Sears Waste Management

Years ago I started programming in ASP (Active Server Pages). This was a great language and was fairly easy to migrate into. However, the “cost of inclusion” was rather high. It was a Microsoft language and required of course that you be hosted on a Microsoft platform server. Then Microsoft decided to upgrade ASP to ASP.net. At that point they lost me. With the advent of Linux and the world of open source it just did not make any sense to stick with something that required so much overhead. Another key downside was the database programming required either SQL Server or MS Access. One was too expensive and the other not robust enough.

I switched to PHP and MySQL and I have never been happier. It is easy to find a hosting company that supports these languages and there is a wide realm of support and samples for both. If you like web programming PHP is a must to check out.

Thinking I was late in the conversion to PHP I found it interesting that just recently Tim O’Reilly had an interesting post about “PHP Becoming Mainstream“.

Microsoft made an offer of $44.6bn for Yahoo! recently which Yahoo! rejected saying it “substantially undervalues†the company (personally I think it waaaaay overvalued Yahoo! and Microsoft caught a lucky break that the offer was spurned).

The New York Times is reporting today though that Microsoft are determined to follow through on this.

However, both the New York Times and News.com have published a story today that Yahoo! have offered golden parachute to all its remaining employees (it terminated around 1,000 of its 14,000 employees in the last week).

According to the News.com report, the package:

will kick into effect should that employee lose his job within two years after a new owner takes over, should she get terminated without cause, or if the employee decides it’s time to leave for “good reason.”

…The golden parachute also includes health and dental coverage for the length of employees’ severance awards, as well as reimbursement of outplacement services up to two years, or a maximum of $15,000, depending on job title

In any significant merger there are necessarily layoffs (particularly of people with similar job functions) - this seems like a cynical ploy on Yahoo!s part to up the price indirectly for Microsoft while grabbing some goodwill headlines at the same time.

Here’s a Cool Tip I stumbled upon by accident.  When you want to embed an Utterz item in a blog article and you use my favorite blogging tool, Windows Live Writer (Free software from Microsoft), its very very easy!

Below you will see the players I used for the example video above.  If you’d like to see more examples or have any questions, drop me a comment and I will take a look at covering your question next time around if its something I can help with.

So that’s it, just a simple thing.  hope you benefited from this and if you are not blogging with Windows Live Writer or Utterz for that matter, your are missing something that is a very useful experience and easy to do whether you are a tech blogger or a movie buff with a collection of rare movie posters or whatever.

A little over a year ago, I posted about my frustration, both with the speed and stability of Time Matters with Billing Matters Plus v7 and with the CIC Solutions Forum, which purports to be a place where users can get support from certified consultants, but where my post about how to speed up TM7 was quickly quashed.

The post has been popular, attracting a significant portion of the search engine traffic to this site and a number of posts from similarly-frustrated Time Matters users and IT professionals.

I have not used Time Matters since shortly after that post. While I said there that Time Matters was a time saver, even with its flaws, I quickly found the opposite to be true once I stopped using it. I used the Billing Matters portion until last September, when I switched my business form and closed out my books, but those were frustrating months, even though I hired a consultant to work with me.

I have never been happier. Case management is much easier without Time Matters, and a good deal faster. I use Outlook, Evolution, Thunderbird with Lightning, or several other programs as they catch my fancy. I am much happier keeping my books using GnuCash, although I would use Freshbooks if I had more hourly-fee clients to bill.

Commenter Wells Anderson is undoubtedly right that Time Matters is a popular piece of software. So is Internet Explorer 6. Neither are particularly good programs; many users simply are not aware that there are better alternatives. Or don’t care.

I have some good advice I would like to share on how to develop website traffic and new users! I have a few ways and I’ll try and share them all. First you will need to ensure your forums are in perfect working order as you don’t want this new traffic to see a non working forum. Make sure you have the forums set up correctly and also in a non confusing way. Here are some ways to generate and develop new members/users.

#1- Start using Stumble Upon. This site can develop very good traffic for your website but ensure it good content as they will ban you for stumbling your forum names and not topics.

#2- Start Submitting your Forums to Link Directories. Ensure you provide enough information when submitting that you gain the interest of the reader and also ensure you add it to the correct category. Very Important!

#3- Sign up at large forums and immediately (if you can) set your forums signature with a unique tag line linking to your forums.

#4- Try and add quality posts when at other forums. I know this is hard sometimes and doesn’t have to be done all the time. Usually the more specific your answer is the better chance you have of someone actually clicking your signature links.

$5- Purchase forum signature when allowed. Many forums allow their users to sell their forums signature this can also help you develop traffic especially if they are a heavy poster.

#6- Pay for Bloggers to Blog about your site and a “web site Review” These usually cost money but are worth the 10 dollars. (Average price)

#7- Purchase Blog Roll links from Blogger when you can. This is a great form of traffic and you can really focus on your specific target market! I mean if your forums are about Sports look for a Blog site that’s about sports.

I hope this helps your forums develop and build traffic to your site. If you have any more question please feel free to ask away I’m pretty good a marketing websites!

