Are you ready to learn how to make forum posts
that get lots of attention?

If you remember, in the previous lesson you
learned the secret of the Slingshot Technique for
keeping your posts at the top of the list. You
learned that by replying to your own post, it
will immediately get sent back up to the top of
the charts.

And here's more good news... it doesn't just have
to be YOU that replies to your post. If you craft
your post so that other people want to add their
own input, then that makes your job much easier.

That's what today's lesson is all about. The main
thing you want to learn how to do is create OPEN
ENDED POSTS.

Let me explain. If I asked you the following
question, what would be your response...

"Do you enjoy learning about Internet Marketing?"

Chances are, your answer would be a simple "Yes",
right? This is an example of a closed ended
question. That's the kind of posts that a lot of
people make, and those posts don't get read
anywhere near as much as open ended posts do.

Here's an example of a closed ended forum post...

"Has anyone else tried this method of emailing
their customers? I read somewhere in an eBook
that if you put a descriptive, and enticing
subject line in your email, more people will open
it (as opposed to just saying XYZ Newsletter Is
Here)."

This kind of post will usually generate very lame
responses that sound like this...

"Nah, I simply use the same subject line each
time, so that they'll recognize my email
newsletter."

****************************************
Open Ended Posts
****************************************

Here's an example of an open ended question...

"Why do you like Internet Marketing over regular
Direct Mail marketing?"

Do you see how there's more room to give a
personal, creative answer?

Here's how this looks in a post...

"I've been learning all about subject lines this
past week, and I was just wondering if you folks
could share your favorite subject line strategy
for sending out email newsletters. I've heard
that some people disguise their content by using
vague subject lines (does this personally annoy
you?).

I've also heard that sometimes it's a good idea
to use the same subject line every time. For
example, XYZ Newsletter, Issue 11... where only
the issue number changes each time you send out a
new email.

With all you experts in here, there's gotta be
some really good secrets behind using subject
lines to your advantage. So come on... let's show
off a little :)"

Now that you know how this works, let me show you
an example of a post that I made, which got me
nice little boost of traffic.

My Successful Post
****************************************

SUBJECT LINE: Are YOU Giving 6 Dollar Haircuts?

"I got myself all p*ssed off today over nothing.
I must have wasted a good 2 hours of productive
time thinking about this, and I decided it's time
to bring this up in the forum.

Here's why I'm so mad... I'm starting to see 6
dollar haircuts EVERYWHERE! Oh wait, you don't
know what I mean by 6 dollar haircuts, do you?
Well listen to this story. I guarantee you'll
never forget it.

Once upon a time, there was a very successful
barber who had a thriving business. He was well
known in his city for giving top notch haircuts
for only 10 dollars. His customers loved him,
because he was giving extraordinary value for a
fair price. He was truly giving people MORE than
they paid for.

One day, the barber got into a disagreement with
one of his customers (who happened to be a
wealthy, corporate executive). This customer was
SO angry at the barber, that he decided to open
up a brand new barber shop right next door, and
make every attempt to put him out of business.

He put up a HUGE sign in his window that said,
"We Give 6 Dollar Haircuts". Within 2-3 weeks,
almost all of the barber's customers were going
to his competitor's place in order to save money.

There was no way he could charge only 6 dollars
and still stay in business, but he was determined
not to go out of business. So he came up with a
plan to fight back.

He decided that he would also put a big sign in
his window that would counter what his competitor
was trying to do to him. Within ONE WEEK the
barber had all of his business back, because of
that sign. Can you guess what the sign said?

We FIX 6 Dollar Haircuts!

Here's how this relates to us as Internet
Marketers. I see all sorts of websites popping up
and selling cheap garbage products. It seems like
just about anyone who has a thousand bucks in his
pocket can hire a ghostwriter to create a
mediocre "me too" product. Those products usually
don't have any really valuable content.

It's all just generic fluff. In fact, often it's
just reworded forum posts that were transformed
into an eBook.

How can someone who's JUST getting started in
this business teach you how to make money in this
business? If you want to get into to Internet
Marketing business, then buy the reprint rights
for a proven, high quality product that actually
makes a difference in people's ability to make
money.

