Casual Articles - Ineffective DMOZ
Do you like teaching? I do! I have been teaching others since I explained a math problem to classmates at my elementary school. Since then I have taught many subjects -- math, English, computer programming and more. Once I started my business, it didn't take me long to incorporate teaching and mentoring into my offerings.I teach teleseminars as a part of my offerings. Teleseminars are classes, that are taught over the phone. Teaching teleseminars can help you further promote your expertise and brand, as well as get more clients and newsletter subscribers.Here is why you should teach teleseminars:- You can share your expertise with a big audience without leaving your office. You can teach people who live in other countries, and expand the number of people who can use your products and services.- It is easier for your clients to attend a teleseminar than a regular, in-person seminar. It's simpler for your customers to dial-in to your teleseminar than to join you in person. By teaching teleseminars you are increasing the number of people who can be exposed to your business.- You can show that you are different. Teaching is a practical way to demonstrate your expertise. Not all experts teach teleseminars. When you do it, you demonstrate your expertise and
Don’t you just have some people who start a fresh brand new blog and instantly exploded their blog readership and popularity? There are 100 secrets of blogging that most people aren’t aware of and one of these secrets is the art of launching a profitable blog.Here is 7 ways you can launch a profitable blog,1. Build you keywords database for the blog. You’ll need to have at least and not limited to 100 keywords for you profitable blog. These keywords will be used so that you can optimize your articles and blog to rank higher in the search engines. Build these keywords before you even build your profitable blog. The idea here is to search for low competition and high search volume keywords.2. Write 100 articles for distribution before you launch your profitable blog. Write an article for each of the 100 keywords you have for your profitable blog. This is done before you have a blog set up because you want to have a directory full of articles to distribute weekly for the first 4 weeks of your blog. It will add more exposure to your profitable blog.3. Use and optimize Wordpress. If you want to have a profitable blog then you must use the wordpress platform as it is the most professional and flexible system out there. After you install your wordpress blog, you ne
Webmasters who have tried getting sites listed in the free directory DMOZ have found it be a hit and miss attempt. Attempts to expedite the process make it worse, attempts to obtain acceptance status may make it worse, and in an industry only a few years old, many years can elapse before any inclusion is experienced, if at all. If DMOZ is the directory it believes itself to be, it should behave like that directory. As virtually any webmaster would concur – the chances of getting into DMOZ even with the best site in the genre, with original content, with a site that visitors love, with strong and constant traffic, excellent page rank and much more – are patchy, chancy and can even deteriorate a site’s rank if ever included if the editor wants it that way. Good search engine optimisation companies such as ourselves (see author bio) attain good rankings for their clients with or without the open directory. However a listing in the ODP makes this process easier by far, but the arcane and arbitrary behaviour by the open directory makes a submission far from open and unnecessarily frustrating. Here’s why DMOZ has become a liability to good search results on the web.
Submission Process:
To submit to DMOZ – the webmaster will go to DMOZ.org, find the most appropriate category – fill out the fields required and submit. Sometimes there is an automated indication of the success of the submission (not of acceptance, just the submission), and sometimes there isn’t. Did the submission occur? If you attempt to submit again when the submission was accepted – just not indicated – you will harm the chance of being included in the directory. If you submit several times because you’re not getting any indication that the submission was successful – you’ll be seen as a spammer. Sites that may be already accepted in the past may now be in jeopardy – and the one you are now attempting
One of the first decisions that you will have to make as a business owner is how the company should be structured. This decision will have long-term implications, so consult with an accountant and attorney to help you select the form of ownership that is right for you. In making a choice, you will want to take into account the following:- Your vision regarding the size and nature of your business.- The level of control you wish to have.- The level of structure you are willing to deal with.- The business' vulnerability to lawsuits.- Tax implications of the different ownership structures.- Expected profit (or loss) of the business.- Whether or not you need to reinvest earnings into the business.- Your need for access to cash out of the business for yourself.Sole ProprietorshipsThe vast majority of small businesses start out as sole proprietorships. These firms are owned by one person, usually the individual who has day-to-day responsibilities for running the business. Sole proprietors own all the assets of the business and the profits generated by it. They also assume complete responsibility for any of its liabilities or debts. In the eyes of the law and the public, you are one in the same with the business.Adva

