6 Things You Can Do Today To Reduce Your Carbon Footprint Tomorrow
Copyright (c) 2011 Lee Dobbins
Website Promotion Blueprint
http://www.websitepromotionblueprint.com/pw



You’ve probably heard that lowering your carbon footprint is the
“green” thing to do but you might not know why or even how to do
that. At first glance, it seems like doing so could be really
expensive or cause you to make some significant lifestyle changes
that you might not be ready for. The truth is, that there are
quite a few little things you can do to reduce your carbon
footprint that won’t cost a thing or impact your lifestyle.

But first, why even bother? I mean, surely any little thing you
can do would be so miniscule that it wouldn’t matter much, right?
Wrong! The truth is that even little things can have a big impact
over time and if each one of us just makes a few little changes
the amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere would be
much lower and the planet much “greener”.

Sure, a lot of the things you can do require expensive purchases
and a bit of planning, but here are 6 things you can do right
now, without having to buy a thing!

6 Things You Can Do Today To Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

1. Adjust Your Heating / Air Conditioner Settings

One thing you can do without causing yourself too much discomfort
and which will actually save you money is to keep your house a
little cooler in winter and a little warmer in summer. Just a
couple of degrees can save almost 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide
from going into the air and can also save you around $100 a year
in your heating or electric bill. When you think of it, 2 degrees
warmer or colder really isn’t that much and will barely impact
your comfort level.

2. Don’t Use So Much Hot Water

It takes a lot of energy to heat the hot water you use for
showers, laundry and the dishwasher so using less of it will help
reduce carbon gasses because it will reduce the amount of energy
you use. Instead of using hot water for your laundry, why not
switch to cold? Taking shorter showers or installing a low flow
shower head will help conserve hot water in the shower. Making
sure you don’t run your dishwasher unless it is full will help
you conserve even more hot water. And guess what, all of these
efforts will also save you a little bit of money each year too!

3. Unplug

If your house is anything like mine, you probably have a ton of
electronic devices plugged in that draw just a little bit of
energy to keep their led’s lit all day long. Things like
chargers, VCR’s, stereos and even your electric toothbrush are
using a little energy even when the device itself is not in use,
but if you unplug them they won’t be using any. The thing is that
even though this may be a small amount, it can add up especially
when multiplied by all the households that have these devices –
if everyone turned theirs off that would make a big impact.

4. Recycle

These days, recycling is super easy. Just get a few bins that you
can sort your glass and plastics into and make it a habit to
dispose of them accordingly instead of throwing everything in the
trash. I think most towns have a recycling station now a days so
it will merely take a weekly trip to the dump to make sure your
recyclables get put to proper use.

5. Make Sure Your Tires Are Properly Inflated

Did you know that you will get better gas mileage if your tires
are inflated properly? And getting better gas mileage means you
will use less gas which will reduce your carbon footprint. Not to
mention that it’s safer and better for your car to have proper
tire inflation. A quick trip to the gas station periodically will
ensure that your tires have just the right amount of air and
might even save you a few bucks in gas.

6. Make Your Fridge More Efficient

Everyone knows that an energy star fridge will use less energy
but not everyone has the money to go out and buy a new fridge.
Luckly, there are a few things you can do with your current
fridge that can help it use less electricity. One of these is to
vacuum the coils underneath the fridge to keep the condenser
working efficiently. This should be done every 3 months. Also,
make sure you have the fridge set at 37 degrees Fahrenheit and
the freezer set at 5 degrees farenheight as these are the most
efficient settings.

These 6 things are easy to do, won’t take but a few minutes and
won’t cost you a dime but they can help reduce your carbon
footprint and even save you some money over the year to come.
While they might not seem like a big deal, if everyone took these
little steps we could drastically cut down on greenhouse gasses
flowing into our atmosphere. Won’t you do your part today?

Are All Online Dating Profiles Faked? Get the Facts
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



Online dating... the whole concept sounds very exciting yet
mysterious.

There are people around the world who have done the online dating
thing, many of which were able to find their soulmates.

Most of us have dated at least offline, and some of us have dated
online. Either way, online dating can be a good experience for
each one of us - if we don't let the bad outshine the good.

It has been said that risk is required to attain great reward.
And after having heard some of the stories about the online
dating experience, you just about have to concede that sometimes
online dating brings with it great risk. Well, everything in this
world involves some drawbacks and dangers with it and so does
online dating.

Where there are good people, there may also be bad people. It is
a risk we all take when we choose to socialize with others.

The greatest risk of online dating is that the person with whom
you are speaking is not who he or she says that they are. Of
course, that could happen in the real world of dating, but it is
not as prevelent as it is online.

The people who are faking their online identity fall into one of
three groups: lonely people, married people (sometimes also
lonely married people), and the criminal element.

Ladies, don't think that a reference to the criminal element
only includes men who seek to harm women. More so, most of the
criminal element in the online dating world are those who are
looking for a mark for an identity fraud or money scam. Whether
you are a man or woman, you should be forewarned that if someone
starts asking for money to pay for some emergency expense, then
you are probably talking to a criminal involved in some sort of
money scam. You know, it might be different if you have met this
individual in person, but if you have never met them and they are
asking for money... BEWARE!

Faking an online identity on a dating website is not always
indicative of a fraudulent mind. When lonely, some people simply
create an online identity that might be more exciting and more
attractive to others. This kind of fake may not hurt you
physically or financially, but it may very well put a long-term
relationship on the rocks as the deceptions are discovered.

By far, the most common reason for faking an online dating
website identity is the ignorant spouse at home. He or she might
be a wretch, but being a wretch does not make them dangerous.

The online dating websites have gotten pretty good over the years
at setting up systems to identify and target the criminal
elements within the dating site. Typically, the male or female
criminal scammer will be identified and deleted from the dating
websites' database within 24-48 hours. So, if you find yourself
talking to someone and their profile is shown to be deleted in
mid-sentence, you can usually rest assured that the online dating
site just saved you a world of headache and heartache.

While the dating websites are good at detecting and deleting the
criminal scammers from the dating community, the dating websites
are less inclined to eliminate the married members from their
database. However, some of the bigger dating websites have
provided mechanisms for members to prove that they are who they
say they are, for the purpose of giving the website a method to
tell its other members whether the individual has submitted proof
of identity to them or not. The married guys and gals usually
won't go through the proof of identity process, for fear that
his or her significant other will find out about the attempt to
cheat.

But before you go jumping to any conclusions about an individual
on an online dating website, keep in mind that many people simply
will not go through the identity verification process, for a
number of reasons:

1. Too much hassle;

2. It sometimes costs money; and

3. Some people are afraid to give private data to some unknown
third-party that might be operating the website.

The truth is that the online dating community should be treated
as a buyer-beware process. While most people who frequent the
online dating websites are honest, single and looking for love,
there are a few out there who are not.

If you gather a group of people in any single setting, whether it
is an online dating website, a church, or a grocery store, most
of the people you will find at that setting are good, honest,
hard-working people. So, when you are online, you should look at
the online dating experience as one where most people will be
above-board, honest, and sincere. But you should also keep in the
back of your mind that you do not know for sure what you are
getting until which time you are able to prove to yourself that
the person at the other end of the conversation is exactly who
you believe that they are.

When searching for that proof of sincerity, keep in mind that
lesson from our youth... Liars will never be able to keep their
lies straight, and they will always begin to make mistakes and
let the truth slip out.

At the end of the day, the online dating community is just one
more way for people to meet a potential love interest. It is a
way where you can meet people that you would not have been able
to meet otherwise, and who knows, it might work out to be the
best love connection you will ever make.

When Commitment Seems A Bit Too Much Trouble
Copyright (c) 2011-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



The nuclear family (man and wife, plus 2.2 kids) is a fantasy
that some people want to chase, and while there is nothing wrong
with that, it is not the right relationship dynamic for some
people.

Divorced And Living Together

My mother divorced my dad in 1985. He remarried in 2000, but she
remains unmarried to this day.

That is not to say that she is alone... In fact, she has been
living with the same fellow since 1989.

If you ask her "when" she plans to marry, she will hurl a load
of angry words in your direction.

But, if you ask her "why" she is not yet married, she will tell
you in no uncertain terms that she will never marry again, and
definitely not to the jerk she is with now. LOL

Her "why" is simple. You "cannot trust a man to keep his word
about anything." LOL again.

If you ask me, it has nothing to do with whether the men in her
life keep their word about anything. Instead, by staying
unmarried, she is keeping her life simple. And if she and
whomever she is with decide to break the relationship bond, then
not having to get a divorce makes the process much easier and
without complications.

I don't usually share personal stories about my family with my
readers, but in this case, I made an exception.

I made an exception in this case for two reasons: you probably
will never meet my mother or be able to track her down, AND her
story perfectly demonstrates how relationships can be more
complicated than they appear on the surface.

Divorced and Living Apart, But Still Dating

There is another couple I know, whose kids I went to school with
when I was younger. I have always got on well with them, and we
kept in touch after I grew up.

In their case, they divorced about the same time my parents
divorced -- over 25 years ago.

But every time I see them, they are together, on a date.

One day, curiosity got the best of me. I asked them why they
still keep different homes if every time I see them they are
together. She laughed at my question.

The two of them explained that while they enjoy the company of
the other, most of the time, they grate on the other one's
nerves if they are together too much.

So after 20 years of marriage, 5 years of dating other people,
and 20 more years of dating each other, they have come to the
conclusion that it is best to live in different houses and go on
several dates a week.

When they start to tire of the other, they stop seeing each other
for a little while.

When they are ready to start dating again, the one who broke it
off previously will call the other one on the phone.

After a couple phone calls, they will rekindle their dating
relationship. And I will begin to see them out on the town
together for dinner and such again.

Friends With Benefits

My sister has a relationship very similar to that of my moms.

She and her husband ended their marriage after only twelve years.
I can almost understand the hatred she has for men now, but not
completely.

Yeah, her husband was a jerk of super-hero proportions, but I
could almost understand why he acted in such a vile manner
because she treated him like yesterday's garbage.

Nevertheless, that marriage was one that was made in hell. And it
ended much later than it should have.

When it all came to its brutal end, he bought tens of thousands
of dollars of stuff in her name, ruining her credit forever. When
the judge decided he needed to give her his car as part of the
settlement, he took out all of the parts necessary for the
vehicle to operate the vehicle.

It took my sister six years to gather all of the parts necessary
to start the vehicle again.

Can I say vicious?

My sister decided that she liked intimacy, but she certainly
wasn't going to let another man ever "tell her what to do."

For years, she had several "friends" with whom she carried a
"friends with benefits" relationship.

After several boyfriends, she finally settled down with one poor
chap, who she runs through the ringer regularly.

I cannot tell you how many phone calls I have received, my wife
and my brother have received, from my sister's current live-in
boyfriend, with him crying on the other end of the line, because
my sister is being mean to him and threatening to end the
relationship.

All I can tell him is to lay down to take the abuse, grow some
balls and stand up to her once in a while, or move on to another
woman who will treat him better. LOL

In his case, I suspect he was much better off when he had a
"friends with benefits" relationship with my sister, instead of
a live-in boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.

The Nuclear Family Is Dead

I do say that tongue-in-cheek, because my brother does have a
nuclear-family relationship, with a wife and 3 kids, but he is
the only one left in our family who does.

As far as I am concerned, I am happy to remain a bachelor on the
prowl.

Maybe in a few years, I will grow up and accept the standard
definition of a relationship as a relationship I want in my own
life. But I am almost 40. Sometimes I think that if I haven't
done it yet, I probably never will.

Just because most people on this earth choose the nuclear-family
relationship does not mean that it is the perfect relationship
dynamic for everyone on the planet.

Let's face it. Commitment is not the perfect solution for
everyone, and it never will be.

Getting Past First Base In The Dating Game
Copyright (c) 2011-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



This is going to sound cheesy, but I am going to share it with
you anyway.

For years, the first date was the worst part of the dating
process for me and my date.

She and I were often uncomfortable on our first meeting, and it
was a struggle to get through the evening to the point of comfort
between my date and myself.

One of my female friends shared with me an idea that she had come
across years before, and when I tried it for myself, it changed
most of my first dates from a nervous uncomfortable experience
into a fun and engaging evening.

Take Pen And Paper On Your First Date

In most cases, I will have talked to the person I am meeting once
or twice, before we go on the actual "first date". So, to a
point, we are somewhat comfortable with each other. But, I am
always nervous on that first date anyway, and so is she.

It is not uncommon to be uncomfortable on that first date,
because as human beings, we want the other person to like us, as
much as we think we like them.

It is that fear of rejection that causes the most nervousness on
that first dinner date, and my friend forever changed that
experience for me to the positive, due to what I am about to tell
you right now.

Pen and paper?

Oh yeah...

It never fails. We sit down to order dinner, then we are never
sure where the conversation is going to go next.

When I feel that first twinge of uncertainty in the conversation,
I reach in my pocket and put a pen on the table in front of her.

I let curiosity drive the moment.

She is usually very confused by the ball-point pen, and she looks
at me in a quizzical manner.

I just smile.

Then I reach in my pocket and get a piece of paper. I reach
across the table and put the paper in front of her, then I make
eye contact, and respond to her confusion with another smile.

Then I place pen and paper in front of myself.

Only after I have got my own pen and paper on the table do I
speak.

I usually say, "Humor me. It will be fun."

She will usually agree.

Then I will say, "I know you have questions, and sometimes it is
easier to put them on paper than it is to ask them in person."