Don't just go out there and devalue the market by
selling 9.95 "flea market quality" eBooks.

I'm just wondering... how do YOU feel about
"cookie cutter" cheapo products? Do you think
they have any value? The only value that I can
really see is that they make people who really DO
pour themselves into their product... look much
better.

What are your thoughts?

Warmly,

Michael Rasmussen

P.S. - If you want to see an example of a high
quality product on how to create your own eBook
that really teaches people something worth
reading, then check out this site:

************************************************

This post caused quite a bit of controversy on
some of the discussion forums that I belong to.
People who hadn't posted for months suddenly came
exploding out of the shadows to voice their
opinion.

The result? I got over a 800 visitors to my site
for FREE, and quite a number of sales... all
within 7 days. If you're new to marketing, let me
just say that 800 highly targeted visitors is
worth a lot of money.

Do you see how I gave my opinion FIRST, and then
gave people a chance to disagree or agree. Either
way, it gets them participating, which keeps my
post at the top of the list... which results in
more views, and more traffic.

Listen, since you're going to be posting anyway,
why not spend a few extra minutes turning your
post into something that really gets results?

Be sure to read part 5 of this mini-course. I'm
going to reveal yet another secret for getting
more mileage out of your posts. I've used it for
years to get tons of free traffic, and yet I
hardly see anyone else doing it.

While you're at it, go ahead and construct an
open ended post of your own, and post it at
http://www.FreeAdvertisingForum.com

I bet you'll be shocked at the results.

P.S. - I really meant what I said in my post. If
you don't have a product of your own, and you
want to have a successful business right away...
then the best option is to get a set of resale
rights to a proven, best-selling product.

There are so few of them out there, but the good
news is that I have 10 products that I'm offering
resale rights to... but for a very short time.
Like I said yesterday, I'm willing to knock 100
bucks off the price, just to say thanks for
reading these emails.

Michael Rasmussen here, and I've got an incredible
story to share with you. I just discovered a man who
figured out a simple system for earning millions of
dollars with affiliate marketing using PPC.

And the weird part is that he has...

- no website
- no big email list
- and no product to sell

How did he pull it off and become one of the most
successful super affiliates in the world? Keep reading
to find out more, and also learn how you can get coached
from this amazing man yourself for less than $100.

So who is this man? His name is Amit Mehta, and his
story is something I'm sure you can relate to. Amit
was a struggling grad student who was desperately
trying to make it through school AND support his wife.

Oh, and did I mention that he was also $20,000 in
debt? Imagine the stress that a lifestyle like that
would bring, especially in this economy!

But Amit wasn't worried at all. He knew that he had
stumbled onto something incredible when he started
making thousands of dollars in profit per month by
promoting affiliate programs with PPC marketing.

And then he started making tens of thousands per
month. Then hundreds of thousands! It took him a few
years, but now he's already surpassed the two million
dollar level and is growing rapidly.

Want to learn how Amit is able to produce this
incredible income from home? He's ready to teach you
how to do the same at this website here:

*************************************************
AND HE ONLY WORKS FOUR HOURS A DAY... AT MOST!
*************************************************

It's true. This man has refined his amazing PPC
marketing system to the point where anyone can step in,
use his methods and tools, and create a substantial
income online in a very short period of time.

Can you imagine working only a few hours a day (at the
most) and earning a LOT more than you earn right now?
How great would it feel to know that your family will be
just fine regardless of what happens with the economy?

This is absolutely possible with Amit's system, and
the good news is that he's finally ready to reveal it
to the public. My friend Anik Singal (creator of PPC
Classroom 1.0) has worked with Amit to create a
one-of-a-kind training course that you can get access
to right away. It's called PPC Classroom 2.0.

And the best part? Instead of charging thousands for
this information, Anik and Amit decided to release it
for under $100. Check out the whole course here:

*************************************************
$10,000 IN BONUSES ARE
WAITING FOR YOU - LIMITED TIME
*************************************************

On top of giving you a world class education on
affiliate marketing using PPC, Anik and Amit have
prepared a huge pile of time-sensitive bonuses for
you. These bonuses are only available for a limited
time, so if I were you... I'd grab your copy of the

been pulled off the table. The best thing to do is
check the website right away and make sure they're
still available.

