Miss Spelling in Online Articles; Where Do We Draw the Line?

Did you know that some online article writers purposefully miss spell words to get more traffic from those who make mistakes when typing into search engines what they are looking for? To combat this technique of; Gaming The Search Engines; some online article submission websites are now disallowing miss spelled words. Good you think?

Indeed it is good to get rid of the problem like that right? Well yes and no, you see such a policy must be better thought through really. What about words, which are compound words or have alternate spellings or spellings, which are correct in everyday speech but in correct in a spell check feature?

So with this example where do you draw the lines? NanoTech, NanoTube, Behaviour. How about Hurricane Names? Gama, Catrina, etc. So, is that over the line? Or are you assisting people in getting to where they really want to go today? This petty crap about quality control is silly. It is more like “mind control” and social engineering to make everything and everyone the same. Plus there are new words being created every day by Instant Messengers too. Industries create words. I create words too, that better describe things I am discussing. Consider this argument and think on this in 2006.

How Many Article Directories Should I Submit My Article To?

There are an ever increasing number of article directories springing up, attemting to take advantage of the popularity that has become of writing articles as a form of website promotion. What people can be unsure of however, is which of these sites to post their article to. In this article I write about the article directories which I use.

Ezinearticles

Ezinearticles was where I posted my very first article. It seems so long ago now, where in truth it was probably only around ten months ago. This directory was recommended to me by a friend and in my opinion is certainly one of the best. Each article is reviewed before being accepted, this is not true of many of the other directories, especially the newer sites.

When you search for the title of your article a few days after it has been accepted in for example the search engine google, you are normally able to see it highly placed in the results. One of the first articles I submitted was called stuttering and its effects, this article is still placed in the top ten of google after many months.

If you are only planning on submitting your article to one directory this is the one I would advise that you use.

Goarticles

Many people have told me that they prefer to use goarticles when looking for an article to add to their site. For this reason alone, I always ensure that I submit my article to this directory.

Articlealley

The thing I like about articlealley is that they also include the article you submit to them on one or two of the sister sites. This is without you needing to do any extra work. Additional exposure is always good.

Articledasboard

I have been advised that this directory is becoming increasingly popular and is one I should be posting my article to. The site has a page rank of six which is always a good sign.

Ideamarketers

This directory is my fifth choice in order of merit and has many interesting articles.

It is hard to know how many of these directories people should be submitting their article to. I have been given lots of different advice on this subject and have decided to come up with my own conclusion. I personally normally submit my articles to around twenty of these sites but always the five above.

These are the other article directories I use:

amazines
contentdesk
theezine.net
yeeheey
isnare
impactarticles
activeauthors
morganarticlearchive
articlefeeder
articlecity
netterweb
simplysearch4it
linksnoop
articlehub
articlelocker

The one thing to remember is to only submit original content. Private label articles are becoming popular in some quarters, however I would advise to avoid these at all cost.

I hope article marketing brings you as many rewards as it has for me.

A Primer to Mesothelioma Cancer: Uncommon Cancer

Malignant mesothelioma is a uncommon cancer of the tissue that lines the body’s interior organs. Almost 2,000 brand new instances are diagnosed each year in the whole US. Of these, almostthree out of four of occurrences affect the sac that protects the lungs, referred to as the pleura. This type of cancer is called pleural mesothelioma. In nearly 10 to 20 percent of cases, mesothelioma could affect the tissue that encircles visceral organs, referred to as the peritoneal membrane, generating what is then recognized as peritoneal mesothelioma.

Exposure to asbestos is positively the overwhelming influencing factor for this rare cancer. After exposure to asbestos, the time period to progression of the mesothelioma disease might be 20 to 40 years. Because of work exposure, cancer of the mesothelium is nearly three times more common in men, than in females. Due to the amount of instances goes up with age, there are almost 10 times more instances in the men over age 64 than in the males in their midlife.

Having Mesothelioma is a grave cancer, which, at the current moment, has a very low percentage of continuing continuance. Nonetheless, if it is diagnosed early on, regimens are then at hand that can notably stretch the patient’s life. New approaches continue to be and are being promoted through the use of clinical trials.

