Love is what I see in your smile
Saturday, October 24, 2009
Love is what I see in, your smile every day.
Love is what I feel in, every touch you give.
Love is what I hear in, every word you say.
Love is what we share every day we live
Drink to me-Ben Jonson
Sunday, October 18, 2009
Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup
And I'll not look for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine;
But might I of Love's nectar sup,
I would not change for thine.
I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
Not so much honouring thee
As giving it a hope that there
It could not withered be;
But thou thereon didst only breathe,
And sent'st it back to me;
Since when it grows, and smells, I swear,
Not of itself but thee!
My country love
My country love
If you passed her in your city
You would call her badly dressed,
But the faded homespun covers
Such a heart in such a breast!
True, her rosy face is freckled
By the sun's abundant flame,
But she's mine with all her failings,
And I love her just the same.
If her hands are red they grapple
To my hands with splendid strength,
For she's mine, all mine's the beauty
Of her straight and lovely length!
True, her hose be think and homely
And her speech is homely, too;
But she's mine! her rarest charm is
She's for me, and not for you!

The Secret 4-Step Guide: Make Money Online Without A Website by: Matt Rhodes
It is a common misconception that you must have a website in order to truly make money on the internet. Don't worry, it's not your fault - the "gurus" have tricked you into thinking that a website is required to make money, all while they laugh to the bank when you purchase web hosting and a domain through their affiliate links. It's time to seperate yourself from the crowd and realize that you're being deceived.
If you want to establish yourself online, blogging is the way to do it. And, it's absolutely free. You can make $20, $50 or $100 every single day using a simple, free blog that takes less than half an hour to set up. But how do you make your money? It's a simple formula:
1.) Create your free blog and start posting about a topic you love. Baseball? Weight lifting? Hypnosis? Gardening? Virtually anything will do.
2.) Go to Clickbank.com and click "marketplace". Find a product related to your topic (they have a very large variety of products for any audience) and create a free affiliate account with them.
3.) Add your affilate links to your blog and promote the product you chose. Talk about it's qualities, review it, how much it's helped you, and so on. People eat up stories.
4.) Get traffic to your blog by posting articles to article directories with a link back to your blog.
That's it - that's all you do to make money online. I can personally guarantee you that if you post to your blog everyday for the next 60 days and write one article to submit to a few article directories per week, you'll be making a bare minimum $20 per day with hardly effort. $20 per day for 10 to 15 minutes of work is a great trade-off, wouldn't you say?
The best part about this process is that you can repeat it, over and over. Imagine if you had 10 blogs and made the bare minimum of $20 per day with each blog. That means you'd be getting more than $200 per day, for about 2 1/2 hours of work. Compare that to a job - 8+ hours a day, for a measly couple thousand bucks every couple of weeks. It's bull.
It's time for you to make a decision. Are you going to sit around and continue to ponder how to make money online, or are you finally going to bite the bullet and going to get started? The choice is yours...

The Keys To A Successful And Profitable Work From Home Business by: John Newby
Are You Interested In Work At Home Business Opportunities?? ...READ THIS FIRST!!!!
What if I could work from home and not have to dredge through the day to day grind of long hours, back-breaking work, and mediocre pay?
Is there more to life than just punching a time clock every day?
How can I attain the financial security to work at home and have the freedom to spend more of this time at home with my family?
If you've ever asked yourself any, or all, of these questions, then there's no doubt that you've thought about starting a work at home online money making business of your own. Right? But be honest. What's stopping you? The fear of not making it? The risks that may be involved? The lack of experience with the Internet and website design? Maybe you just don't think you have the skills required to make it all come together and work? Well, let me tell you a little secret. Not so long ago, I was right where you are now. My head was filled with ambition and thoughts of an endless stream of cash waiting on my doorstep each month. But then my mind would start to fill up with the clouds of doubt. I'd tell myself:
--"I can't possibly do it".
--"I don't know how to build and design a website".
--"I've never worked with computer programming before".
--"Besides, even if I did manage to get a website, then no one would want to come to visit it".
Any of this starting to sound familiar? I would search and search for that one perfect program that would take away all the fears, risks, and headaches involved in the process and I could just sit back and watch the money roll in. Then I had something amazing happen. No, I didn't strike it rich and become a millionaire overnight as some of the programs said I would. I had a reality check. All of the get rich quick envelope stuffing, claim processing, and survey taking scams were only a get rich quick trick for the companies that offered them. I soon realized that while there actually is good money to be made on the web, there really isn't any such thing as "free" money. There are definitely some amazing money making opportunities out in cyberspace, but most are going to require a little effort to make them really successful. I guess the old adage is right, "you reap what you sow".