It's time to take your future into your own hands, and
build you own online business today. Affiliate
marketing is, in my opinion, the best way to go if
you're not already a niche expert.

Go ahead and check out Anik and Amit's brand new PPC
Classroom 2.0 right now, and see what all the fuss is
about. Remember, they're giving away over $10,000 in
bonuses when you pick up your copy today.

Michael Rasmussen here, and I have something
weird to tell you. I feel like I'm in nursery
school all over again.

Why? Because back when I was in nursery school
(about a million years ago), we used to have a
section of class called "show and tell" where
we'd bring something to class that we thought was
really cool, and show it off for all to see.

And that's what I'm about to do right now! You
see, I've found a hidden little GEM of a
marketing tool that almost nobody knows about,
and yet can make you a ton of money.

*************************************************
If you're in a hurry, just go ahead and take a
look at this web page to see what I'm talking
about in this email.

http://MichaelRasmussen.com/Recommends/Daves-Cool-Site
*************************************************

Okay, here's the deal...

There are three hot things going on in Internet
marketing right now. They are:

* eBay's new affiliate program
* Clickbank's affiliate programs
* Google Adsense

What if you could have a tool that actually
builds you a website that incorporates ALL THREE
of these things? That would be like having a
power tool for making money on the net!

Well guess what? I have just discovered a hot new
tool that does just that. It's got the weirdest
name I've ever seen before in a marketing
product, but don't let the name deceive you...
it's still pretty incredible. It's called (are
you ready for this?):

"Dave's Cool Site"

Haha I know, right? When I first heard the name,
I thought it was some ridiculous product that
wouldn't make any money...

...UNTIL I DISCOVERED THAT PEOPLE WERE FIGHTING
TO GET IN LINE TO OWN ONE OF THESE SITES!

You've simply got to see this to believe it.
Go ahead and check this out right now, and see

11/10/2008 17:45 - Dampak Resesi AS

Liputan6.com, Padang: Wakil Presiden Jusuf Kalla kembali mengingatkan para pengusaha di Tanah Air agar tidak khawatir terhadap gejolak pasar modal menyusul ditutupnya Bursa Efek Indonesia selama tiga hari. Anjloknya perdagangan di pasar modal belum menggambarkan terancamnya perekonomian nasional.

Pernyataan itu disampaikan Kalla saat membuka acara silaturrahmi para saudagar Minang di Padang, Sumatra Barat, Sabtu (11/10). Pada kesempatan itu, Kalla justru mengingatkan para pengusaha agar tetap menjaga kekuatan internal. Keberadaan sektor riil pasar tradisional harus tetap dipertahankan.

Sebagai negara besar dengan konsumsi terbesar dan terboros di dunia, krisis keuangan Amerika Serikat tidak hanya merontokkan bursa saham. Tingkat konsumsi juga terus merosot hingga 40 persen. Dampaknya tidak hanya BEI tak kunjung dibuka, ekspor Indonesia ke AS juga terus turun. Gagal bayar makin membayangi eksportir.

Asosiasi Pengusaha Indonesia berharap pemerintah benar-benar memproteksi pasar dalam negeri dan mencari tujuan negara ekspor selain AS. Namun pemerintah justru kebingungan dengan hanya fokus menyelamatkan bursa. Salah satunya dengan membentuk task force untuk mencari penyebar isu yang menyebabkan bursa rontok.

Padahal ada yang lebih penting dari sekadar upaya menyelamatkan bursa. Sektor riil sebenarnya yang paling penting untuk dijaga. Perbankan berharap Bank Indonesia tidak kembali menaikkan suku bunga. Semua berharap keadaan cepat menjadi lebih baik. Seperti yang diminta Presiden berulangkali, agar semua pihak tenang, rasional, dan jernih menghadapi krisis pasar modal.(TOZ/Tim Liputan 6 SCTV)

10/10/2008 18:03

Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono menyatakan, krisis yang terjadi belakangan adalah krisis keuangan, belum bisa disebut krisis ekonomi. Karena itu, ia meminta masyarakat tak panik menyikapi kondisi bursa saham nasional yang ikut memburuk.