I will follow that with, "I am pretty sure that there is at
least one question about me that you might be too nervous to ask
me. If so, write it down on the paper, and I will do the same
with the question I have for you that I might be too nervous to
ask."

Take Notes

Take notice of the reaction offered by the other person.

The body language will say more than the words that come from the
mouth.

I generally see one of three responses from the person I am with:

1) A grunt of dissatisfaction and a roll of the eyes. This means
that very likely, the date will end after dinner, and you will
never see her again.

2) A sparkle in the eye, and she will pick up the pen and begin
to write. This could be very interesting. You will be surprised
at the depth of some of the questions asked.

3) She will push the paper aside and begin to speak. Ah yes...
This one is feisty... She is not easily intimidated, and she
certainly will not be afraid to ask you ANY questions. In this
instance, she will quickly ask the most personal questions that
she could ever think to ask on a first date.

The Point Of This Exercise

As someone on a first date, we are both trying to sell ourselves
to the other person as someone with whom they should want to
spend more of their time.

As someone who has worked in sales, I know that successful sales
people don't focus on what is in it for themselves, but instead,
they focus on answering all of the questions most important to
the other party, in an effort to help them make a good decision.

The point of this exercise is to open the communication channels,
so that both of you will be willing to dive into those very
important questions that you will need answered to decide if this
dating prospect is right for you.

If at the end of that first date, you have successfully
eliminated someone from your shopping list, you will be ahead of
the game. Most people don't figure that out that someone is a
bad match until they have gone on two or three dates.

The pen and paper is simply a tool designed to open the
communication channels with the other person.

It is never necessary to actually write anything on your piece of
paper, unless the other person starts writing.

In order to ease the willingness to ask and answer questions, I
always make my first question somewhat silly. My goal with
selecting a humorous or silly first question is to "lessen the
tension" in the conversation and to create a "feeling of fun"
in the experience.

Even if I never go out with her again, I want her to tell her
friends that her date with me "was fun."

Spice Up Your Love Life With Pen And Paper

Always take two pens and two sheets of paper with you when you go
on a date.

If you never have to use them, that might be a good sign for your
second date.

How Dating Has Changed In The 21st Century
Copyright (c) 2008-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



With an article title like this, one might assume that I am ready
to tell you some extraordinary news about a new dating
environment. Sure, the Internet has introduced one more way for
people to meet, but does that actually change the dating scene?

Interestingly, a friend of mine met his current wife online, but
not from across country, rather from across town. The two of them
lived just five miles apart. Jokingly, we have talked about it
from the standpoint of "you could have met, if only you had been
willing to get out more." But it was not that easy. Sure, in
theory they probably could have met when they were out and
running around, but if you talk to both and ask them the places
they go and the people they know, the chances of actually having
met were entirely unlikely.

He is a Baptist and she is a Catholic. He is a blue-collar
worker, and she works for a dentists' office. He goes to
football games and hangs with his friends, and she used to go to
the bar with the girls. Although they both lived in the same
small town and graduated from the same high school, none of his
friends had ever met her, and none of her friends had ever met
him or his friends.

The two of them were so close, and yet so far apart from one
another.

The Internet was instrumental in bringing the two together. They
were introduced to one another through their respective personal
profiles on dating websites. After a couple of exchanged emails,
they turned first to Yahoo Chat, and then they orchestrated a
personal meet for dinner at a local restaurant. I guess you can
say the rest is history.

After a nine-month courtship, the two were married, and they have
been married now for two years.

Lessons To Be Learned

Ah yes, I am one of the guys who write about online dating. So, I
got the idea to start asking questions. I wanted to know what if
anything could have impacted this hookup in a negative way. Now
and again, I will ask a question and wish later that I had just
kept my mouth shut. In a way, this was one of those situations,
and you will see why in a minute.

Both indicated that a picture on a profile is absolutely
essential. Neither was willing to talk to anyone who hid behind a
computer on the Internet. Had either one not included a picture,
neither would have responded to the others' email.

Both had been doing the online dating thing for a couple years.
So, both had scars from the experience.

She said that one should never lie in a profile. She said that
when she chatted guys online or met them in person, she was keen
to listen to everything she was told. She was looking for
discrepancies between what was said in chat, in person and in the
profile. She said that when she first started the online dating
thing, she did not pay much attention to those things, but she
later found that these little red flags were a good indication of
bigger red flags that she would not want to discover later.

Both suggested one of my standard pieces of advice was completely
valid. I have always said that we should get to know one another
a bit better, before we start making commitments to one another.

She said that guys, who were quick to jump into a commitment,
were not only nerdy, but also desperate for a good reason. He
said that girls were quick to declare love or commitment usually
turned out to be scammers looking to make a quick buck. He said
that within days of the first declaration of love, she would
always be asking for money, and she would pitch a fit if you told
her no, after all she would say, the two of you shared something
special.

She said there was two emails that she dreaded receiving from
guys. She said any email that employed cheesy pick up lines would
not be answered ever. She said that if I guy wanted her
attention, he would need to give some thought to his emailed
words. Second, she said that if she wanted to see a guy's male
part, she would invite him to her house for the night. She did
not want to see him in an email message.

He said there was two emails that he also dreaded receiving. He
did not want to hear "I love you" at all, nor did he want to be
spoken to in a condescending way. I asked him what he perceived
to be "condescending". He said words like, "sweetie",
"dear" and "honey" were immediate turn-offs, as he perceived
those women to be professionals looking to get paid for their
dates.

All Went Well To This Point, And Then...

You know I am the type of person who is not easily embarrassed.
The interview had been going well, and then I asked the wrong
question to the wrong person. And it all changed, just like that.

I asked my friend and his wife whether they had ever got together
with someone just for fun, like a one-night-stand type
arrangement. Both had said yes, and then I regretted having asked
the question. My friend's wife indicated that she had one real
good "friend with benefits", and as a single guy, I might enjoy
some of the activities they liked doing.

If I had stopped here, then everything might have been all right,
but I asked what she meant.

Immediately, the alarm went off in my brain signaling too much
information! I turned beet red and she laughed. And to this day,
I have never lived down that moment in time.

How To Avoid The Pitfalls, Wrong Turns, Broken Hearts Of Online Dating
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



As an experienced online dater, I feel qualified to help you avoid
pitfalls, wrong turns, broken hearts, and the general
catastrophes associated with internet wooing.

When you join your first online dating community, you will be
required to fill in personal information. Please be honest. You
are shorter and fatter than you think.

However, you have to be true to yourself too. Do not embellish
your life just because you think that is what the opposite sex
wants to hear. If you create a fake persona, you will regret it
and look like a liar.

Warning: Prepare To Be Overwhelmed!

After signing up, uploading your picture and answering personal
questions, you will be bombarded with images of single people all
wanting to be friends with you. It is a heady experience, but it
isn't real.

  * Think of online dating as "an Ebay for your heart." Yeah,
there is a lot of stuff on there, but you don't need it all.
It's like going to the mall with unlimited credit. Take a deep
breath and remember that these are people, not things to be
purchased.

  * Take it slow. Don't act like the greedy kid in Willie Wonka.
You are way better than that. Remember that the person you pick
to correspond with is also connecting with other people. So, do
yourself a favor and don't tell all your friends about this
great guy/gal you met. Chances are your new "mate" might not be
around in three days and you will look like a desperate loser.

  * Keep in mind that this is a "dating" website and some people
are looking to date many people as possible because, after all,
they paid for it.

  * Take your time to correspond and build up a friendship before
you agree to meet someone in person. In the car business,
salespeople encourage you to take a test drive to promote in you
a feeling of "ownership." If you want a shot at more than just
a string of one time coffee dates, you have to do the same. You
need to become "real" to the person you are interested in.

Write. Text. Whatever. Let your potential partner see you as a
person. Let a friendship grow naturally so when you finally meet
it is with a sense of anticipation, not dread. A date will be
less likely to dump you on the spot if they are eager to meet you
despite your shortcomings, and you will be more likely to
overlook their receding hairline or less-than-perfect abs.

Follow All The Safety Rules

Meet in a public place, let a friend know where you will be, and
don't give out personal contact information until you are sure
that your date is reasonably trustworthy. Bad things don't
happen very often, but they do happen.

Don't believe everything your date tells you. Caveat Emptor -
Buyer Beware.

Be financially savvy. Dating sites are in this for the money.
They offer you the "convenience" of debiting your checking
account or credit card every month. Stay aware of when this
deduction will occur, or even keep a calendar specifically for
this purpose. Cancel your membership if you feel like you have
met someone special and no longer need the service, or if you
feel like this just isn't working out for you.

Do not let your naysaying friends talk you out of this. In the
past, "computer dating" had a negative connotation; happily, I
believe that is changing. Users now realize that people on a
dating site are busy professionals who don't like meeting
potential partners in a more traditional way (i.e., bars). The
men aren't creepy weirdos and the women aren't chubby
introverts....well, at least, not all of us.

Finally, be realistic. You will never meet the perfect person and
you will never be the perfect person. Relax. Readjust your
expectations and you and your date will have much more fun.
That's what its all about, isn't it?

Online Dating Is A Difficult Process That Offers Some Rewards
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



Many people who are on the dating scene turn to the online dating
websites to find new friends and lovers. But that road is a hard
one that can occasionally bring those with great patience - great
rewards.

Beyond everything else, patience is required of anyone who is
pursuing friends, lovers or mates in the real world and online.
When I do the dating thing in the real world, I find several
opportunities to talk to the person in whom I am interested. Then
after a few meets, I pop the big question, asking for a date.
Then date night comes along and it may work, and it may not, but
more frequently all seems well early, only to fall apart at a
later date.

Folks, online dating comes with all the same pitfalls as offline
dating. You advertise yourself, you find people whom you may be
interested, you try to talk it up, and then the first date comes.
That first date may work and it may not.

In the end, online dating is much the same as offline dating,
with a few more benefits and pitfalls thrown in to frustrate the
person seeking a date.

The Differences Between The Online And Offline Experience

The biggest difference between the online and offline dating
experience is a benefit that comes from it.

Benefits Of Online Dating

With online dating, you get to be introduced to people with whom
you may have never had the opportunity to meet in person -
usually due to different lifestyles and different locations.

With online dating, you also have the ability to sort through the
profiles of hundreds or thousands of people to narrow your list
to your best matches more quickly.

Shortcomings Of Online Dating

When you meet someone you like in person and you say hi, he or
she will usually say hi back. For every 20 emails sent out, as
few as 2 or 3 may respond back.

Some online daters have defined this as the difference between
"talkers" and "doers". Many point out that most people online
only want to talk about meeting, but when it comes down to it,
they will be unwilling to take the "action" step.

This actually happens in one of two ways. First is when you send
out an email and no one ever responds. The second is when you
actually set up a date, only to be stood up.

Let's be honest about why this happens.

So many people have heard horror stories about people who have
met strangers online, only to have the meet go horribly bad. Yes,
the criminal element hangs out online as well as at the local
mall.

Ladies fear the criminal predators, and the guys should fear the
fake profile predators who are always working towards asking for
money to be sent for a needed emergency expense.

The one time I ran into the fake profile predator, I should have
known when she could not talk intelligently about her hometown. I
knew the gig was up when she started professing her love after
only a few conversations. And the gig was finally up, when this
woman who supposedly made about three times as much money as
myself needed help to pay for her babysitter in some far off
state.

The trick to ensuring your safety is to always make your first
date in a public place. That way, if things go badly on that
first date, then you can seek assistance from other people if
necessary. You can even ask the cashier to call the police out to
help escort you to your car.

Unfortunately, many people go so far as to set up a date in a
public place, but when the scheduled date time arrives, they
simply do not show up. Many of the people who got stood up were
good, honest people, but the person who stood them up will never
be able to find that out, because they never met the person whom
they agreed to meet for that first date.

Fear Is The Greatest Demotivator

When dating online, the opportunities are available for some
great people to meet and get together, but too often, people let
the fear of contact stand in the way of letting people come
together. The fear of responding to an email is the greatest
threat to the successful fulfillment of one's relationship
desires, but also the fear of actually meeting someone in person
will prevent even people who have chatted online for a long time
from coming together.

I am always amazed when I think back to my friend Lisa, who
chatted with a guy online for more than one year, before the two
of them met. And then they dated for several months when he moved
to her hometown. They are still married eight years later. With
so many things that could go wrong in the online dating
experience, it is nice to know that there are success stories
that we can share.

"When Bill checked the oil on his new pickup he
was surprised to find his oil level was going up after the
first thousand miles. The next time he checked his oil it
was higher still, even though he hadn't added any. He
became concerned and decided to have his oil analyzed.
Sure enough, the oil in his new truck was being diluted
with fuel, a serious problem with serious consequences if
left unchecked.
Though most often used for detecting wear metals, oil
analysis is an invaluable diagnostic tool for a whole host
of maladies affecting engines, from fuel dilution to head
gasket leaks. Routine oil analysis helps heavy equipment
owners graph a working history of their machinery and
other engines. Oil analysis can also affirm that extended drain
synthetics are still "good to go" for truckers and
others interested in saving their hard-earned money.
Oil analysis enables vehicle owners to peek inside
their engines without costly tear-downs, and it provides
your customers with a proactive approach to vehicle
maintenance. For those who say frequent oil changes are
"cheap insurance," oil analysis is cheaper still and tells a
much more compelling story."

Tips For Building a Successful Long Distance Relationship

See TERMS OF REPRINT to the end of the article.