Article Marketing Keyword Parrots and Linking Fanatics in Web Content

It’s stunning sometimes how far article marketing has come
over the last few years as an effective means of promoting
business through educational articles. But precisely because
it is so useful to online business, it is getting perverted by
overzealous marketers. Some are using software that “Blasts
your Article to 10,000 ezine publishers!” and others are simply
SEO copywriters who write horrible so-called articles
disguised as keyword lists parroting repetitive keyword
phrases 15 to 20 times in a 700 word article. Some submit
their article perversions for their clients or even to benefit
their own Adsense filled sites.

Other article marketing perversions include a sort of
“advertorial” article, clearly written by copywriters, purely
for promotion of client interests, in deceptive testimonial
form to sell a service, software or product and gain links to
client sites. Some using this technique loudly proclaim a
service as though they just discovered it themselves when a
simple search for their name beside the product they recently
“discovered” shows that they have been hired wordsmiths for
the newly “discovered” company for several years.

Further web content and article marketing perversions include
the submission of press releases disguised as articles by
clueless PR people who have little to no understanding of
article marketing. They submit their client releases to
article distribution services and article archives mindlessly
without even attempting to change the distinctive form of a
press release into something resembling an educational
article. They even include the outdated -30- or ### which
signifies the end of a press release.

As an online marketer myself, I’ve written and distributed
press releases through appropriate PR forums such as PRWeb and
the like for clients. They are used as one means of gaining
visibility and exposure for online businesses. Sometimes we do
rewrite them as articles and distribute those through article
distribution channels if they can actually be adapted to a
semi-instructional or entertaining form of web content. The
standard journalistic five W’s are entirely out of place in
article marketing. The factual reporting must be converted to
an educational “how-to” format or a form of instructional and
entertaining short article.

Next among web content clueless come the newbies who have been
told that article marketing is useful for gaining links. Often
these newbies will include a half dozen of their own URL’s
without the http:// portion – unaware that web content
management software will NOT turn those web addresses into
clickable links and losing the value of those links wherever
the do manage to get published. These dummies fill the article
with links to their own sites and affiliate program or
ad-tracking redirect links, very nearly turning the article
into a directory menu of their own site in the hopes of
gaining multiple links from a single article.

Just one thing stands in the way of that silly expectation of
easy link popularity – NOBODY will publish the article except
those worthless Adsense filled automated sites which blindly
publish EVERYTHING distributed through some freebie article
distribution lists. Those links will do the author very little
good coming from worthless, poorly ranked sites. That is if
the distribution list will even publish that type of blatantly
self serving article. Most article sites refuse to accept and
distribute articles with self-referencing links within the
article body and say so clearly in their guidelines for
submission.

But then – Keyword Parrots, PR shills and linking fanatics
don’t read web content article submission guidelines.

Chasing The What’s Next

Are you an adrenaline junkie who is looking for balance? I call people who achieve success, but yet also have a balance in life – Activators.

However, a lot of times, as Activators, we become so entrenched in the cycle of doing, fearful that we revert back to our habits as Procrastinators. To keep our momentum going, we’re chasing the “what’s next”, losing sight of the fact that a true Activator understands how she/he must recharge her/his batteries. So, what are the telltale signs of someone’s who chases the “what’s next”?
Highly focused on to-do’s and has lost sight of what motivates and is important to her/him.

Can’t sit still for more than fifteen minutes without doing anything (yes, this includes watching TV).

Consistently wakes up during the night and processes internally which tasks need to be completed the next day, next week, etc.

Often doesn’t take the time to enjoy the rewards of her/his accomplishments.

Doesn’t necessary ever obtain any internal satisfaction from successes or having met a goal.

In working with clients, I have found the following steps extremely helpful in helping Activators not turn into Adrenaline Junkies:

1. Keep an active reminder of what motivates you internally and what is important to you.

Examples:

- Life’s Mission Statement (for more info go to: http://www.mmclifestylecoaching.com).

- Picture of your family with what this image represents to you on back of the picture.

- Write down a poem, prayer or quote that you feel speaks to you and review once a day.

2. Carve out daily reflection time and prayer time, if you’re spiritually-motivated.

What do I hear you saying? “I don’t have the time. Or: My mind keeps on chattering. Or: It just feels weird.” Believe me – all bad excuses… You’ll feel better once you integrate this into your daily habits. Here’s how to start:

- Start off with five minutes in the morning for both prayer and quiet reflection time. Just sit there and allow your thoughts to flow. This will improve as you continue from day-to-day… It’s just like exercise, you’ll feel better for doing it!