Yudhoyono menambahkan, krisis global ini mesti ditanggapi secara tenang dan jernih. Pertanyaannya, apakah penyikapan pemerintah Indonesia sendiri sejauh ini sudah membuat tenang rakyat? Kirim komentar Anda

Liputan6.com, Jepara: Ribuan warga Jepara, Jawa Tengah, Kamis (9/10), mengikuti pesta lomban yang merupakan bagian dari tradisi tahunan Syawalan. Puncak Syawalan itu dimeriahkan dengan larung sesaji ke laut dan perang ketupat yang dilakukan masyarakat nelayan.

Didahului doa-doa, sesajen kemudian dilarung di tengah laut. Sontak para nelayan terjun ke laut saling berebut sesajen. Sebagian nelayan mengambil air laut tempat sesajen dilarung untuk disiramkan ke perahunya agar ikan tangkapan mereka melimpah.

Kemeriahan belum usai. Saat perang klepet dan ketupat, para nelayan melemparkan makanan itu ke para penumpang sebuah kapal yang baru merapat di pelabuhan. Meski kaget dan sebagian terkena lemparan tidak ada penumpang kapal yang marah mendapat serangan mendadak ini.

Perang klepet ketupat menggambarkan konflik antarmasyarakat pada zaman penjajahan yang kemudian dilerai pemimpin masyarakat saat itu. Rebutan tumpeng yang disusun klepet dan ketupat mengakhiri pesta lomban. Warga berdesak-desakan untuk mendapatkan ketupat.

Pesta lomban adalah bagian dari tradisi tahunan Syawalan yang digelar sepekan setelah Hari Raya Idulfitri. Konon pesta lomban ini dimulai sejak tahun 1883.(JUM/Yudi Sutomo dan Taufan Yudha)

Traders in London on October 8
Shares earlier got a brief respite before investors resumed selling.

Stock markets have lost ground, erasing earlier gains as nervous investors remained concerned that the financial crisis would lead to a world recession.

On Wall Street, the Dow Jones was down 0.43% despite opening higher.

European shares followed their US counterparts lower, with the FTSE 100 ending down 1.2% and France's Cac 40 down 1.55% by the close of trade.

Investors had earlier taken some comfort from Wednesday's co-ordinated rate cuts and a UK bank rescue plan.



We've had a few false dawns over the past couple of months and it's too early to call a complete recovery, but there's hope that these measures will get some traction at some point

Check UK bank shares

More guarantees

As the turbulent week continued, in other developments:

* The IMF head said the world economy was on the "cusp of a recession". Dominique Strauss-Kahn called on countries to work in joint action and forecast that a slow recovery would begin in the second half of 2009.

* The British Bankers' Association said the interbank cost of borrowing overnight had fallen - a day after interest rate cuts and governments provided additional liquidity. However, longer-term lending rates rose to their highest this year.
* Iceland suspended trading on its OMX Nordic Exchange until Monday, citing "unusual market conditions". Earlier, its largest bank, Kaupthing, became the third financial institution to be taken over by the country's government in the past week.
* Ireland extended its guarantee of bank deposits to cover savings in Irish branches of five foreign-owned institutions Northern Ireland's Ulster Bank, British-owned First Active and HBOS, Belgium's IIB Bank and German-owned Postbank.
* Gordon Brown wrote to G7 and EU leaders suggesting that the UK government's bank rescue plan could be a template for other nations to help unfreeze credit markets.
* US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson warned that some banks will still fail despite the $700bn (£406bn) rescue package to shore up the financial system.
* Dexia shares jumped 25% after France, Belgium and Luxembourg announced they would provide state guarantees for its borrowings.
* UK Chancellor Alistair Darling flew to the US to discuss the co-ordinated cutting of interest rates by six central banks.