So, how do you apply this new found insight to picking a program that's right for you? First of all, those 5 minute success stories are just that... stories. In all likelihood, and without some miraculous stroke of luck, the only way you are going to go from everyday Joe (or Jane) to millionaire in five minutes is if you win some lottery. Although, in most cases, your odds of making money with the lottery are probably better than your chances of making money with some of the shadier get rich quick online schemes. Also, all of those sites that promise to set everything up for you and all you have to do is sit back and watch the money fall at your feet? You might want to find a comfortable place to sit, because if you do nothing and expect them to do it all for you, then you will probably be sitting there for quite a while.
So, while you're sitting there, why don't you take some time to read all the way through this site. I know it may seem like it goes on forever, but I am going to tell you what you really need to know to succeed in the work at home business. And first things first, nearly every worthwhile work at home program is going to require at least a little time and effort, at least to start with. Some will require more than others, but expect to spend at least some time with the initial start up. The key to how much will be required really depends on several factors, but the main ones are:
1. How much time you have to devote to developing your new online business.
2. What kind of skills you are bringing in with you in regards to things like website design, html coding, and the other technical aspects of the business.
3. How much support you get from the program publisher.
4. How willing you are to learn and follow instructions from those who have been successful in the business.
5. How much money you are willing to invest in the business.
Let's focus on these key factors for a moment:
Number one: Time
The first, and possibly one of the most important, is how much time can you "realistically" spend working on your business? Let me be perfectly honest here for a moment. If you are not willing or able to put the time in to developing and setting up your business correctly, then you are most likely not going to see much of a return from your program. While most of the higher end programs are very well established for you in advance, there are still going to be some actions that you will have to take to see that you are achieving the goals you are trying to reach. Once again, "you reap what you sow".
For starters, most of the programs that include "free" websites with your purchase are going to need some work to truly be useful and "search engine friendly". Most of these sites have the required elements to be a useful website, but they lack a lot of the "personal" elements that make them stand out from the crowd. In a sense, they are "cookie" cutter websites in that they all pretty much look alike. This is a problem in and of itself, in that the search engines, and Google in particular, does not like this type of website. In fact, if Google finds that your new bargain website matches a hundred other websites, then they will more than likely not even index it in their searches. This is something that most of the "gurus" on the web won't tell you. Now this isn't to say that you should stay away from programs that provide a free website with your program. Not at all. If nothing else, you at least have a starting point to build from, without all of the expense and time of cr!
eating your own website from the ground up. Think of it this way, they built the house. All you have to do is decorate it.
Do yourself a favor. If you don't take anything else from this paragraph, read the next sentence VERY CAREFULLY! The single most important part of your website is NOT the ads or the product you are selling. It is the CONTENT that makes up the bulk of your page. I can't stress enough how important this is. It may not sound that important at first, but once you get an idea of how the search engines actually work, then you will see how important this really is. Basically, if you do not have unique, interesting, and informative content on your website, then you can pretty much forget about ever being anywhere near the top of the search engine results. In fact, without good quality content on your page, most search engines will not even index your pages. Remember the reference to Google earlier? They are a prime example of this. Google bases a lot of its search indexing on the quality and quantity of the content on your site. If Google doesn't feel you have enough content, or good, quality content that would benefit their searchers, then they will simply pass you up, or at the least index you so far down in the search results that you might as well not even exist. And most of the other search engines are picking up on this and looking more closely at their own website submissions.
So, make sure that you add good quality content that would actually make the web surfer who has just found your site actually want to spend time on your site. Don't just give them a basically empty page with a bunch of links to programs and gadgets for them to buy. Give them the information that they came to your site to find in the first place. And it really isn't that difficult to do once you understand a few basic principles about website design.
But that's a topic for our next key factor, so let's just sum this part up by saying this: Just be prepared to put in a little time to fine tune your program, whether it is embellishing your website by adding features, adding text and content, or whatever. This is one of the most important things you can do if you expect to have a productive site that attracts the search engines, and eventually, your customers.
Number Two: Skills
Now, as for the skills that you bring to the table? Rest assured that you do not have to be a computer programmer to make money on the Internet. This is merely going to slow the process down a little as you move through the learning curve.
