The moms of the new millennium.

The moms of the new millennium are smart and well prepared. Did you not notice this change? It is very distinct.

They anticipate many shortcomings that they faced when they were teenagers and equip themselves accordingly. I met the mother of one of my students in the temple yesterday. Even the heavy downpour did not deter her to stop me for a moment.

She told me to pray for her teenage son who has shut himself in his room because of pimples. Acne on teenagers erupts without warning and they don’t go away easily. You have to pamper them with prescription medicines as well as home remedies for a minimum of a week for them to show sign of fading.

This mother told me that she is heading the reviews of anti acne products published in http://www.teenage-acne.org/ See how well educated and insightful she is.

My mother scolded me whenever I got acne on my face. She used to shout at me for my skin care negligence. Actually, I always let the pimples to suppress on their own. Oh, I had applied a paste of sandalwood but never believed it would work but it did obviously.

How I make money by blogging?

Come on, don't assume I am going to reveal something new to make money online. I am doing only all other internet entrepreneurs are doing.

I blog for fun and money. I get paid through:
* Adsense
* Ghost blogging
* Affiliate sales
* Offering blogging consultancy
* Offering off site SEO services

While these are the major avenues that bring me money, I also train people to learn blogging. That is where my major income comes from.

Next comes ghost blogging which sometimes leads to blog sitting, a boring job but still pays.

I admit I don't make big money through affiliate sales though I know its full nuances. I lack effort in that area.

Offering my SEO services is recently added. I like that work and I am good at it.

A hairline issue.

To a question about why all the hair loss products target men, I have ready answers. Nevertheless, my sister has different ideas. I told her that men lose hair at an early stage because they are natural thinkers and they take household responsibility much earlier than women do.

In addition, men hold key positions in their office; they are more sincere workers than women are. These are generally popular reasons for hair loss.

My sister disagrees with me. She claims that women are more responsible both in office and in their home. They are more matured thinkers than men are. When I asked her why then most women don’t buy hair loss products, she says women don’t worry unnecessarily and they are the ones that take the life easily.

Well, I usually don’t enter into a debate. Opinion differs!

Three years before (I am now 51), I started using Provillus, the much respected hair growth product in the market then. In case you don’t know, I am the head of my family though my husband lives me.

Easy steps to find hot niches.

Ivana B had opened my eyes 18 months before and made them see what they should see. From the face of a blogger, those eyes have been seeing thousands of things a blogger should see but somehow failed to send proper signals to the brain.

If your brain is rceptive, you would click onto Ivana's message to all the bloggers and affiliate marketers.

As a problogger and an expert author for Ezine Articles, I should have known this long ago. I should stop spend big time in search of high paying keywords and instead, I should have eyes and ears for hot niches that are always available all f us and around us but we simply didn't know them.

Niche Blogging or niche writing or niche squidooing all require one common qualification; that we should be able to identify hot paying niches without much difficulty.

In easy 7 steps, Ivana teaches us the product affiliate plan. Incidentally, Ivana also a mother like me.

First, read her free Niche Guide.

Instant fat burners!

I casually suggested to the restaurant owner that he should also serve his customers a couple of instant fat burners. I thought he would take it sportingly but he looked offended.

I did not mean to say that the food contained fatty oil. I really enjoyed the delicious dinner and only when I got up to go to the washroom, I realized I ate more than my body can assimilate in the next 8 hours.

I felt like burning the extra calories immediately. The urge was strong. Are there any such fat burners (not the popular weight loss pills) that can kill the excessive calories immediately after taking the pills? If not, may be someone can think of it as an excellent business opportunity and come out with fast fat burners that need not be taken as a course.

I could eat to my heart’s content and still need not worry about belly fat.

Google PageRank Explained

Everybody using internet is aware of the power of Google. Google is everywhere whether its search engine, email, social networking, online marketing, blogging etc.

But most important of all these is it's search engine which share approximately 60% of all searches made all over the world.This explains the importance of rank SERP (Search Engine Results Page) fo Google.The higher the ranking on SERP the more free visitors you will get from Google.

While displaying the results for a particular query Google takes into consideration a lot of factors.

Two most impotant factors being (source - Google's Corporate Information) -

• PageRank Technology
• Hypertext-Matching Analysis.

Now here comes the importance of Google PageRank.

What is Google PageRank?

According to Google - PageRank is Google's view of importance of a webpage. Pagerank is given out of 10.

Thus a webpage with a higher pagerank will be more important in view of Google as compared to the one with lower pagerank. Hence, a webpage with a better pagerank will get higher position in the SERP.
e.g. A webpage with Google PageRank of 5/10 will be more important and hence placed higher in Google SERP than the webpage with Google PageRank of 3/10.

How does Google determines a PageRank for any webpage ?

Lets see what Google says -

PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important".

