Casual Articles - How A Fountain of Spit Showed Me Why Adsense Templates Don't Work
I can hear the jokes already and most of them are not politically correct. Let me throw out a word that we often don't attach to work and yet I think it is a word of redemption, of contribution, of achievement, of community, and ultimately, of legacy.Here it is: LOVE.Kahil Gibran proclaimed, "Work is love made visible". I would further clarify his position by insisting that a job is what you do for a paycheck.Work is what you do for a life. It is that energizing, all-encompassing activity that allows you to bring skills to bear in ways that are satisfying beyond a pay period. It is that activity that saves you from being a faceless number in a mechanistic wheel-hence it holds redemptive pow

E-mail is a wonderful way to reach a large number of people for little cost. But it won’t do you any good if it goes straight into the delete file.The first thing you have to do is get past all the filters…that means avoiding trigger words, and you’ve no doubt already read plenty about that. My goal is to help you pass the “glance test” and to create a friendly feeling in the minds of your readers.First the from line: Be honest about who is writing. If the recipients might know your name, use it. If they might know your business name instead, use that. Hiding behind some goofy email address labels you as sneaky and untrustworthy.Then the subject line: Make it interesting, but true, and
Whoa! What had I gotten myself into? What was this, some kinda cult?
Alright I'll admit it. I'm an addict--an adsense junkie! But it was counseling I needed not some nutters' army! I tried to ease my way out without being noticed, but too late, the bald dude on the podium noticed me. He beckoned me forward with a flick of his hand. I approached cautiously and started up the steps but he practically shoved me back. I could see why, he couldn't have been an inch over five foot; I'd tower over him if we stood side by side--not the best situation if you're trying to be an effective commanding officer. Commanding officer--huh? I guess the atmosphere was contagious.
"NAME?" he bellowed.
"Marc Ting," I replied somewhat timidly.
"SAY WHAT?" he barked showering me with a fine mist spray of spittle.
"MARC K. TING, SIR!" I shot back. But apparently that was not good enough. He glared at me as his face chameleoned through various shades of red before settling on a beetroot hue. For a second there I thought he was about to smack me. I guess the same thought must have crossed his mind because he abruptly turned his attention to the rest of the troop.
"YOU!" he growled to some skinny pimple-faced kid who had ADDICT written all over, "NAME!"
"OTTO RHEES-PONDA, ADCENT FIXMASTER SIR!" pimple-face shouted back with rank precision; looked like normal speech was frowned upon in this neck of the woods. The Fixmaster turned back to me. The look on his face left no doubt; I'd better get it right this time round or else. I did! But that didn't stop him from laying into me anyway.
"WE HAVE TWO KINDS OF ADSENSE ADDICTS HERE" he boomed while pacing the podium, "THOSE WHO ONCE MADE A FORTUNE FROM ADSENSE AND THE LOSERS WHO NEVER DID!" He paused to catch his breath which was okay by me; the fine mist spray of spittle had long since turned into a cascading waterfall of spit that somehow seemed to land nowhere else but my forehead. Thus for the first time in my life I was grateful for the grotesquely bushy eyebrows the powers-that-be felt compelled to bestow upon me from the moment I was born.

For any startup to be successful following key areas need to be focussed.Developing your Customer base. Few startups are established with customers in hand and few establish the company and then lookup for customers. Either way it is a challenge to acquire new customers and expand your business. Startups should come up with blue ocean strategy and make the competition irrelevant and build the customer base.Building your Brand Brand Building is the next most important thing as it gives a perception about your company. Who you are and what you do?. If you get your brand established well then, you will see lot of potential customers in your market space walking down your way. Building the brand hel

With the 2008 elections quickly approaching, it seems that you just can't get away from the election coverage. Everywhere you go, you'll hear something about the election. This includes your office. At the water cooler, right before a meeting, even just chatting in the hallway, the subject is bound to come up. The question is this: Should you discuss politics in the office? Based on my experience, the quick answer is a definite no. There are multiple reasons for this, but I'll focus on the main one which is described below.While it may seem harmless to discuss politics with your co-workers, you need to remember one important fact: Politics is a very polarizing subject. People tend to

One of the positively amazing things about blogs is their ability to rapidly pick up traffic. It has a lot to do with the way they link to each other so easily. This rapid traffic growth is a good thing and indeed it is what every blog owner craves for so much so that they often go to great lengths in their effort to attract traffic.However it can also be a terrible thing if one is not prepared for it. It can mean that your blog goes down at the critical moment when it needs to stay up so that you can take advantage of the increased traffic. The truth of the matter is that most blogs run on free or cheap hosting sites are run from one computer. This works okay when you have 20 to 50 visitors but quickly tu
"Tell me son" the Fixmaster continued, "When did you first start your adsense endeavors?" I wasn't sure what was more disconcerting; the fact that he called me son or the fact that he was talking normally.
"JANUARY 2006 ADCENT FIXMASTER SIR!" I hollered back, as loud as the best of them.
"AS I THOUGHT! WE GOT OURSELVES A GEN-U-WINE ADSENSE LOSER" he spat with obvious contempt and disdain. "I BETCHA TWEAKED, FIDDLED, ADJUSTED AND TRIMMED TILL YOUR FINGERS WERE RAW TO THE BONE, BUT YOU NEVER MADE MORE THAN NICKEL AND CENTS. AIN'T THAT RIGHT LOSER?"
Evidently I no longer qualified as son anymore but I couldn't have cared less. He was right though; I never did make anything more than nickel and dimes from Google Adsense despite faithfully following every instruction from the plethora of expensive adsense courses I had bought. In fact things had gotten so bad, that at one point my girlfriend started getting jealous of the computer. Imagine that--jealous of a computer!
Anyway I suppose it must have been the sum of the past year's adsense frustrations; my girlfriend almost dumping me; not to mention being publicly berated and humiliated by a five-foot tyrant that made my eyes suddenly well up. Apparently the Fixmaster must have noticed because just like that he stopped his tirade. I guess nothing quite kills troop morale as a grown man blubbering for no apparent good reason. From that point onwards the meeting was less boot camp and more group therapy. The Fixmaster confided that he used to make a ton of money from adsense but had committed the cardinal sin of spending it just as fast as he made it! Like so many others he thought the adsense party would never end. But end it did! And when that happened he lost a heck of a lot more than just his adsense mega-revenue. He lost his wife, his kids, his expensive cars, his two houses and his identity. So he decided it was only fitting to lose the adsense guru moniker too and start a new chapter of his life. One of counseling adsense lost souls like those of us gathered at the weekly Adsense A