While not all programs will require you to have a website, in my honest opinion, you are passing up on multiple streams of income without one. Most programs will not expect you to already be an Internet guru with your own arsenal of websites at your disposal, but if you do have one, then you are ahead of the game. Nearly all good programs will be designed with the beginner in mind and some even provide you with your own starter website, as was mentioned in the previous section. If you do not already have a website of your own or the necessary tools to edit and update a site, there are many helpful and useful websites out there that can guide you through every step of the way. I highly recommend downloading one of the free HTML and programming editors. They work right on your computer and you can re-work or change your existing websites, or event create your own from scratch. The best part, other than being free, is that you really do not need any prior programming experience to use most of these programs. They are very easy to understand and user friendly for the beginner as well as the expert. I personally use the NVU HTML-editor myself and it works great. In fact, most of my site listed in the resource box below was designed and modified using that very program.
And if you do reach a place where you are stuck and don't know what to do, then the very tool you're using now is a gold mine of information and help for you to use. There is a wealth of knowledge on the web just waiting for you to tap into it. There is everything from free information such as forums, blogs, and articles to complete premium services that will walk you through the process or even do it for you. Not sure if you need a premium service? There are many free website tools available to help you along as well. These can include checking your site for errors, ranking, dead links, and all kinds of other problems. If that doesn't fulfill your curiosity, then there are some more free products and services on my site listed in the resource box below that you might want to try.
The point to remember here is this: Don't be afraid of what you don't already know. Look for the answer if you don't know what it is. Everyone has to start somewhere and most people's fears of technical issues are nothing that can't be overcome with a little research and knowledge.
Number Three: Support
Which brings us to the next factor. What kind of support is your program publisher going to provide? This is very important in speeding up your learning curve and has a big impact on how quickly you can expect to see results.
As was stated in the previous paragraph, most publishers have the beginner in mind, at least to some extent, when they design a new money making opportunity. After all, the majority of their customers are going to be people that are new to making money on the Internet. If you already knew how to do it, you wouldn't need their product in the first place, would you? So, expect the program you join to provide you with most of the tools you need to get a reasonably good start on your business. The more materials and support they offer, the better off you'll be no matter what your level of skill is. These are the building blocks that will be the foundation of your business, so don't overlook this when deciding on a program.
Take in to consideration your own skills when deciding what type of program you want to try. If you already have your own site and are just looking for something to add to that, then you may not need a program with a free website and all the extra bells and whistles included. On the other hand, if you think HTML is something that you get off the dollar menu at McDonalds, then you may want to find a program that is designed for someone just starting out. It's all about what you think your capabilities are and what you're willing to do on your own.
There's no shortage of variety in the styles of programs out there. You will find everything from turn key online stores, to affiliate programs where you advertise other peoples products for them, to direct marketing of your own products. The possibilities are truly endless here. Just as a little side note here. If you are new to working online, then you owe it to yourself to check out the wide variety of affiliate programs that are out there. As a beginner, I would highly recommend this type of program to start you out. What could be simpler? You simply advertise other people's products on your website, or by any other means that you choose, and if you direct someone to their products and they buy something, then you receive a commission from the sale. They take care of all the business details such as shipping, receiving, accounting, returns, overhead, etc. All you have to do is keep promoting their products from the comfort of your own home. Keep in mind here though, that you will have to PROMOTE these products. Just having a website set up and on the web is not going to direct any sales your way without some advertising to bring them in. But we will discuss advertising a little later.
If you haven't already picked up on this by searching the work at home websites, you will also find that a lot of programs are basically just an e-book that you download to get you started. However, you don't have to necessarily be intimidated by these programs. While they essentially may only be providing you with information, there are some that can absolutely blow you away with the wealth of knowledge and insight that they provide. Information, in and of itself, is one of your most valuable tools when establishing an online business. Read all the mistakes and pitfalls that are discussed all over the web. Learn from their mistakes and build from their successes. That's the beauty of a work at home business. You can take as much time as you want to spend learning and studying all of the various techniques and ideas that are scattered around the web. Decide which one is right for you, and then commit to it. Best of all, if you take it seriously and take the information that is available to you and apply it, then you may very well make your dreams of unlimited online wealth a reality. It all comes down to how much you are willing to learn about the things you don't already know and then applying that knowledge effectively.
Number Four: Learn and Follow Instructions
And that leads us right into the next factor which is, how willing you are to learn and follow the instructions provided by the program. If you are seriously wanting to make money with your own home based business, then the easiest and quickest way is by following the direction of someone who has done it.
