3) Orley, you have won a couple of big battles right away. You have been honest with yourself...and that's a big step forward.

Not only have you gone out and asked for help, but you went to a total stranger, and that takes courage, my friend! You WANT to improve yourself, and all of these things are big pluses for you.

Meta Tags - What Are They and Which Search Engines Use Them?
Defining Meta Tags is much easier than explaining how they are used, and by which engines. The reason is very few engines clearly lay out what they do and do not look at, and how much emphasis they put on any one factor. So, we’ll start with the easy partMeta Tags are lines of HTML code embedded into web pages that are used by search engines to store information about your site. These "tags" contain keywords, descriptions, copyright information, site titles and more. They are among the numerous things that the search engines look for, when trying to evaluate a web site.Meta Tags are not "required" when you're creating web pages. Unfortunately, many web site operators who don’t use them are left wondering why the saying "If I build it they will come" didn’t apply to their site.There’s also a few naysayers in the search engine optimization industry who cla

"Who could have sent me this terrible email, and what did they want?" I thought to myself! Was this person some kind of jokester or was this a practical joke of some kind?

The email was sent to me by a fellow named Orley (who I didn't know), and he told me that he lived in the panhandle of Florida near the Alabama state line. Orley told me in his email, that he was concerned about his website, his spelling and grammar, and he wanted somebody to go to his website and critique it, and give him advice as to how to improve it, etc.

Over the short time I had been online, there have been many people who have helped me in a variety of ways, so I decided to go to Orley's website to see how I could help him. And, from what I saw of that email...Orley NEEDED HELP! He told me he wanted to go into business for himself, but he was not going to get very far with emails that looked like the one he sent me! At this point, I still didn't know if I was dealing with a jokester but, I went to pay a visit to his website anyway.

There, I found a pretty nice looking website, with a thing or two wrong, but nothing major. A nice Front Page, with links and buttons to different places, etc. Judging from that first dreadful email he sent me, somebody must have helped him put up his website. The website was not bad at all. I didn't see much of anything I could report back to him, with respect to errors on his website.

And besides, I'm not an editor or a grammarian. In college, I was not an English, journalism, or communications major. And yes, I did complete two correspondence writing courses in my 40's, and by doing so, it helped me improve my writing skills and gave me the confidence to continue with my ambitions in writing. I think all of us just do our best when it comes to writing, after all, we're dealing with the English language...which is all "Greek" to me!

I really didn't know how to handle the situation with Orley, but I thought honesty would be the best policy. But, I had to be encouraging and supportive of him. Constructive criticism was the name of the game and I told him in a return email:

1) Website building is publishing, and if a person is going to be in the publishing business on the Internet, which shows your work all over the world, your work has to be your best! Like a resume or job interview, first impression is everything! Your website, Orley, was acceptable, but you probably had help with it.

2) Your first email to me was awful and I almost deleted it! It was riddled with spelling and grammar errors and was just plain unprofessional and ugly! What kind of a first impression would this make? Unless you take action to improve this, nobody will return your emails, and I'm sorry to say that you won't make it in business or anything else!

Unprofessional emails, riddled with spelling and grammar errors will be your downfall...I don't care how nice your website looks. Communicating well with customers and visitors will be a way of life for you, Orley. You MUST improve your writing skills if you are to succeed!

Publish Your Own EBook In Less Than One Week
There are too many lies on the internet these days that tell you that it’s possible to get rich online without money, without investing any time and you don’t need your own product.

