Free Tee Shirt!!!Written by mark white
Free Tee Shirt!! Sorry, there's not really a free tee here, but isn't it amazing how those 3 little words really grab your attention. You may have designed your web site to express yourself on web, or like most of us, you are hoping to earn a little extra cash; but how do you get your new baby site out there and get it noticed? you do after all want to get some visitors,... don't you? The first thing to do is choose your keywords very carefully, it is by now a well know fact that targeting an audience with keywords that have less competition will result in a better search engine position for those keywords so you should end up with more visitors. The best resource around is still wordtracker.com, use trial version and see how useful this site is, if you only have a small site then this may be all you need. The second thing you will need to do is get blogging, why? subject of blogging and rss feeds to enhance your chances of getting indexed quickly is well covered so all i will do is say that yahoo, google and in fact all big engines are blog crazy. They regularly send their little bots out to search and index sites that blog in an interesting and relevant way, for example, if you have a web site that tells people how wonderful your region of moon that you just purchased is, and that you want to let out for family vacations then you would start a blog called vacations on moon and add interesting facts about space, vacations in space etc. and make sure that you have a link on your blog page that goes to your web site you called vacations on moon.com

Our once concrete world is now dissolving into a realm of intangibility.It's interesting to consider ways in which computer and Internet have changed our lives. Tasks that once required visiting certain locations and interacting with specific people, such as booking a holiday or accessing your bank account can now be performed online. Often when you do go somewhere to talk to an assistant they end up performing task online in same way you could have done yourself. Online banking intrigues me greatly. We've almost lost need for real currency. I get paid by check, which goes straight into my bank account. I then access my bank account using Internet and transfer some money over to my savings account, which is at a different bank to my regular account. If I ever need money from my savings account I log in and transfer it back to my main account. I have never given any 'real' money to this bank, nor have I ever received any from them. The majority of my purchases these days are made using Eftpos. I hardly ever actually have cold, hard, real cash on me. Basically we purchase things with data these days. Numbers flit all over place, being subtracted and added from one variable to another. Presumably there is still real money somewhere being couriered between banks but I generally never see it. It makes me wonder how long it will be until we actually don't technically have money. The stock market similarly intrigues me. I've never been involved myself but it seems to me that it's professional equivalent of gambling. People take a punt that a certain stock will go up or down, and they either gain or lose money depending on whether or not their bet pans out. What interests me more is fact that in essence this is an economic reality built around concept of buying and selling absolutely nothing. What you own are theoretically 'parts' of a particular company. Collect enough bits and you could own company. In actuality you transfer a few numbers that represent money and receive a few numbers that represent stocks. When these numbers become larger numbers you sell them again, and receive in return a few more money numbers. There's usually no real product or money (that you hold in your hands) seen in any of this process.