Well over 90% of work at home businesses that fail are due to people not following through with the process that was laid out for them in their program. It really is that simple. It's just as if someone gave you turn by turn directions to a destination that you had never been to before. Sure, if you just took your own path, you might eventually get there on your own. But, wouldn't it be a lot easier and less time consuming to follow the directions from someone who already knew the best way to get there instead? If you do a little research, you'll find that most worthwhile programs are laid out in a step by step approach that will guide you through the process in the correct way. Granted, this may not always seem to be the easiest or fastest thing to you, but that is why you purchase a program in the first place. To get the direction and guidance to do something that you didn't already know how to do.
Take my word for it, the road to online wealth is not going to be an overnight trip. To make the truly life changing amounts of income that most of us desire for, isn't going to be all that fast at first. There is usually a considerable amount of "setup" time that you just have to take into account when you decide to take on a business such as this.
First of all, you have to realize that if you are starting out with a completely new website that no one has ever seen, then you can't expect it to just magically pop up on the first search engine that looks for your particular type of site. There is a lot of preparation involved in getting a website out there for the world to see and this is usually what separates the "haves" from the "have nots" when it comes to a successful work at home business. Once again, that is why you do your research and find a good quality program that has already streamlined this process for you. There are so many things that can trip you up and slow you down when you're just starting out. And it is very easy to get frustrated and want to give up when you don't see the results you are hoping for in a short amount of time. But don't give up. It is the persistence and constant vigilance that makes these programs work. If they were all that easy, then the paybacks would reflect the effort required and they wouldn't be worth the time in the first place. The reason most of these programs have such tremendous money making potential is because of the fact that there is a certain amount of dedication required to "get it right" and that's what makes all the difference. The only sure way to make that happen is to follow the steps that are laid out before you and you should be on your way to the success you desire.
Number Five: Money
Now for what is probably the hardest factor for most people. How much money are you willing to invest in your online business venture? Don't panic just yet! While this is one of the most important of all the factors in regards to how fast you can see results from your efforts, having a limited budget is not going to keep you from being able to make money with a work at home business. There have been literally hundreds, if not thousands, of people who have make very good incomes on the Internet with little more than a lot of desire and the time to work at making it happen.
Aside from a few initial start up costs, such as the cost of your program, registering your domain name, and in some cases, the cost of hosting your website, most work at home businesses can be started with little upfront expense. It really all comes down to what kind of time frame you are looking for in regards to a return on your investment. While it is true that without a hefty amount of advertising revenue to get the word out about your site, you can expect to see somewhat slower results, but with wise use of free tools, online information, and a little trial and error, you can still make money with a work at home business. On the other hand, if you indeed do have a little start up capital to invest in your new business, then you can definitely speed up this process dramatically.
You see, here's the deal on websites. It doesn't matter how perfectly designed your website is. It doesn't matter how many top selling products you put on your site. It doesn't even matter how much unique, interesting, and informative content you put on your website. So what matters then? VISIBILITY of your website is all that matters. If no one ever sees your site, then nothing else will make up for that. That's it. Game over. You have to get your site out there in the spotlight if you ever expect to have anyone visit your site, let alone buy something from it. That's where the amount of money you intend to invest will make the most difference. If you've got the extra funds to pay for some high profile advertising, then you can dramatically shorten the length of time it takes to get your site noticed and getting a steady flow of traffic through it.
You can use all kinds of different media to promote your site, but if you have to limit yourself to just a few, then you want focus all of your efforts on just three key players in the Internet world. These are the three main search engines. They are Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Above all though, you want to get your site noticed by Google. They have been the highest ranking search engine for quite some time, and that doesn't really appear to be going to change any time soon. What is one of the fastest ways to get your site on Google you ask? Most agree that the answer to that question would be to use Google's pay per click program called "Google Adwords". Check out Google's website or use the link in my site listed in the resource box for more info on the Google AdWords program. Basically, you bid on the key words that you want to advertise your site with and if you are the highest bidder for those particular key words, then you get the top ads on Google's main search results pages. You can set a daily spending cap so that you stay within the budget you set, but you have to realize that the lower your daily cap and the higher the price-per-click on your key words, the less times you are going to have your ad shown per day before you reach the spending cap and you're done for that day. But don't get me wrong, this program has made countless websites money and it could be just what you're looking for to promote your new site. You just need to realize going into it that while this can be a very quick way to get the word out about your site, it will probably end up costing you a pretty penny as well. And if your particular niche, or area of interest for your site, is one of the more popular ones with a lot of competition from the larger sites that can devote thousands of dollars a day to advertising, then you can almost guarantee to pay top dollar for those most sought after key words for your site. Now once again, don't panic. This is just one of the many, many forms of online advertising that you can employ to get the buzz out about your new up and coming financial whirlwind of a website.