Article Description:
From time to time, life will hand you a twist, and you will be
required to move from one place to another - this can be the
result of a job transfer, leaving home to attend college, or any
of a number of other reasons. When you move from one town to
another, it is not always possible to bring your partner with
you, and this sometimes leads to the formation of a long distance
relationship (LDR).

Tips For Building a Successful Long Distance Relationship
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



From time to time, life will hand you a twist, and you will be
required to move from one place to another - this can be the
result of a job transfer, leaving home to attend college, or any
of a number of other reasons. When you move from one town to
another, it is not always possible to bring your partner with
you, and this sometimes leads to the formation of a long distance
relationship (LDR).

I have to be honest, it takes a very special set of people to
engage in the long distance relationship successfully and for a
lengthy amount of time. The weaker among us may work to keep the
facade, while at the same time looking for companionship closer
to home. I will be honest, I am not suited to the long distance
relationship, but I have known people who were able to do it
successfully over a number of years.

When you have a long distance relationship, it is always good to
maintain communication, whether it is through the phone, email or
any other possible means. It can be a bit straining and
expensive, but that is the only means that will keep the two of
you together. These days with Voice Over IP (VOIP) telephone
services, the cost of long distance phone services can be
drastically reduced, but these services require the user to keep
access to a high-speed internet access, in order to successfully
utilize the services.

Partners should also maintain a high level of honesty and respect
for each other. If you do not trust your partner, you will be
kept awake wondering whom they are with and whether they are
still faithful.

Do not ask your partner "who were you with?" or "what did you
do?" There is a difference between genuine interest and
suspicion, and the person whom you ask those questions can
usually distinguish between the two motives.

Insecurity will poison and ultimately kill any relationship.

If you find yourself straying, or simply do not love your partner
anymore, it is always best to come clean. Do not lie or pretend
that you are not going out with someone else. It may be seem more
convenient to hide the truth, but if you try, you are just
delaying the inevitable breakup.

When you decide to break the relationship, do not leave a message
on the answering machine.

Understand if your partner is unable to return your calls
immediately, or does not write that often. It may because of a
new lifestyle or a pressing job.

It also helps to tell your partner what you did, how you are
feeling and where you think the relationship is heading.

Make a habit of visiting each other when it is possible,
especially during holidays. This helps break the gap that the
distance is putting between you. Absence may make the heart grow
fonder, but presence gives it strength. The hellos may seem odd
and the goodbyes painful, but it gets easier with time.

Having supportive friends is also an added advantage. Some may
think it is an absolute waste of time to maintain a long distance
relationship, while others will respect you for trying to hold
the relationship together despite the distance.

A long distance relationship is just like any other relationship
- the only difference is that you will have to work a little bit
harder to stay together. If there is no reason to break up, head
on.

Keep in mind that nothing comes in life comes on a silver
platter. Relationships like anything else in life requires work
to be successful. If you are committed to your significant other
and him or her to you, then the long distance relationship is not
a bad thing. My brother was involved in a long-distance
relationship for more than four years, while he and his current
wife were working their way through college. It worked out well
in his case, and it could work out well in your case also.

If you find yourself involved in a long distance relationship,
you should use this article as a guide to help your relationship
be successful in the end. You never really know what cards life
is going to deal to you, so invest in what is important to you,
and find the fulfillment you have always wanted to find in your
own life.

Verify The Identity Of Your Online Dating Match
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



The biggest hurdle that most people face in online dating world
is the question and concern of whether the person at the other
end of the conversation is really who he or she says that they
are. It is hard to get comfortable with the person you are about
to meet, when you have no other connection to that person beyond
an anonymous internet connection.

In the real world of dating, before you go on a first date, you
probably know:

  * Where someone works;
  * Where they live;
  * Who some of their friends are;
  * Where they go to hang out;
  * What they drive...

Sure, you cannot tell a lot about a person from information such
as this, but you can sure tell a friend these things in the event
that something goes awry on your first date. It is always better
to be safe than sorry.

Your friends are able to know something real and truthful about
the person you are about to go on a date with, because you are
able to learn that information before you go on your first date.

But, when you are doing the online dating thing, you can chat or
email back and forth with a potential date, and even after
several months of talking, you could potentially still not know
the first thing about the person you are ready to meet. For all
you know, they could be pathological liars.

With online dating, it is difficult to really know anything about
the person you want to meet, UNLESS, you join a dating website
that has systems in place to verify the information that a person
gives online. For example, does he or she really work where they
say? Do they live where they say? Is that picture on their
profile really what they look like in person?

But, if like me you have been around online dating for a number
of years, it is really difficult to find a website that offers
systems to enable the dating website's management team to verify
any kind of information about their members.

When I took the decision to start an online dating site, I wanted
to set up a system that would allow our management team to verify
information about our members, so that we could offer our members
a safer online dating environment. On our website, with our
latest service upgrade, we finally have the ability to verify
information about our members, providing our members a much more
honest and safe dating community.

Although members are not required to verify their personal
information, we do give our users several ways to verify their
personal information. When a member verifies their personal
information, we show our other members a logo which identifies
what information has been verified in the user's profile.

Online dating should lead to fun and fulfillment, and hopefully,
we have been able to introduce an element to our site that will
let you see our dating community as one of the safer dating
websites available online.

Wal-Mart Has Everything You Need Including Your Next Dating Prospect
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



The difficulty of adult dating was brought home to me the other
day.

My 20-year-old nephew came to live with me and my kids, until he
can get on his own two feet financially. His hometown - my
hometown is really small... providing little opportunity to
someone looking to get started in life on the right foot.

He spends his days looking for a job, and now and again, he will
slip out in the evening time.

I never really gave much thought about his evening time getaways.
He is an adult - he can do what he wants to do with his own time.

But by chance, I asked him the other evening if he had gone to
that bar that allows 18-year-old's to enter. He said he had not.
He explained that he did not feel comfortable enough with finding
his way around town, to be able to find the bar without getting
lost.

A bit surprised, I asked him where he went on Friday night...

His answer was even more surprising...

He was going out to meet girls his own age... Starting
conversations in convenience stores, restaurants, and WAL-MART!!!
Until now, I knew that you could find anything you ever wanted at
Wal-Mart... I just never stopped to think of it as a place to
meet new women... ;-)

I have to give him credit for creativeness...

My nephew is at that somewhat awkward age - after high school and
before he has turned 21. He is also in a new place, where he does
not know his way around town, and in a town where he does not
know anyone but our family and our small circle of friends, all
of whom are at least ten years older and with children.

I do the online dating thing, but to my knowledge, he is not
exploring the prospects for online dating in our town... And even
if he did, although we are in a bigger town than the one he came
from, we are still living in a mid-sized town with limited dating
possibilities. I know this is true, because even though I find
people to date in the town I live in - through online dating
sites - I frequently date people from nearby small towns as well.

His mother - my sister - having been a single mother for most of
the last ten years seems to have taught my nephew the importance
of starting conversations to lead to that next date. His mother
has not had Internet access since she and my nephew's dad were
divorced. So while I was exploring the big beautiful world of
online dating, she was still dating the old-fashioned way.

Ten years down the road, my sister has found a replacement for
her first husband and now she has a new baby at home, nineteen
years younger than her first child. I tease her that she finally
got her kid raised and out of the house, and now she has to do it
all over again...

At first I thought that until my nephew gets into a regular job,
a regular church, and a regular daily routine, I suspected that
it will be somewhat difficult for him in the dating world. But
then again, maybe not... He actually already has a list of phone
numbers he has acquired on his evening time adventures...

In this day and age, many people think of online dating as the
quickest and most economical way to find someone worth spending
their time... But as my nephew has reminded me... There was a
time before the Internet, and those dating techniques used before
the Internet age actually still work today...

So the next time you are out on the town and you meet someone who
strikes your fancy, walk up to them and say Hi. Show interest and
it could lead to a phone number. Finally, with a phone number in
hand, follow up. You never know where that phone call might take
you and your heart's interest...

What My Mother Taught Me About Credit Cards And Family Finances
Copyright (c) 2007-2012 Braxton Heitz
Read Moor
http://readmoor.com/



My mother is an amazing woman. She made some of the hardest jobs
imaginable look easy. No matter how hard her day was, she always
had a smile and perfect hair.

She was mainly a stay at home mom but she worked cleaning houses
when our family's financial situation called for more income. My
dad was a soldier, so he didn't make a lot of money. The
holidays usually wiped out our family savings account, but no one
ever complained.

My mom has always been a money master. Her philosophy is a simple
one that has never failed her. Work hard and spend little.

Mom is not an old woman, but her mother was raised during the
Great Depression and eventually had to raise seven children on
her own. She taught my mom how to make a can of beans last for
weeks and my mom taught me, much to my husband's displeasure.

While I admire my matriarchs' simplistic approach to finances,
it does not address the inevitable problems of credit and taxes.
My education in money matters was limited to just mom's basic
philosophy of life.

The world outside of my parent's traditional home was not quite
what I was expecting, or what I had been prepared to handle.
Despite the best intentions of my foremothers, there are still a
few things that I wish my mother had taught me...


Credit Card Interest Hurts

Getting my own credit card for the first time was such a thrill.
I bought my share of useless junk that I did not need.
Unfortunately, I was not as cautious with my spending as I should
have been.

Before I knew it, my credit card balance was astronomical. I
could barely make my minimum payments. Since I started out with
no credit, my interest rates were astronomical. It took months of
payments before I finally began to pay on the principle and not
just the interest.

After about a year I finally paid off the balance of my initial
expenditures. I've been much more cautious with how much I will
charge on a credit card, since my initial graduation from the
school of hard knocks.


Don't Spend Money You Don't Have

Credit cards are tempting; because they allow us to spend money
we don't have in our pockets. Ideally, when we spend money, we
have the money in our bank accounts and just forgot to go to the
ATM. Of course, most of us know that this is not the case.

Sometimes we spend money on important things. Buying groceries on
Tuesday when we don't get paid until Friday for example. These
are harmless purchases as long as we keep in mind how much we are
getting paid on Friday.

Keeping a budget is probably the greatest thing a credit card
holder can do. With a well-planned budget, anyone can track their
finances in a way that allows them to spend wisely and with
confidence.


Keep a Record And Look At It

With the ease of using credit cards to pay bills and buy stuff,
it can be difficult to keep an accurate record of where our money
is going. Ours is a generation that does not regularly balance
their checkbook. Online banking has made it too easy to just
check our available bank account summaries.

We don't scrutinize every transaction like our parents did. We
simply trust the bank and believe that they would not make any
errors. Credit card companies allow us to make payments online
with out ever receiving a bill.

It has become incredibly easy to ignore the sheer volume of
purchases made in a month. Credit card companies like to help us
in our denial any way they can. But, keeping track of where we
are spending our money is the key to maintaining our accounts and
our credit rating.


Good Credit is Important

A good credit rating can mean the difference between advantageous
and difficult situations. There are many perks to having a good
credit rating. Low APR rates are one of the best benefits of
having a good credit score.

Being able to make major purchases, such as a home or a car, also
requires good credit. The total amount that an individual will
have to pay for a loan is determined by how much he or she pays
in interest. If someone has bad credit, one could end up paying
thousands of dollars more in interest over the life of a loan.

Good credit is easy to come by, if we are responsible. Paying our
bills on time is the best thing we can do to help our credit. Not
putting too much on a credit card or having too many credit
cards, can also improve a person's credit score.


Rewards Are Good

I love presents and I love shopping. Getting rewards from my
credit card company feels like little thank you gifts for
shopping. It is a great feeling. I wish I could get presents for
doing all of the things I like.

While each credit card company is different, almost all of them
offer credit card rewards to their customers for spending money,
something we have to do to anyway. With so many options available
for credit card reward programs, it would be impossible to not
find one suited to our needs.

Reward options are endless. One can receive cash back rewards,
airline miles, travel rewards, or even discounts at some of our
favorite stores. For the more humanitarian shoppers, there are
rewards programs that donate a percentage of a purchase to the
charity of their choice.


Take Advantage of All of the Perks

Special credit card offers are some of the best ways to save
money on items we would have to purchase anyway, no matter what.
Everyday household items are a necessity. Taking advantage of a
0% interest credit card offer on a cash back rewards card can
help us earn money for buying something we truly need.

Many online websites are dedicated to helping consumers find the
right credit card for their needs. If we take the time to
properly research what it available, we can uncover a whole world
of moneymaking possibilities. They exist right under our nose.

In many cases, it is possible to fill out an online credit card
application and receive instant credit card approval. There are
countless ways to find a credit card application for the
consumer's card of choice.

Contacting a favorite store and inquiring about their credit
options is an easy way to save money where we like to shop. Many
people choose to receive a credit card from their bank to help
establish a better relationship with the bank.


Final Thoughts

It is amazing how much we learn from experience. Unfortunately,
most of it is from bad experiences. I know I would much rather
learn from someone else's mistakes, but people generally do not
like to talk about their bleak financial histories.

My parents did a good job of teaching me how to work hard and
build a good life. Knowing about all of the rules and pitfalls
surrounding credit, loans and credit cards was sadly missing from
my life lessons.

Schools are beginning to offer personal finance courses, but they
do not yet require students to take them. Every year, more and
more people declare bankruptcy and our schools do nothing to
educate our youth about the pitfalls of taking on too much
credit.