* In Asia, Japan's Nikkei index ended lower after Prime Minister Taro Aso urged more action to boost the country's economy - on top of a 2 trillion yen ($19.5bn; £11.5bn) stimulus plan already put forward.

* After trading on Russian stock markets had been suspended following sharp share falls earlier this week, they were again halted - this time after stocks climbed too high after trade resumed.

'False dawns'

Seven central banks on Wednesday cut interest rates in an effort to steady the faltering global economy.

It came after the UK government's announcement of a package of measures aimed at rescuing the banking system.

This package makes available £400bn ($692bn) of fresh money.

There was "an air of cautious optimism" that such measures would have some impact on the financial crisis, said Richard Hunter, head of UK equities at Hargreaves Lansdown stockbrokers.

"Banking shares have been the main beneficiaries of the UK's rescue plan, and the interest rate cuts," he added.

"We've had a few false dawns over the past couple of months and it's too early to call a complete recovery, but there's hope that these measures will get some traction at some point."

More rate cuts

Japan's benchmark Nikkei lost 0.5% or 45.83 points to close at 9,157.5.

Shares had been ahead for most of trading after the Bank of Japan injected two trillion yen into the money markets in an effort to calm fears.

But Mr Aso's call for further action prompted a sell-off.

The Nikkei had suffered its biggest one-day drop in 21 years on Wednesday, with the index shedding nearly 10% of its value.

In Sydney, Australia's main share index fell 1.8%, but Hong Kong's Hang Seng index added 3.3% after its central bank announced a half a percentage point cut to its interest rate, taking it to 2%.

South Korea's stock market climbed after the central bank announced an interest rate cut of a quarter of a percentage point.

Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them.

AMERICA'S MONEY CRISIS
Business lending falls again
Stocks mixed after selloff
Why taxpayers should own banks
Iceland suspends trading for 2 days
Jobless claims fall from 7-year high

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks jumped at the open Thursday, as investors welcomed IBM's earnings report and talk that the government could take a stake in troubled banks, in the latest attempt to stabilize financial markets.

A rally in European markets helped too.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU), the Standard & Poor's 500 (SPX) index and the Nasdaq composite (COMP) all gained in the early going.

Markets have gotten hammered this week, with the Dow industrials shedding roughly 1,600 in the past week. And Wednesday wasn't much better. It was another disappointing session despite a half-point rate cut from the Federal Reserve. Stocks were volatile amid market turmoil in Europe and Asia. The Dow ended trading with a slump of 200 points, or 2%, while the Nasdaq dropped nearly 1%.

The Labor Department said initial claims for unemployment fell by 20,000 to 478,000 in the week ended Oct. 4. That's slightly worse than the 475,000 expected by economists surveyed by Briefing.com.

Much of what had been pushing markets higher was "the IBM effect and a technical bounce from new lows" in the stock market, said Peter Cardillo, economist for Avalon Partners, before the jobless report came out.

On Wednesday, IBM (IBM, Fortune 500) surprised investors by releasing its quarterly results earlier than expected.

Big Blue reported a 20% jump in third-quarter profit to $2.05 a share, handily topping analyst estimates by 4 cents a share. IBM also reaffirmed its full-year outlook. Shares of IBM rose 3% Thursday morning.

Cardillo also said the markets could also be getting relief from "a new government intervention by taking a stake in some of the banks."

To help bolster the markets, the Bush administration is considering taking ownership stakes in certain U.S. banks, as part of the $700 billion bailout package that was approved last week, according to the Associated Press.

Also, the New York Federal Reserve said late Wednesday that it is lending up to $37.8 billion to AIG, just three weeks after the Fed extended an $85 billion taxpayer-funded credit line to the troubled insurance giant. AIG (AIG, Fortune 500) recently disclosed that it had already taken out $61 billion of the debt.

Meanwhile, credit markets remain tight as lenders stay wary of taking on any unnecessary risk. Libor, the overnight bank lending rate, slipped to the still-high 5.09% from the previous rate of 5.38%, according to Bloomberg.com data. The 3-month Libor rate rose to 4.75% from 4.52%.