You can submit your site for free to nearly all of the major search engines out there. I say some, because there are a few that strictly index their lists from what they find on the web themselves. In that case you will need to make sure you get a lot of quality inbound links to your site from as many well known sites as you can get to link up with you. Once again, this is where the time factor comes in. It takes time to contact each Webmaster of a site you want to link with. And then there's the time waiting for a reply. And so on. And so on. If you do a little research, you will find that there are several sites out there that will link your site to others for you, which can save you a lot of time. But, just a word of warning here. If you use these type of sites, then make sure of two things.
--Number one, make sure you are getting a "reciprocal link" to the other sites you are hooking up with. A reciprocal link means that your site links to theirs and their site links to yours. You don't want to have all one way links either into or out of your site. The search engines, and here again, Google is really picky on this one, they have a thing called PR which stands for page rank. This is determined by the number of sites that are willing to link to your site. This shows a sign of trust in your site that the search engines like to see.
--Now the second thing about these link exchanges is this: Stay away from what is called "link farms". These are sites that you can basically pay to be linked with every site they can get their hands on based on the theory that the more links you have, good or bad, the better your search ranking will be with the search engines. This is a very big mistake in the eyes of the search engines and in extreme cases, you can actually get your site ranking lowered because of this, if not getting totally banned from the search engine all together. The big three, and most of the smaller search engines as well, see this as tampering with the system, which it really is, and they do not take it lightly. So, do yourself a favor and stay away from the link farms.
Just go out there and do your own foot work. Talk to the other webmasters and show them why an exchange of links with your site would be beneficial to you both. This way you can make some honest links with some of the other sites out there and you should have no problems with the search engines. Not to mention that every link you can get from another website is another potential stream of traffic that you just got for nothing more than a little constructive conversation with the other webmasters.
You can also check out some of the free traffic generating websites out there such as TrafficSwarm, HitSafari, and Webbizinsider. They may not generate the levels of traffic that they claim to be able to at first, but traffic is traffic, and every person that sees your new website is one more potential customer.
What it all boils down to is this: Your initial start up capital for your new work at home business is really only going to affect you in two ways, only one of which is fatal to your business.
--First off is that the amount you have to invest in the marketing and advertising of your site will determine how quickly you achieve your goals, not if you achieve them. More advertising money spells faster results, but less spending money just means slower results, not necessarily no results at all.
--So that just leaves the one potentially fatal affect that your amount of investment can have on your business. You have to be able to budget your cash flow to match your results. Some call this your "rate of return". For instance, if you have a start up budget of $500 (and this is just an example), and you are spending $250 a week on AdWords ads and various other methods of advertising, but your site is only bringing in $100-$150 a week in income, then it doesn't take a rocket scientist or a math scholar to figure out that you aren't going to be in business very long before your budget runs dry. The trick is to find something that works for you AND fits your budget.
The silver lining here would have to be that if all else fails, you've always got time. Most major search engines will usually get around to indexing your site after a little while, so don't think that without expensive advertising your site will never be known. It all comes down to time. The current lag on most search engines is around 6-8 weeks to index a site. Some may even take longer. The key is to not give up. You are in this for the long haul right? Remember that persistence and vigilance that keeps the work at home system alive? Plain and simply put, this type of work can indeed make you more wealth than you ever thought was possible, but it will require a commitment from you to see it through the initial ups and downs.
The upside to all of this? Most of the higher end programs that you will find have something very great in common with each other. Nearly every one one them, once they are established, require very little effort to sustain them. In fact, most of them will continue to build upon themselves and keep gaining and earning with little to no effort from you. The key is seeing them through the beginning stages to make sure they are firmly established. If you have the desire, the patience, and the drive to put in a little time and effort to better your current financial situation, the you very possibly could one day turn that dream into a reality. You too, can have your own online work at home business.
Conclusion:
I hope this gives you a little better understanding of what it takes to really make a successful work at home business that will provide you with years of steady, ever growing, reliable income for you to enjoy. The keys to success are not that difficult, as you can see, so now all you have to do is find a program that's right for you.
