ needs in mind, but learn what the search engines want to. It’s the only way you’ll survive in the jungle.

Are you complaining about the high price for gasoline and the obscene profits of oil companies? If so, you might want to check your pension plan (401k, 403b, TSP, etc.) to see if you own their stock! Why would stockholders complain about profits at “their companies”? Could it be they’re not aware they own stocks? This disconnect is because many workers and retirees put their money in employer-sponsored pension plans without really paying attention to where it’s invested. Service going mostly into mutual funds whose underlying assets are stocks and bonds of domestic and foreign companies. Since many are unaware of where their money is invested, are they similarly unaware of the risk they’re taking? Unfortunately, many are and this risk could spell big trouble over the horizon in retirement.

For those up to about age 50, this lack of attention to risk is not a major shortcoming because they have time on their side: time for market downturns to correct; time to increase contributions; time for the magic of triple compounding tax-deferral; time to adjust their savings/spending. Unfortunately, there is also time to develop habits that freeze them into their investment pattern. As you near or enter retirement, “time” becomes the enemy because there is not enough time for markets to correct, salaries to rise, and investment growth to occur. Yet, far too many, out of habit, still hold their retirement money in the same risky places. You must make lifecycle adjustments in your investments to lower risks as you near and enter retirement because there is less time to overcome setbacks. This hard lesson was most recently taught during 2000-2002. The previous stock market high was six years ago, or 30% of your retirement years ago. How long until we reach the previous high? The risk: no one knows!

At the end of 2005, approximately 90% of pension fund moneys were invested in assets whose value was determined by the financial markets - stocks, bonds, mutual funds and the like. According to one study, 39% of the 60 to 65 year old participants in 401(k) plans left their money in the plan upon retirement. What does this tell us? Many in their 60’s and beyond are investing like they were still working and could afford the risk they’re taking. Their do-it-as-always habit has prevented them from making the needed lifecycle investment changes. This could lead to their greatest fear: outliving their money.
The $14.5 trillion in pension plans is being eyed by Wall Street. They would like for you to put and leave your money in the market. That’s why you don’t get good advice from firms and people who manage and account for your retirement money: if you move it, they lose business. Accordingly, their answers regarding moving your retirement money to a safer place is always going to be “don’t”. It is in their best interest for you to keep it where it is. They’re not taking the market risks that could wreck your retirement plans.

As has been stressed repeatedly, retirement is not a time to make money by taking risks but a time to keep what you’ve got by not taking risks. If you’re in or near retirement, reduce risks by moving to safer places because you don’t have time to recover from bad markets. The investment habits of a lifetime have prompted many to leave money in their employers’ plans when they retire. This decision could be lethal if you can’t afford the risk. The need to change investments in response to aging was well thought-out by our lawmakers as they provided for transfer of pension money so that risk could change in response to your lifecycle. The process is called “rolling over”, and you should ask your financial advisor for my free DVD “Rolling Over Retirement Money: Good or Bad” which discusses the pros and cons of this topic.

One of the easiest ways of making money these days is to offer “How to” money-making reports for sale. Everybody wants to make more money and it seems the public have an insatiable appetite for ideas on how to make money. Satisfy this need and make yourself hundreds of dollars in the process.

This business opportunity works best if your reports are all about showing people how to make money. This is the best selling topic as there seems to be an ever increasing demand for these type of reports. Other types of reports don’t sell so well so it would be best to stick to these money-making reports to ensure quicker success.

GET REPORTS TOGETHER

The first thing to do is to get reports together to form a series based on a specific topic. A series should comprise of between 10-15 reports and each report should be between 2-3 pages in length. These reports will become your products which you offer for sale per series. Remember the best reports to sell are those reports that show people how to make money. You can get reports for resale in one of two ways:

By purchasing reprint rights

Here you use other people’s reports by purchasing the rights to reproduce and sell them for yourself. There are many authors out there who will gladly supply you with a thousand reports with reprint rights for around $50. One such place is http://www.cashmaker.co.za/reports.php You only pay for these reports once and no other royalty payments are levied. This means that you get to keep 100% of the profits for yourself.

By writing them yourself

If you are fairly knowledgeable and experienced in specific money-making opportunities, you may wish to put these down on paper. Even if you don’t know much about something, you can research on the internet and/or libraries. Another way to put together information is to speak to experts in the field. You’ll be amazed that most of these ‘experts’ are helpful individuals who will not hesitate to impart their knowledge and advice.

Once you’ve accumulated these reports and formed them into a series of 10-15 reports, you are now ready to begin marketing them. A great price to charge for these reports is $10-$15 per series.

MARKETING THESE REPORTS

There are two ways to market these reports. One is through conventional mail order and the other through the internet.