Economy: At 10 a.m. ET, the Census Bureau will report its August sales and inventory statistics for wholesale inventories. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com expect a gain of 0.4%, compared to a gain of 1.4% in July.

Markets, money and oil: The Nikkei closed down about 0.5%, but markets were higher in London, Frankfurt and Paris, rallying after a dismal Wednesday that was trailing the turmoil of the U.S. markets. The U.S. dollar slipped against the euro and the British pound but rose against the yen. The price of oil traded within a narrow range, dropping 32 cents a barrel to $88.63.

search engines (such as Google Search, Yahoo Search, MSN
Search or Teoma) and get a total link count for your website.

Domain Typo Generator - not everyone will get to your
website through a search engine or a link. Some will simply
type the address in their browsers and there's a chance they
w ill mistype, thus leading them to a completely different
domain. One of the best examples in this case is
www.google.com, which is often misspelled www.gooOgle.com.

Otoritas Bursa Efek Indonesia akhirnya menghentikan perdagangan karena kuatnya sentimen negatif yang merontokkan sebagian besar saham. Kekacauan pasar saham Rabu (08/10), tidak lepas dari pengaruh krisis keuangan di Amerika yang akhirnya sedikit menjadi kenyataan. Padahal sebelumnya berulang kali Presiden meyakinkan krisis Amerika tidak perlu dikhawatirkan berimbas ke perekonomian Indonesia. Apakah keyakinan pemerintah keliru?

Link popularity being the factor that is taken into account
by the leading search engines, while producing the Search
Engine Results Page, link exchange softwares have gained
much importance and significance because of the capability
of link exchange softwares to modify and upload links
automatically. The reciprocal link exchange program of
link exchange softwares makes the tedious task of link
exchange look like a piece of cake.

Most of the renowned link exchange softwares have many
features in common. Several strikingly good link exchange
softwares have a control panel that can create an HTML or
PHP directory that displays all of the link partners and
displays which partners are reciprocal linking to that
particular website too. Link exchange softwares are the
b est in attracting traffic from different sources and can
perform the link exchange process at any time of the day.

Link exchange is the best form of advertising since most
link exchange softwares are available free of cost, though
some link exchange management services require the
webmaster to remit a monthly fee to build the website's
popularity.

Link exchange softwares even have algorithms that can help
a website improve his link popularity and thus increase
its PageRank. Link exchange softwares can organize and
manage reciprocal links with much ease. The reciprocal
link checker program of the link exchange software helps
spider the domains and verifies whether a link to the
registered website is present on all sites listed in its
links page.

Once the link exchange software finds a Webmaster that is
not linking to the registered site, it automatically sends
an e-mail to that Webmaster warning him to add the link
back. A part of the algorithm of all link exchange
softwares includes sending e-mail notifications to the
Webmaster of the registered site, at every step of the
link exchange process such as about a link exchange
request, approval/rejection email to submitters, requests
to webmasters to add your link back if they removed it.

Link exchange softwares also makes sure that the link is
on the same domain as the submitted link, automatically.
An amazing feature of link exchange softwares is that it
keeps track of all traffic. Link exchange softwares can
keep track of the number of click that go to each
reciprocal link from the registered site and can list it
down as and when the user demands.

Most Link exchange softwares can support multiple
platforms such as Unix/Linux and Windows web hosting
service, as long as the web hosting service can support
MYSQL database and PHP. Link exchange softwares are search
engine friendly and cause spiders to crawl up to the
registered site. If the site was designed in HTML mode,
the link exchange software can generate static HTML pages.

Cap Dewan Perwakilan Amerika Serikat
Cap Dewan Perwakilan Amerika Serikat

Dewan Perwakilan Amerika Serikat, bersama dengan Senat Amerika Serikat, adalah salah satu dari dua Dewan dari Kongres Amerika Serikat. Masing-masing negara bagian diwakili dalam Dewan Perwakilan secara proporsional sesuai dengan jumlah penduduknya, namun masing-masing negara bagian sekurang-kurangnya mempunyai seorang Anggota Perwakilan. Jumlah seluruh Anggota Perwakilan saat ini ditetapkan 435 orang oleh Undang-Undang Pembagian (Apportionment Act) tahun 1911, meskipun Kongres dapat meningkatkan jumlah itu. Masing-masing Anggota Dewan menjabat selama dua tahun dan dapat dipilih kembali untuk waktu yang tidak terbatas. Ketua Dewan disebut Speaker.