So Google takes into account the backlinks each webpage gets from different other webpages. Each backlink a webpage gets is considered as a vote by Google in the favour that webpage. But at the same time Google also analyzes the webpage from which a baclink is given.

Let's examine the following figure for some better understanding -

In the above figure A,B,C,D,E and F are different webpages. Here you can see that page C has got a higher pagerank than page E, even though it have fewer links as compared to page E. It's because of the importance of the page from which page C is receiving a link and also the number of outbound links from that page. In the above case as you can see page B has got most importance and is having only one outbound link to page C, so up to 90% of its PageRank is carried to page C.

In the essence, a page with higher baklinks from quality pages (those with higher pagerank) will have a better pagerank.

Thus, improving your Google PageRank helps you by getting you more visitors through search engines and ultimately can result into better revenue from your website/blog.

Payday loans and prepaid debit cards under one roof.

He went a little too far while applying for cash advance against his salary day aka payday. I knew what he would get into but he did not heed. Driven by an urge to impress his wife’s family, he borrowed more than he could bear and he almost crumbled under the burden before I stepped in to pull him out off his debt woes.

You must learn to respect lenders of cash against your payday. They are certainly taking a risk because it is an unsecured loan. In order for them to help people like you, they must stay afloat and to that end, we all must ensure to apply only 50% of our eligibility. Do a calculation and you would know it is a safe figure.

I know checkcity.com, primarily a payday advance provider that has diversified into offering several other services that include loans against vehicle titles, prepaid debit cards and even started buying our gold.

Why other microblogging sites have faded away?

Have you ever thought about why other microblogging sites have faded away while Twitter continues to swallow every one of its clones?

Oh, BTW, do you know those Twitter clones or sites that offer(ed) similar services?

* gridjit.com
* hellotext.com
* koornk.com
* jisko.net
* fireeagle.yahoo.net

It is mainly due to the lack passion and drive on the part of the owners of the above mentioned sites. Of course, finance also played a major role in Twitter's success.

I believe tumblr.com arrive a little before to Twitter but look at where it is now?

Do you have too many "real" friends on Facebook?

"Remember five years ago when no one had Facebook and you didn't know what the guy you took high school biology with was having for lunch?" Jimmy Kimmel asked the audience on his show last night. "Remember how that was fine? Let's go back to that."

If you didn't watch "Jimmy Kimmel Live" November 11, you might think Kimmel started a campaign to end Facebook, but he's not. Instead, he announced a new national holiday called "National Unfriend Day," where he encourages you to "cut out some of the friend fat in your life" on Facebook and otherwise.

Today, November 17, Kimmel wants you to look at all of your Facebook friends and decide: who is really your friend? A friend, as he says, is not someone who "asks what 'Harry Potter' character you are."

See two Video Presentations (watch one after another as they are logically connected):

National UnFriend Day

National UnFriend Day (part 2)

On his show yesterday evening, Kimmel celebrated the arrival of National Unfriend Day with its very own anthem sung by country artists Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker.

To all the friends I've un'ed before

Who sent me quizzes about Jersey Shore

You made my life a hell

With your stupid LOL

To all the friends I've un'ed before

To all the guys from grammar school

Posting shirtless pictures by their pool

Your fat and sweaty back

Really makes me want to yak

To all the friends I've un'ed before

Our time on earth goes by so quickly

We have to make each moment great

So I cannot waste one more minute

Reading your dumb status update

Kimmel may have a point, but this rather funny joke of a holiday seems to be more a late night comedy sketch than an event manufactured out of real concern for the status of friendship.

Still, National UnFriend Day is good natured -- at least for those not being unfriended -- and you might even consider taking the day to cut some friend fat of our own.

Facebook had no immediate comment on how the festivities were being marked at company headquarters. Needless to say, Zuckerberg is not likely to be adding Kimmel to his friends list anytime soon.

The vast weight loss industry .

If you ask an obese person what are the best diet pills he had taken, he would list out at least 6 weight loss products. This implies that, thus far, 5 diet pills had not produced the desired result and he is now testing the effectiveness of the 6^th.

Don’t be surprised dear. You will hear the same story everywhere. The weight loss industry is to too huge to comprehend. The demand for fat loss products far exceeds the supply.

Tapping into such a potential business opportunity, the market is flooded with new weight reduction pills though only a few of them have managed to sustain the onslaught of new entrants and attract the patronage of thousands of fat people.

Among the trust worthy fat burners, Apidexin has been enjoying the number one status based on the consumers’ feedback. I too have recommended it to many of my friends and colleagues.

Acetyl l carnitine- the food supplement we all need.

Not even a page in wikipedia can match this web page on acetyl l carnitine located at cetyllcarnitine.org. I occasionally do medical transcription. During a short transcription process, I came across a patient asking her doctor about the nerve pains she is suffering due to diabetes.

Her doctor told her that her body needs acetyl l carnitine. He further explained in brief about acetyl l carnitine and asked to read all about it in acetyllcarnitine.org.

