It is hard to believe it but my "baby" girl, Shannon,
will turn 18 tomorrow, the 6th. Of course, being an
August baby, it was 103 degrees when I brought her home
to a house with only a small window air conditioner-
and, as my luck would have it, it was 105 here on
Tuesday and my central air went out - found out it is
either the motor or compressor - neither of which I can
afford to fix - so once I again I am here with only one
small window air conditioner and it was 107 yesterday!
Luckily, I never let the EX take out the one in the
office window so I am practically living in my office.
At night I open my office door and sleep on the couch,
which is, also luckily, in the room next TO my home office.
Needless to say it is a real NEED that makes me leave
this room.
Shannon moved out on her own in the spring and Justin is
away until at least October so I CAN live in one or two
rooms. I am SO eager for fall but then know I will have
the usual opposite problem, trying to HEAT this old house.
I sure wish there was a way to save about 30 of these
degrees we sure do not need and just take them out of
storage for the winter, lol

4 Things ALL Articles Must Have
The importance of articles in today’s websites
and internet based companies is immeasurable.
They dictate a lot in the success and the drive of traffic
to one’s site. It has become a key element in making a site
work and earns a profit. A website operator and owner must
have the good sense to include articles in his or her site
that will work for him or her and earn the site owner the
many benefits articles can give to his or her site.
Articles have been known to be the driving force in driving
traffic to a website. Articles are a factor in giving sites
high rankings in search result pages. The higher a site ranks,
the bigger slice of the traffic flow pie it gets.
With a huge number in traffic flow, there are more profits
and more potential for other income generating schemes as well.
But, it is not just about stuffing your site with articles;
they have certain requirements as well. These requirements
must be met to obtain the maximum benefits an article will
provide for your site. A well written article will catch
the eyes and interest of your customers and keep them coming
back for more. They would also be able to recommend your site
to others.
Here are some tips to help you and assist you in making your articles.
Below you will read about four things all articles must have to make
it successful and helpful in making your site a profit earning
and traffic overflowing site.
Keywords and Keyword Phrases.
An article must always be centered on the keywords and keyword phrases.
As website visitors go to a site, there are those who are just merely
browsing but many are actually looking for a specific something.
When this happens, a searcher usually goes to a search engine
and types in the keywords he is looking for (e.g. Toyota Camry,
Meningitis, Tax Lawyer and etc.).
It could be anything he or she wants.
The Important thing is that you have an article that has
the keywords that are related to your site. For example,
if you maintain an auto parts site, you must be able to
have articles about cars and their parts.
There are many tools on the internet that provide service
in helping a webmaster out in determining what keywords
and keyword phrases are mostly sought out. You can use
this tool to determine what keywords to use and write about.
Keyword Density
Know that you have your keywords and keyword phrases and
you must use them fully. An article must have good keyword
density for a search engine to feel its presence.
Articles should at least have ten to fifteen percent
of keyword density in their content for search engines
to rank a site high in their search results.
Getting a high rank is what articles do best for a site.
Keyword density is the number of times a keyword or keyword phrase
is used on an article. The number varies depending on the number
of words used in an article. An effective article must have
a keyword density that is not too high or too low.
With a very high density, the essence of the article is lost
and may turn off a reader as well as the search engines.
It comes off as overeager. A low number may be ignored
by the search engines.
Good Article Content
Like what is stated above, you cannot just riddle an article
with keywords. They must also be regarded as good reading materials.
Articles must be able to entertain people as well as provide good
information and help for their needs. Articles should be written well
with correct spelling and good grammar. If you want people to trust you,
make your work good and well thought out.
People respond well to figures, facts and statistics.
Try to get great information and as many facts as you can.
A good and well written article will boost your reputation
as an expert in your chosen field or topic. As more people
believe in you, they will be able to trust you and your products.
Linking Articles
This is another important thing to remember.
If you are going to submit articles to ezines and/or contribute
your articles to newsletters and other sites, DON’T ever forget
to include a link to your site. A little resource box with a brief
description of your site and you should always be placed right after
your articles that you have submitted. If people like your articles,
they will most likely click on the link directing them to your site.
