A
Misconception About Hits And Visits
If netrepreneurs
are fervent about testing and tracking, they would have known
how to read website statistics as a basic skill. In reality, most
people don't know how to deal with such numbers. If they do, it
can take a tremendous load off their age-old question: "How
do I get more traffic?"
For a start, we must
know the absolute distinction between 'hits' and 'unique visits'.
In this day and age, so many webmasters are infatuated with getting
'hits'. A lot people actually thought that 'hits' refer
to each and every visitor who comes to their sites, but that's
very wrong. 'Visits' is the correct term to use, because
this number represents how many unique IPs (which is a good general
measure for individual people) visited a site.
Unique visitors is
the actual measure of real traffic. Next time when you hear webmasters
boast, "I have 7432556 hits," they are deceiving themselves
for lack of knowledge that 'hits' is a number largely
inflated due to a number of various factors.
How do 'hits' numbers
come about? Every time a request was sent to the server for a
piece of information, a hit registers. Hits are the number of
times files and pages were retrieved from the server.
For example, a visitor
comes to a URL which belongs to a page containing 30 images. Every
visit is going to load up 30 images + 1 web page upon request.
That makes it 31 hits. See the difference
? You don't have 31 visitors. You may have
heard of "fake hits" but you never heard of "fake
visitors". Those people who sell a service or program promising
"millions of hits" don't know what they are talking
about and should be thrown to jail right away! :)))
When you get real,
the actual number of visitors you are enjoying is going to fall
far below your expectation, but rejoice that you learn something
new today. Now you want to boost your number of VISITORS right?
Don't miss this eye-opening
report by Marlon Sanders. There's a lot more being said by
the Master. The title alone may knock your socks off.

Instant
Article Creator
We seriously think
that one key pre-requisite of a successful online marketer, especially
a niche marketer, is to know how to convey your knowledge
by writing an article of 300–400 words long, from
scratch, yes. Private Label Rights articles are good...until the
Google spiders begin to realize they are picking up the same old
sentences and de-index them like dead flies.
Understandably, writing
an original article can be difficult, but if you are a seasoned
marketer/writer, you would have formed a personal and structured
style of writing instructional articles no matter what the subjects
may be, like "10 Tips To...", "How To Do This...In
2006", "7 Biggest Mistakes Of...", etc. Once you
get the hang of a certain 'pattern', writing can become a breeze.
Instant
Article Creator precisely provides a structural way for you
to complete an article from start to finish by suggesting generic
guidelines at major parts of the writing process (intro, body,
conclusion, target market, product, pricing, etc.) so that you
know what information to fill in at which part of the article.
This is a good tool for self-professed non-writers who don't prefer
to engage ghostwriters. With Instant
Article Creator, you can finish writing in minutes even when
you don't know how to start.

not have its own search function to browse through its inventory
of more than 11,000 products.
Programmers here and there have tried to address the challenge
by coming up with their own search boxes but most do not stand
out for lack of word-of-mouth or substantial marketing or commercial
packaging...that is until now.
1stPromotion
offers a powerful ready-to-promote 100% searchable ClickBank mall.
With easy installation, you will have your own ClickBank storefront
in various layouts, making it very easy to target products according
to your niche and make commissions fast.

Say
"NO!" To Retirement
Working
Smart: Unclutter Your Mind And Get the Work Done by Peggy Duncan
********************
Say
"NO!" To Retirement
Last
week, we discussed that the perfect equation of having as much
free time as you can is to do nothing.
The
fact of reality is that as the median age of the world's population
increases, humankind cannot afford to burden itself by doing nothing
just because you are a little hunch-back, have deeper facial lines
and more white hair. But that's the big picture.
I'm
going a little more biblical this week. Perhaps you may have encountered
some leaders within your religion stating that there's no such
thing as retirement. "To retire or not to retire?" is
not the question where a great calling in your life is concerned.
Perhaps
there is no greater calling than the one Moses had. Yup, the great
"Let my people go!" prophet so revered across all 3
major monotheistic religions.
His
calling was to lead the Israelites out of Egypt to the Promised
Land that God had allocated for them.
As
you may know, the final hurdle to 40 years of exodus was the great
Jordan river, but Moses was not allowed to cross it in accordance
to God's stipulation. Moses' job was to ensure all Israelites
reach that hurdle.
The
interesting verse is Deuteronomy 34:8: "Moses was
120 years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural
vigor diminished."
Prior
to Chapter 34, there is no documentation that Moses deteriorated
mentally and physically as he aged. Chapter 33 is testimonial
of his lucidity as he blessed the 12 tribes of Israel with great
detail in his words. It seems the older he got, the more
he spoke.
Therein
lies the truth: we cannot possibly outlive our usefulness.
When we have a certain spiritual instinct like all religious people
do, we would have known what's our mission on Earth is, as we
are called to finish it before we er, drop dead.
Oh,
we'd wish, "Ooooo finally we can retire! Let's just sit at
the patio playing crosswords or Sudoku," while collecting
money from somewhere. God wouldn't even allow Moses to sit still
like that, and we're sure network marketers who are at the peak
of their success can't afford to do that too, because they are
faced with the ongoing task of maintaining their downline network
and more travel and presentations.
As
a Chinese saying goes, "Starting a business is difficult.
Keeping it is even more so."
Don't
you think you are called for something more energetic and active
than crosswords or Sudoku? :) Because though we do not work to
live or live to work aimlessly, work is truly a pleasure when
you can associate it with the higher realm (an idea, a mission...)
and your identity.
Next
time someone talk about retirement, substantiate the discussion
using Moses as an example.