With a sound foundation of the demands of responsible spending,
credit cards can be a great tool. Whether you discover through
experience or education, the knowledge of how to care for your
finances will be one of the most important things you ever learn.

Dating Rules Explained: How to Turn Your Date Into a Relationship
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 RoseMary Alberts
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com/



How adults behave on a date depends more on their intentions
towards the other person than it does on other factors. For
instance, a man who really likes a woman is going to behave
differently towards her than he would a woman he is only casually
interested in. Sometimes, it is hard to know the difference.

If you really like a guy, you may not be paying attention to his
body language, the inflection of his voice as he speaks, or the
tone of voice in which he is speaking, and so might miss some of
the non verbal cues that would otherwise clue you in to what he
is thinking, and how he views you. Does he view you as a
potential partner, or a potential bed partner?

We all know the dating rules, or at least enough of them to know
what to do and what not to do on a date. However, if you are
dating for real, some of those rules don't apply. The rules for
dating were largely established a few decades ago to make it
easier for people to date, and figure out how to behave towards
each other when they had no idea how dating between a man and a
woman is supposed to work.

When you date for real, as in you are looking for a lasting
connection with a man, rather than a fleeting infatuation, you
are more likely to put yourself out there, be more honest and
more direct than you would be normally. The interesting side
effect of such blatant courage is that the man you are showing
your real self to is blown away by your honesty and will probably
respond in kind. A real relationship is not based on mind games
or attempts at power plays or control.

If you begin your association with communication, honesty, and
forthrightness, the chances are good that that will be the basis
for the dynamic of your relationship. If you or he goes the other
way, and depends upon a list of antiquated guidelines to look to
for correct behavior, the relationship will never really get off
the ground because neither of you will ever really get to know
the other person.

It's not about being polite, its about being you, the real you.

What happens a lot of times is that a woman will meet a man that
she likes or who fits all of her idealistic relationship
criteria: he is successful, he is good looking, intelligent, has
a nice body, etc.....then she will try to figure out what he
wants in a woman, and she will mold her personality to fit into
what she THINKS he wants. Then what happens?

He is still not having a relationship with her. He is having a
relationship with the woman he thinks she is. But she will soon
grow tired of this game, and he will eventually notice that she
is unhappy but will be unable to figure out why.

Dating for real is scary because it means that you have to let
the other person in. You have to let them see who you really are
in order to start something. Just as you need to see who he
really is. You need to fight through the nice clothes, and the
fancy car, and the sexy voice, down to who he is on the inside.

It's a long, arduous frustrating journey, but at the end of all
that, guess what you will have? You will have a bond with a man
who knows you don't look like Tyra Banks in the morning when you
wake up, but loves you anyway.

So many men are looking for good women, and so many women are
looking for good men, and they are all around us all the time.
They are lonely and confused and have a few dings and scratches,
or even a humdinger of a dent, but with a little care and
patience, and honesty, they could be good for us.

What we put into a relationship is what we get out of a
relationship. If you're dating for real, be yourself. If he
takes off, he is not the one for you. That's all it is.

This is life. We are going to be rejected. It happens. But don't
shy away from being yourself for fear of rejection.

The hypothetical man in the above story just wanted a woman to be
with who he could share his time and his life with. If she had
been authentic with him from the beginning, things would have
been different.

Be Real. That is the only dating rule you really need to follow.

Online Dating Is Easy, But Successful Relationships Require Hard Work
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 Denice Ritter
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com/



My nineteenth anniversary will be here in a week and a half.

So what's so exceptional about that in Mormon Utah? Just this: I
have a mail-order husband. He has a mail-order bride.

Nineteen years ago, there weren't any dating sites online; in
fact, there wasn't any online to put them on.

So I bought a copy of the Mensa directory and went systematically
through every male in the book, looking at the coded information
for men within five years one way or the other of my age, widowed
or divorced (because a man who is 40 and has never married has
something wrong with him), shared my religion, shared at least
three interests, and was in biorhythm sync with me at lest half
the time.

I wound up with ten names.

I prepared letters to each of them and, despite my
fourteen-year-old daughter's "Mom, you're not going to MAIL
those letters. MOM, you're not going to mail those letters. Mom,
you're NOT going to mail those letters," I mailed them.

I got four responses: a gay man, a man who had been
excommunicated for being caught in bed with his sister-in-law, a
teacher who had been in the Peace Corps in Africa and wanted to
go back to Africa and "Gee, you must make a lot of money writing
mysteries." The fourth was Tom.

I sat down in the living room laughing as I read the letter from
Tom.

When my father asked what was so funny, I said, "Daddy, I think
I'm going to marry this man."

Ten years ago online dating services still weren't available.

But my favorite college student, out of all the students I
taught, met a man from Australia on a science fiction website.
They were married five months later. Heidi moved to Australia and
so far, has lived happily ever after. I met her husband a few
months ago, and I think she's going to continue to live happily
ever after.

Two years ago, online dating services were going great guns. A
neighbor of ours, getting ready to move to Alaska and knowing the
male-female ratio there, signed up for the dating service. He and
his bride headed for Alaska two weeks after getting married and
are still there.

What do I think of online dating services? I think good ones are
great.

I often hear people say "I fell in love at first sight." But
they didn't. What they fell into was lust. Good arranged
marriages during Medieval and Renaissance times worked better
than most marriages spawned in our modern age - online or
offline.

A good dating service can do just what I did, only a lot faster
because it can use the computer. It can match people for what
they identify as important to them. It can screen out pairs that
look surface compatible, but have underlying incompatibilities.

When Tom and I married, we were not yet in love with each other.
But we knew that we had enough things in common that we could
build a workable marriage. That is what we did, and we grow more
in love with each other every day.

An online dating service can't provide someone you can love at
first sight, but it can provide someone with whom you have enough
in common that you can build a workable marriage. You just have
to do the work.

Cutting Through The Information Overload: Grab Your Readers' Attention With a
Great Title
Copyright (c) 2011-2012 Bill Platt
Writing Puzzle
http://WritingPuzzle.com/



As avid readers, we have trained our brains to scan the headlines
looking for something that might suit our desires... This article
will give you a solid understanding of how to grab your readers
by the eyeballs and get them to open and read your articles...

You Have Only a Split-Second To Make A Good First Impression

Think about how you browse the Internet, and you will know this
to be true. We scan the titles / headlines, looking for something
to pop off the page...

When something reaches up and grabs us by the eyeballs, we take a
closer look...

We look at the title with a greater attention to detail, and if a
description is available, we will look at the description to see
if it agrees with the title enough to merit our continued
interest.

The decision to look at a title with more attention is usually
made within a split-second. The decision to open the article is
usually made in ten seconds or less.

Keywords in a Title Help

There are certain keywords that when seen in a title will be the
trigger someone to look closer at the article title.

Contrary to what you may have heard elsewhere, it is not always
necessary for your target keywords to be in the front part of the
title.

Your keywords only need to be "in the title" somewhere, in
order to attract the readers' eyeballs to your title.

The title should be constructed to build curiosity in the article
and to lead the reader to make a decision to open and read the
article.

Let me reiterate this point, because it is that important. The
purpose of the title is to get the article opened, and the
inclusion of keywords in the title is to attract eyeballs to the
title.

Let The Article Description Build On The Progress Made With The
Title

In some cases, your article title will be accompanied by an
article description, but not always.

Your article description should be constructed to create even
more interest in the article by giving some additional details
about what can be expected to be found within the article itself.

Often times, the first paragraph of the article is used as the
article description.

If both are the same, that is fine. But if both the article
description and the first paragraph of the article are different,
then both should be constructed with the same goal in mind. Both
should be constructed to build more interest in the article, to
ensure that the reader makes a decision to keep reading.

The Goal Is To Get Someone To Your Resource Box To Take An Action

As article writers, our goal is always to get the reader to our
articles' Resource Box to get them to take the actions we want
them to take.

But there are many hurdles that we must overcome, before the
reader can take the action we want them to take.

We must get our articles into a location where people are likely
to find them.

An article that never gets opened, never gets read.

An article that does not hold the readers' attention until the
end of the article will fail to deliver on its intended goal of
getting the reader to the resource box.

A closing paragraph or resource box that tells the reader that
they have come to the end of the article, before the reader has
been presented with a call-to-action is also an article that
fails to achieve its real potential.

And a resource box that does not get read is a resource box that
missed the mark.

After all that could have gone wrong in the process of the
article, the writer faces one more challenge that is often more
difficult than all other challenges to overcome...

Writers Must Be Able To Overcome Writers' Block and Get The
Article Written

I'd be lying if I said that I never experienced writers' block,
even after having written thousands of articles in the last
decade.

2009 was a turning point for me as a writer.

That was when I discovered an awesome method of increasing my
writing speed reliably and consistently.

To be honest, when I had my revelation, I was able to cut my
average writing time from around two hours to just under 20
minutes.

My new article writing strategy begins with good research. If you
get my 20-Minute Article report, I will teach you how to do your
research and organize that research in such a way that you will
be able to write most of your articles in less than 20 minutes as
well, without having to sacrifice the good quality content that
you need to attract readers and keep them on your article until
they have seen your call-to-action.

Article Marketing Tips: How Consumers Read Your Articles
Copyright (c) 2010-2012 Bill Platt
Writing Puzzle
http://WritingPuzzle.com/



If you are an article marketer, or you have entertained the
possibility of writing articles, then keep reading...

In this article, I define the Six Essential Elements of writing
articles that generates traffic and produces sales for your
website...

It will all begin to make sense to you when you step into the
shoes of your readers... Because once you understand how your
readers read your articles, it becomes rather obvious what your
articles need to include in order for you to generate interest in
your article, and successfully deliver visitors to your
website...

Once you understand the "how and why" of writing great
articles, you will have the knowledge necessary to help you join
the ranks of the article marketing superstars... But if you miss
the point of this article, you are instead likely to join the
ranks of the people who whine about how Article Marketing a
scam...

There Are Six Essential Elements of Successful Article Marketing:

1. Title - Many people suggest that you should put your top
keywords at the front of your article title, but I don't
subscribe to that methodology. I do include my target keywords in
the title, when I can, but an article that is well-optimized for
the search engines is worthless if it does not get published...
The #1 goal of your articles' title is to get the article
opened!! You must present a title that is going to get the
attention of publishers and readers; you must present a title
that is going to compel a person to at least open your article to
see if they will want to read it...

2. Opening Paragraph - The title got your article opened, but now
you need your reader to read the article... Tell your reader why
they should keep reading your article and read it to its
conclusion... Any reader who does not reach your website from
your article is a "missed opportunity" to sell your stuff...
Show people why it will be in their best interest to finish
reading your article...

3. The Article Body - The article body must meet the promise of
the Article Title and the opening paragraph... The article body
must retain the interest of the reader to the last word... The
article body should tell a story people want to read, and leave
them wanting more... The article body must successfully carry the
reader to the articles' closing paragraph and to your Author's
Resource Box...

4. Your Closing Paragraph - Ideally, when your reader reaches the
last paragraph of an article, the reader should be happy to have
read the article to its conclusion. This is the first point about
your closing paragraph. The second is that the closing paragraph
should successfully bridge the reader from the article to the
Authors' Resource Box. After all, the Authors' Resource Box is
where the writer will get paid for having invested the effort
into writing the article. When the reader reads the resource box
and takes the action the author asked him or her to take, then
the process of writing has the opportunity to offer the writer
great rewards.

5. The Authors' Resource Box - The Authors' Resource Box needs
to transition the reader from your article to your website, by
offering a compelling call-to-action to get the reader to go to
your website... Tell who you are, but don't go overboard...
People do not care who you are or what you have done - they only
care about what else you can do for them... Jeff Herring wrote a
great article that elaborates a bit further on how to construct
an effective Resource Box here (
http://ezinearticles.com/?id=3624961 )...

6. Your Landing Page - You should never try to sell your products
or services in your Authors' Resource Box. Instead, you should
try to get the reader to your website, where you have an
unlimited number of words, videos, pictures and testimonials to
tell the real story of your products or services. Few vendors
have the ability to sell a product or service in 500 characters,
so you should use your Authors' Resource Box to get the reader
to your website, where you will do the real selling...

Tell A Story People Want To Read

Often, the difference between someone who will try to write an
article for $5 and the professional writer who understands the
value of his or her work can be defined simply...

The person writing an article for $5 will "beat around the
bush" for five hundred words, without ever actually saying
anything of any real value to anyone... The person who works for
$5 an article is just putting words on a page so that he or she
can be paid...

The person who demands $40 to $500 to write an article is a
master of story-telling... He or she will tell a story that
people will want to read, and therefore a story that publishers
will want to publish...

The authors who tell a story that "people are happy to have
read" will find their articles on more high-quality websites,
and they will find more people visiting their websites, as a
result of having read the article...

Words on a page only please search engines, but a story on a page
will ALSO attract readers, visitors and paying customers to your
website...

Interestingly, most online marketing gurus who advise hiring
people to write $5 articles fail to tell the whole truth -- they
fail to point out that articles that pass real link popularity to
a website must have link popularity to pass on to your website...

People don't link to articles that are nothing more than "words
on a page", but people will link to a story that needs
telling... Just like with Jeff Herring's article linked above;
his story is worth sharing with you, and as a result, it has
gained its own links from people who do not know Jeff
personally... (I have never met Jeff Herring or talked to him by
phone or email. It was an honest recommendation for a great
article written by him.)

Jeff's article has gained its own link popularity, by merit of
it being a good story... As a result, Jeff's article will pass
real link popularity back to his website, because it has real
value for readers and real link popularity to share...