Konsep kongres dua kamar berasal dari keinginan para Bapak Pendiri Amerika Serikat untuk menciptakan sebuah "dewan perwakilan rakyat" yang sedapat mungkin menyerupai dan mengikuti pendapat umum, dibandingkan dengan Senat yang lebih diwarnai oleh perdebatan, yang lebih terdidik dan berhati-hati yang tidak begitu dipengaruhi oleh dorongan sentimen massa. Umumnya Dewan ini disebut "majelis rendah", dan Senat sebagai "majelis tinggi", meskipun Konstitusi AS tidak menggunakan istilah seperti itu. Konstitusi mensyaratkan bahwa persetujuan kedua dewan ini diperlukan agar suatu rancangan undang-undang dapat disetujui.

Myspace Music is set to open its doors sometime this month, soon apparently, and given the features it will quickly become a magnet for advertisers.

The site will offer the entire catalogs of Universal, SonyBMG, and Warner Music; that’s around 77% of the entire US music market. Myspace Music will make all the music they have in catalog available free to listen, so long as you don’t mind the ads.

With free jukebox like that, they are sure to be hit with a huge flow of traffic - one would hope that their servers can cope and don’t suffer a Twitter-outage. With that flow of traffic, Myspace Music will have full advertising books for years - a real revenue cash-cow for the investors.

Will it prove to be popular? There is no doubt about it. Music is the one area of online marketing that has continued to boom. Everyone will benefit from this relationship, from the humble (and not so humble) artists to the buyers, and everyone in between. Myspace have hit on a winner and the doors have not even opened yet.

If you have the slightest relationship with the music industry then advertising on this new venture could prove to be a huge advantage. Will millions expected to access the site each day, just a tiny percentage of clicks could produce thousands of visitors. It will be interesting to see what sort of costs will be involved in advertising - I am sure it will not be cheap.

Search Engine Optimization and internet traffic gurus will
often tell you that, when taking upon submitting a bunch of
articles, it's not a good idea to submit all of them at once.
This has several reasons. On one hand, if you submit, say, 5
articles at once through automated submission software, all
the links from their resource boxes will be pointing to you
at the same time.

Most search engine crawler bots deem this as "suspicious
activity", or spam and they may delay the link calculation
process, decrease your search engine rank or even take your
site off the engine!

Search engines prefer an "organic" linking system, where
links come in pointing at your site naturally, instead of
all at once. For a webmaster, it's often difficult to manage
article submission this way, sending one article every 4-5
days, in order to get an organic linking from the E-zines
a nd article directories. Articles you planned on submitting
later get deleted, you forget where you put them, they get
outdated and so forth. Blast Articles helps you in this
regard, as you will be able to easily store your articles on
our website, ready for a future submission.

The best part about this particular feature offered by Blast
Articles is that you can store unlimited articles on your
account! So just order or write a batch of 50 articles,
simply store them and you won't have to worry about their
location ever again. Besides, after editing the preferences
for each article, submitting them is as easy as pressing one
button, so you can just log in every 2-3 days, submit one
article, then log off and enjoy your coffee. In order to
help you out even further,Blast Articles management section
allows you to see the submission date and the status of your
articles, so that you don't send articles to close to one
another or accidentally double-submit, which could
potentially harm your website.

In addition, by accessing the "Stats" section on our
website, you will be able to see which articles were
publishedto how many E-zine as well as the date it was
published. This doesn't seem like an important feature for
1 or 2 articles, but when you have hundreds of them
submitted to different E-zines, it's a valuable tool.
Basically, you'll have full control over what's going on
with the articles you submit, so you won't feel left in the
dark about their status.

Anil Vij