Posting to Web Directories
Lately I have noticed that many website owners in general and many webmasters in particular have been asking about and sometimes even questioning the effectiveness of submitting their website to a directory. I think this is because we have been seeing a trend recently of greater numbers of directories, the vast majority of which are not what you would term "quality directories". In fact some of them are little more than glorified link farms. This ongoing trend is perhaps most glaringly apparent to veterans of the internet, I mean webmasters who have been promoting websites since at least the mid-90's or so.You see, back then there was a much smaller number of web directories out there. Because the search engines were much different then (link popularity was not a major part of their algorithm yet), there was not a need for the low level directories which seem to exi

Useful Tips For Choosing A Domain Name
Basically, your domain name is the internet address of your website, it looks something like this:www.yourname.comOnce the domain name has been selected and registered, no one else can register the same domain name just as there can never be two houses with the same address. Your domain name can also be your Internet Business name.You will want to take out a piece of paper to write down ALL the keywords related to your Internet Business. You see, you want your domain name to:• be short and easy to remember (and catchy, too!),• be relevant to the product or service you’re selling,• include keywords of your product or service to improve search engine rankings.For example, if you want to sell a product teaching people how to break-dance, then you will want to start writing down all the keywords related to break-dance.For s

First-time House Buyers: to Buy or Not to Buy; that is the Question
Buying your first house is always a difficult time. There are so many important decisions to make, and problems to be solved, which combine to make it one of the most stressful events that will occur in most people’s lives.Some of the most obvious problems include the need to:* find a suitable house to purchase* plough through complicated financial information* choose an appropriate mortgage that will cover the cost of the house and is within your own strict budgets* save up enough money (usually whilst still renting another property) to cover a mortgage deposit* deal with unfamiliar legal fees, surveys and other costs* make a realistic offer on your prospective new home* waiting to see if the offer is accepted* complete the purchase* move and get settled in the new house, with whatever decorating/rebuild

4) You'll have to pay your dues, Orley, just like everybody else has done! There's no free lunch! I took three writing courses (in my 40's) to try to improve my writing skills. You're going to have to go back to the books...go back to square one, and try to refresh your memory. As all of us get older, we forget what we learned in school. Writing courses are expensive, so I don't suggest you do that, unless you can afford it. But, you can go to the library; buy a book on English; or take a course at a local community college if there is one in your area. You have a spell-checker...use it! And, if you don't have one, you'll have to download one or do it the hard way!

I know I'm a little tough on you, Orley, but your work is out there in front of the whole world...and, because of this, you have to be at your best.

I didn't enjoy doing this sort of thing, but it would be worse for me to ignore it. I had no idea what his response would be, or if he would respond at all, so I was a little nervous! Maybe this was a practical joke or maybe I was dealing with a jokester here! Later, that afternoon, his email came in, and I didn't want to look at it, but I did!

As I scanned quickly over Orley's email, I was impressed at how much improvement there was! Instead of one big FAT paragraph, there were about five nicely trimmed paragraphs. The email was much improved, and he must have taken a crash course in neatness during the day! There were still spelling and grammar errors in the email, but the email had improved over the first disaster he sent me, etc. After I received his second email, I knew he was sincere, and I was happy to see the improvement.

It was a relief to me, when Orley thanked me for being honest with him. He told me that's what he needed...for someone to be honest with him! And, the best news of all, is that he told me that he would take my advice and hit the books, to try to improve his writing skills. I believed him, as he had already made progress in his second email. I was happy to hear all this!

* * *

After I dealt with Orley, I remembered that old television commercial of the 1970's, where the mechanic looks straight into the camera and says, "You can pay me now...or you can pay me later!" And, that's true of almost everything we do. So, if it pertains to writing...you can do what Orley did. You can pay NOW by being honest with yourself, and go out and get the help you need, to improve your writing skills and raise your confidence level. OR...you can pay LATER, when nobody returns your emails and you don't have much traffic at your website and visitor's don't return...THE DECISION IS YOURS! There's nothing to be embarrassed about! As we all age, we forget the little things that are so important that go on a page, etc.

I think everyone will agree that writing is easy, and most of us do it everyday. But, writing WELL is NOT so easy! And, most of struggle with it, when we are writing an article; book; email; screenplay

Article marketing chain reactions? This isn't science class is it? No, this isn't science class, but article marketing is as much a science as it is an art or anything else. You see, in article marketing, if you perform specific actions, for example, writing 10 articles a day, you will get quantifiable and predictable, even forecastable results. So what are the chain reactions in article marketing? The first chain reaction involves the .....