Article Marketing Will Not Work For Everyone...

There are a great number of us who have made a lot of money with
article marketing... Then there are thousands of others who have
never made any money at all with article marketing...

When you want to find success with an online business, you should
mirror those people who have been successful...

Article Marketing is no different... If you have ever visited a
website or purchased a product, as a result of having read an
article that mentioned the website or product, take another look
at the article that drove you to action... Try to understand the
"how" and "why" that article worked, and then try to figure
out how you can duplicate the formula for yourself...

Chances are good that you will see my "Six Essential Elements of
Successful Article Marketing" in those articles that you are
reviewing...

Fortunately, you don't have to take my word for what I am
telling you in this article... Whenever you find an article that
moves you to visit the website shown in the Authors' Resource
Box, take another look at the article to see how closely it
matches with the "Six Essential Elements" I shared with you in
this article... You may be surprised by what you learn...

Increase Your Online Dating Success By Including The Most Appropriate Photos
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 Kandice Skaggs
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com/



Because so many people are using dating sites now, it is hard to
stand out in a crowd.

You need to get the other viewers' attention in less than 10
seconds. You have to grab it. Because people are so visual, a
photo is essential.

A photograph may be optional in order to set up a profile, but
typing your life story is not going to get you anywhere if no one
looks at your profile. If anything, you should have the photo up
first, before anything else.

Most sites have an option where the people browsing profiles can
check a box indicating they only want to see profiles with
photos.

Just as in real life, first impressions count. Your primary photo
should be taken in good lighting and really show your face. Take
off the hat and sunglasses and don't stare into the sun. Look
directly into the camera. Don't duck your head down or turn in
profile.

Some people advise black and white photos. This can cover up some
minor flaws in your complexion and make you look mysterious and
intellectual. Black and white photos can fall flat if they are
out of focus, however. Besides, most people prefer color photos.

Pick colors that make you stand out from the background. Also,
pick colors that don't make you look too sallow. Yellow and
green can be risky.

Some men feel tempted to crop the top of the photo to conceal the
receding hairline. Women are not fooled by that.

Don't hide behind objects, either. Men are not fooled by that.

If you misrepresent yourself in the photo on your profile, you
can't hide what you look like when you finally meet. It could be
very embarrassing to have your date excuse him or herself,
especially after that horrified look of discovery.

Try to pose in a photo doing something that is natural to you. If
you are not into skiing or body surfing, don't submit photos of
yourself doing those activities. You might wind up dating a
fanatic who does those activities too often for your taste.

Now, there is one topic that is very delicate and I am going to
have to take you gentlemen aside and say this as gently as I can.
If you are a heterosexual male, do not ever submit a photo of
yourself nude, especially below the belt. Ever. Some shirtless
photos can be fine in context, but be realistic about your
physical condition.

Ladies, similar advice applies, but I want to layer on the issue
of personal safety. Do you really want a stranger to rush you?

Another thing to remember is who is in the photo. Don't put
photos of your minor children on the Internet. It is not safe for
the kids. Your date can meet the kids later.

Avoid photos with attractive members of the appropriate sex. Even
if she's your daughter, women are not going to know what to
think when they see your fifty year old self with a hot 25 year
old who might look like you.

Never ever put photos of yourself with your ex cropped out. It
won't kill you to get some fresh photos taken.

Secondary photos can be fun. That's where you can have a photo
of yourself with your dog, your Harley, your sunglasses and even
a gorilla mask.

Photos of just your pets, your possessions or locations won't
help your cause either. If you are afraid to show your face in
public, most people will assume that the reason is that you
really do have something to hide.

After ten years of dating, Kandice Skaggs finally met the man
of her dreams online. After dating for more than one year, her
and her fiancee decided to get married. Kandice suggests that
you should set up a profile on as many websites as possible,
because you never know where Mr. or Ms. Right might be hanging
out online. For adult dating, one of her favorite sites was:

Successful Article Marketers Help Readers Solve Problems

See TERMS OF REPRINT to the end of the article.

Article Description:
Every week, I have the opportunity to speak with people about the
benefits and challenges of using article marketing to promote an
online business. Article marketing is about getting your sales
message in front of potential customers and to get links to your
website. Many interpret this to mean that an article should
directly promote a website within the article, but that approach
is wrong and will reduce one's success using this methodology.

Successful Article Marketers Help Readers Solve Problems
Copyright (c) 2008-2012 Bill Platt

Every week, I have the opportunity to speak with people about the
benefits and challenges of using article marketing to promote an
online business. Of course, article marketing is about getting
your sales message in front of potential customers and to get
links to your website, from the page where an article is posted
online.

Where most people get confused with article marketing is with the
idea that "it is a method to promote one's website." Many
interpret this to mean that an article should directly promote
the writer's website within the article, but that approach is
wrong and will reduce one's success using this methodology.

Understanding The Overall Article Marketing Strategy

Consider this. Television has been a successful advertising
medium for more than six decades, because TV stations understand
the importance of providing content to anchor the advertising. In
every television hour, there are 42 minutes of content to provide
an anchor for 18 minutes of advertising. People tune into the
content out of a desire to receive the content, and they accept
the advertising as a necessary price to pay in order to get the
content for free.

Article marketing works best when the writer emulates the
television-advertising model, by anchoring a sales message to
content that people want to consume.

The role of article marketing is to capture an audience for the
writer's website advertisement, which should be presented in the
"resource box" / "about the author" information that appears
in the paragraph immediately following the actual article. But,
in order to capture that audience, an article needs to tell a
story that publishers and webmasters desire to share with their
readers.

How To Capture An Audience

When people ask me what they should write about in their
articles, I always ask them a set of three questions to help them
to define a successful strategy. Those three questions are as
follows:

1. What do you sell?

2. Who is most likely to buy what you are selling?

3. What types of problems are common to those people that you may
be able to answer?

Publishers and webmasters have a responsibility to their visitors
to provide the kind of content that people actually "want" to
read. I have heard publishers and webmasters state that if you
want to sell to their readers, buy advertising. But if you were
willing to teach something of value to their readers, then by all
means, they would be happy to give you an advertisement in the
"about the author" section at the end of your article, as
payment for allowing them to share your information with their
readers.

So, if you want an audience for your website's sales message,
you should strive to give publishers the kind of information that
they would like to share with their readers. If you give readers
what they want, publishers will be willing to give you what you
want - a chance to share the story of your business with the
publishers' readers and website visitors.

Give Readers What They Want

When people go to a search engine, a website, a newsletter or
blog, people are looking for information that will help them to
address a problem they face. In short, people go online to find
solutions for problems.

Since I desire to reach the people most likely to buy my products
or services, I want to write content that will appeal directly to
those people. When I sit down to write, I try to identify a
problem that many people might have, and then I strive to locate
and offer a solution to the problem.

When publishers and webmasters agree that the problem addressed
is real and my solution is sound, my articles find huge
audiences.

When my articles answer a reader's problem, my "about the
author" information gets read. When my "about the author"
information appeals to the reader, my website gets a new visitor.
And for every new visitor my website gets, I have one more chance
to sell my products and services to another potential client.

In Closing

There are certain people online, whose articles you have seen
frequently on many websites and in some of your favorite
newsletters. If you read those articles with an analytical eye,
you will soon realize that what I tell you is true. Those people
who put the focus of their articles on helping others to solve
problems are the people whose articles are published most often
and in the largest range of newsletters and websites.

Article marketing works well for those of us who seek to help
readers solve problems.

For those who are looking to escape this tried-and-true method of
article marketing, I wish you well. But I stand firm in the
belief that if you put more focus on helping people solve more
problems, you will benefit from article marketing in ways that
other people can only dream.

Are All Online Dating Profiles Faked? Get the Facts
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



Online dating... the whole concept sounds very exciting yet
mysterious.

There are people around the world who have done the online dating
thing, many of which were able to find their soulmates.

Most of us have dated at least offline, and some of us have dated
online. Either way, online dating can be a good experience for
each one of us - if we don't let the bad outshine the good.

It has been said that risk is required to attain great reward.
And after having heard some of the stories about the online
dating experience, you just about have to concede that sometimes
online dating brings with it great risk. Well, everything in this
world involves some drawbacks and dangers with it and so does
online dating.

Where there are good people, there may also be bad people. It is
a risk we all take when we choose to socialize with others.

The greatest risk of online dating is that the person with whom
you are speaking is not who he or she says that they are. Of
course, that could happen in the real world of dating, but it is
not as prevelent as it is online.

The people who are faking their online identity fall into one of
three groups: lonely people, married people (sometimes also
lonely married people), and the criminal element.

Ladies, don't think that a reference to the criminal element
only includes men who seek to harm women. More so, most of the
criminal element in the online dating world are those who are
looking for a mark for an identity fraud or money scam. Whether
you are a man or woman, you should be forewarned that if someone
starts asking for money to pay for some emergency expense, then
you are probably talking to a criminal involved in some sort of
money scam. You know, it might be different if you have met this
individual in person, but if you have never met them and they are
asking for money... BEWARE!

Faking an online identity on a dating website is not always
indicative of a fraudulent mind. When lonely, some people simply
create an online identity that might be more exciting and more
attractive to others. This kind of fake may not hurt you
physically or financially, but it may very well put a long-term
relationship on the rocks as the deceptions are discovered.

By far, the most common reason for faking an online dating
website identity is the ignorant spouse at home. He or she might
be a wretch, but being a wretch does not make them dangerous.

The online dating websites have gotten pretty good over the years
at setting up systems to identify and target the criminal
elements within the dating site. Typically, the male or female
criminal scammer will be identified and deleted from the dating
websites' database within 24-48 hours. So, if you find yourself
talking to someone and their profile is shown to be deleted in
mid-sentence, you can usually rest assured that the online dating
site just saved you a world of headache and heartache.

While the dating websites are good at detecting and deleting the
criminal scammers from the dating community, the dating websites
are less inclined to eliminate the married members from their
database. However, some of the bigger dating websites have
provided mechanisms for members to prove that they are who they
say they are, for the purpose of giving the website a method to
tell its other members whether the individual has submitted proof
of identity to them or not. The married guys and gals usually
won't go through the proof of identity process, for fear that
his or her significant other will find out about the attempt to
cheat.

But before you go jumping to any conclusions about an individual
on an online dating website, keep in mind that many people simply
will not go through the identity verification process, for a
number of reasons:

1. Too much hassle;

2. It sometimes costs money; and

3. Some people are afraid to give private data to some unknown
third-party that might be operating the website.

The truth is that the online dating community should be treated
as a buyer-beware process. While most people who frequent the
online dating websites are honest, single and looking for love,
there are a few out there who are not.

If you gather a group of people in any single setting, whether it
is an online dating website, a church, or a grocery store, most
of the people you will find at that setting are good, honest,
hard-working people. So, when you are online, you should look at
the online dating experience as one where most people will be
above-board, honest, and sincere. But you should also keep in the
back of your mind that you do not know for sure what you are
getting until which time you are able to prove to yourself that
the person at the other end of the conversation is exactly who
you believe that they are.

When searching for that proof of sincerity, keep in mind that
lesson from our youth... Liars will never be able to keep their
lies straight, and they will always begin to make mistakes and
let the truth slip out.

At the end of the day, the online dating community is just one
more way for people to meet a potential love interest. It is a
way where you can meet people that you would not have been able
to meet otherwise, and who knows, it might work out to be the
best love connection you will ever make.

After divorce, the word "dating" scares a lot of people.
If you've been married a long time you probably have lost
track of all the unwritten rules or even how to go about

going to meet someone. You may meet someone there, but it
depends on what you are looking for. But, if you are looking

Take The Dating Scene One Step At A Time, After Divorce
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 RoseMary Alberts
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com/



After divorce, the word "dating" scares a lot of people.

If you've been married a long time you probably have lost track
of all the unwritten rules or even how to go about meeting new
eligible people. Many people immediately take off for the clubs
thinking that that is the place they are going to meet someone.
You may meet someone there, but it depends on what you are
looking for.

Assuming that the divorce has left you wondering what to do with
the rest of your life, a trip to the club may be what the doctor
ordered to see what is going on in the world. Don't think,
however, that this is where to find the woman or man of your
dreams, as this rarely happens at the clubs.

Look around you. Who are your friends? Is there someone you think
is attractive but are afraid to ask out on a date?

I have always found that an initial casual non-date is the best
way to break the ice. "Hey I'm taking off for lunch would you
like to join me?" That is a very simple way to break the ice
with someone, in my opinion, and it gives you a chance to see if
this person really is who you thought they were.

Their reaction, whether "Yes I would" or "No I can't" will
tell you something, and then you can take it from there. If the
answer is yes, and you hit it off at lunch - then that simply
no-strings-attached meal will have laid the groundwork for asking
her/him out for a date in the near future.

It's not rocket science. If you are like me, your friends always
have someone they'd like you to meet.

I took the opportunity to meet everyone I could after my husband
died. You never know when the right person might come along. It
often happens when you least expect it and not when you're out
looking for that special person.

The important thing to do when you start dating again is not to
immediately get yourself tied down. In the rare chance that you
do meet the girl/guy of your dreams, then just go for it. That is
a rare event, so take your time and explore your options and meet
a number of people and enjoy the diversity of personalities,
likes and dislikes.

I have been successful in maintaining a few good casual
relationships and enjoy the company of these friends from time to
time. I explore different vacation places, learn from their
experiences and share opinions, desires and goals.