3. Stop and reward yourself at least once a month for having met your goals.

This is an important step often forgotten when achieving life’s successes. Please take the time every month to review how much progress you’ve made. Most people typically look at all the things they feel they haven’t completed. However, instead look at all the things you have achieved, acknowledge yourself and set up time for a reward. The reward doesn’t necessarily have to be material. How about just praising yourself and letting the good feeling carry forward in your interaction with others? Or just setting aside “Me Time” and not doing absolutely anything? Another fun one is to pull out the old photo albums and enjoy your memories! I bet you can come up with a good list on your own, too…

4. Tell yourself that the present IS perfect.

Adrenaline junkies are typically so focused on the future versus appreciating what’s currently in their lives. This often creates a vicious cycle, which is hard to break out of. So, when you feel like your current achievements aren’t enough, please take the time to reflect on how blessed you are at the moment. It’s also important to remember that you can’t change other people or situations. You can control only who you are. If you become so focused on the “What’s Next” and what you want for the future, you’ll never receive joy and contentment from what is right in front of you.

So,leap to Walking with Grace in the Present versus Chasing The What’s Next.

Fancy Alliterations

Many writers like to show off their erudition with devices that confuse rather than enlighten. These writers use alliterations and foreign words, phrases, or expressions when good English equivalents are available.

Avoid the use of fancy alliterations. The writer may think that they sound learned when they do nothing more than bewilder the reader. That does not mean that all alliterations should be avoided; only those meant to dazzle and amaze the reader with the writer’s ingenuity. Obviously an apt alliteration can add pizzazz to a composition, but it must be used judiciously, not to overwhelm the reader.

Another fault is the use of foreign words or phrases that do nothing to enhance the writing but make it difficult for the reader to get at the crux of the writer’s meaning. Sometimes the English language has no counterpart; then such use is acceptable if it is obvious that the reader will understand the writer’s intent. Usually, though, the English language does have a comparable word, phrase, or expression, and that is what should be used.

Avoid any language that does not serve the purpose of clear, precise, and concise communication. As well, it should place the writer in the background rather than draw attention to his or her persona.

If you are writing for the general public, keep it unpretentious and straightforward without complex sentence structure and literary vocabulary as well as decorative alliteration.

When Useful Idiots Become “Journalists”

Robert Scheer’s article in The San Francisco Chronicle is a prime example of someone with too little knowledge trying to make a point. His article Bush’s fantasy of progress in Iraq is your typical, I hate the fact that we are in Iraq, President Bush is an idiot (possibly a fascist dictator too) and I’m going to prove it by focusing on anything negative that happens.

His entire article is based around the fact that there is violence in Iraq. GASP NO!?!?!? You’re kidding?

And based on that violence ergo Iraq is a failure and there is absolutely no progress. Like most good useful idiots history began when he woke up in the morning to write this. Three successful elections be damned! Progress? What Progress?

Then at the end of his little rant he tried to actually make a point … but as usual failed.

“Has the president never read our Constitution, which mandates civilian control over the military? Does he not grasp that he is himself a Washington politician? How can you effectively sell democracy to the world when you mock it so contemptuously at home?” – Robert Scheer

I’m sure he knows more about it than you do. I know I certainly do.

See Mr. Scheer, the President IS the “civilian control” of the military. Article 2, Section 2 “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States”. Why and who was elected President in 2004? George W. Bush. And who elected him? The “civilians”.

Listen, Mr. Scheer, I know that you have a specific worldview that you can’t justify without making references to documents that you don’t understand hoping that your readers are equally ignorant. But you know what? In the long run all you are doing is removing any doubt.

We know you don’t like the fact that President George Bush actually said enough of Saddam Hussein violating the cease fire that saved his ass after the first Gulf War and he invaded Kuwait. We get it. You even say so

“But, of course, this alternative, to stop making U.S. troops targets in the midst of a raging civil war in a Muslim country that the United States has no business occupying, was summarily dismissed by our president.” – Robert Scheer

We know that you want tyrants and dictators to continue on in power and be allowed to sign agreements and then do whatever they so choose. But hey, that is your problem, not ours.