I wanted to add some great Google search terms if you going to look for forums and blogs links to buy. just Google these simple terms

-Links Exchange

-Blog Roll links

-Free link submission

-Buy Trade or Sell Forums

-Advertising Forums

-Link Dirrectories

As you can see searching terms like these will get you access to forums that in the end will result in increase traffic and new members!

Cheers, seomkt

After all the recent buzz over Ask.com, I am (finally) going to give them some serious usage. I am curious how they stack up against Google, my defacto ‘go-to’ engine. Of course, I will still be using Google for the SEO-type work I do today, but I will be using Ask.com for my personal queries.

One thing I’ve already noted - the SERPS returned for an Ask.com query on my name are much less relevant than those of Google. Well, we’ll see how it goes…

Salt is an essential requirement for life. No animal can live without it. It is the only rock we eat. For the preponderance of human history, salt was one of the most valuable things on earth, difficult to mine and necessary for long-term food storage. Today, thanks to industrial mining and refrigeration respectively, salt is not nearly so valuable.

So it turns out there’s some limited evidence that for people with hypertension, reducing one’s salt intake can help alleviate high blood pressure. Naturally, this makes salt a dangerous substance that should no longer be listed as food by the FDA!!!!!

The Food and Drug Administration is considering whether to remove salt from the list of foods it categorizes as “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS), but taking salt out of food is not as easy as it might seem, ingredients firm DSM told FoodNavigator-USA.com.

The FDA has launched a public consultation on whether to remove salt’s GRAS status following repeated petitions from interest groups highlighting the alleged danger of salt consumption.

The results of that consultation - and the FDA’s final decision - will not be known until later this year, but this has not stopped the issue from hitting the headlines.

A recent article in USA Today highlighted the massive increase in salt intake among Americans as a result, mainly, of excessive consumption of process foods, in which salt is widely used as a flavor enhancer, a texturizer and a preservative.

“If salt were taken off the GRAS list, manufacturers could be subject to limitations on the quantity used in the production of food,” the paper noted, adding that the FDA held a hearing on the issue last November.

I have no idea where one goes to protest such idiocy, but this really has to be stopped. Historically speaking, controlling salt controls out lives, because it’s an essential nutrient that we’re all dependent on for our lives!!! This is why ancient dictatorships throughout history sought to control the flow of salt and/or tax it. Because with it they controlled life. Ghandi, remember, lead his protests against the British monopoly over salt production. It was such a big issue that it made the country revolt against British rule. This is serious stuff here folks.

If anybody has information out there I’m anxious to hear it.

Read more about the salt ban here.
Read John Stossel on salt. (surprise: he says it’s not bad for you).
and read a great book on the history of Salt.

Ok, actually no I won’t blog for steak. I’m a vegetarian. But I bet plenty of other bloggers would take up such an offer.

Rajesh Setty emailed Chris Pirillo’s Braintrust list earlier this month with an email titled “Bloggers - free steaks anyone?” to promote the site AllAboutSteak.com and its sponsor Kansas City Steaks. In it, Raj wrote:

If you are a blogger and would be willing to provide some visibility - KCS wants to reward you with a gift packet (of steaks) sent to your address.

His email conjured up in my mind an image of a homeless blogger holding up a cardboard sign “Will blog for steak” — rather than the more typical “Will work for food”. (NOTE: This could make for an excellent Halloween costume for you unabashed nerds out there!)

But it also got me thinking about what is the right way to approach bloggers to get them to blog about your company/products or a client’s company/products. Something about Raj’s email got me feeling a bit uncomfortable. Thankfully though, Raj followed up later with a clarification email to the list, stating:

I should have said it better. If you receive a “gift” of steaks, all you are promising is that if you like the technology and/or steaks, you would consider providing some visibility to their “We Care” campaign.

I’m glad Raj followed up with that clarification. I think it’s critical when doing blog outreach that you don’t tie compensation to positive coverage.

WOMMA (Word of Mouth Marketing Association) developed a great set of guidelines — the Ethical Blogger Contact Guidelines, which provides some guidance around how to reach out to bloggers. Some good advice there!

So… will you blog for steak?

Hi,

How often have you seen a reply on a forum, and there are many like this, which usually start off something like “I’m not an expert at this but I think you should…”

The whole point of participating in a forum, apart from ethically using your signature of course, is to either learn from people who know what they are talking about or to offer proper advice to someone in need of help.

The response from the Do Gooder is obviously well meant but is probably the result of them having either read about the topic in an ebook somewhere, (how dodgy is that!!?), or seen similar on a forum - equally dodgy in a lot of cases.

The problem is that the Do Gooders have no experience to appraise the initial information, they more than likely haven’t tested it out themselves so in their good natured rush to help you out you are being given bogus information.

There are many forums around that have very few experienced contributors. This works for you in as much as the Do Gooder, with his or her inexperience, is more likely to buy from your signature.

I don’t mean this to sound as if you have to go out and prey on the inexperienced, (although it now appears to be an “ethical and accepted” business practice), as you should always promote products you have personally used and feel good about letting others buy.

So go forth and use the forums to your advantage. Sell your wares, become more educated and offer only personally experienced advice to others.