You'd be surprised at how many people have things they'd like
to do, but never did because there was no one to do them with. By
exchanging ideas and dreams and those things in your bucket list,
you may find that you have a common desire to do something or
travel somewhere.

There's nothing better than visiting a place that you've never
been and sharing it with someone who is also seeing it for the
first time. I also enjoy seeing places I never knew I was
interested in but my friend was, and I ended up being pleasantly
surprised with the trip.

So the whole thing about dating again is to keep an open mind and
explore the world, because it is probably all new to you now,
especially after years of marriage.

Article Title:
Credit Card Companies Reward Consumers Who Shop Around

See TERMS OF REPRINT to the end of the article.

Article Description:
With Ronald Reagan came mass deregulation in many industries. One
of the industries that benefited from deregulation was the
financial industry. As a result, hundreds of new financial
companies were introduced to the American consumer during the
1980's. With the sudden explosion of new competitors in this
industry, credit card companies began to struggle with how to
retain existing customers and to recruit new customers.

Credit Card Companies Reward Consumers Who Shop Around
Copyright (c) 2007-2012 Braxton Heitz
Read Moor
http://readmoor.com/



With Ronald Reagan came mass deregulation in many industries. One
of the industries that benefited from deregulation was the
financial industry. As a result, hundreds of new financial
companies were introduced to the American consumer during the
1980's.

With the sudden explosion of new competitors in this industry,
credit card companies began to struggle with how to retain
existing customers and to recruit new customers.

So, financial companies took their cue from the airline industry.
The airline industry had preceded the financial industry in
deregulation, and they had met the new increase in competition
with Airline Miles programs to encourage brand loyalty and repeat
customers.

Noting the successes in the airline industry, credit card
companies soon began to offer their own clients Airline Miles for
repeat business. But, Airline Miles were not attractive to the
whole of the consumer credit card market.


Credit Card Providers Upped The Ante

Once the credit companies realized that Airline Miles could only
offer them limited success, they began to spread their wings and
to offer additional credit card reward programs to their
potential customer base.

Banks eventually changed the name of their rewards from credit
card miles to credit card points to address the fact that
consumers could earn far more from their company than just free
travel. Consumers began to sit up and really take notice of these
new kinds of credit card offers.

Through the 1990's and into the new millennium, consumers began
to find that most of the primary players in the credit card
market were offering various mixes of credit card rewards. The
most common credit rewards offered are still airline, travel,
gas, and cash-back rewards.

Other types of credit card rewards offered to consumers include
low-interest or 0-interest credit card balance transfers. Another
type of reward is 0-interest or low-interest borrowing for the
first six-months or one-year.

Credit Tip #1: Credit card balance transfers and early-bird
credit card offers such as the no interest for six months will
remain in effect for the full amount of time stated, so long as
all credit card payments are made on-time. A single late payment
on one's credit card payment will likely be viewed as a breach
of contract, leading to a higher interest rate from the date of
the late payment or even from the credit card sign-up date.
Whatever you do, make all of your credit card payments on time
for the entire amount due according to your monthly statement.


Expanded Travel Rewards Brought Real Value to Consumers

Credit card travel points were a real blessing for ordinary
consumers. Family vacations are generally taken within 200 miles
of home, so most consumers would never use the free airline
travel offered with credit card miles programs.

Credit card points or travel rewards offered more options to
consumers as to how the consumer rewarded themselves for their
loyalty to the credit card company. In many cases, travel rewards
can be extended to include fuel, hotel rooms, attraction entrance
fees, and food at restaurants. As a result, consumers can expect
to utilize their travel rewards, even if they jump in the car and
drive down to the next major city.


Cash-Back Rewards Added A New Dimension To The Financial Game

Credit cards can be your best financial friend if you know how to
work the system.

Cash back rewards range from one- to ten-percent of the amount
spent on the credit card.  Clever consumers make those cash-back
rewards really count by using them for all of their purchases.

One can start the month by putting their paycheck into the bank
and then use their cash-back credit card to pay for everything
that can be paid with a credit card through the month. This might
include groceries, food, fuel, utilities, car payments, house
payments, etc. As each credit card purchase is transacted, the
consumer should write down the amount of the expenditure in their
checkbook. Then at the end of the month, when their credit card
bill arrives, the consumer can write a check for the entire
balance of their card for that particular month.

This way, the consumer can maximize their cash-back rewards and
never carry a balance on their credit card. If one pays $3000 per
month in bills, and all of those bills can be paid with their
credit card, the consumer could very well receive an extra
$30-300 back from their credit card company.

Credit Tip #2: The added benefit of using this method of bill
paying is that you are building your credit rating as you pay off
the entire balance of the credit card each month.


Selecting the Right Credit Card Offer

Don't be afraid to shop around to find the best credit card
offers. Before you begin your search, sit down and sketch out
some goals that you would like to reach using your credit card.

Perhaps you would like to transfer your credit card balance from
one high-percentage credit card to one with a lower interest
rate. Maybe you are more interested in the percentage value of
cash-back reward. You might want to get a credit card that offers
extra points or a credit card offer that will let you earn credit
card points towards the purchase of a Sony big screen television.
Whatever your financial goals might be, make sure you know what
they are before you begin your search.

On your first pass, eliminate the credit card offers that do not
provide the kinds of rewards that you are looking to achieve.
Your first selection round will generally narrow your field by
two-thirds.

Once you have knocked down the list of offers, then get out a
pencil and paper and develop a checklist that will allow you to
compare each offer side-by-side. This phase will let you
determine which credit card will best serve all of your desires.
Of course, you may have to make compromises with yourself, but
when you are done, you will have found the best credit card offer
for your situation.

If you have the bank's brochure in front of you, it will likely
have a credit card application inside of it that you can fill out
and send in to the company. If you are relying upon credit card
applications by mail, make sure you keep your list handy until
you have gotten a card you are happy with using.

If you have an Internet connection, you will be able to shop a
huge variety of credit card offers. By following the method shown
above, you can make a good decision about the cards you want to
try to acquire, and you can file an online credit card
application with the expectation of getting an answer on that
card within just a few minutes. If you are turned down on your
top pick, then move on to your second top pick. By using the
Internet, you can actually reduce your credit card shopping time
by as much as weeks.

21 Tips for Defeating Writer's Block
Copyright (c) 2011-2012 Trey Pennewell
Writing Puzzle
http://WritingPuzzle.com/



One of the most difficult aspects of article writing and
marketing, once you have been doing it for a longer period of
time, is how to come up with fresh topics to write about. It is
even more difficult to put your finger on ideas that are hot and
related to your topic.

Here are some suggestions to help you get those creative juices
flowing again.

  * Visit forums related to your niche. Spend 30 minutes a day in
forums related to your niche. Write down common questions or
inquiries and use those to craft articles.

  * Visit the Q&A sites like Yahoo Answers. If one person has
asked the question, chances are there are many more who have it
but are afraid to ask. Answer the most common questions you see
with a new article.

  * Check the news. Being on top of the industry news will help
you be able to write related articles as the news events take
place. This can also be a great way to grab expanded exposure. By
piggy backing off the hot topic you can grab way more readers
then you would with a normal topic. And not just the big news
stations either. Some of the smaller more local stations may have
topics not covered by the larger ones and can be a potential
goldmine for ideas.

  * Set up a Google alert for your topic. This way you'll be
emailed how ever frequently you choose, with up to date blogs and
posts and new stories related to your topic that you can get and
gain ideas from.

  * Spend 30 minutes brainstorming. Do not allow yourself to focus
on anything but your topic. This will get easier the more times
you do it. It can be difficult the first few times to get your
mind to actually produce something, but once you've done it a
few times your mind will know you mean business and will help you
populate ideas quite quickly.

  * Use Google's wonder wheel for ideas. Instead of using it to
get keywords, use it to help you get some ideas as to what to
write about.

  * Create a mind map about your topic. And then each and every
sub-topic that you come up with, until you have multiple mini
mind maps and plenty of ideas to source article topics from.

  * If you're really stuck, check out the competition. Seeing
what they are writing about may give you ideas of what to write
about.

  * Re-purpose old articles. But, not by rewriting them. Instead
approach the same topic from another angle. If your topic was say
5 tips to succeed in article writing, a new approach would be 5
things to avoid in article writing, or 5 tips to improve, or a
better way to do it. Just using the same general idea, and giving
it life in a new way can be the perfect method to get unstuck.

  * Check out the bookstore or the library. The ones that have
real books. Look at some of the ones related to your niche and
see if you can't gain some writing ideas from them.

  * Go to e-book sites as well. Do the same thing as you did with
Amazon and the library. Look for titles in your niche, and use
those to help you get new creative ideas to write about.

  * Use seasonal events to your advantage. Instead of just writing
about autism, write about how to help autistic children cope with
Christmas, or other such seasonal event related topics.

  * Carry a notebook with you. Ever feel like you've got the
perfect idea but are not at home and able to write the article
right away. Carry around a notebook so that when the idea strikes
you can jot it down before you forget it again.

  * Get away from the computer for a bit. Real life and real life
situations may give you ideas you never would have come up with
by simply sitting in front of your monitor. Use real life
experiences and events to create ideas and creativity for your
articles.

  * Talk to industry leaders. Just a quick Q and A with someone in
the industry may prompt ideas you would have never thought of
otherwise.

  * Read. By reading what others have wrote on the topic you may
be able to come up with ideas of your own, or a new twist on an
old idea. The best writers and the most avid of readers.

  * Along the same lines as reading, read articles in some of your
favorite authority blogs and websites. One of my favorite blogs
is Mashable.com. They may bring to mind a thought or idea you may
not have thought of otherwise.

  * Join a mastermind group. Being able to float ideas around with
others and discuss your topic can help breathe new life into a
topic you found going stale. And, it is a great way to set up
potential cross promotions with others in your niche for the
future.

  * Use your imagination. Put yourself into the mind of your
target audience, and figure out questions and topics that may be
important to them and write about them. Just a little bit of
imagination and role playing can lead to many new ideas.

  * Watch movies or television shows related to your niche. They
may cover topics or ideas you may not have previously covered or
thought about.

  * Think about your own personal experiences. There may be things
within them that you can revisit and create topics about, with a
good solid base of reality to make for a more interesting and
informative article.

Hopefully these ideas will help you come up with and create your
own ideas and topics to write about. Ideas are limitless, you
just need to develop the skills to mine the topics and ideas out
of the things around you. The more you write and the more you
strive to generate ideas, the more ideas you'll eventually come
up with.

Getting Past First Base In The Dating Game
Copyright (c) 2011-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



This is going to sound cheesy, but I am going to share it with
you anyway.

For years, the first date was the worst part of the dating
process for me and my date.

She and I were often uncomfortable on our first meeting, and it
was a struggle to get through the evening to the point of comfort
between my date and myself.

One of my female friends shared with me an idea that she had come
across years before, and when I tried it for myself, it changed
most of my first dates from a nervous uncomfortable experience
into a fun and engaging evening.

Take Pen And Paper On Your First Date

In most cases, I will have talked to the person I am meeting once
or twice, before we go on the actual "first date". So, to a
point, we are somewhat comfortable with each other. But, I am
always nervous on that first date anyway, and so is she.

It is not uncommon to be uncomfortable on that first date,
because as human beings, we want the other person to like us, as
much as we think we like them.

It is that fear of rejection that causes the most nervousness on
that first dinner date, and my friend forever changed that
experience for me to the positive, due to what I am about to tell
you right now.

Pen and paper?

Oh yeah...

It never fails. We sit down to order dinner, then we are never
sure where the conversation is going to go next.

When I feel that first twinge of uncertainty in the conversation,
I reach in my pocket and put a pen on the table in front of her.

I let curiosity drive the moment.

She is usually very confused by the ball-point pen, and she looks
at me in a quizzical manner.

I just smile.

Then I reach in my pocket and get a piece of paper. I reach
across the table and put the paper in front of her, then I make
eye contact, and respond to her confusion with another smile.

Then I place pen and paper in front of myself.

Only after I have got my own pen and paper on the table do I
speak.

I usually say, "Humor me. It will be fun."

She will usually agree.

Then I will say, "I know you have questions, and sometimes it is
easier to put them on paper than it is to ask them in person."

I will follow that with, "I am pretty sure that there is at
least one question about me that you might be too nervous to ask
me. If so, write it down on the paper, and I will do the same
with the question I have for you that I might be too nervous to
ask."

Take Notes

Take notice of the reaction offered by the other person.

The body language will say more than the words that come from the
mouth.

I generally see one of three responses from the person I am with:

1) A grunt of dissatisfaction and a roll of the eyes. This means
that very likely, the date will end after dinner, and you will
never see her again.

2) A sparkle in the eye, and she will pick up the pen and begin
to write. This could be very interesting. You will be surprised
at the depth of some of the questions asked.

3) She will push the paper aside and begin to speak. Ah yes...
This one is feisty... She is not easily intimidated, and she
certainly will not be afraid to ask you ANY questions. In this
instance, she will quickly ask the most personal questions that
she could ever think to ask on a first date.

The Point Of This Exercise

As someone on a first date, we are both trying to sell ourselves
to the other person as someone with whom they should want to
spend more of their time.

As someone who has worked in sales, I know that successful sales
people don't focus on what is in it for themselves, but instead,
they focus on answering all of the questions most important to
the other party, in an effort to help them make a good decision.