And now that you have a little deeper insight into what the pros and cons are of your new online business venture, I have searched the web and found a few of the really exceptional programs that I think you may be interested in looking into. These are some of the best money making opportunities for your new work at home career. If you are interested, please feel free to check them out on my website listed in the resource box and see what you think.
I want to wish you all the success in whatever business you choose and remember...we all have to start somewhere!!

Starting to Work from Home Online by: Shannon Kietzman
Are you tired of working for somebody else? Does it bother you to watch someone else get richer off of your hard work? Do you yearn to be your own boss? Why not try to work from home online?
How Can You Work from Home Online you ask?
Work from home online jobs are abundant and range from simple, small jobs that allow for a modest residual income to jobs that can allow you to quit your day job and experience a freedom you never thought possible.
Starting to work from home online is not as difficult as you might think. First, you need to gather the correct materials. Obviously, you will need a computer in order to work from home online. In addition, you will need to get an Internet connection. A high-speed Internet connection is the best way to go if you plan to work form home online. This will save you a great deal of time and allow you to work more efficiently.
Since you will be spending a great deal of time connected to the Internet with your computer when you work from home online, you will also want to get plenty of software to protect your computer. For starters, you will need a virus protector such as PC-Cillan or McAffee or any number of their competitors. Without a virus protector, your computer is a sitting duck for being attacked by a virus. This is particularly true considering you will most likely correspond regularly with many people through email when you work from home online.
Another good investment is a spyware protector. Spyware is found on many websites and even on software purchased for your computer. Spyware was originally designed to help businesses gather information from computer users in order to better target their demographic market. Unfortunately, spyware is also used for negative purposes, such as for hacking into computer systems. Therefore, you will want to install spyware software when you start to work from home online.
What are Your Work from Home Online Options?
There are endless possibilities when it comes to work from home online. First, there are several different freelance opportunities, including translation, graphic design, photography, writing, data entry, online surveys, and transcription. All of these careers can be pursued and completed either entirely or in large part while working from home online.
Other work from home online options include completing surveys for cash and selling your own items on eBay without ever having to leave your house. Or, you can set up your own website and set up residual income through Google ads or through affiliate links.
Yet another option for working from home online is that of telecommuting. Telecommuting essentially consists of working at your regular job via computer and webcam instead of going into the office. Telecommuting offers some distinct advantages for both you and your employer. It is definitely worth looking into.

How to Become the Best Blog Site in Your Niche by: TJ Philpott
Being the best blog site in your niche carries many advantages especially if you blog to make money. Operating a blog that has a strong following is a reflection of the dedication and commitment invested into the ongoing process of the blog development itself. Any blog owner/operator knows what it takes to attract and retain the average blog reader and this is not something that happens overnight.
Now if you blog to make money you can see how a strong reader base could benefit you financially. In addition your authority within the niche will make it all the easier for you to attract additional readers since other blogs will have the tendency to link to your site.
What we're going to focus on here today is the importance of paying attention to the comments left by subscribers at your site. Within these comments you can find valuable nuggets of information that can be used to improve not only the blog but even your marketing strategy.
Here are 3 ways to use these blog reader comments that can help you become a more effective blogger and marketer.
Market Research Information
Putting out questions to your subscribers asking their opinions on certain products or trends could yield useful market research information as to current consumer preferences. Another approach could be polling your readers on what are some of their more pressing problems to which they wish they had a solution: what bugs them!
In both these scenarios the response of your subscribers could uncover a previously hidden niche or trend you could capitalize on. Market research information like this can easily cost a significant sum for a large corporation but you can collect this information right from your blog and use it to your advantage.
Blog Performance Feedback
Asking for opinions on the subjects of your post or perhaps the content itself can give you feedback as to whether you may need to make a change. Even simple inquiries about the layout of your blog, the graphics that are used, or the format of your posts could lead to dramatic improvements for the site.
Remember your blog is really for your readers so you should strive to give them what they want.
Encourages Interaction
Involving subscribers in these polling processes or even merely responding to their comments helps complete the 'cycle' of interactivity. This creates a sense of community for subscribers and increases their satisfaction. People like to know that their words or opinions are being heard and better yet acted upon.
Being the best blog site within your niche comes with many advantages and benefits but it also translates into a certain amount of commitment. When you blog to make money the stakes go even higher. Learning to tap into any available resource that can enhance your blog development and marketing effectiveness is a valuable skill. Using comments left by blog readers as we discussed above will allow you to put more distance between yourself and your competition. It is simply up to you to recognize and act upon any useful information a blog reader may have already left on the site for you even if it hasn't been solicited.