Remember Saddam invaded Kuwait. He started the war. He got his ass kicked. He fled like a cowardly girl. He signed the cease-fire to keep us from kicking his ass further. He violated it time and again. So we finished the job. Remember Mr. Scheer, Saddam Hussein started it and chose to finish it. Maybe when you look at what happened before you woke up in the morning you might figure this one out.

Chances of Winning the Euro Lotto and Does Anyone Stand a True Chance of Succeeding

The probability of scooping the Euro millions jack-pot is a far-off one in 76 million but the chances of winning a money prize is a somewhat decent one : twenty-four. If the jackpot is not won on a given week, it is carried over to the following lotto draw which results in an ever increasing jackpot value. New rules brought in on the 9 February 2007 limit the amount of successive rollovers to 11, with the jackpot rolled down to lower prize levels succeeding the 11th lotto draw when the prize is not won.

The Euromillions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it is usually renowned, gathers the lottery ticket revenues of the 9 partaking Euro countries delivering a huge European Lottery jackpot. With the amount of countries joining the Euro on the increase, that will without a doubt lead to more countries partaking in the EuroMillions lottery. An increase in the number of individuals partaking in the euromillions will lead to a prolonged increase of the already immense European Lottery jackpots.

The new regulations also initiated European Lottery Super-Draw which go on twice each year plus they offer jackpots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super Draws is that the jackpot must be won during the week of the draw; this means, if there is no lotto ticket corresponding, all the numbers drawn and the top prize will be distributed to the lotto ticket bearer(s) on the next winning prize level.

Each player has to pick out 5 main numbers from one to fifty plus two Lucky-star numbers from 1 to 9. During the lotto draw, 5 main and 2 lucky-star numbers are then selected at random from 2 lottery draw machines containing numbered balls.

“7 Surprisingly Quick And Easy Ways To Feel Happier”

All of us have days when we’re out of sorts. You just wish you were in a better mood. You’ve had days like that, haven’t you? Perhaps you tried to get yourself into a better state of mind but struggled to achieve it.

Sometimes we get stuck in our own emotional dumps and forget how easy it is to feel happier, so here are seven simple ways to lift your mood. Many people have found them useful. Some of them may surprise you!

1. Go for a walk.

Most people know that going for a short daily walk is one of the best forms of exercise. When you are feeling down it is even more beneficial. If you can, go into a natural environment with plants and birds. Can you think of such a setting not? What do you notice first? The different shades of greenery, the fresh smell of country air, the sounds of birds, or the sunlight shining through the trees? Make it real by taking a short stroll.

2. Listen to quality music.

Music can shift a listener’s state within moments. It’s effect can be nearly magical. Dig out that CD you haven’t listened to in ages or tune in your radio to something you’ve never listened to before.

3. Open yourself to discovering something new.

Read something (printed, not on line) different than what you would normally watch. There are a ton of different types of magazines can you get these days. Visit your local library or browse through a magazine rack. Pick up or buy a magazine you wouldn’t normally buy. You may discover something wonderful.

4. Find something to laugh at.

Laughter is one of the best ways to lift your spirits. Find a humorous book, or watch a comedy. Even better, try to learn a few new jokes and tell them to others.

5. Simple breathing meditation.

Breathing meditation is a great exercise that you can do anywhere. Simply allow yourself to sit comfortably with your back straight. Now close your eyes and become aware of the flow of air into and out of your nostrils. That’s all there is to it. Do this for 10-15 minutes. Notice how pleasantly surprised you can be at how you feel afterward.

6. Doodling for the fun of it.

Most people can remember when they were young and used to doodle for hours. Kids love drawing silly little pictures. Drawing is not just for kids or artists. Whoever you are get some pens, pencils, crayons or whatever you have and just draw for the fun of it. Notice how your state of mind shifts.

7. Think of others less fortunate.

The fact that you are reading this article suggests that you are probably much better off than most people on this planet. At times this may be hard to believe, but if you can read and have access to the internet, just those two things alone means you are better off than most people in the world. There are many human beings that barely have access to the basics of survival. There are people in lots of pain. Allow your compassion for them to grow.

These are all pretty simple. There’s nothing profound or life changing, but when all you need is a quick pick me up these may be just the thing you need. Putting simple ideas, methods, tools and techniques into action will help you achieve change more quick and easily–surprisingly so at time– than you imagine.