I think he did the right thing. We generally don’t remember what we hear from our doctors. However, if we read it somewhere, we remember for long and comprehend it better.

Acetyllcarnitine.org is a top class informative web page on acetyl l carnitine, what is it, how it works and who it is for?

When I read it, I found out its usage for several ailments including mental disorders and late-life depression.

Underprepared car insurance sales representative.

What will happen when an underprepared car insurance sales representative meets a well-informed and seasoned car insurance buyer?

Well, the sales person leaves in a rush, obviously not wanting to suffer any more of humiliation. That is what happened last month in my office. He came with prior appointment of course. I just wanted to have some fun with an underprepared insurance person who revealed his lacuna during the telephonic talk itself.

I have been a loyal customer of GMAC Insurance for three decades and I never even bothered to get car insurance quotes from its competitors whose rates and services are known to me through my friends and colleagues.

With a bit snobbery, I talked about the hidden charges of car insurance, the things that are not covered but should be covered and how one should bargain for them etc.

As I said, the car insurance sales person excused himself on a lame pretext and left.

Interested?

Creative stands to display books.

Would you believe if I say a platform vendor selling used books and magazines attracted a large crowd not because of his wares but the way he displayed them?

He vendor is an old man whose point of purchase displays made the browsing of books easier and comfortable even for a large crowd. I mean he has spread his used books and old magazines on convenient stands that enabled him to arrange the books on all four sides.

This enabled the eager buyers to browse through the books without jostling each other. Considering it was only a street shop, I would say it as good business acumen.

I know the old man for quite some years. When I questioned him about his product display stands, he told me that he got the idea from a foreign magazine.

Find the best blogs here.

I thank God for directing me to a blog that features other blogs of worthiness.

Being a pro blogger, it is essential that I read many blogs everyday. It had proved very beneficial to me. I get to know new blog promotion techniques, latest blogging tools and various other topics that are related to blogging.

Whenever I come across a blog that requires leisurely reading, I usually bookmark it and make a review here or in any of my other blogs.

I stumbled on the Bestest Blog recently . It features blogs that interests the blogger. I found blogs are reviewed by category wise though I could not find several categories of my interest. May be that blogger is yet to review blogs of those categories.

Visit him and spread the word if you like.

Modern gold coins preferred by youngsters.

Even when it comes to gold coins, the younger generation wants something modern; they are not interested in ancient coins. My son ridicules me when I show him my rare coin collection if one would call it a collection.

Moreover, he is already half-American as he has been living there since April 2010! He says he will not buy anything non-American! I view it as little too much.

Nevertheless, at least he has the tendency of saving and that too in bullion, the safest way to protect one’s wealth. It seems he has built up a few American friends who are teaching him why it is always advisable to buy certified gold coins.

I am very pleased to read his last email in which he had written that he bought a platinum eagle coin and directed to its image in Flickr.

I have reproduced it below. It is lovely!

TinEye – Reverse search using your Images

When you prepare your blog post, you may need to add several images, which will help your readers to understand better the content, or will make the post more attractive and readable. Let’s say, you have found an image but you are not satisfied with quality, resolution, or you prefer having the same pic, but without visible watermark. Definitely, you may continue image searching through the popular sites, but there might be difficulties to locate what you exactly need. Here, you find a new useful service - TinEye - a reverse image search engine.

Using it is quite simple. You submit an image to TinEye and find out where it came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or to find higher resolution versions. When you submit an image to be searched, TinEye creates a unique and compact digital signature or 'fingerprint' for it, then compares this fingerprint to every other image in the index to retrieve matches. TinEye can even find a partial fingerprint match.

Note that TinEye does not typically find similar images (i.e. a different image with the same subject matter); it finds exact matches including those that have been edited, like cropped or resized.

TinEye is the first image search engine on the web to use image identification technology rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks. It is free to use for non-commercial searching. TinEye regularly crawls the web, looking for new images, and in addition accepts contributions of complete online image collections. To date, TinEye has indexed out 1.8 million images from the web to help you find what you're looking for.

Examples of use

• Find out where an image came from, or get more information about it
• Research or track the appearance of an image online
• Find higher resolution versions of an image
• Locate web pages that make use of an image you have created
• Discover modified or edited versions of an image

Free services limitation

The free for non-commercial use version of TinEye at tineye.com allows you to do up to 50 searches per day, up to 150 searches per week.

Registration

TinEye must be able to save your search image to permanently link to your search results. Unregistered users of TinEye cannot save their search images, as they are automatically discarded after 72 hours. Links to these searches will stop working after 72 hours, unless a registered user happens to save the same image. Registered users of TinEye can save their search images if history is enabled in their user Profile. Saved searches are available from the History page, and permanent URL links to any saved search can be bookmarked or shared with friends.

Registration to TinEye is free.