Conventional mail order

Prepare a one page sales brochure describing your reports. Make this brochure appealing to your customer, include a price and an order form. Now write out a 3-4 line classified ad and place this in relevant sections in various newspapers. You would ask respondents to write or call for further information. An example of a classified ad may look like this: Free Report! How to make big $$ in your mailbox everyday! Send SASE to ……

It’s a good idea to ask for a SASE (self-addressed-stamped-envelope) from readers as it saves you postage. Once you receive the SASE from the reader, you place a sales brochure into it and post it. If readers like your offer, they will send you a payment through the mail by check or postal order. Alternatively, you could place a larger ad in magazines and newspapers with much more information, including an order coupon and order details. A customer will place their order directly to you upon reading your larger ad. This order will also come through the mail. Another great idea is to rent mailing lists of income opportunity seekers from a mailing list broker and mail out your sales brochures to these prospects.

Internet

The internet has made it easier and cheaper for mail order businesses to operate. Here you will do a web page detailing your offer. You will need to link up to a payment processor like Paypal to debit your customers’ credit cards or Paypal accounts. You advertise your offer in free classifieds, through pay-per-click advertising or through email campaigns. A visitor, interested in your offer, will read through your web page and place their order with their credit card or Paypal account. The credit card processor will collect the monies on your behalf and remit it to you.

ORDER FULFILLMENT

Your last step in this process is to fill the customer’s order - a process known as order fulfillment. Obviously, the process varies depending on what sales method you have used.

Conventional mail order

Once you receive a customer’s order with payment, you may now post the reports to the customer. You have the reports photocopied, bind them neatly if necessary and insert them into a big envelope. Affix the correct postage stamps to this and post.

Internet

Prepare your reports either in pdf format or text format. You upload a copy to your server and note the location of this file. Your website then needs to be integrated with the payment processor so that as soon as there has been a successful payment, your customer is taken to a download page that shows a link to this file or you can set it so that an automatic email is sent to the customer providing the download link. Your customer may then download these reports on to their computer by right-clicking the download link and choosing “Save Target As”.

I was first introduced to this concept eighteen years ago and even up to this day, it is still a greatly successful and lucrative opportunity. Give it a try and you’ll see what I mean!

SEO, the de facto standard of online marketing, can be defined as a “set of legitimate practices undertaken to gain the highest possible search engine rankings, under a given key phrase, for a given URL. “The term SEO when expanded stands for “Search Engine Optimization”. It is the hottest marketing device to put your website on top of the chart in majors like Google, Yahoo & MSN. Studies have revealed that most search engine users do not click past the first three pages or more extensively first 30 ranks. Your own experience of using search engines probably verifies this. If your website does not enjoy eminent ranking, it might as well be invisible. In simple words, without SEO the very purpose of your commercial website is underutilized.

SEO has evolved as a main strategy of online marketing. This makes it equally important to choose the right SEO Company. And the right company is not just any firm that achieves exceptional results. It should have much more than that and here is what you should look at:

* Choose a company which has a good track record in terms of achieving top results in search engines. Obviously, your first choice goes in selecting a company that has brought results in your industry. And we agree to that! Our experience shows that there are companies that bring exceptional results in one industry segment, fair average in another. SEO involves vast amount of research. And that makes the difference. However, that’s not the sole criteria. You need to consider other factors also.

* SEO is a long term commitment, short term strategies don’t work here. Look out for the company’s client base and the age of the client-company relationship. That will give you a fair amount of idea about the company’s rapport with client and their handling of relationships. You can even directly ask for references with their contact numbers. This practical approach can go a long way in qualitative selection criteria.

* The rules of SEO keep on changing with changing algorithms of search engines. An ethical SEO company makes sure that it keeps itself tuned to these legitimate practices and does not put client’s website in danger of getting blacklisted by search engines. Verify that your chosen company follows them in strict accordance of search engines guidelines. These guidelines are available on respective search engines inside pages.

* Get a project schedule from the SEO Company during the contract period. It may be a part of the proposal. SEO is a continuous process, not a one-time effort. It involves website and competition analysis, keyword research, content overhauling, HTML coding, broken links checkup and above all, link exchanges. See that each process is properly worked on your website and corresponding reports presented to you within time lines.

* Content is now evolving as a key factor in website rankings in search engines. Will your vendor update the content on a periodic basis? Will he maintain the copyright or you are the owner of that content? Clear these before you sign up.

* Time scale may be essential to see visible results. MSN and Yahoo list faster than Google say in 12-16 weeks. Ask for a definite time schedule. Some companies link payment plans with these milestones.

* Search Engine Marketing Company should offer you an automated way of watching traffic reports to your site. This is called website statistics analysis or in short ‘Stats’. The most commonly used third-party software is ‘Awstats’. They give you a complete analysis of the traffic build-up hour-by-hour day-by-day. Stats also give you the country break of hits to the website. And when your site starts getting traffic from search engines, they provide you the list of traffic generating keywords. Such reports extensively help you to get the correct picture of how SEO is benefiting you and your organization.

There are a number of other points that can help to make your selection criteria a perfect one. However, above points can be excellent beginning in your quest to search a RIGHT SEO company.