How to Get Your Ex-girlfriend Back - Get Your Ex-girlfriend Back When She is Seeing Another Guy?
Author: Jc Coll
If you want to get your ex-girlfriend back when she is seeing another guy, lashing out in jealousy or anger is not going to work. At the same time, sitting back passively and crying in your pillow every night is not going to work either. Of course, dating some other girl and flaunting her in front of your ex-girlfriend has proven to not work in most cases. So what is left to get your ex-girlfriend back when she is seeing another guy? Is it even possible? For most people it will be possible, but you first need to analyze whether you actually want to get your ex-girlfriend back. When she is seeing another guy, it is easy to simply want her because it appears you can't have her. When you are dealing with another person's emotions you must first determine your motivations for wanting to get your ex-girlfriend back when she is seeing another guy. If you didn't want her back the week before you found out about the new guy, then it is likely you are feeling territorial, not that you really want her for yourself. It is unfair to move further if this is the case. If you determine your motivations are genuine love then it is time to consider your chances to get your ex-girlfriend back. When she is seeing another guy you must next determine how serious she is about him. If she is just casually dating and he is one of many then your chances are better than if she has been seeing him for awhile and you just found out about it. The longer she has been seeing the new guy the less chance you may have to get your ex-girlfriend back. When she is seeing another guy you can talk with her friends and family members in a casual manner to determine if she talks about you at all. It can be hard to hear that you have been forgotten, but finding out if you are still on her mind can help determine your chances of getting her back. The more recent the break up the higher chances she is not seriously connected and you are still in her mind to some extent. If a lot of time has passed you need to start by reintroducing yourself into her life in a casual manner, then analyze your chances.

How Do I Get My Girlfriend Back - Get Your Ex Girlfriend Back As If by Magic
Author: Elaine Currie
If your girlfriend has broken up with you and you want to get her back the question "how do I get my girlfriend back"? is probably the only thing on your mind.
Your best chance of getting your ex back is by doing the following:
Stop reliving the breakup
The first thing to avoid is the temptation to over-analyze the situation. It would be a pointless waste of valuable time and energy to keep replaying the circumstances of the breakup with your girlfriend and asking yourself if there was anything you could have done to prevent it.
Even if there was something you could have done differently (or even should have done differently) before the relationship foundered, it won't change anything; your girlfriend has broken up with you, now you need to look to the future.
Keep calm
When your ex breaks up with you and you still love her, it is natural to worry in case she meets somebody else. She is now your ex girlfriend, so there is nothing to prevent her finding a new boyfriend, but you still think of her as "my girlfriend" and you want her to be with you and nobody else.
Your girlfriend will have been upset by the break up; it is a highly emotional event even if she instigated the break. She won't be ready to get into another relationship right away any more than you would. Stay calm and resist any temptation to contact her and beg her to take you back. Putting pressure on her at this time will only serve to make her pull further away.
Give her time
This is hard, but it is a vital part of the strategy involved in solving the problem of what you can do to get your girlfriend back. Instead of moping around the house asking yourself "what can I do to get my girl back", go out with friends and do your best to have some fun. Having fun obviously won't be easy at first but it is important to keep yourself occupied.
The big thing to avoid is giving in to the temptation to hang around where you know you are likely to "accidentally" meet up with your ex girlfriend. You need to give her space to miss you; let her wonder where you are and what you are doing. If she regrets breaking up with you, she will start worrying in case you start going out with another girl.
When you and your girlfriend have had a few weeks to calm down and think things through, is the time to make contact. It could be that she regrets the break up as much as you do, and she will make the first move. Keep the initial contact casual and let her know you want to be friends. Don't to try to rush the process of getting back with your ex girlfriend, exerting emotional pressure is not the way to win your girl back.

Surviving A Breakup - Follow These Simple Steps
Author: John R. Roberts
Going through a breakup is a very difficult thing. At times, surviving a breakup might seem like the toughest thing in the world, but believe it or not, you can and will survive it. Of course you feel emptiness inside, which makes moving forward and getting back with your life even harder. All you really want to do is lie in bed and hide under the covers. But you need to look around and realize that most people have gone through a hard breakup and they have survived, just like you will. Before you know it you will be getting back to enjoying your life.
