Looking to the future: the full rundown of life’s oncoming trends

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Crystal ball

We have looked into our crystal ball, and we have seen the future.

Yes, if you wondered what on earth our mobile phones might be able to do next, the shape your next holiday should take or which make-up style is on its way, then we have the answers, because there are a host of London trend predictors who have it all mapped out.

And, according to those experts, it’s time to go back to the future.

While technology is going to keep rushing us forward at work and play (we’ll be stroking screens instead of clicking mice, inhaling rather than eating our food and having techno-sex using intelligent toys), we will also be applying the brakes, slowing down our lifestyles and reverting to those halcyon days of work when we all had our own office.

Blogs that Make Money

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Laptop

Blogs that Make Money is skipping Friday Social today because I’d like to touch on another subject real quick that might be useful to you.

Sites that scrape your content.

You know I am flattered that someone copied parts of my blog word for word without giving me credit. They also copied Yaro Starak and Zac Johnson so they have at least been doing their research in a blogging sense.

Here is how I have been handling the situation. You get the bits and pieces here first then I’ll do a full post when the whole process is done. (more…)

Healthy Sauna

Sauna

A sauna is usually made of cedar wood with a pleasant smell. The outer section is coated with varnish and the interior natural with no varnish. Using this method can save money from joining health clubs that offer this service.  It is easy to install and not costly. Health benefits can be achieved from home.

Use

The first step to using the sauna is to turn it on and set it to temperature that is most comfortable for you. The recommended setting is 110 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The sauna will take 10-20 minutes to warm, and you should try to limit your time in the sauna to one hour or less for best results.  Make sure you stay well hydrated throughout the entire sauna session.  And, bathing before the use of a sauna will help improve the benefits received related to weight loss and the sweating process.

SEO TIPS

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

seo-blocksHere’s some cool on page SEO tips you can use…

Title tag: for the title tag to carry the maximum weight simply have the title tag as “main keyword” and nothing else.

H1 tag: same as title tag “main keyword” only will carry maximum weight.

H2 tag: “main keyword” in at least one of your H2 tags.

Meta & Description: Fairly meaningless, just include your main keyword in both. (more…)

STOP asking about Google PR

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

prgoogle

Alot of webmasters and ‘SEOs’ alike ask tons of questions about why their PR has dropped, how they can increase it, etc., etc.

I’m here to set the record straight. Google PR IS a major part of your rankings. HOWEVER, the way everyone here uses the term (99% of the time) is in reference to the VISIBLE Google PR value found in their toolbar. This is a POOR measure of PR folks and should not be used in ANY discussion about rankings or loss.

What we know: Google Visible Green Toolbar is updated quarterly. The information in the toolbar is not only old, but it’s only snapshot of the overall health of a web site. Basically it’s a loose indicator of the value of the incoming links to that particular web site.

But even then it’s inaccurate. You do’nt want to even base links (those you acquire) solely on this value. Case in point. I have a web site, 60 Yahoo! back links recorded, more in Webmasters. There are nothing but junky (but related) links. The links are PR3 or less (ALL OF THEM), HOWEVER, what we see is a PR 5 for the web site that is slightly more than a year. WHY? (more…)

Some Building Products May Expose You to the Chemical Banned from Plastic Bottl

Did You Know…

…that Some Building Products May Expose You to the Chemical Banned from Plastic Bottles?

Everyone has heard the news about the health concerns associated with bisphenol A (BPA) leaching from baby bottles, food can liners and perhaps most famously those distinctive polycarbonate plastic water bottles popularized by Nalgene.1 Last May, Chicago became the first city in the U.S. to ban the sale of baby bottles and sippy cups made from BPA. Few, however, are aware that BPA is a chemical component of epoxy resins used in a wide range of building materials, typically paints, sealants, adhesives and fillers,2 that may put manufacturing workers, installers, and building occupants at risk.

Epoxy resins are used in building materials, often listed on a material safety data sheet as a proprietary mixture, without disclosure that the resin is made from BPA. While manufacturers claim that the BPA in epoxy resins is consumed entirely in the production process and does not show up in the final products, scientists investigating the metabolic breakdown of epoxy resins during occupational exposure have found that epoxy resin products can be metabolized in the human body back into BPA and may impact the endocrine and reproductive system of those exposed.3

This is a case where government regulation trails the emerging science, and the Precautionary Principle applies. Animal studies have linked this hormone-disrupting chemical to prostate cancer, breast cancer, pre-diabetes (insulin resistance), abnormal fat metabolism, early puberty, and changes in the way the brain develops resulting in behavioral abnormalities.4 The BPA expert panel from the Center for Evaluation of Human Risks to Reproduction raised (more…)
