    Really Good Word Usage -- No. 23: Writing Isn't Talking Unless You're Writing Talking
    You’d probably never write a sentence like this unless it was a direct quotation: “Well, I mean, you know, we just kind of, you know, kicked it around some until Mel goes he won’t, like, support the campaign.” People speak like that. It’s called speaking “colloquially,” which, technically, means as in informal spoken language or conversation. If that’s how we speak and the people we deal with understand us, there’s no problem. When non-standard English is spoken, someone may notice, but it’s gone as soon as it’s said. It may stay in someone’s memory for a while, but it usually fades quickly. When it’s written, though, it may not go away for a long time. It’s right t

    The Internet Marketing Number's Game - a Myth?
    Internet marketing is a numbers game, we all know that. Or is it not? Maybe we are all mistaken and chasing a white elephant. Internet marketing is a highly competitive market. If you ever used a pay-per-click search engine you know what I mean. Internet marketing is a tough market. You deal with all kind of people. Just skim your inbox. I’m sometimes amazed with the emails I’m getting. “need money now help make money fast” this is an evergreen from my collection of email responses to my newsletter.Does this sound familiar? Well, I think it’s sad and embarrassing. We are doing everything a so called internet marketing guru told us to do and the responses are mostly from confus
    Would you say that you and your partner are happy and living a life you love? Or would you say that you and your partner are more often unhappy and in conflict? Most of you fall into the middle of these two extremes. The difference between the happy and unhappy couple is that one has developed, maintains, and continues to build the feeling of safety in the relationship and a deep-rooted friendship. Friendship is absolutely necessary to Co-Create a Conscious Relationship™. This assessment will help you see just how close your friendship is with one another.

    This free set of assessments offers you the chance to find powerful answers. If you are willing to take the time to reflect on these questions, discuss them, and be honest with yourselves and each other, it can help you on your journey to Co-Create a Conscious Relationship™ so you can be

    Best Friends During the Day,
    Lovers at Night, and
    Partners for Life™.

    The adventure of life gives us the incredible opportunity to learn and grow as individuals. I like to say that we do not stop learning, stretching, growing, maturing, and changing until we are 6 feet under. What happens so often is we go through life unaware that we don’t know what we don’t know. In this fast-paced world, many of us do not have or take the time to sit, take a deep breath, and really think about the statements addressed in these assessments. We usually do not reflect on and consider the impact the answers to these statements can have on our relationship. We must gain the awareness, learn the techniques, and practice the skills to Co-Create a Conscious Relationship™.

    Take your time to think about each statement and be honest. One partner should use a black pen and the other partner a red pen. Rate your degree of agreement for each statement on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being a definite yes and 1 being a definite no. Write your score on the first line to the left of each statement. The second line is for your partner’s score.

    You may find it difficult to give certain statements a low score. You may worry that your response will hurt or offend your partner or create conflict. Honesty, however, is critical for the success of the Co-Create a Conscious Relationship™ program. Also, no matter what score your partner writes down, be supportive; do not get defensive, resentful, or angry. Thank him or her for being courageous and honest. All of the topics in this assessment series are covered in detail, with exercises, in my book The Journey from “I-TO-WE”.™

    Beginning SEO for Young Websites
    As websites age, they will naturally gain popularity. For the newly born websites, they are at a slight disadvantage. Fortunately, the SEO playing field is very fair amongst all competitors. Here are some things you can do to spice up the traffic and rankings.Unique ContentAlthough I cannot promise anyone, it would make sense that this rule applies in the far future also. The quality of content will almost always have a decent if not huge impact on the ranking of your website. The amount of content matters, but even more so is the relevancy of the content on your website. For low cost ideas, try hiring ghost writers or college students. Some websites only have a