When it comes to coping with a breakup and the pain that goes along with it, you can't keep your feelings inside. Spend time with a close friend you can confide in and share a good cry and tell them how you are feeling. If nothing else get a pen and paper and write your feelings down. You could even get a special journal and write all your feelings down and after you have gotten it all out, you can burn the journal, in a symbolic moving on ceremony. Whatever you do, you have to try to get the pain out, don't keep it bottled up.
As you start feeling your old self returning, you can begin to look at your relationship to understand what was good about it and what was bad. By understanding what happened in the relationship it will allow you to make the best decisions regarding your next move. If things were good for the most part and you enjoyed being together, there might be a chance to get back together. But if you were having serious problems, there's a good chance that you two are done.
Now that you've taken the time to know what happened in your relationship, it is time to decide if you will try to get back together or if you will throw in the towel and move on from this relationship. If you realistically think there is something still there and you want to get back together, there are important steps and techniques you need to follow to make it work. Many of these are based on the differing psychologies between men and women have.
If on the other hand you have decided to move on, you and your partner need to separate your lives. In a relationship, especially a long term one, it can be surprising how much your lives have become intertwined and splitting them up is not always an easy thing. You need to make this change, you don't want any landmines left over that can emotionally destroy you.
Dealing with a breakup is really tough but it definitely can be done. Use your friends and family as a support system to help you get through this tough time. People have compared breakups to having a death in the family, so obviously it is tough to deal with. Some of this is just too emotional to tackle all by yourself.

How A Rebound Relationship Can Work For You
Author: Joe Bisley
Are you sure that your new partner is really in love with you? You have to think out how a rebound relationship can work for you when they have not fully got over their last relationship. Some people use a rebound relationship to get themselves over the suffering they feel from their previous love affair. When they ended the previous affair, your chances of making your new relationship work are greatly improved. Your new partner had probably been thinking about ending their old relationship some time before plucking up the courage to actually do it. In this case, they will likely have got over the suffering from this break up and are seeking to move on. You should not assume the same thing when your new partner has just been dropped. There are people who are unable to live alone and who go from person to person because they don’t want to or unable to arrange the matters that caused their recent split. They get themselves emotionally involved very quickly again because they have to feel that they have someone who loves them. Rebound relationship like this are nearly always rather short lived; as their new partner you find it more and more difficult to be with someone who appears to be so needy and desperate. People who move into rebound relationships are not conscious of how they are behaving. All they think about is their own emotional suffering and any comfort and help they can get along the way solves their immediate problem. They find someone free who listens to them and this is all they want as they are not yet ready to love someone else. If you become their next partner you will get a rude awakening when you wake up to the reality that you are not loved. You suddenly realize that you are only being used as a stepping stone, while they recover and move on to their next adventure; for you this can be very demoralizing and painful to accept. So you must be very wary when you meet up with someone who has just been dropped by their ex. Make sure that their feelings for you are sincere before you get emotionally involved with them. Remember that people need time to get over a relationship. Just as when you suffer the death of a close friend family member, you must take the time necessary for the suffering to heal if you are to come out of it a stronger person in the end. Breaking off a relationship is usually the end of a dream and you are suffering because it did not have an “Alice in Wonderland” ending. It is important, when you meet up with someone who you think has found you on their rebound, to encourage them to date others and spend some time alone getting their own emotional template sorted out. Maintain contact as in the future you may wish to draw them into a long term relationship. When the two of you are meant for each other, it will likely happen, if not immediately. Doing things this way, you can make sure how a rebound relationship can work for you. Joe Bisley For further information click here http://magic-of-making-up-joebisley.blogspot.com

Emily Dickinson - A Wounded Deer Leaps Highest
Friday, October 16, 2009
A Wounded Deer — leaps highest –
I’ve heard the Hunter tell –
‘Tis but the Ecstasy of death –
And then the Brake is still!
The Smitten Rock that gushes!
The trampled Steel that springs!
A Cheek is always redder
Just where the Hectic stings!
Mirth is the Mail of Anguish
In which it Cautious Arm,
Lest anybody spy the blood
And “you’re hurt” exclaim!
Robert Browning - Life In A Love
Escape me?
Never—
Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at last, I fear—
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed—
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
It is but to keep the nerves at strain,
To dry one’s eyes and laugh at a fall,
And baffled, get up to begin again,—
So the chase takes up one’s life, that’s all.
While, look but once from your farthest bound,
At me so deep in the dust and dark,
No sooner the old hope drops to ground
Than a new one, straight to the selfsame mark,
I shape me—
Ever
Removed!
Elizabeth Barrett - How do I love thee? Let me count the ways
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