According to a July 2002 survey conducted during the Pew Internet and American Life Joint Project, over 52 million people have looked for job information online and more than 4 million continue to do so every day.Furthermore, the study showed, some 47% of all the adult Internet users in the United States have gone online looking for positions or job information. Doubtless, those figures are even higher today, so one might readily assume that the Internet offers the exposure to job leads that the great majority of job seekers want. The truth, however, is less reassuring.Here’s why:At first glance, the Internet would seem to be a long-awaited boon to the weary job seeker. There are literally thousands of job sites plus sophisticated search engines to help you sort through them. There are services that will email you fresh openings per your parameters on a regular basis. You can answer help wanted ads online, email your r?sum? to hundreds of recruiters, explore different career fields, access company profiles, get professional career help – oh, the list of goodies goes on and on!And, to be fair, most of the job-hunting helps on the Net are useful to some extent. Yet studies show that, at best, of all the jobs posted on the Internet only 5

As I was brainstorming a hot market for my next project I came across a realization and that is the Art of Specialization. Hey, that rhymes!Let me explain…As I do my research to find hot products, one of the techniques that I keep in the back of my mind is specialization to a particular market. What that means is how can I take an existing product and put it into another niche market. This technique works best with broad topics. For Example:Topic: Marketing Specialization: marketing for real-estate agents, restaurant owners, car garage owners, and the list goes on.Topic: Cooking Specialization: cooking for the busy executive, for busy moms, and so on.Topic: How to fish Specialization: How and where to fish on the eastern shore, How and where to fish in MD, FL, CA, etc…You kind of get the idea of how this works. Now let me tell you some of these specialization techniques that you can put to use.* Find two hot topics and join them together to get that specialization. For example: You may find that quick and easy meals are the hot thing in cooking and find that yoga and Pilates are hot in physical fitness. You can then marry both together to form a unique product. For example: The Pilates cookbook: 35 quick and easy healthy r

For many entrepreneurs the creation of a business plan is the biggest hurdle in the development process of their fledgling enterprise. There is a mystery, almost a dread in many people when discussion of a business plan requirement is first broached. They conceptualize a boring, dry, painful experience and many would like to avoid this step if at all possible.What is a Business Plan?A business plan is a document that qualifies, quantifies and narrates a commercial opportunity. It is that simple to state, more difficult to execute, but anyone can customize a business plan that gets results. The plan must have an exciting Executive Summary. Like the opening scenes of a movie, or the first chapter of a book, the writer must set a hook.Typically, active investors, angels, venture capital groups and investment bankers are deluged with business plans. Screeners typically read the document before passing along to decision-makers within the firm. However, very few move along the decision making food chain precisely because the Executive Summary lacks excitement, punch or sets a high level of anticipation about what is inside the document.Having written dozens of business plans for clients I can attest that creating a plan that works is, well, work. No two plans are
Editor Attitude:
DMOZ editors think they are important. It’s true to say that webmasters do need them to perform a responsibility they’ve been entrusted with. Some editors live up to this responsibility with integrity – but most don’t. DMOZ editors will do things in their own way, in their own time, and sadly – most importantly – on their own terms. If you don’t submit a site in exactly in the right way, which is their right way – your site won’t be listed and you‘ll never know whether it’s still in the queue, moved to another editor, or just rejected. As of mid 2005 – there is no status coming out of DMOZ.
DMOZ Prima Donna’s:
Similar to above – Most DMOZ editors think they are a cut above the rest of us. They believe they hold the key to life or death – that for obviously meritocratic reasons they have been selected to wield power over webmasters who need to come crawling to them to plead their case. The problem starts at the top – the senior editors are geeks who’ve been operating in the upper hierarchy of DMOZ since the time that only computer geeks were really interested in the role. Like many geeks, they’re very intelligent but kinda out of touch with aspects of the real world. Aspects of great importance to an individual webmaster are not regarded with due diligence by senior editors and those they loosel
