Again, thank you for the continued support and

caring about my roof damage situation. As I

mentioned in the last issue, we are now able

to purchase the supplies and are trying to

raise the funds to pay for labor and hopefully

start fixing ceilings and walls INSIDE the house

soon. If you have not yet done so, please help

me spread the word by mentioning it in forums,

discussion lists, to groups you belong to and

people you know. Please send them here:

Featured Article

 

Paying For Your Traffic Can Be A Smart Move

 

 

There are many success stories you hear about businesses

making it good in the internet, yet there are hundreds

of stories that seem to contradict that notion. For each

success story we hear there are many more who do NOT, in

fact, succeed.

 

Is this through luck?  It takes good business sense,

perseverance, promotion, belief in your product, program

or service and more. Bring to your business the eagerness

to succeed, the determination to learn and the willingness

to invest both hard work and some money to achieve your

goals.

 

Like Neo, traffic is “The One”. ( For those who do not know

the movie, the Matrix, it DEFINES the idea or networking

and helping each other out, one of my top favorite movies.)

By the way, I just happen to have a couple of extra copies

from my now retiring brick and mortar store.  :-)

 

Without traffic, all your effort would just go to waste.

Every business needs customers and in the internet world

traffic is the walk in customer. Obviously, the more

traffic you have the more people you would be able to sell

your products to.

 

Like any business that’s at the *real world* mall, not

all potential customers will FIND your store or business

just by strolling down the sidewalks. So how DO you get

the customers to SEE and shop at YOUR store out of the

many they can choose from? And how will they FIND yours

if the are just searching for a particular item and do

not know which mall or store collection has it?

 

How do you get traffic, or crowds of potential customers

to YOU so you have a chance to make a good profit? Many

big companies generate traffic of thousands a day and

if *only* ten to fifteen percent actually buy, that

small percentage is enough to provide them with good

business.

 

Many of these success stories are due to traffic from

paying others. Yes that’s right; you have to spend money

to make money. Advertising is the key. The more people

that know that your site exists; the more people will

be visiting your offer.

 

While there are many ways that can get you advertising

for free, this do not generate the same high volume as

those methods that are getting paid. These paid

advertisements include using Google and Yahoo.

 

The Value of Searches

 

The search is the easiest and fastest medium in finding

what a person needs on the internet. Search engines have

been very popular because they provide a vital service

to many people. They are free and easy to use. With this

popularity, they get many visitors and clicks on and for

the most common sites that people go to. It is easy to

understand why so many companies would pay to advertise

with these search engines.

 

Search engines provide information to millions of users

each day. They provide links to many sites that a user

may be looking for. If your site's link pops up in the

high ranks of the search results page, you get a great

chance that the surfer will go to your site. While

search engine optimization is a cheaper and low cost

way to get your site a high rank, paying for

advertisements will ensure that you will be

on the top ranks.

 

When you pay for your advertisements, it is like paying

for your traffic. This may sound like not such a good idea,

but the payoffs would tell a different story. When you pay

for your traffic, you are guaranteed of a consistent

traffic flow to your site. You will never go with an

empty sales day.

 

Paying for your Traffic

 

Usually, you will be charged with the number of hits

a link gets when your ads is clicked. This is called

" pay per click". For some search engines, you will be

charged with the number of times your ad shows up when

a certain keyword or keyword phrase is searched. It is

imperative that you have good keyword content in your ad.

There are many tools that aid you in using the right

keyword for the right moment. Send an email me to at

mailto:rimdigest@usa.net?subject=Keywords and I will

send you a great free tool to assist you in this.

 

All the money you spend in paying for your traffic will

not be wasted. You will get an impressive boost in traffic

which will result in a boost in your sales figures. Paying

for your traffic would be a really good idea and you will

get all the benefits it has to offer.

get traffic to your web sites.

Positive Quotes

 

Principle -- particularly moral principle -- can never be

a weathervane, spinning around this way and that with the

shifting winds of expediency. Moral principle is a compass

forever fixed and forever true.

 

-- Edward R. Lyman

 

and

 

The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.

I shall use my time.

THE BOTTLE OF WINE

 

For all of us who are married, were married, wish

you were married, or wish you weren't married, this

is something to smile about the next time you see a

bottle of wine:

 

Sally was driving home from one of her business

trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly

Navajo woman walking on the side of the road.

 

As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped

the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like

a ride.

 

With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into

the car.

 

Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make

a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old

woman just sat silently, looking intently at

everything she saw, studying every little detail,

until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to

Sally.

 

"What in bag?" asked the old woman.

 

Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's

a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband."

 

The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or

two.

 

Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder,

she said:

 

"Good trade....."

sure any ad links you have on either page stay updated.

order your solo (s) and send the ad text

to me at  rimdigest@usa.net with the subject

archivedsolo and add $25 PER solo you want

archived to the payment on the ads page

Well I hope that all will be well with you!

I was able to send $10, but that's all I can

handle right now. I'll keep looking at your

offers in the Rim Digest and will try to purchase

more items this year. I'll also keep you firmly

in my prayers. It's going to be OK. Believe it Jan.

Hang in there. You are strong and you are wise.

It will be OK.

 

Janice

 

> thanks so much, Janice

 

well, I am stubborn, lol, does that count as strong?

 

I now have enough to buy the supplies and am working on

paying for labor. Between my wonderful net friends and

family and my tiny little country church, I KNOW it

will be okay and thank God daily for all of you.

I plan on sending something for you next week.

I had no idea you were having problems until

I saw the link that Sharon put up. She really

is a great friend. You know you helped me out

since day one, when I didn't even know how to

put up a web page. I truly thank you for all

your patience from the days of Newbie 911.

 

Be safe and you take care. God bless.