The point of this exercise is to open the communication channels,
so that both of you will be willing to dive into those very
important questions that you will need answered to decide if this
dating prospect is right for you.

If at the end of that first date, you have successfully
eliminated someone from your shopping list, you will be ahead of
the game. Most people don't figure that out that someone is a
bad match until they have gone on two or three dates.

The pen and paper is simply a tool designed to open the
communication channels with the other person.

It is never necessary to actually write anything on your piece of
paper, unless the other person starts writing.

In order to ease the willingness to ask and answer questions, I
always make my first question somewhat silly. My goal with
selecting a humorous or silly first question is to "lessen the
tension" in the conversation and to create a "feeling of fun"
in the experience.

Even if I never go out with her again, I want her to tell her
friends that her date with me "was fun."

Spice Up Your Love Life With Pen And Paper

Always take two pens and two sheets of paper with you when you go
on a date.

If you never have to use them, that might be a good sign for your
second date.

14 Tips to Improve Your Article Writing and Article Marketing

Everything online requires content, and articles are just one
form of content. Learning how to write articles and create
content should be a focal point for anyone looking to start a
business or even a hobby online, after all like the saying goes,
content is king.

Here are some tips to help you write better articles:

1. Write with an end goal in mind. Different types of articles
work for different reasons. If you are looking for syndication
and publication on authority websites, you're not going to want
short, full of fluff 300-word articles. Instead, you'll want to
go with long informative 800-1000 word articles that actually
deliver quality information on your topic, in a format that is
attractive to ezine and authority publishers.

2. Do your research beforehand. The better you know the topic,
the easier it will be to write for it. Simply by knowing your
topic, you can drastically reduce the time it takes to create
informative articles your readers will enjoy. Attempt to
comprehend your topic, before you sit down to write.

3. Just write. The more you write, the better you will get at it.
And not just on your topic. Challenge yourself. Write on anything
and everything, and your overall writing skills will improve, not
to mention your typing speed. Both things will help you reduce
writing time in the long run.

4. Write with the reader in mind. Instead of writing for your own
purpose, think about it from the readers perspective. What is the
reason they are reading your article? Are you addressing their
needs and concerns? If you can get into the mind of your reader
and what they are seeking from you and your writing, you'll be
better equipped to write an article they will appreciate.

5. If you are writing for back links, keywords matter. If you are
writing for readers, forget about them. Keywords only help you
get found in the search engines. If you are preparing high
quality articles for syndication, you'll get the readers from the
sites where you are published. That's not to say you want to go
completely off topic, simply that keywords aren't vital, and if
you are writing on topic anyways, you will naturally include
related keywords and the search engines will figure out where you
belong in their search results. As Google recommends, create your
content for your reader, to improve your chances of ranking well
in Google. In my articles, I have found this to be always true.

6. Learn to craft captivating titles. Titles are one of the most
important parts of the article marketing and writing battle. It
doesn't matter how informative or well written your article is,
if the title doesn't make readers open the article. Spend some
time on your title. Actually focus on making it reader friendly
and interesting. Your bottom line will thank you for this.

7. Write with passion. If you are bored to tears by your topic,
chances are your writing is going to reflect your boredom, be dry
and present less than glamorous prose. If you are in love with
your topic, it will shine through your words and come across to
the reader. This is one reason many suggest when you are just
getting started to go with a passion. It is much simpler to write
about something that you get emotional about, than to write about
something you have no emotional investment in.

8. Don't proof read and spell check as your write. Stopping and
changing your mind frame from creation to editing can interrupt
your flow of thought. Instead focus on getting the thoughts and
ideas down, and then go back and do the spelling and grammar
checks later. You'll find your mind thinks and writes that much
quicker by using this method.

9. Focus on quality. There will forever be the debate over
quality and quantity. Few take into consideration that quality
will naturally breed quantity, through syndication and other
methods. If you are consistently providing high quality articles,
publishers will love utilizing your content and do so on a
regular basis. And the more publishers that take notice of your
work, the more targeted traffic you will be getting. Quality
content will produce much more targeted traffic than the traffic
coming from article directories and other such places.

10. Turn off your word count tool. Stop checking the word count
and simply write until the idea has been fully explained to the
reader. If that takes 300 words so be it. If it takes 1000, then
let it. Stopping the flow of ideas simply to stay in line with a
word count is a sure fire way to leave your articles lacking that
finished feel.

11. Read. Yes, read. The more you read and the more you expand
your horizons, the better your writing will be. Simply taking in
the written word, exploring and understanding other writing
methods and formations will help you in your own writing. It can
also help you increase your vocabulary and find styles that
really reach out and grab readers by the eyeballs.

12. Check out what the competition is doing, and do it better. If
your competition is providing lackluster articles that barely wet
your taste for the subject, go above and beyond, and your readers
will notice. By knowing what kind of content you are trying to
compete with, you can improve your own skills and marketing
mindset.

13. Use the language of your target audience. If you are writing
for highly educated people, your writing should reflect that. If
you are writing for mass appeal, stick to relatively lower level
writing, think grade-8 levels. If a grade-8 student could read
and interpret what you are saying, you have succeeded. If they
cannot, you may want to revise your writing style and language.

14. Understand that writing is a skill. And as such, needs to be
constantly worked upon. Malcolm Gladwell stated in "Outliers" it
takes 10,000 hours to master something. Master writing by
continually working on it and the improvement of your skills. And
by the time you reach 10,000 hours of work, you'll have mastered
the skill and no longer need others tips and techniques to make
your writing vibrant and a success.

Hopefully these tips will help you master article writing and
marketing. In the end, all that really matters is that you
actually do it. No amount of tips or tricks are going to help you
if you don't just get started and get that writing underway.
Begin writing and over time your skills and abilities will
improve, and your writing will reflect your growing knowledge and
skills. Writing starts the same way for everyone, with a blank
page waiting to be filled. Get started filling yours today.

Tips to Help You Get Back in the Dating Game After a Long-Term Relationship Ends
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 RoseMary Alberts
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com/



There are very few things in life that are as terrifying,
frustrating, rewarding, exciting and just plain crazy as dating;
especially if you have ceased to be a "spring chicken" or have
been out of the dating scene for many years.

If you've found yourself "back on the market" after being in a
committed relationship for many years, you may be petrified by
the prospect of dating again. The very idea of having to deal
with the "new rules," and trying to figure out where, exactly,
you go to meet people in the first place, may be enough for you
to say "forget it" and opt for diving into the freezer for a
pint of Cherry Garcia, and sitting home with the latest episode
of 24 instead. But, it doesn't have to be that way!

In spite of what the modern media has drummed into our collective
heads, dating really hasn't changed that much over the years.
The basics are all still the same; first dates are generally
awkward whether you're a gawky teenager or a successful CEO, and
first kisses will give you butterflies at 60 just as they did at
16!

What has changed is how people meet each other. Yes, there will
always be the old standbys: bars, chance meetings, blind dates
(usually set up by well meaning friends or relatives who haven't
a clue) and the frequently disastrous workplace romances. But
more and more people are turning to the laptop sitting on their
coffee table or the computer on their desk to find romance. From
the comfort of your easy chair (and with your ice cream nearby)
you can open up a whole new realm of dating possibilities!

Since you're reading this we'll assume you have the basics
needed for this contemporary dating adventure (a computer and
access to the internet) and can get down to where to look for
"Mr. (or Ms.) Right":

  * First, you have the obvious "hunting" ground; internet
dating sites. These online matchmakers are as prevalent as ants
at a picnic, and cover just about every demographic and social
group you can think of. Some require a fee, while others are free
to join. Generally prospective daters post pictures and
information about themselves and about what they are looking for
in a potential partner. Once you join you can review other
members and search for someone that strikes your fancy.

  * Then there are the social media sites like Facebook, Myspace,
Linkedin, and Bebo. These sites aren't geared specifically
towards dating, but their popularity and ease of use make them a
natural place for making connections. Using social media sites
can not only re-connect you with friends and family, but you
might run into that classmate you had a crush on in 9th grade as
well!

  * A less obvious place to look for love online is amongst the
plethora of special interest forums and sites. Whether you an
avid golfer, a fan of Joe Walsh, or like to make driftwood
sculptures in your spare time, chances are that there is a
website dedicated to your particular passion somewhere on the
net. What better way to start a relationship than to build on the
foundation of a mutual interest?

Of course, there are precautions you should take when venturing
into the sphere of online dating, but as with dating in the
"real world" most of them are common sense and they apply to
both men and women:

#1 - Listen to your instincts. If your "gut" tells you that the
person you are communicating with isn't what they seem, you are
probably right.

#2 - Really take the time to get to know a person before you give
them any information that can lead them to your "offline"
identity. Giving someone your last name or phone number may seem
harmless, but always err on the side of caution.

#3 - Set up an anonymous free email account like hotmail or yahoo
to use for talking to possible suitors. Make sure that you set it
up so that your full name is not given out.

#4 - When you are ready to take that "next step" and meet your
online paramour face to face, make sure you arrange to meet them
in a public place. Tell friends or a family member where you are
going and arrange to check in with them while you are out.

That's it, now you're ready to take that plunge back into the
dating world. Take a deep breath, put down the ice cream and go
enjoy this new phase of your life. You'll be surprised at how
much fun it can be!

How Dating Has Changed In The 21st Century
Copyright (c) 2008-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



With an article title like this, one might assume that I am ready
to tell you some extraordinary news about a new dating
environment. Sure, the Internet has introduced one more way for
people to meet, but does that actually change the dating scene?

Interestingly, a friend of mine met his current wife online, but
not from across country, rather from across town. The two of them
lived just five miles apart. Jokingly, we have talked about it
from the standpoint of "you could have met, if only you had been
willing to get out more." But it was not that easy. Sure, in
theory they probably could have met when they were out and
running around, but if you talk to both and ask them the places
they go and the people they know, the chances of actually having
met were entirely unlikely.

He is a Baptist and she is a Catholic. He is a blue-collar
worker, and she works for a dentists' office. He goes to
football games and hangs with his friends, and she used to go to
the bar with the girls. Although they both lived in the same
small town and graduated from the same high school, none of his
friends had ever met her, and none of her friends had ever met
him or his friends.

The two of them were so close, and yet so far apart from one
another.

The Internet was instrumental in bringing the two together. They
were introduced to one another through their respective personal
profiles on dating websites. After a couple of exchanged emails,
they turned first to Yahoo Chat, and then they orchestrated a
personal meet for dinner at a local restaurant. I guess you can
say the rest is history.

After a nine-month courtship, the two were married, and they have
been married now for two years.

Lessons To Be Learned

Ah yes, I am one of the guys who write about online dating. So, I
got the idea to start asking questions. I wanted to know what if
anything could have impacted this hookup in a negative way. Now
and again, I will ask a question and wish later that I had just
kept my mouth shut. In a way, this was one of those situations,
and you will see why in a minute.

Both indicated that a picture on a profile is absolutely
essential. Neither was willing to talk to anyone who hid behind a
computer on the Internet. Had either one not included a picture,
neither would have responded to the others' email.

Both had been doing the online dating thing for a couple years.
So, both had scars from the experience.

She said that one should never lie in a profile. She said that
when she chatted guys online or met them in person, she was keen
to listen to everything she was told. She was looking for
discrepancies between what was said in chat, in person and in the
profile. She said that when she first started the online dating
thing, she did not pay much attention to those things, but she
later found that these little red flags were a good indication of
bigger red flags that she would not want to discover later.

Both suggested one of my standard pieces of advice was completely
valid. I have always said that we should get to know one another
a bit better, before we start making commitments to one another.

She said that guys, who were quick to jump into a commitment,
were not only nerdy, but also desperate for a good reason. He
said that girls were quick to declare love or commitment usually
turned out to be scammers looking to make a quick buck. He said
that within days of the first declaration of love, she would
always be asking for money, and she would pitch a fit if you told
her no, after all she would say, the two of you shared something
special.

She said there was two emails that she dreaded receiving from
guys. She said any email that employed cheesy pick up lines would
not be answered ever. She said that if I guy wanted her
attention, he would need to give some thought to his emailed
words. Second, she said that if she wanted to see a guy's male
part, she would invite him to her house for the night. She did
not want to see him in an email message.

He said there was two emails that he also dreaded receiving. He
did not want to hear "I love you" at all, nor did he want to be
spoken to in a condescending way. I asked him what he perceived
to be "condescending". He said words like, "sweetie",
"dear" and "honey" were immediate turn-offs, as he perceived
those women to be professionals looking to get paid for their
dates.

All Went Well To This Point, And Then...

You know I am the type of person who is not easily embarrassed.
The interview had been going well, and then I asked the wrong
question to the wrong person. And it all changed, just like that.

I asked my friend and his wife whether they had ever got together
with someone just for fun, like a one-night-stand type
arrangement. Both had said yes, and then I regretted having asked
the question. My friend's wife indicated that she had one real
good "friend with benefits", and as a single guy, I might enjoy
some of the activities they liked doing.

If I had stopped here, then everything might have been all right,
but I asked what she meant.

Immediately, the alarm went off in my brain signaling too much
information! I turned beet red and she laughed. And to this day,
I have never lived down that moment in time.

Why You Should Archive Your Ezines and Newsletters Online
Copyright (c) 2005-2012 Trey Pennewell
Writing Puzzle
http://WritingPuzzle.com/



As a publisher of ezines and newsletters, you know that customers
always want more from your services. One way to provide customers
a good service while increasing your search engine rankings is to
place your ezine archives online. By placing these online, you
are giving your readers a value-added service that will set you
apart from other ezines and newsletters. Not only will this
provide value to your customers, but also by placing your
archives online, the search engine spiders are able to "see"
your unique combination of content. Ultimately, having your ezine
archives online will give you higher search rankings and
additional keyword phrase variations that everyone so desperately
wants.

There are some things to consider when making the decision to put
your newsletter archives online.

The first consideration is whether or not your ezine model is a
paid subscription or a free subscription. If your ezine is a pay
subscription, you probably do not want to place all of your
archives online where someone can access them for free. If you
were to do this there would be no need for readers to actually
pay for a subscription. However, you may want to consider placing
a couple of archived issues on a website, so that potential
customers and advertisers can see what it is your publication has
to offer them. Then, you can keep your remaining archives in a
member's only website that is only accessible to your paying
subscribers.

If you offer a free ezine or newsletter, there is little reason
not to offer all of your archives for free online. The reason
that people will want to go ahead and subscribe to your ezine or
newsletter is that they can get the issue as soon as it comes
out. You may want to consider only offering archives online that
are at least a few months old. In other words, do not offer this
month's issue in the archive for a few more months, so that
people will still want to subscribe to your publication to see it
when it is first made available.

Search engine spiders love content on websites. Not only do
spiders like the generic content, but they really like valuable
content such as articles. Quality content is one of the primary
things that search engines look for when providing rankings and
the level of importance of a website. The articles that are
included in your archive will boost your search engine ranking.
Having a higher search engine ranking means that potential
subscribers are able to find you much easier. Being easy to find
and offering a service such as free ezine with archives gives
potential subscribers many reasons to choose your ezine or
newsletter to land in their email box over your competitors.

Having your publications placed in an online archive will
automatically provide you with a good amount of keyword
optimization. For example, if you are publishing an ezine that
mainly talks about home improvement, there is a high likelihood
that many of the articles in your publication will contain the
words "home improvement". Now when a potential subscriber
searches on the Internet for "home improvement," they are much
more likely to be directed to your website and learn that you
provide a valuable subscription on this very topic. If you do not
have your archives online, chances of picking up these new
visitors and subscribers are greatly diminished.

Simply put, having your newsletter archives online is probably
the easiest way to increase your exposure in the search engines
and the easiest way to increase your ezine's subscriber base for
free. It is very inexpensive to provide your archives online, and
it can improve your subscriber's experience, letting him or her
feel good about the service that you are providing to them.

People may have a desire to read your publication, but your ezine
can easily get overlooked due to the excessive number of
publications currently arriving in the subscriber's email box. A
day will come when an individual feels overwhelmed by the number
of publications arriving in their mailbox each day or week. When
this starts to happen, they start canceling subscriptions because
it is simply too much hassle to go through and delete these
newsletters and ezines every week or every month. I have found
myself in that position, so I eliminated the ones that bored me
and only kept one or two subscriptions that really seemed to
offer me the quality content that I wanted in an easy-to-read
format. It was getting to be annoying to go through my email on a
regular basis to filter out the excess ezines and newsletters
that I did not read anyway.

So if you want to set yourself apart from your competitors and
offer this value-added service to your customers, you seriously
need to consider placing your archives online. It is likely that
you will be surprised at the change in your search engine
rankings as well. Again, if you provide a pay subscription do
consider offering a few issues in a free archive, so that you can
at least show potential subscribers and advertisers the quality
of the product you provide.

Follow my advice, and down the road, you will be able to generate
more income from your newsletter, because you will have a much
larger list of subscribers to count as your own.

How To Avoid The Pitfalls, Wrong Turns, Broken Hearts Of Online Dating
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 Lance Metzger
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com



As an experienced online dater, I feel qualified to help you avoid
pitfalls, wrong turns, broken hearts, and the general
catastrophes associated with internet wooing.

When you join your first online dating community, you will be
required to fill in personal information. Please be honest. You
are shorter and fatter than you think.

However, you have to be true to yourself too. Do not embellish
your life just because you think that is what the opposite sex
wants to hear. If you create a fake persona, you will regret it
and look like a liar.

Warning: Prepare To Be Overwhelmed!

After signing up, uploading your picture and answering personal
questions, you will be bombarded with images of single people all
wanting to be friends with you. It is a heady experience, but it
isn't real.

  * Think of online dating as "an Ebay for your heart." Yeah,
there is a lot of stuff on there, but you don't need it all.
It's like going to the mall with unlimited credit. Take a deep
breath and remember that these are people, not things to be
purchased.

  * Take it slow. Don't act like the greedy kid in Willie Wonka.
You are way better than that. Remember that the person you pick
to correspond with is also connecting with other people. So, do
yourself a favor and don't tell all your friends about this
great guy/gal you met. Chances are your new "mate" might not be
around in three days and you will look like a desperate loser.

  * Keep in mind that this is a "dating" website and some people
are looking to date many people as possible because, after all,
they paid for it.

  * Take your time to correspond and build up a friendship before
you agree to meet someone in person. In the car business,
salespeople encourage you to take a test drive to promote in you
a feeling of "ownership." If you want a shot at more than just
a string of one time coffee dates, you have to do the same. You
need to become "real" to the person you are interested in.

Write. Text. Whatever. Let your potential partner see you as a
person. Let a friendship grow naturally so when you finally meet
it is with a sense of anticipation, not dread. A date will be
less likely to dump you on the spot if they are eager to meet you
despite your shortcomings, and you will be more likely to
overlook their receding hairline or less-than-perfect abs.

Follow All The Safety Rules

Meet in a public place, let a friend know where you will be, and
don't give out personal contact information until you are sure
that your date is reasonably trustworthy. Bad things don't
happen very often, but they do happen.

Don't believe everything your date tells you. Caveat Emptor -
Buyer Beware.

Be financially savvy. Dating sites are in this for the money.
They offer you the "convenience" of debiting your checking
account or credit card every month. Stay aware of when this
deduction will occur, or even keep a calendar specifically for
this purpose. Cancel your membership if you feel like you have
met someone special and no longer need the service, or if you
feel like this just isn't working out for you.

Do not let your naysaying friends talk you out of this. In the
past, "computer dating" had a negative connotation; happily, I
believe that is changing. Users now realize that people on a
dating site are busy professionals who don't like meeting
potential partners in a more traditional way (i.e., bars). The
men aren't creepy weirdos and the women aren't chubby
introverts....well, at least, not all of us.

Finally, be realistic. You will never meet the perfect person and
you will never be the perfect person. Relax. Readjust your
expectations and you and your date will have much more fun.
That's what its all about, isn't it?

Why We Women Are Our Own Greatest Enemy When Dating

I have learned that while there are women who want to be
committed to one man, there are some others who seek only
attention, gifts, dinners, movies etc, and still others who are
only interested in having a physical relationship. But all these
three categories cannot be used as a base to judge women and
their point of view about relationships only because, like I
said, "Women never know what they want." So read on and you

Why We Women Are Our Own Greatest Enemy When Dating
Copyright (c) 2009-2012 RoseMary Alberts
NSA Dating Site
http://www.nsadatingsite.com/



It is rightly said, "Women never know what they want."

I begin by saying this because, I have learned that while there
are women who want to be committed to one man, there are some
others who seek only attention, gifts, dinners, movies etc, and
still others who are only interested in having a physical
relationship. But all these three categories cannot be used as a
base to judge women and their point of view about relationships
only because, like I said, "Women never know what they want."

So read on and you will know what I mean...

When I was in my twenties, I was once walking my little dog
"spark", and I noticed a man staring at me.

I ignored him and moved on.

He followed me, and without any waste of time, he introduced
himself to me.

As I kept talking to him, I found him to be very interesting and
I knew he was attracted to me too.

This went on for a couple of days, until one day he asked me out
to dinner. I did not even think twice as this was what I was
waiting for.

We went out that weekend for dinner, had a lovely time and I
promptly came back home that night. This went on for months. Our
relationship was growing, we were becoming more than just
friends, got closer emotionally and physically.

Then one evening, I casually asked him where did he think this
relationship was going.

He said he preferred not thinking about it.

It was a little disturbing. I mean, I was expecting him to say
something that put us on a committed path with one another.

When I asked him what he meant by that and why he did not want to
think ahead, he plainly said "because I am a man, and men don't
do that."

I was so puzzled. When everything was going so well, I felt like
our relationship was actually going somewhere. I wanted him to
meet my friends, wanted to have conversations about our future,
marriage, kids, our little home over-looking the park, a little
dog etc. And the more I thought about it, the more I felt, or
rather, the more I assumed he felt this way too. But I was
wrong...

This made me sad the first few days, then angry, then I reached a
phase where it did not bother me anymore, and finally I was
thinking it probably happened for the best and he was not meant
for me anyway.

It made me wonder how just a few weeks back I was dreaming of a
home, kids, and marriage and now I'm glad I'm alone and free
again.

Why is it so hard for us women to decide on one thing? Why do we
always want to put our feet into every shoe?

No wonder men find it so easy to move on and say, "there are
other fish in the sea".

Why does it take so long for women to figure that out? Why do
they wait for reality, or in this case, men, to brutally show it
to them?

There's no end to these questions, but there probably is only
one answer - "Women never know what they want".

Why You Should Strive to Create More Than Just Back Links
Copyright (c) 2006-2012 Trey Pennewell
Writing Puzzle
http://WritingPuzzle.com/



I read a message on a forum the a while back where a new
webmaster was asking for suggestions regarding article
submissions to create back links. The person asked how long the
articles should be, how many hyperlinks to include, and other
questions about article submissions. I was quite surprised by
some of the responses that this poster received.


What Sort of Advice Was Given...

It was actually recommended that articles only need to be 250
words long and that the person asking the question should include
4-5 hyperlinks. Another person suggested to write a 500-word
article and to include many hyperlinks, because the only purpose
of the articles were to create back links.

There is some truth to this... A person could write a short
article and get it submitted to many article directories. And,
simply generating back links is one way that a webmaster can
increase his or her position in the search engine rankings.

But, writing a 250-word article will probably not result in that
webmaster being considered an expert on the topic that he or she
is writing about.


Experts In Their Fields

Taking the time to create an informative and helpful article will
help a person to be considered an expert in his or her field.
Imagine for a moment if some of the most famous names on the
Internet were to only write brief articles to generate back
links. Would Matt Cutts (http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/) receive
the recognition that he does if he just scribbled a few sentences
here and there? Would Joel Comm (http://www.joelcomm.com/) be
considered an Adsense expert without writing informative how-to
articles and books for those wanting to make money from Adsense?
Would you know or care who Robin Nobles
(http://www.searchengineworkshops.com/) was if she did not create
in-depth articles about search engine optimization? Would you
even be bothering to read this article?

You can generate a bit of traffic by creating back links by
hammering out low-quality articles. But, if you want to be known
as an expert, you need to take a different approach and provide
the quality information people are seeking. If you have
information and expertise that others are unable to find on the
Internet, then you will get many more visitors as a result of
writing an article.

If you are looking for more than simple back links to your site,
then it is worth it to take the time to write a high-quality
article. A high quality article, that is written with the reader
in mind --- not the search engines --- is more likely to actually
get clicks (human visitors) into your site. This is what
separates the very successful webmasters from those who are
simply getting by.

To be known as an expert or an authority in your area requires
articles and information that human beings will actually read.
After reading this kind of article, a person will think to
himself "This author has the information that I am looking for"
and the reader will then visit the writer's website.


How To Succeed With Article Marketing

A well-written article can be submitted to literally thousands of
publishers of ezines, newsletters, and free reprint article sites
and can result in dozens and sometimes hundreds of back links for
a website. Now, not every publisher will pick up your article,
but for the ones that do, you get a back link.  More important
than the back links though is the number of people that will cite
your article, forward it to their friends, and reference it in
their own articles that they are distributing.

These high-quality articles are how a webmaster becomes known as
an "authority" on a topic. When you write for the reader and
offer something of real value, you will reap the rewards with a
huge influx of traffic to your website.


How To Fail With Article Marketing

Generalized junk articles that are filled with hyperlinks and
self promotion will only result in a few back links, and people
who actually read those less-than-quality articles are not very
likely to ever visit your site.

Poorly written articles are also unlikely to get published in
ezines and newsletters where you can reach potentially thousands
of readers in a single day.

The worst thing about the low-quality junk articles is that if
people do read them, they might always think of you as a "junk
peddler", and most people don't buy from people whom they
perceive as "junk peddlers".

As a webmaster, you need to decide for yourself what goals you
have in mind for your article submission campaign. If you limit
yourself to only generating back links, you will not see the full
potential of visitors and traffic that you could be getting to
your website.


A Final Thought...

An article that is good enough to wind up on sites like
http://www.About.com can give you a huge and consistent growth in
traffic for some time to come. Articles that are picked up by
large newsletters like http://www.SiteProNews.com can deliver
thousands of visitors to your website in a day, add to your
credentials as an "authority" website, and will create a
situation where your website is one of the first places that
people turn to for information in your field.

The bottom line is that if you write for the human reader instead
of the search engines, you will be rewarded with many more
visitors, and you can gain an authority status among your
visitors.

The choice is yours. You can spend an extra hour or two creating
a high-quality article that will be published on more websites
creating more back links to your website, establish you as an
authority in your field, and allow you to see thousands of
visitors in a day when your article is published in one or a
dozen ezines. Or you can save the extra hour or two and pray that
your limited efforts will amount to anything of real value.
